Cameroon Separatists Ignore Calls For Peaceful Elections

Moki Edwin Kindzeka

   YAOUNDE - Separatists in Cameroon have ignored calls to allow voters in
   the northwest and southwest regions to vote in next month's elections.
   Fighters have attacked staff of the elections body ELECAM and destroyed
   voting materials ahead of the official launch of campaigning Saturday.

   Francois Louceny Fall, representative of the U.N. secretary-general in
   central Africa, says Cameroonians should support their government and
   make the Feb. 9 elections a success.
