As the crisis in Cameroon’s South-West and North-West Anglophone regions continues, and the government in Yaoundé intensifies its actions against the pro-independent movement, the number of people crossing the border into neighbouring Nigeria is increasing. Critics have accused government forces of killing dozens of civilians, while the administration is also alleging that suspected separatists have killed more than 10 security personnel since the crisis intensified following the unilateral declaration of independence on October 1, 2017. Prior to this, there were protests in 2016 with English-speaking Cameroon calling for more autonomy from the majority Frenchspeaking regions. The protesters had accused the government of imposing the French language in schools and courts; and also subjecting them to economic marginalisation including in allocation of resources.
