Armed separatists in Cameroon say they have publicly "executed" at close range two kidnapped civilians they accused of spying for the army.

A local administrator in Guzang village in the north-west said investigations were under way.

This follows the release of a video which showed two men sitting on a road and then being shot dead at close range.

Separatists have been fighting in the two English speaking regions of Cameroon since 2017.

More than 800,000 people have been displaced.

Rights groups have condemned government troops and separatists for killings, rapes, torture and burning homes and schools.
