The Vipers are an Ambazonian separatist militia.[2] Described as a local self-defense group, they cooperate with the larger Ambazonia Defence Forces and SOCADEF.[3] The group was founded early in the Anglophone Crisis,[4] and by December 2017 they commanded between ten and 30 fighters.[1]
The Vipers have claimed responsibility for burning down government buildings.[5] In May 2018, they were blamed for the burning down of an examination center in Bamenda.[6]
