Separatist Fighting Continues in Cameroon a Year After Major National
Dialogue

Moki Edwin Kindzeka

   YAOUNDE - October 4 marks a year since Cameroon held its Major National
   Dialogue to solve the Anglophone separatist crisis that has killed at
   least 3,000 people in four years. Cameroonians and some participants at
   the dialogue say that fighting has continued unabated and that most
   parts of the English-speaking regions are ungovernable, an indication
   the event was a failure, but the government maintains it was
   successful.
   Eric Tataw, a U.S.-based Anglophone activist says the National Dialogue
   organized by Cameroon president Paul Biya a year ago to solve the
   separatist crisis has failed woefully. Tataw says for peace to return
   to the restive English-speaking regions the international community
   should force Cameroon to organize what he calls true dialogue in
   another country.
