        Yes the French Cameroon forces have pushed English-speaking Southern Cameroonians to the wall after rapings, killings, burnings and looting, typical signs of genocide the world have turned blind eyes to. After all it is a black on black violence.

        If you are black, then you possibly lack conflict resolution skills.

        This is ethnic cleansing going on in Cameroon and nobody seems to be talking about it. The communication minister said they are investigating, any similarity with Nigeria? Even looks like a script written by Lai.

        because they did as an inclusive National Side and gave the people reason to gather around a common goal, that´s why I think this is f*cking crazy that approx 17 months later they find themselves on the brink of a Civil War...

        Has their been a day in the past 20 year that there was not some type of fight of violence? We may have to go back farther than that.

        Biafra and Ambazonia of Southern Cameroon need to unite and become Christian Republic of Biambazonia. That's the hope for a better tomorrow. We do not have any commonality with the oppressors.

        It's not a fight for religion ,rather a fight by a nation against another. It is the rights of the people
