This is a timeline of the Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon during 2025.

The Anglophone Crisis is an ongoing armed conflict in the Republic of Cameroon in Central Africa, where historically English-speaking Ambazonian separatists are seeking the independence of the former British trust territory of Southern Cameroons, which was unified with Cameroon since 1961.

January

  • On January 3, seven Cameroonian soldiers were killed when militants attacked a control post in Akwaya, Manyu. Another soldier was reported injured, and three were missing. According to locals, the militants came from Nigeria's Taraba State, and attacked in two waves, the first of which was repulsed with casualties. The attackers were reported to be Nigerian Fulani militants. Days later, the Ambazonia Governing Council (AGovC) claimed that its armed wing, the Ambazonia Defence Forces (ADF) had carried out the attacks.
  • On January 7, the Bamenda family home of the former AGovC activist Capo Daniel was burned down. Capo Daniel blamed separatist fighters from Bui.
