Recently, he has expressed his views on the happenings in the North West and South West Regions while clearly stating that a military option can never resolve the problem but dialogue. below are some of his tweets.

“Does anyone doubt the poor child killed in Cameroon by a gendarme was shot because they refused to pay 500 CFA road bribe? Anyone on the roads of Cameroon comes across “gate power” stops with great frequency. Shame on a Govt where corruption flows from all levels and kills!”

“France has been a strong supporter of Francophone rights for Quebec in Canada – Prez De Gaulle even declaring “Vive le Quebec Libre!” How about equal support for Anglophone rights in Cameroon?! What’s the difference in human terms?“

“We all know how Southern Cameroon crisis will end. Anglophones will gain their rights–either in a genuine Federation or a break away state. Whether weeks, months, years, or decades – it will come. Human spirit– like the Lions–is indomitable! Cam Govt should come to its senses.“

“Cameroon’s Anglophone crisis is 5 yrs old–but the fundamental problem goes back to colonialism. Can’t understand why France doesn’t see its long term interest is in helping the Anglophones gain their rights rather than supporting Yaoundé’s scorched earth policy which can’t win!”

“So sorry to see increased violence in Cameroon Anglophone conflict. I’ve warned for years that if not resolved conflict will get deadlier and spread. There is no military solution. What’s in the human spirit cannot be extinguished with force.”
