Cameroon Separatists Open 'Community Schools'

Moki Edwin Kindzeka

   NJINIKOM, CAMEROON - Separatist groups in parts of Cameroon have opened
   what they call community schools, to replace government-run schools
   that have been shut down for the past three years. However, the
   government is urging parents and students to stay away from the
   separatist-run facilities.

   Most schools in the English-speaking Northwest and Southwest regions
   have been closed since November 2016, soon after professionals went on
   strike to protest what they called the marginalization of Anglophones
   by Cameroon's French-speaking majority.
