The ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ investigative team Africa Eye used open-source techniques to find out who was responsible for a shocking crime.
In July 2018, a horrifying video began to circulate on social media. It shows two women and two young children being led away at gunpoint by a group of soldiers. The captives are blindfolded, forced to the ground and shot 22 times.
The government of Cameroon initially dismissed the video as βfake news.β But through open-source investigation β examining details such as buildings, shadows, and uniforms β ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Africa Eye has been able to find out where the video was filmed, when it was filmed, and who was responsible. Their findings place the blame squarely on Cameroonian forces.
