        This is just the tip of the iceberg. What's happening now in southern cameroon is truly horrific. Entire villages have been razed to the ground with elderly people inside. Scores have been killed and yet the @un stays loudly silent. #GENOCIDEINSOUTHERNCAMEROONS is realpic.twitter.com/4HZTlFwzEm

        @tedlieu @SecPompeo USA abdication of being the defender of human rights leads to this. I support the use of your power to vanquish these types of atrocities. When you denigrate ICC, withdraw from Human Rights Commission you fail the world. Genocide is taking place in Cameroon

        How much blood has to flow before the world says enough is enough. Is the world now run by vampires who feast on blood? Even vampires at some point get saturated with the amount of blood they consume. Therefore these guys are worst than vampires. @EmilyThornberry @jeremycorbynpic.twitter.com/Bs2Ri2Wzs7
