The US diplomat who has been very vocal on the crisis in the Anglophone regions said violence perpetrated by Ambazonia separatists against villages, homes and civilians must stop.
I sympathize with the determination of anglophone Cameroonians to preserve their culture & way of life, but I must condemn the violence perpetrated by "Ambazonian" separatists against villages, homes and civilians. It is time for a ceasefire and a serious mediated negotiation.
