Faced with this barbarity, many voices, including that of Maurice Kamto of the MRC, are calling for the opening of a genuine political dialogue. It is essential to find peaceful and lasting solutions to resolve the tensions and demands of the English-speaking populations of Cameroon. Only inclusive and sincere dialogue will make it possible to build a future of peace and justice for all.
Conclusion :
Guzang’s filmed executions are a stark reminder of the violence that persists in Cameroon’s English-speaking regions.
