Cameroon government says it never authorized Canada peace talks

Cameroon government says it never authorized Canada peace talksOTTAWA — Cameroon's state-affiliated newspaper says the country's government never authorized Canada to lead peace talks aimed at ending an escalating conflict in the west-central African country. Ottawa announced last Friday that it has been hosting talks with the government of Cameroon and various factions to come up with a peace process for a political resolution to the crisis. Yet the country’s state-affiliated newspaper, the Cameroon Tribune, said the government had mandated "no external mediator" for negotiations to end the conflict.
