Question to the Department for International Development:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the impact of disturbances in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon on the development of that country.

The disturbances in the Anglophone region were the focus of conversations between the Foreign Secretary and the Cameroonian Prime Minister Yang at the recent Commonwealth Conference, and the Minister for Africa’s visit in February, where she visited the Anglophone region. There is currently no official assessment of the longer-term development impact of unrest in the Anglophone region but the UN have registered 21,291 refugees in Nigeria and estimate there are 150,000 internally displaced people.
