Background:

The Ambazonia movement has its roots in the 1960s, when Cameroon gained independence from France and Germany. The English-speaking regions of the country, which were previously British colonies, have long felt marginalized and excluded from power. In 2016, a series of protests and demonstrations in the English-speaking regions were met with violence by government forces, leading to the escalation of the conflict.
