The United States and Cameroon have agreed on how to stop the more than two years of bloodshed in restive Anglophone regions, the Ministry of External Affairs in Cameroon said in a statement on Tuesday without giving details. It added that they also discussed the crisis in the North-West and South-West regions and “welcomed their convergence of views in this area”. The Anglophone crisis started in late 2016 by lawyers and teachers in Cameroon’s English speaking regions who were demanding equity and justice. Since then, it has been bloodshed after bloodshed with atrocities being committed by both sides as the world looks on. Attendees, it was learned, discussed how their exchange experiences inspired them to be leaders in business, civil society, and government.
