A gang of approximately 20 young men armed with machetes and knives terrorized Antenne Bangoss, a quarter in Douala, on June 17th. Witnesses reported the masked attackers vandalized shops, looted money, and injured over 10 people.According to Thoma Takel, a resident, the attackers 'came from all sides…destroyed shops…assaulted people, stabbing anyone who resisted.'Valentin, a bar owner, recounted the attackers stole money from his drawer and stabbed others who fought back. Thankfully, no deaths were reported.Authorities are investigating the incident. While some suspected the gang might be the 'microbes,' a notorious Douala criminal group, witnesses identified them as residents of the neighboring Beedi quarter.Thomas, another witness, claims the attack was revenge for the beating of three Beedi youths caught smoking cannabis in Bangoss a week prior.Police and gendarmerie are gathering information and searching for suspects at the scene.Source: Cameroon News Agency
