This is a timeline of the Anglophone Crisis during 2017.

September

  • On September 9, the Ambazonia Defense Council (ADC) declared the deployment of the Ambazonia Defence Forces (ADF) and the launching of combat operations to achieve the independence of Ambazonia.[1] ADF carried out a guerilla attack against military base in Besongabang, Manyu Division. The ADF commander in charge claimed his soldiers managed to return to base unreduced. Three Cameroonian soldiers were killed in the attack.[2]
  • On September 11, a bomb targeting security forces was detonated in the city of Bamenda.[3] ADF claimed responsibility for the attack.[2]
  • On September 21, an improvised bomb wounded three police officers in Bamenda. Separatists were blamed for the attack, which the governor described as an act of terrorism.[4]
  • On September 22, Cameroonian troops opened fire against Anglophone protestors. According to eyewitnesses, five people were shot dead and many more were injured.[5]

October

  • On October 1, Ambazonia unilaterally declared its independence, and the Cameroonian Army moved into the region in force to fight the separatists.[6] At least eight people died in clashes between police and demonstrators in Buea and Bamenda. The separatists strategically choose this date for mass demonstrations, as it is the anniversary for the unification of Cameroon and Southern Cameroons.[7]
  • On October 9, the Cameroonian military claimed to have stopped "hundreds of Nigerian fighters" from entering Southern Cameroons to join the struggle.[8]

November

  • On November 8, separatists killed two or three Cameroonian gendarmes in Bamenda.[9]
  • On November 9, Cameroon issued international arrest warrants for 15 separatist leaders, including President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe.[10] Two Cameroonian soldiers were killed by separatists in two attacks the following night.[11]
  • On November 29, two soldiers and two policemen[12] were killed near the town Mamfe.[13]
  • Throughout November, eight soldiers, at least 14 civilians and five fugitives were confirmed killed due to the conflict.[13] Four soldiers and two policemen were killed in the last week of the month.[14]

December

  • On December 1, ahead of a planned Cameroonian offensive, authorities in the Manyu Department ordered people from 16 villages to evacuate, saying that anyone defying those orders will be treated as separatists.[15]
  • On December 4, the Cameroonian government officially declared war on "these terrorists who seek secession", referring to the ADF.[12]
  • On December 7, Cameroonian forces retook the villages of Bafia and Muyenge.[16]
  • On December 9, an attack on a military post near Mamfe left six separatists and one Cameroonian police officer dead. The Cameroonian government claimed that 200 guerillas took part in the attack, using guns, spears and machetes.[17]
  • On December 14, an elite army unit started an operation to retake villages that were controlled by the separatists.[18]
  • On December 15, days of heavy fighting in Mamfe came to an end. Both sides claimed victory, with the Cameroonian Army claiming to have retaken Mamfe from the ADF, while the ADF claimed it had never occupied Mamfe to begin with.[19] The Cameroonian Army also repelled a separatist attack on Dadi, a village near Mamfe.[20]
  • On December 18, four gendarmes were killed by separatists in Kembong.[21]
  • On December 20, Nigerian sources claimed Cameroonian soldiers crossed the border into Nigeria in pursuit of separatist fighters. While the governments of both Nigeria and Cameroon denied that any such incidents had taken place, Cameroonian military officials had previously accused Nigeria of sheltering separatists.[21]
  • Between December 18–23, Cameroonian troops destroyed dozens of houses and killed, beat and arrested several civilians in Kembong and Babong, Manyu Department, in retaliation for the killing of security forces.[18]
  • On December 25, two gendarmes and a Brigade Commander were wounded in Toko, Ndian Division. The residence of the Civil Administrator of Toko was also burned down.[22]
