"Deadly Gunmen Strike in Ongoing Anglophone Crisis: 10 Lives Lost in Northwest Cameroon"

Gunmen killed 10 people and injured two others in Cameroon's troubled northwest region. The attackers arrived in vehicles, accused people of failing to support local separatists, and opened fire. The Ambazonia Defence Forces (ADF), the main separatist group, denied responsibility. The governor has launched a manhunt for the perpetrators. The ongoing conflict in Cameroon's English-speaking regions, which began in 2016, has resulted in the deaths of over 6,000 people. Human rights group Amnesty International has criticized all parties involved for committing atrocities.

The NAACP Board of Directors has issued a travel advisory for the state of Florida, urging people to avoid the state due to what they say is an "aggressive attempt to erase Black history and to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion programs in Florida schools" by Governor DeSantis. Other organizations representing marginalized groups in the state have also issued similar advisories. The Governor's office dismissed the advisory as a political stunt.
