Three men have been charged by the US Justice Department with providing financial support to separatist insurgents in Cameroon.
The three US citizens of Cameroonian descent were detained on Monday and charged with conspiring to use WMDs abroad and offer material support for kidnappings when they appeared in court.
According to the Justice Department, each guy held a top position in a group that backed and oversaw the Ambazonian Restoration Forces.
In addition to other civilians thought to be supporting the government, they "allegedly solicited and raised funds for equipment, supplies, weapons and explosive materials to be used in attacks against Cameroonian government personnel, security forces, and property."
The funds were raised through online chat applications and payment platforms from individuals located in the US and abroad, the department said in a statement.
