Cameroon: Security Forces Crack Down on MRC Meeting in Mbanga

    Maurice Kamto, National President of CRM.

A tense standoff unfolded in Mbanga on Sunday, April 27, 2025, as security forces disrupted a gathering of CRM (Cameroon Renaissance Movement of Cameroon) militants at the party's headquarters. The authorities intervened, dispersing the crowd and making several arrests.

Eyewitnesses report that the security forces arrived at the scene, citing unspecified reasons for the interruption. The CRM militants, who had gathered for a meeting, were reportedly caught off guard, leading to a chaotic scene.

The incident has sparked concerns about the state of political freedom and security in the region. The CRM has been a vocal critic of the government, and the party's activities have often been subject to scrutiny.

Details about the number of arrests and the identities of those detained are still emerging. The incident is currently under investigation, and reactions from the CRM and the authorities are awaited.

This development raises questions about the government's tolerance for political dissent and the ability of opposition parties to operate freely. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how this incident will impact the political landscape in Cameroon.
