Over 6,000 dead, over half a million people on the run! Why are the world's leaders not taking action against the brutal civil war in Cameroon? Why is there no commitment to peace?

With atrocities on both sides and millions in urgent need of humanitarian aid, this is one of Africa's deadliest ongoing conflicts. And yet it remains hidden from the world. Could more awareness create change? Watch the video now to understand why this crisis matters.

Why has the world overlooked the brutal civil war in Cameroon? For almost a decade, a violent conflict between English-speaking separatists and the French-speaking central government has been raging, leaving over 6,000 dead and over half a million people displaced. Despite its devastating impact, the war has received little attention in the international media and there has been little political intervention. Unlike conflicts in Ukraine or the Middle East, the crisis in Cameroon is not of global strategic interest, which is why it is largely ignored by major powers and Western media. But why has this war been forgotten? And would a peaceful solution be possible with more attention and international pressure?

 In this video, we explore the deep historical roots of the Anglophone crisis, from colonial divisions under British and French rule to the modern struggle for autonomy. We also examine the role of geopolitical interests, media bias and state repression that have pushed this war out of the global spotlight. With atrocities committed by both sides and millions in urgent need of humanitarian assistance, this is one of Africa's deadliest ongoing conflicts. And yet it remains hidden from the world. Could more awareness create change? Watch the video now to understand why this crisis matters.
