DOUALA (Reuters) - Clashes between herders and fishers in northern Cameroon have killed at least 12 people this week in the area's worst ethnic violence in recent memory, local officials said on Thursday.
The fighting in the Far North region, already plagued by violence from Islamist militant group Boko Haram, broke out on Tuesday, with fishers from the Mousgoum ethnic group opposing Arab herders, said Mahamat Bahar, a local customary chief.
