The conflict's battle lines in this Central African country are drawn by language. Around 80% of the country speaks French; the rest speaks English. For decades, Francophones and Anglophones lived in relative harmony. But over the past two years, violence spurred by this linguistic split has brought Cameroon to the brink of civil war. Hundreds have died, close to 500,000 have been displaced, and activists have been rounded up and jailed. The government claims armed English-speaking separatists who want to create a new nation called Ambazonia have terrorized civilians and attacked government forces, prompting the military to retaliate against them. In this conversation, we find out more about the Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon. Assistant Director at the University of Pretoria’s Centre for Human Rights, Lloyd Kuveya, joins Lerato Mbele for the conversation.
