notes: 08 December. Unidentified armed men abducted 12 University of Bamenda students. They later released a video of the students and urged others against attending schools. The Ambazonian Separatists are known for their opposition to the education system, which they view as an extension of the Francophone government. The students were later released. However, a statement issued by the Governor indicated that a criminal gang seeking a ransom was responsible.
