Ekondo-Titi Attacks: 2021 School Killings and 2022 Vehicle Bombing
In Ekondo-Titi, Cameroon, Anglophone separatist gunmen killed five civilians at a bilingual school in November 2021, and in March 2022 a car bombing and gunfire attributed to Anglophone separatists killed six people, including the town's mayor and sub-prefect.

Ekondo-Titi is a commune and arrondissement in the Ndian department of Cameroon's Southwest Province, an area affected by the country's Anglophone conflict. The town has been the site of two documented violent incidents linked to the conflict between Cameroonian government forces and Anglophone separatist groups.
On November 24, 2021, armed individuals described as Anglophone gunmen stormed a bilingual school in Ekondo-Titi. The attack killed five civilians, including one teacher and four children.
On March 2, 2022, a car carrying multiple politicians and local officials was bombed by Anglophone separatists in Ekondo-Titi. Gunshots were also fired at the victims during the attack. All six people who were on board the vehicle at the time died. Among those killed were Mayor Nanji Kenneth and sub-prefect Timothée Aboloa. A lieutenant present was wounded and later died from his injuries. The attack also killed a local representative of the Cameroon People's Democratic Movement, a gendarme, and the vehicle's driver.
These incidents occurred amid the broader Anglophone crisis in Cameroon, a conflict involving government forces and separatist armed groups operating in the country's English-speaking Northwest and Southwest regions.
