Cameroon’s President Paul Biya has condemned the murder of seven children in a mass shooting at a private school in the English-speaking region.
The president called Saturday’s shooting a “barbaric and cowardly crime against innocent children.”
He said that he had instructed the security agencies to “ensure that the perpetrators of these despicable acts are apprehended by our defense and security forces and brought to justice.”
The president tweeted his condolences to the grieving families:
UN Secretary General António Guterres urged authorities to investigate the attack and ensure that those responsible are held accountable.
“He asks all armed actors to refrain from attacking civilians and to respect international humanitarian law and international human rights law,” read a statement from his office.
