During the 40 Human Rights Council session on Monday, the Minister of
External Relations Lejeune Mbella Mbella said the Government of
Cameroon still had full control of the situation in the two troubled
regions.
He stressed that Cameroon soldiers have been very professional in
carrying out their duties in these two regions. Alleged cases of rights
violation in the Anglophone regions are under serious investgations and
those under custody will be punished if found guilty, Lejeune Mbella
Mbella said.
He said the creation of the Disarmament Committee is one of the major steps taken by the government to resolve the crisis.
He equally pointed out to the creation of the National Commission for
the Promotion of Bilingualism and Multiculturalism as well as the
decision to free 289 persons detained in connection to the crisis as a
major step taken by the govrnment to solve the crisis.
Cameroon’s admission in the Human Rights Council has spurred up
debate within various circles as the country faces scathing criticisms
on its handling of the crisis in the North West and South West regions
of the country.
Several reports on human rights violation by Cameroon soldiers in the
two regions recently forced the United States of America to reduce its
military aid to the country while Amnesty international has called on
other partners to sever ties with the Central African nation.
