Hes in the u. S. City of columbia maryland kawawa is president of the Cameroon Peoples Party she joins us from dualla and in london we have eric hes executive director of the Africa Policy Forum hello yes im just going to ask you this straight out i am just looking to see what is happening in cameroon right now karl i am just seeing a civil war can i call it a civil war. I dont think we can quite call it a civil war. I think. We have. People a significant people 20 percent of the population. Has been marginalized for the last 60 years. That sentiment marginalize issues is general however is that 20 percent of the people there we are very small minority have decided to take up arms. To fight for their rights the majority of. Do not agree with them right i think there is a. Marginal rise that we have to all this problem but for those of us who live in cameroon an overwhelming majority do not believe in the use of by. Right right. And yet 3000 people have been killed since 2017 and thats probably quite a conservative estimate i want you to hear because he said this is not a civil war these are a few people fighting each other i want you to hear a witness who saw what happened at the school in combat and then a parent of a child who was murdered is have a lesson. Those shooting with a lot of guys who are. The worst was when they came with the bodies most so to know where they had. And is that they shoot in here where i never knew they were killing people here so were on the run away before were were running a we saw dead bodies lying here some. Even. Used to be really yesterday i carried ronnie i told ronnie please dont disappoint him die and she said father i will not disappoint you i had so much hope for any so much hope and now shes gone i know she struggled to live if she didnt battle for a life she would have died immediately when she was shot but she battled for her life for better for the moment so edwin no parent wants to ever bury their child in those particular circumstances its horrific when you heard about School Children being murdered what was your reaction. I dont consider what is going chemical right now as a consequence of defeat hero by the United Nations to implementing results of the 961 place inside you see we cannot be skirting around the edges of the problem this chemical is arguably a failed state by meanwhile experiment which unfortunately r. Y. Our parents to in good faith in the brotherhood of prime afrikaners them has just declared it has failed and looking for the permanent solution. I think what is important is a walk or a process is addresses problems based on those parts of lived and affected real people those children died because cameron is trying to make an experiment in merging 2 incompatible systems it cant work lets just put on them by exit which is the equivalent to breaks that just happen in the United Kingdom where youre by the union on a lot of the auspices of the marxist treaty everybody in europe or you know any of the conscious unit from kind of the czar of what time to leave the United Kingdom have led by you know so anyway and they will probably go for months i dont we just we just heard we just heard that parent grieving over his child and you go back to a parasite so that was your 1st reaction your thinking 161 policy asking about the same thing so youre thinking politics your no i see that irony and whats that whats the hash tag right now cameroon explaining ok the cameras are cameron is pretty youre going back to 961 of us are as pointed out was your 1st feeling that was just that was your 1st feeling that was and everybody has that let me just bring it let me just got there because i wanted eric and i cant have there are enough permanent solution and i think thats what you thought you saw the dad you saw everything going on in the news so and you thought 961 at. I think and i think this is the problem we have a political problem in cameroon back to clear an anglophone as we feel marginalized and look forms we do not have the same unanimous opinion on the solution sean want to separate and go into about sort of your call for me something i want to run some i want to state that we believe in the family room and have a federal solution and some even want to stay in the unitary state as it is why are we killing children over this. I would like we want those of us who live in cameroon we want mr edwin van and everything that ambrose only and who to keep clear that they are going to stop their troops from attacking children in schools so we know why arent you kind of really problematic one car me tell you know weve got your board yet we dont want them to be clear im for a moment ive never had to kill time so early in the show before quitting time doesnt exist for a moment having arms i want to guess get it done to get out of hope one day for a crime carrying out a whole you know not just bringing the sound down a little bit car listen to me just for just for a moment i do want everybody to hear your your your your point that youre making i want to bring in eric cantor eric carr post a really good question the International Community asked stream viewers want to know why our children being killed in cameroon can you explain why you think you know. Theres a big when youre sure you are getting by on the. Big bucks well finally while listening to my 2. Colleagues talking. Before i even answer the question which you are asking i want to take this opportunity to extend my sincere condolences to the families the concert that the children slaughtered. In the most horrific way which one can imagine now having said that. There is no justification what. There is no justification that would. Allow. Children who wants to scottie children who. Had to get educated be slaughtered in the classroom that is one aspect about who is behind what we saw income for is another question which we have the year for the next couple of hours are not really get that answer because we are dealing here with the situation doctors are green well you know you didnt know was not a solution least we should stop politicizing this problem but it is probably missing the shed with every if i misunderstood me if i missed finish im not politicize the situation because i understand this group i own the and this government so well and reason why i am saying we should not be qualifying or pointing fingers at the moment as something pointing saying that. Knowing his regime knew what the capable of doing they shouldnt be thinking of the red also being called many of those of the kind that said my consent im calling you i dont do something if youre allowed me to defy a little bit with them but im carla on this aspect of whether we. Are walking come she get a different answer which artistic opinion but. Or anyone will be all in obvious conflict all are great but there is no or there are not after the military that can qualify what we have seen come out of other than the war people are good think you we your gun shop where dog uncover your gunshot every morning that might work and go on about their normally because you dont encounter the military on the street or the fight so there is a war going on and well i think you are right that is why that is why i was really looking at this and saying this is got to be a civil war but what is more important is what is happening to civilians to women to children for civilians who are not fighting at all so we spoke to Human Rights Watch in italy and they just listed they listed the atrocities that every day issues that people in cameroon were having to deal with having this crisis in young regions of commit one has had the devastating impact on civilians hundreds of thousands have been displaced because of the violence forced to flee their homes and are currently living in particularly our conditions in the bush lacking access to basic services such as what to afford an education and care and the majority of those internet he displaced are women and children civilians have been directly targeted by bored parties to these crises to Government Forces and separatists fighters theyve been killed how rust has faulted i dont i know you are really focused on how do we get out of this situation as is. I would say the majority of people coming catherine is watching you on your chin fright now caffein says the United Nations cannot solve camerons problems edwin who can solve camerons proppants what what ids do you have for where do you go from here where innocent children are being slaughtered at school now what just come on day we have a problem which clearly come to solved by the commission of the farce of of the kids we are a sovereign people will have recall about sovereignty as reported on those on how we came into this union with the 1st begin people and it hasnt worked so United Mission has president s already been in the issue in 94 and so in pakistan. Did the pashmina you know and aussies let template for how you can solve a problem by invoking the articles of applied we asked we have the article some 6 b. Having been implemented. And left on implement that and we are only asking now that seems these 2 people come out of the lead to leave because the systems are being hairy gay that is is that we get incompatible let your answer is received referendum just as it happened for the United Kingdom people who breaks the people known as you as it can separate say breck say is an economic facts it was an Economic Situation i think you know if youre going to use an analogy scotland breaking away all of voting to break away from you cannot a kingdom is a more apt analogy not an Economic Community are using it because of this back you have it in march treaty we are no longer going to be led astray by politicking which is always why all of this kind of bias is all come across the oceans sinks i think best i think its only just and there i was being given a criminal solution so one man only ever laughs arre but our life that i. John. You really. Are martin who for her own room knows what form is new for her im. Working from a random while that may or may not be generous enough and share the conversation ca go ahead yes i think that. The position that some people have that the only solution to the marginalization they have experienced over the last 6 years is separation is a legitimate political position to have and i think that i respect i dont agree with their position but i respect it when you asked earlier whether this was a civil war definitely we are in a war situation i said no to the civil war because i dont want to tell you dont answer to you dont have to go back to a conversation that you already had micahs you already you ready put your position very clearly but what i do want to push i want to push on with i want to push on the cop because i was were going to go round in circles we dont have time for i want to push on with this idea about speaking to the government because this is not yet separatist groups. Yet took tanking to talking to themselves like how do you speak to the government if were honest talking about the. Breakaway and the separatists are fighting now what do you do it can lead to a cease fire out. Yes right now we being on the ground we have requests to the government who is the primary person responsible and we ask that the government initiate cease fire that the government. Release all the prison thats because of the unjust and arbitrary arrests which have taken place over the last 4 years after you willing the sentiment of in justice we ask that the government create the conditions for dialogue because only if we have conditions where every opinion can come to the table and dialogue some good ill say to you if i may just interject just for a moment i we did ask the government if they would be part of this conversation they said they were on the vailable a bay all talking edwin to some some parts of the separatists groups and a problem i am having an actual problem you are having is that there are so many different separatist groups and there are people who havent infiltrated the separatist groups so how do you come to any sense of peace well right now we understand under both our government or whatever. But i would say that its part of our as im sure you can run has visited our revolution but we know how to tackle this and a simple kind of growth rates the measure of legalities of the problem if we go on deconstruct how this English Speaking people came to be associated with this friendship if you could where the solution is apparent and i like the challenge of democracy because kind of only a legit democrat see the reason why you havent seen any opposition in the law to become a world they have had 2 president s since 1000 succeed is because they are hostile sit it Democratic Change with the independence of a simple less not be skirting around im pretending francophones y. Y. Had to have been killing the english to get people because they are afraid to support cos fearful that their plantation is going to leave but im asking that for the permanent solution to the letter on the stand that we have hauled for an exclusive or a front room we know that this is being debated by the United Kingdom house of. Our. Internet is kind to me because i needed a pause in the internet gave me 100 ill come back to you a lot i lost your audio for a moment but i do i want to bring in a another thought and another idea from another cameroonian which is that edwin is in the United States right now hes not in cameroon but in cameroon some of the people that we reach out to said its even difficult to talk politics how do you have that conversation right now its a really difficult situation for that to happen have a listen. To morris is coming has moved. Of the country. Or our 1st things political. Will is going to be just for a few. People of one priest with more than one struggling to adopt. Or right. Of the countries that is the the improved balances are those events which. For. Eric im wondering if just going back to this one incident with the School Children they have been so many is this now a Tipping Point for the government having to talk to people there is going to be the government suggested Regional Elections is that a way to maybe share power with English Speaking cameroonians is there something in there that youre saying might be like a sliver of potential for a cease fire to happen. Not taught. What were seeing in congress. Its from their political become one government has the playbook and they are good im surprised when i am i dont call us saying that they are spoken to the government they have requested them to do the requested him to do that those he says change us to the government become one government is not one that listen they do things the way they want to go that. What happened to me is the Tipping Point for the International Community to stand up the need to clear were not loosing theyre not going to come i dont think that the government is not willing to resolve this problem and therefore we are going to step off the pressure that is what is required in kind of the Regional Elections but dont forget what we are talking about here is something that came up since 1906 because of the promise in 99 to 6 years original confirmation why are they are printing now is it because of the conflict or just because they want or whitewash a lot of war and mislead the International Community of the order and they dont listening a good thing according to the playbook for the International Community most of this point and its not something for coming to do you know a lot of its gone past that stage that we need an independent an independent maybe i thought there and help with thought of this problem it can build there for comfort a lot is going by that there is no theres no question that the international. The International Community should step up pressure we have been asking the International Community to step up pressure for the last 4 years and that does not mean that we in cameroon stop demanding from Government Action we we are out the front line here and we want to keep demanding from brabant that we get an end to this conflict until we get it and at the same time we are asking for government to what we are asking government to end because these crises we are also asking that and thats only an movement to to put an end. To the killing and to tell us i agree with you 100 percent that i would not dare to say this question who who who carried out the killing in combat these people who carried out the kidnappings in all the incidents in libya this morning however we would love to have the end by some young groups caught out in public and seeing when he would never cause harm to our crew there is no right who causes harm to children and claim himself call myself old that i am but only on men can we im not a party to the cause we knew the fighting to end to go to a political solution i want to leave the last thought in a conversation with a doctor who went to combat saw some of the wounded children and saw how the children. Just over a week ago i think it just concentrates everybodys minds on why we need a piece addition some desperately encountering have a listen. Cause its going to be me because i go to see this kids with somebody we called moving about so we talked about these this because from the c. D. C. That. Saw the injuries there is. Nothing is. Said to this. Is. Moving about and just go with the he. Was. I will say thank you to edwin and carr who have been on the stream before every time we talk to edwin in car talk about cameroon and were talking about war issues in cameroon always file out ones unfortunately eric thank you for bringing your analysis is a really difficult issue right now i appreciate everybody who is on you tube helping us understand it a lot more thank you guests thank you chivas i will see you next time thanks for watching everybody.
