The rule of law died a long time ago in Cameroon. There is little to expect from a dysfunctional judiciary. The verdict on Sisuku and others follows a well-documented pattern of the miscarriage of justice in Cameroon. it is a bad sign for peace in troubled times
This toddler could have been a fine Dr,Lawyer,Teacher etc @UNICEF burnt young men could have been in school.The terrorist soldiers of LRC Paul Biya declared war on Ambazonians...ONGOING GENOCIDE @Oprah@hrw@innercitypress@washingtonpost@PaulKagame the int comty remain silent ?
The rise in mass atrocities and the impunity that goes with it requires a powerful call by everyone to act boldly to ensure accountability in southern Cameroon. More needs to be done to reverse the depressing state of global impunity for gross human rights violations.
It is disheartening to see the increased militarization of a conflict which has a political solution. I am worried about how this militarization translates to atrocities on civilians in total disregard of human rights and humanitarian law. I pray their suffering can be mitigated
Ongoing GENOCIDE AND ETHNIC CLEANSING IN SOUTHERN CAMEROONS #AMBAZONIA is this the cost civilians have to pay for freedom?@hrw@POTUS@CNN@AJEnglish@PaulKagame@Oprah@Bundestag Hundreds of villages and food stuff burnt schools burnt. Old women tortured raped Help stop @UN now!
it is sad that atrocities are committed in Southern Cameroon on a daily basis without signs of holding perpetrators to account. People are disappeared and killed in blatant disregard of human rights and humanitarian law.
@UNHumanRights@mbachelet An alternative to security council inaction and paralysis needs to be contemplated to save mankind from this scourge of mass atrocities. This inaction emboldens dictators across the world to act similarly. Such as the case of ongoing atrocities in southern Cameroon.
JUST RELEASED: Our summary of the 2019 #UNGA Plenary Meeting on #R2P and mass atrocity prevention. 70 member states and the European Union spoke on behalf of 104 states at this year's meeting. For details on the speakers, themes and more, click below!
The inaction around these atrocities emboldens the perpetrators on a daily basis to further abuse. Calls for peace must be matched with action and not atrocities. It is imperative to deploy a mandate for civilian protection in Southern Cameroon. @GCR2P @Ir2Pwg @ScottMorrisonMP

The last speaker in this year's #UNGA formal #R2P debate, #Nigeria highlights the role of African regional and sub-regional organizations in stepping in to prevent mass atrocity crimes, including @_AfricanUnion and @ecowas_cedeao.
#Civilians in southern Cameroon live in destitute conditions while the assault of the military and kidnappings have not stopped. These people need urgent protection to save lives and prevent further carnage. #R2P@GCR2P@UNHumanRights
It is time to address the root cause to avoid a relapse into conflict or a protracted situation. Half baked solutions at this point will be counterproductive. The toll on civilians is alarming @billshortenmp @ShayneNeumannMP@unenvoy @Ir2Pwg @UNHumanRights@UNGeneva

further escalation can be prevented only through unconditional negotiations which will happen only if trust-building measures are considered by Cameroon while a ceasefire is declared. The call for dialogue needs to be matched by actions and not atrocities. @UNHumanRights@GCR2P
Every single day of this conflict dehumanizes the victims while impunity stands tall over peace and justice. The world must not end in reiterating the need for accountability but must act to save the lives of victims through concrete action. @GCR2P@UNHumanRight@ScottMorrisonMP
@AgborNkonghoF targeted actions which enhance civilian protection must be enforced to mitigate suffering while accountability for atrocities remains compelling in order to stop the ongoing carnage.
