The students, from the University of Buea, the capital of Southwest Region, were kidnapped on Wednesday as they were training, officials said.

Kidnappings for political and financial motives are a daily hazard in the Northwest and Southwest Regions of Cameroon, which are in the grip of an armed separatist campaign launched in October 2017. According to the UN, the unrest has forced 437,000 people to flee their homes, in addition to more than 32,000 others who have sought shelter in neighbouring Nigeria.The roots of the conflict today date back a century, when post-World War I Germany surrendered Kamerun, its principal colony in West Africa, which was then taken over by Britain and France.A year later, the British colony also gained independence.
