Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs' estimate that 160,000 Anglophone Cameroonians have crossed the border with Nigeria seeking refuge since 2016.
This question was answered on 29th May 2018
Our assessment, which draws on data from The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), is that 21,291 refugees from Cameroon have been registered in Nigeria since 2016 as a result of the Anglophone Cameroonian crisis. We are concerned about the situation in Cameroon and continue to monitor the situation carefully.
