I call upon the government of Cameroon to hold accountable those who perpetrated this callous murder. I am concerned with the deteriorating human rights situation in the English-speaking portion of the Republic of Cameroon which the Africa Subcommittee addressed in a June hearing and call upon President Paul Biya to implement reforms that protect the rights of all Cameroonian citizens, including those from the Anglophone minority. f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
