This COI Focus describes the current security situation in two regions of Cameroon, Northwest Region and Southwest Region, which have been rocked since October 2016 by what observers call the “Anglophone crisis”. This term refers to a protest movement of the English-speaking population, which over time turned into an insurrectional situation. Some radical secessionist groups and armed groups resorted to violent action, provoking repressive measures from the military. This COI Focus updates the COI Focus of 23 April 2018 entitled La crise anglophone and examines more particularly the evolution of the situation between April 2018 and September 2019. Documentary research was closed on 16 September 2019.
