Anger in Cameroon over femicide after eight women killed in a week

In a statement, the opposition Cameroon Renaissance Movement (CRM) party said it was outraged by the "tragic recurrence of domestic femicides" and accused the government of being passive about the issue.

The femicide cases, most of which are attributed to domestic violence, have been reported in different parts of the country.

A parliamentary session, the last one for the year, is due to be held in November.
