Cameroon is a majority French-speaking
country but two southwestern regions
bordering Nigeria are Anglophone. Last
October, separatists declared independence
for a state they want to create called
Ambazonia, sparking a military crackdown by
the government of President Paul Biya.
In Nigeria’s Cross River state, which borders
southwest Cameroon, more than 33,000
Cameroonians have taken refuge from
violence, John Inaku, director general of the
State Emergency Management Agency
(SEMA), told Reuters by phone.
In neighbouring Benue state, there are 10,216
refugees, said Emmanuel Shior, director
general of the regional SEMA.
Earlier this month, the UN refugee agency had
said more than 8,000 refugees were in Cross
River state.
Explaining the disparity, Inaku told Reuters the
UN agency was only registering people in
Cross River coming in through conventional
routes.
“This is a war situation and refugees are
trooping in by the minute through the bush
paths, rivers and every other unconventional
routes open to them,” he said.
“During our advocacy to our border
communities we told them to allow the
refugees in and not be hostile to them so our
communities have been receiving them warmly
and accommodating them. These are very
remote areas, hard to reach without good
roads,” Inaku said.
Inaku said community facilities were becoming
overstretched and so people were getting
hostile towards the refugees, who were in
“deplorable condition”, hungry and in need of
medicine.
The Benue SEMA director general said the
agency had also had difficulty counting
refugees because they were in remote areas.
Early on Thursday, gunmen crossed from
Nigeria to attack a border post in Cameroon’s
southwest, security force witnesses said, with
the incident likely to further damage relations
between the neighbours.
The separatists pose the biggest challenge yet
to the 35-year rule of Biya, who will seek re-
election this year. The conflict is also fuelling
tensions between Nigeria and Cameroon.
Cameroonian military officials and pro-
government media accuse Nigeria of
sheltering the insurgents, who since last year
have waged a guerrilla campaign to establish
an independent homeland for Cameroon’s
English-speaking minority. |

Everything nnamdi KANU did is within the ambit of human rights recognized all over the world. The question should whether what they are doing is right or wrong in accordance to human laws ? The answer is yes. |
