YAOUNDE (Reuters) - Gunmen opened fire on people as they slept in a town in western Cameroon early on Monday, leaving at least 20 dead, a local government official said.
The attackers struck before dawn and set houses on fire in Mamfe, the administrative head of the surrounding Manyu division said. The town in Cameroon's South West region is less than 50 km (30 miles) from the border with Nigeria.
