Southern Cameroonians Descend on Washington DC: Demand A Response from the Rest of the World
While the Biya Regime has been engaged in killings and burning down of villages, the pro-independence fighters, under the banner of self defence have been engage in repprisal attacks on both the military and those tagged as 'traitors' or 'black legs'. What this effectively means is that, as the conflict continues, Cameroonians are killing each other, while the person who has the ability to halt hostilities is tucked away in a Swiss Hotel.
As Cameroon’s Military & Civilians Kill Each Other, Biya Wins
With the current war situation, Biya is using one stone to shoot two birds. He is hoping that the military with their superior weapons and training will kill off any form of resistance from the English-speaking agitators. Secondly Biya hopes that the conflict will serve as a distraction should he win the elections on October 7. The level of agitation among Francophone activists who are also disgruntled with Biya's barren 36 years in power, is expected to increase over the coming weeks and might explode with a win.
Cameroon Military Allegedly Capture Base of Separatist Fighters
The Cameroon Military has been in a long drawn out conflict with Separatist fighters, following Biya's declaration of war against activists. Activists who were hitherto peacefully demanding that the Anglophone problem be resolved either through a Two-State Federation or through a Separation of the Country, feel their actions are justified as they are merely defending themselves from Biya's brutality. Huge casualties have been recorded on both sides of the warring factions, but the most casualty has been suffered by the ordinary citizen, faced with the challenges of a war situation.
