Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the prospects of external mediation of a peace process in Cameroon following the government of Cameroon’s rejection of the government of Canada’s initiative to mediate talks between parties to the current internal conflict.
Answered by Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
Inclusive dialogue is critical to achieving a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the North-West South-West regions of Cameroon. The UK continues to raise this with the Government of Cameroon and to encourage commitment to a peace process. The Minister of State for Development and Africa [Minister Mitchell], met with Cameroon's Minister of Defence in January and the Deputy Foreign Minister in March to press for continued mediation efforts. The UK is also responding to the impacts of the conflict with humanitarian assistance.
