Le Cameroun a confirm\u00e9 lundi la mort de 16 de ses citoyens engag\u00e9s aux c\u00f4t\u00e9s de l’arm\u00e9e russe en Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Le minist\u00e8re camerounais des Affaires \u00e9trang\u00e8res a publi\u00e9 une liste de 16 noms, obtenue par une note verbale de l’ambassade de Russie \u00e0 Yaound\u00e9 le 5 mars 2026.<\/p>\n
Le document pr\u00e9cise que ces Camerounais sont d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9s dans la zone de la pr\u00e9tendue \u00ab op\u00e9ration militaire sp\u00e9ciale \u00bb, terme employ\u00e9 par la Russie pour d\u00e9signer son invasion \u00e0 grande \u00e9chelle de l’Ukraine, lanc\u00e9e en f\u00e9vrier 2022.<\/p>\n
Les noms des 16 personnes ont \u00e9t\u00e9 lus \u00e0 la radio nationale lundi. Les autorit\u00e9s ont appel\u00e9 les familles des d\u00e9funts \u00e0 se manifester aupr\u00e8s du gouvernement.<\/p>\n
C’est la premi\u00e8re fois que Yaound\u00e9 confirme la mort de combattants camerounais engag\u00e9s dans l’arm\u00e9e russe en Ukraine.<\/p>\n
En f\u00e9vrier, une enqu\u00eate du collectif All Eyes on Wagner a r\u00e9v\u00e9l\u00e9 que des centaines de combattants africains enr\u00f4l\u00e9s dans l’arm\u00e9e russe entre 2023 et mi-2025 \u00e9taient d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9s.<\/p>\n
Avec 94 d\u00e9c\u00e8s sur 335 combattants, le Cameroun a enregistr\u00e9 le bilan le plus lourd parmi les contingents africains.<\/p>\n
En novembre 2025, Kiev a affirm\u00e9 que Moscou avait recrut\u00e9 plus de 1\u00a0400 ressortissants africains pour combattre dans sa guerre contre l’Ukraine. Ces derniers mois, plusieurs pays africains, dont le Kenya et l’Afrique du Sud, ont d\u00fb traiter des cas de citoyens qui auraient \u00e9t\u00e9 tromp\u00e9s et enr\u00f4l\u00e9s de force dans les forces arm\u00e9es russes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
