A US federal court in Kansas City, Missouri, has sentenced three Cameroonian-American men to prison for providing financial and logistical support to separatist fighters in Cameroon’s Anglophone regions. Francis Chenyi and Lah Nestor Langmi each received 15-year sentences, while Claude Ngenevu Chi was sentenced to 5 years and 3 months. The men were convicted of supporting the manufacture and use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) used in attacks targeting cities in the Northwest and Southwest regions, including areas near the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations stadium. They coordinated operations, trained individuals in IED usage, and facilitated the transfer of funds from the US to Cameroon for these purposes. Langmi was specifically linked to the coordination of kidnappings, including those of traditional chief Fonmbam Aforteka and Cardinal Christian Tumi. Chenyi was found to have provided financial contributions to these activities, marking a further crackdown by US authorities on those funding the Anglophone crisis. Following their prison terms, all three will face three years of supervised release.
