Cameroon: When Rivers Become Raiders

Cameroon's Other Invasion:
Far-North Cameroon, 2023

This gallery is a brief selection from a much larger body of work. The remaining images and full narrative are reserved for my forthcoming book. For commissioning or licensing enquiries, please contact me directly.

In northern Cameroon, floods now outlast headlines—and wars. Entire towns remain submerged for months, even years, forcing families to fish where they once farmed. Displacement camps house tens of thousands, living in tents never meant to survive multiple rainy seasons. Yet many seasons later, families are still stuck in these very tents.

Lives have been reset to zero. Homes, livelihoods, and futures—washed away by a climate no longer bound to seasons. Amid insurgent violence, people now face a slower, relentless assault: water that never recedes.

While the government denies the scale of collapse, locals trade soaked memories for survival, stitching tarps, selling plastic sacks, and delivering babies behind plastic sheeting. They wait—not for the rain to stop, but for the world to care.
