Protection Cluster NWSW Cameroon Protection Monitoring Update (Q4 2024)

In Q4 2024, the protection environment in the North West (NW) and South West (SW) regions was marred by ad-hoc lockdownsarmed clashes between non-State Armed Groups (NSAGs) and State Security Forces (SSF), abductions for ransom, extortion and harassment of the civilian population by NSAGs, and an increase in the use of Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) by NSAGs.
