Clashes leave about 20 people dead in Cameroon

More than 10,000 people have fled northern Cameroon after clashes between fishermen and herders from two neighbouring communities.

The clashes have led to the death of 20 people so far.

Those fleeing from the region have sought assistance in neighbouring Chad.

A provincial governor disclosed that the refugees have camped in schools in Chad,

Reports say the army was deployed to the area but authorities say it is the worst ethnic clash incident in recent days.
