There are calls for calm in western Cameroon, after a schoolgirl was killed when police at a checkpoint shot at a car.
The police officer blamed for firing the shots died after he was attacked by a crowd.
The incident took place in Buea, where English-speaking separatists have been in conflict with government forces for four years.
Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris reports from neighbouring Nigeria.

May Allah help citizens all nations all around the world in these hard times we are going through. Amen
Ameen
Hey this is supposed to happen only in America.
Everything going on around the world is Painful
Can I hire these crying women to my funeral???
You may if your passing away is worth thinking about
I have a dog that can sing at your funeral.
Satan
@Yah Saves 😂😂😂😂
How can you ask people to be calm when an innocent child is murdered??
How!? 😭
The same people carried out justice by killing another man’s child so to me they got their justice
Useless African police. They always take it on the poor, defenceless and powerless people.
You know, when a cop gets killed, they NEVER urge calm.
Because nobody is outraged or protesting when cops get killed.
@C. Lincoln im pretty sure cops get outraged when one of their own gets killed and they dont need to protest because they hold other forms of power the people dont
What causes this gunshot
becuase the mother of the child didnt pay a bribe
@Aloko Zay why was she supposed to pay a bribe? She didn’t have documents? Or she didn’t stop when they asked her to stop? So she is the root cause?
America needs Blacks’ energy
Shameful, America’s blacks stand with this family
Roll out the red carpet is what’s needed
Absolutely false
@babey tonny explain
@Gumbo19141 I have never seen black lives matter match for killings of blacks outside of the western world. If you guys could create the kind of riots you create for the sake of world powers seeing to the stop to authotarianism in African politics, African would have been more convenient for some of you to come and invest and make it better. Think like Akon.
Aljazeera is happy now
???????
governemnt employess: kills child
people: sad and angry
government: no reason for unrest, remain calm!
nah the government needs to pay the family for their loss
Africa turns back into war, they just can’t live in peace. Always something something over there
حسبنا الله ونعم الوكيل
Poor Ambazonia still suffering and under attack.
Their police are trying to copy American policing.
God bless the baby 😢😢
J.F.K. “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.”
No report on minorities genocide in Bangladesh
Happening now
Who cares 🤷♂️
@M Is that what your parents said to you every time you told them you were hungry?
Enough is enough. Let the union end if that’s what is needful.
Southern Cameroons is an open air concentration camp.
Police or boko haram?
Gendarme
Thanks for sharing this news.
More 🐖🐷🐽 killing children.
Sick world.
Lmao why are their hands all on their head in the thumbnail
Free Amazonia
no ? ambozonia will collapse, better if we stay with Cameroon
looooooots of crazy in those streets. those people seem extremely annoying.
Bro wtf, a military officer shot a 5 year old girl point blank in the head at an illegal checkpoint made to extort people of money, because her mother refused to pay bribe since she had done nothing wrong, all that happened infront of these people who have seen similar events happened to their loved ones for the last five years so wtf are you even talking about?
Jesus Christ will shine on you and give you peace soon
It seems like the world is going crazy ! One police officer should never represent all law enforcement or their government !
Come on Cameron get it together, fighting for someone else’s language is sad. Introducing indigenous language that should solve the problem.
Is this taboo? Why not take a laissez faire approach if you’re not hung ho. I think the zeitgeist is responsible for this pogrom.
The people aren’t fighting for someone else’s language. Their fighting to reinstate their independence from the corrupt regime in Yaounde.
The emphasis on language is simply used as a means to distinguish between the two groups that are in conflict.
Which of the 260 indigenous languages should solve this problem?
At the 17 second mark of the video you see that they blurred out the dead 5 year old they are carrying through the streets. The women are wailing for a very
good reason. A child has been murdered! The people want justice!
The police needs to be punished by law.
They same people killed the police and is still them demanding for justice
@Marie Kimbi
True! These are tricky people. However, that police has to put on trial and court proceedings are necessary if anyone wants fairness.
I need to be honest I support the right of the English-speaking region to fight for independence 😒 but having said that the truth is that Cameroon is completely insane on all sides 🤦♂️ I have seen videos and photos of government military and also English-speaking rebels committing unspeakable torture and murder to people including women 🤦♂️
💩🕳
THE BRITISH AND USA GOVERNMENT SHOULD COME AND HELP THIS ENGLISH SPEAKING CAMERON PEOPLE
Selfish accomplices will never do that
Thanks for telling our story.
The world needs to know what is happening.
This is a new low in Cameroon.
This report omitted the part about the mob catching and killing the officer who shot the little girl. When people have had enough, they will take matters into their own hands. RIP Little One.
The French Cameroonian hate the English speaking Cameroonian
NIGERIA AND CAMEROON 🇨🇲 police are so corrupt that they can kill for 10cent ,those two country police are a big disgrace to police in the world
