Severe clash between separatist group and military forces halt movement in Limbe

For some days now, Buea and Limbe have come under severe clash between the separatist group and the military. Limbe has had a ten days ghost town for the first time since the crises broke out in late 2016.

A few days ago, I spoke with someone who resides in Limbe over the phone and the sound of gunshots was heard. The town is no longer safe, he told me. Most of the time, they are on the floor for fear of stray bullets.

It was said that the main road to the town of Limbe was blocked and there has been no movement into or out of Limbe recently, not even petroleum products from the oil refinary.

A town of friendship is gradually turniing into a town of warship.
