The Canadian government has commended the peace moves in the conflict-torn Anglophone North-West and South-West regions of Cameroon.
The Canadian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mélanie Joly, in a statement issued on Friday, welcomes the agreement by the parties to enter a process to reach a comprehensive, peaceful and political resolution of the conflict, noting that the parties have agreed to form technical committees to begin work on confidence-building measures.
The statement, released by Global Affairs Canada, partly read, “Civilians are bearing the brunt of the ongoing crisis in Cameroon, with more than 6,000 people having lost their lives since 2017. In addition, nearly 800,000 people have been displaced as a result of this crisis, and 600,000 children do not have full access to education.
“The agreement to enter a formal process is a critical first step toward peace and a safer, more inclusive and prosperous future for civilians affected by the conflict.
