[THREAD] La France est le 3ème exportateur mondial d’armement. Or vendre des armes, surtout à des régimes autoritaires et non démocratiques, c’est se rendre complices, voire acteurs des crimes qu’ils commettent grâce à elles. Démonstration avec #FrenchArms @Mediapart ⤵️

J'ai croisé des militaires FR à Yaoundé qui adoreraient une solution
A l'époque, des militaires camerounais se partageaient joyeusement des vidéos de tortures sur WhatsApp. Notamment d'anglophones.

NEWS In this video we will show that France granted a license for armored vehicles (the Bastion, made by Acmat) to Cameroon, despite widely reported human rights violations by their army. And we will reveal where they were used.
Since 2009 Boko Haram terrorizes the north of Cameroon, Chad and Nigeria. The Rapid Intervention Forces (BIR) of the Cameroon army were sent to protect the population. But they are also caught committing grave human rights violations.
Amnesty International wrote in 2015 how the BIR randomly arrested civilians, and how they tortured and killed them.
