Cameroonian families call for repatriation of relatives sent to fight for Russia in Ukraine
Young Cameroonian men, promised jobs in Russia, are being recruited into the military for the Ukraine conflict. A group called "Bring Back Our Sons and Brothers" is urging both Russia and Cameroon to address these covert recruitment networks. They organized a protest in Yaoundé, highlighting the plight of families affected by these schemes. Reports indicate that over 1,400 Africans have joined the Russian military, with many casualties. Families like Catherine Djock's are left in uncertainty, waiting for news of their loved ones who were misled into combat roles instead of employment. The group demands transparency and the return of their sons.
