Dear Reader:
Please find attached the most recent briefing paper from the Centre for Law and Public Policy, entitled: Cameroon’s Anglophone Crisis: Context, Scenarios, and Suggested Intervention Strategies. It provides elements of analysis, and suggests areas for intervention – by public authorities, political actors, civil society stakeholders, and development partners – to address the situation in the immediate and near term.
The briefing paper is comprised of two parts. Part I traces elements of the political, security, and humanitarian context, and projects short and medium-term scenarios for its evolution, including flashpoints to be averted or mitigated. Part II charts potential pathways towards resolution of the crisis and to attenuate its effects. It identifies three strands of action: a political track for broader conflict resolution, a development response to address the sources of discontent that are drivers of the crisis, and a humanitarian track to contain and mitigate its effects on the population in the affected regions.
Kind regards,
