US Diplomat, Herman Cohen, says on his twitter account that US ousting of Cameroon from AGOA is a signal.
“The
Biya government must apply negotiated settlement to end Anglophone
crisis soonest”….“By removing Cameroon’s duty-free access to U.S.
markets under AGOA, President Trump has sent a signal to the Biya regime
that increased pressure will be applied if a negotiated settlement to
the insurgency in the Anglophone regions is not reached soon,”Cohen
insists Cameroon must stop rights abuses and extrajudicial killings in
the restive North West and South West regions where kids have not been
to school for three years.“There is no military
solution to the conflict between Paul Biya’s regime in Cameroon, and the
Anglophone separatists at war with it since 2017,” he said. He added
that, “The overwhelming, brutal, and repressive response of Biya’s
security forces has resulted in countless killings, hundreds of
thousands displaced, and a total denial of basic services in the
Anglophone regions,” he rounds off.
