A soldier was killed on Wednesday in a rebel attack on Cameroon’s western city of Buea, where Afcon 2021 Group F teams are camped.

According to Reuters, the rebels exchanged gunfire with the army inside the city just hours before the match between Mali vs Tunisia in Limbe, 30km outside. The soldier was killed by an improvised explosive device (IED) during the attack.
