In July 2018, a video showing women and children being blindfolded and shot by men in military uniform began circulating on social media. Amnesty International blamed Cameroonian soldiers for the killings in the country. The Cameroonian government initially dismissed the reports as “fake news” and insisting that the soldiers were not Cameroonian.

Via Africa Eye , the BBC's open-source investigative norway cell phone number list unit on when and where the killings took place, the type of weapons used and the identity of the perpetrators. The investigation showed that the military uniforms worn by the soldiers in the video were indeed those of certain divisions of the Cameroonian army.

Open-source journalism and investigations involve using public information – such as satellite imagery, open data sets, and social media – to tell a story or verify controversial events. Journalists can mine, verify, and analyze data or information that is readily available on the Internet.
