France 🇫🇷 urges restraint in Cameroon's Anglophone crisis

France officially commented on the ongoing political crisis in Cameroon’s English-speaking regions. Paris called on all parties to exercise restraint and to reject violence.

“France is following the situation in Cameroon carefully and is preoccupied by the incidents that took place over the weekend,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Agnes Romatet-Espagne told reporters on Monday.

“We call on all the actors to show restraint and reject violence,” she added. The latest round of violence on Sunday resulted in the loss of eight lives as security forces clashed with protesters.

The casualty figure has since been revised as some activists are reporting that fifteen people had so far died from the clashes of October 1 which has extended to today.
