"The Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon and the Plight of Cameroonian Migrants" was an Africa Track workshop offered at the "Ecumenical Advocacy Days 2022: Fierce Urgency Advancing Civil and Human Rights" held on April 26, 2022. 

Workshop Summary: The “Anglophone conflict” has devastated Cameroon for over 6 years and has killed at least 4,000 people and displaced more than 700,000. Education for more than a million children has been disrupted and the once vibrant economy has stalled. Violence and atrocities by both the army and the insurgents continue. And, Cameroonians fleeing the conflict have been treated as criminals in the U.S. and repatriated to dangerous circumstances. Join this workshop to learn more about the human rights situation in Cameroon, the plight of Cameroonian asylum seekers in the US, and what you can do to help.
