Cameroon's Anglophone crisis: Separatists threaten French-speaking regions • FRANCE 24 English

For the past seven years, Cameroonian authorities have been struggling to contain the separatist movement in the country's Anglophone regions. But lately, clashes have been spilling into the French-speaking neighbouring regions. In Bamenyam, located about six hours from Cameroon's capital Yaoundé, nine people were killed and about 10 others were abducted when gunmen ambushed the village in November of last year. Since then, authorities have stepped up security to prevent future attacks. Our correspondents report.

[@slyninja4444]

I love how everyone here seems to forget that English and French are not native to Cameroon 🤦‍♂️

[@user-vn9dw8mv6e]

Well actually if you are a born and raised cameroonian like me you would know English and French have alot to do with my country their actually how we define tribes and are our two native lagauges apart from tribe laugages so you basicly don't know what your talking about

[@user-vn9dw8mv6e]

You do not know what you are talking about

[@user-vn9dw8mv6e]

You just think these laugages and countries have nothing to do and ask someone who knows the true story

[@user-vn9dw8mv6e]

🤨

[@user-vn9dw8mv6e]

Oh I really do love how you pretend to know hing about cameroon my people do not apricait that

[@chibuikee7482]

It can't be the English language that's causing all this issues please tell me it's not

[@Selfpaid96]

It’s more than just the language , the English peoples of Cameroon are treated like second class citizens

[@boborigue]

​@@Selfpaid96 Especially by the English-speaking government member called Atanga Nji.

[@user-vn9dw8mv6e]

​@@Selfpaid96 you are so right there are more French schools than english

[@user-vn9dw8mv6e]

The French are the reason africa is still suffering till this day

[@boborigue]

​@@user-vn9dw8mv6e I believe the Africans themselves are to be blamed, namely the ones who gained power. We can find a lot of struggling countries (South Sudan, Liberia, etc.) on the continent that weren't colonized by the French. Countries irrelant of their colonial background tend to perform better when their leadership take the righf decision. For e.g Senegal, Ghana, Mauritius, etc.
