Cameroon: 'Ambazonia', a thousand day conflict
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- In the two English-speaking regions of southern Cameroon, the country's regular army has been fighting secessionist armed groups in an asymmetric war for the past three years. In October 2017, English-speaking separatists declared a breakaway state known as "Ambazonia". The armed insurgency has turned into a guerrilla war, killing thousands of people, displacing nearly 700,000 more and leaving millions of civilians trapped. FRANCE 24 brings you a rare glimpse of one of Africa's forgotten humanitarian tragedies.

As someone who hails from this region and who has read quite extensively on this issue, I can affirm to you that at the root of this conflict lies corruption and bad governance and not merely language as some may think. This conflict could have been so easily avoided but the government believed the army could fix all problems. This is a classical example of violence not always being the solution to problems and this is the direct consequence of lack of tact and wit in governance. Great report.
"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent", from author Isaac Asimov.

thank you for mentioning this, it's hard to believe that this much conflict is simply due to a difference in language, the issue is obviously much more complex than that and as you said Cameroon's corrupt government plays a large role in this
This report from France 24 is necessarily loop sided to suit the french and LRC arguments so totally irrelevant.
Your comment is right brother but violence isn’t the way . They were asking for their right and a national dialogue was held . Now is no longer about demanding things this is them making money from this violence. Bro we are all Cameroonians so they are not the only hurt here . So if I agree to disagree with you.burning schools , hospitals, killing families children ? And you want to justify it with bad governance and corruption ? Please stop nonsense
One sided report sponsored by Paul biya. Journalism is not supposed to be biased. Poor analysis of the facts on the ground.
Why don't you tell the other side? This comment section is open for everyone to write or tell anything they want.
Du courage au bir
@@michelnazaireze2609 yes I agreed with you BIR,Some anglophones have destroyed the infrastructures and murdered their own people because of the diaspora especially those in Maryland, USA.
just the fact no single military soldier fighting in the anglophone zone can speak English tells you alot about the crisis
Yes … I wonder why are there no English speaking senior military officers
This conflict is not about language.. Its historical, economical, diplomatic and Unconstitutional. Your report is very biased and one-sided. You have told the story from the perspective of the Cameroon Government. If the government was right as ur report claims, why will the marginalized populations be protesting to the level of picking up arms? There's more to this story France 24!
This report is bias. English part of Cameroon has been marginalized for decades and France knows about it but refuse to do nothing
Explain?!? I heard they slaughtered the people for protesting?!?
It's not a valid reason to deprive children from their rights
You have to be there before saying anything. Don't stand at Yaounde and talking nonsense.

This is such a biased report. It favors French hegemony. Ambazonia will be free.
Oh God remember southern cameron as u remembered Israel from Egyptian enslavement for the Glory of yr mighty name amen.
How can such a beautiful & naturally green setting be engulfed in brutal conflict? We Africans have to learn to resolve issues without violence. Nothing is ever resolved with violence. Hope those kids can resume their classes quickly. It’s sad those kids are being rob them of their future
Not under CameroUn it will not happen.
When injustice becomes a law, resistance becomes a duty..!!
Every corner of the earth gods chosen people are in chaos. This hurts my soul to see this everywhere.

The particularity here is that it is two brothers fighting. So bothe of them are suffering.
why do you name your video that way ? Cameroon authorities should sue France24 for that
Click bait
FREEDOM FOR BIAFRAN NATION AND AMBAZONIA NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS
They are freedom fighters and not seperatist
FREEDOM FOR BIAFRAN, ODUDUWA AND AMBAZONIA ! FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM
One year after, I stumbled on this rather biased and inconsequential report which seems more like a military propaganda. You don't walk with the
military and talk about a fair coverage. Shameful Regina
they call the country bilingual but meanwhile the soldiers the president and his government don't even know English 🙄💔
God be with Cameroon
Funny two African groups fighting for languages that they didn't even create
Making such an erroneous oversimplification is exposing your ignorance over this conflict... You will benefit from reading the reports of researchers on this crisis.

Exactly. My country lookn REAL GOOFY
Really funny
2 UN trust territories going their separate ways as it should be
All we need is freedom
Congratulations to Abazona people for joining the undefeated BIAFRA.
The senior territory of Biafra and Ambazonia are brothers %%%√√√√
Ambazonia joining Biafra is a very big strategic error. It automatically makes the alliance of LRC an Nigeria therefore making our refugees in Nigeria to suffer untold repercussions.
@@georgebatearung3823 refugees? Has it really gotten that bad
a civil war born of the unmet demands of equality by the anglophones from the francophones SAD
The situation In Cameroon is not about French vs English. It is not a language problem. The people in southern Cameroon do not hate our brothers and sisters in la republic du cameroun. The people in southern Cameroon are fighting the regime of the government of Paul Biya who have killed my people in southern cameroon in many genocidal ways. They are not fighting French vs English. Please look deeper into this conflict in the country. They are fighting oppression, they are not fighting over French or english. The people in my country are fighting for their basic human rights, and freedom. It is not a language issue. My people have been killed, innocent childrens, mother's, fathers and much more have killed or displaced, oppressed. our villages and regions have been burned. The Government regime have declared war on my people in Southern Cameroon all because they peacefully protested with leaves and palm trees in their hands asking to be treated as human beings. We are not fighting over whether you speak French or english. We are fighting for our basic human rights, for freedom in our land. Forgive me if I offended you. May God Bless you in Jesus name.
But they are killing children and old people they are not hurting the government they are killing there self ..what i don't understand too if they are so poor how do you get guns ..who ever that is leading these people don't like them am talking both sides ..am sure. All the leaders are safe
Cameroon isn't bilingual there's nothing like that in this country cameroon, my question now is can the president of the Republic of Cameroon speaks English language he knows only his language French. #Fabcho #street story #indipendence #freeambazonia God bless our home land🙏🙏🙏
N importe quoi
When I told this lady that she isn't a southern cameroonian she denied. How can she say "no one can have access to these regions without the military accompanying them"? The population who live there do so on what basis?
She is a liar brother
Leave those nice English speaking Christian people alone!
Ambazonia must be free , stop killing us , stop burning down our houses
God is watching
Pray for cameroon 🇨🇲💯🔜🔝🌍🤲🙏🤔🤲❤
how dictatorships fall; an example
when resentment meets contempt WAR
Fear the coming back of Biafra and Ambazonia we are blood brothers we fight together
Please go and fight. Leave the gullible boys alone.
Continue with your resistance. No one has the right to change someone else culture. People are proud of who they are with their identity which is their culture.
Give cameroon a president from buea or bamenda and see the difference it will make
I was born there Raised there and now i came to the U.S for a safer life
How come they got new guns
Ambazonia you will and forever have my support! Hopefully we (USA) will get involved and tell the weak French to stand down! They need to stop and I will not let this go without notice!
Yesss
Freedom for Biafran too
Thank you for your report, but hope you see for yourself how the situation is going on we thank your team.
Wow, we sing this song in Liberia as well!
it's a yoruba praise song from Nigeria
cameroun have no treaty with southerncameroons,so hav e no legal presence there, its like congo invading its neigbor gabon and vice versa.
Who started the war,
#LRC Cameroon 🇨🇲 military is trained and sponsored by France 🇫🇷 , USA 🇺🇸, Israel 🇮🇱. Cameroon military are stuttering English speaking Southern Cameroons Ambazonians with impunity complete genocide is ongoing and the international community is mute🔇.
Biafra or death freedom is all we ask for from Nigeria
Please we need our freedom or let's be given peace. It's too much, the world has to listen to us not when we are all whipped out. For more than 6yrs, gun shot every day especially all night. I am a victim of this conflict. I have lost more than 10 people in my family. Living in Nigeria in hiding. Please can the world hear our cry 😭😭
Give them referendum
Such a one side reporting. You travel with and interview criminal soldiers under organized and well prepared deceptive circumstances. Poor reporting…can anything good come out of France?
Journalists, In General, Need To Learn To Tell Stories With All Authenticity Bearing In Mind They Are Educating The Public And History Students Globally.
I Can Understand When Those In 3Rd World Nations Compromise Calling A Spade By Its Name Dure To Dictatorial Leaders.
Free Ambarzonia
Nonsense report🙄🙄
Poor information mixed with much pseudo
start now, start small
Biya cannot unite His PEOPLE. He's goat

We have no judgement . enough is enough freedom now . We haven't been schooling for 6 good years today the both north west and south west region . 😥😥😥
Trash report. Also your narrator seems to have something in her mouth. One can barely hear her.
I think Paul biya is up to something that’s not obvious to the world, the marginalization is too much let them go on separate way .... long life ayub
