Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with the governments of (1) France, and (2) the United States of America, the councils of the United Nations, and the Commonwealth about recent developments relating to attempts to end the crisis in Cameroon.

​The UK continues to discuss the crisis in the North-West and South-West regions of Cameroon with international partners including France and the United States, and in multilateral fora including the United Nations (UN) and the Commonwealth. During a briefing on conflict prevention at the UN Security Council on 7 October, the UK welcomed the National Dialogue that took place in Cameroon from 30 September – 4 October as an initial step to bring parties together to work towards peace. Inclusive discussion about the root causes of grievances in Cameroon is urgently needed, and all parties must take action to address these grievances. The UK remains ready to support, and urges the international community, including regional bodies, to engage in efforts to end the crisis.
