Anglophone CrisisCameroon · 2017–ongoing“The keepers of the atlas wrote this one down so the fire would not forget it.”It began in late 2016 when Anglophone lawyers refused to argue in courts that worked only in French, and teachers refused to teach in a language their pupils did not own — strikes across Cameroon's North-West and South-West regions.
