Operation Bamenda Clean is an ongoing Cameroonian special counter-insurgency operation in Bamenda, Northwest Region, aimed at preventing armed Ambazonian separatists from operating in the city.[16] By January 2021, Cameroon was gradually achieving what a security analyst at the University of Yaoundé called "relative peace" in Bamenda,[4] and the mayor of the city stated that the operation was succeeding.[3] However, as of March 2021, separatist-imposed ghost towns remained widely respected by the local population,[17] and separatists controlled most roads leading in and out of Bamenda.[18]
