It's happening in the two English-speaking regions of Cameroon. The unrest began with lawyers protesting against the use of French in courts, soon followed by teachers who have been on strike ever since. They blame Cameroon's central government for imposing the domination of the French language. Our correspondents report. A programme prepared by Patrick Lovett and Elom Marcel Toble.

(July 19, 2018) – Government security forces and armed separatists have committed grave abuses against residents of Cameroon’s Anglophone region, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. The region has been roiled by protests and violent clashes rooted in longstanding political grievances by the country’s Anglophone minority. Based on research in the region, satellite imagery analysis, and video analysis, the report, “‘These Killings Can Be Stopped’: Government and Separatist Groups Abuses in Cameroon’s Anglophone Regions,” found that both government forces and armed separatists have abused civilians in the western part of the country, displacing over 180,000 people since December 2017. Anglophone separatists have extorted, kidnapped, and killed civilians, and prevented children from going to school. In response to protests and violence by armed separatists, government forces have killed civilians, used excessive force against demonstrators, tortured and mistreated suspected separatists and detainees, and burned hundreds of homes in several villages.

Thousands of people are fleeing unrest in English-speaking areas of southern Cameroon into southern Nigeria. The government has banned public gatherings, suspended transportation and shut businesses as activists seek a state independent from the majority French-speaking areas. The more than 30,000 refugees now in southern Nigeria are being looked after by the Nigeria refugee agency and a few non-governmental organizations. But many say they don’t have much to eat or anywhere suitable to live.

The 131-page report, “They Are Destroying Our Future: Armed Separatist Attacks on Students, Teachers, and Schools in Cameroon’s Anglophone Regions,” documents scores of education-related attacks by armed separatist groups in the English-speaking North-West and South-West regions between March 2017 and November 2021. The groups have killed, beaten, abducted, threatened, and terrorized students and education professionals; harassed and intimidated families into keeping their children out of school; and burned, destroyed, damaged, and looted school buildings.

Cameroon's two-year-old national crisis threatens the country's very foundations. Christopher Fomunyoh speaks to an audience of African security professionals at a program hosted by the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, discussing the nature and causes of the grievances that brought this crisis to a head, as well as recommendations for addressing them. CHAPTERS 2:49 - Overview of the Crisis 5:33 - History of Anglophone Marginalization in Cameroon 13:58 - The Role of Regional and Continental Bodies 17:36 - Conflict Patterns 19:11 - Different Approaches to the Crisis 22:43 - "How Do We Get Out of This?": 5 Recommendations Since October 2016, Cameroon has been dealing with a national crisis, one which threatens the foundation on which the country was built. There are two parallel tracks leading to the current crisis: At first, there were grievances from various sectors, notably teachers and lawyers in the Anglophone region. Because of how the crisis at that stage was managed, these grievances morphed into more serious political grievances that call into question the very existence of the republic of Cameroon. There is a lot of confusion about the nature and causes of the crisis, and the depth of the grievances people hold. Left unaddressed, these grievances will only cause the crisis to resurface.

In northwestern Cameroon, English-speaking separatists are fighting soldiers of the French-speaking government and schools are especially hard-hit. Pastor Roland Arrey wants to counter this with a recreation center that also teaches classes. The conflict in Cameroon is rooted in the country's colonial past. Cameroon was a German colony from 1884 until during World War I, when Great Britain and France occupied the land and divided it between themselves — and installed two completely different legal and educational systems. With independence in 1960, the new government was supposed to grant both parts of the country as much autonomy within the framework of a federal structure as possible. But the English-speaking northwest felt increasingly oppressed. Over the last few years, the conflict has become increasingly violent, and hundreds of thousands of people are currently fleeing. But the international community is hardly taking any notice. Schools, in particular, are repeatedly under attack. The separatists see them as a way for the government to maintain its power, although they also claim that government troops are responsible for the attacks. For Cameroon's children, the situation is disastrous: In many parts of the northwest, there are no more classes. In the village of Numba, pastor Roland Arrey wants to change this — even in the face of repeated death threats. ------------------------------------------------------------------- DW Documentary gives you knowledge beyond the headlines.
