MSF forced to reduce operations in Cameroon’s North-West

Focus on Africa

Available for over a year

The NGO Medecins Sans Frontieres has decided to pull most staff out of Cameroon’s North-West region, after failing to reach an agreement to end a suspension of activities imposed by the government last year. Around 3,000 people have been killed and a million more have fled their homes in the English-speaking regions, where armed separatist groups have been fighting a bloody conflict with the military. Scott Hamilton from MSF tells Focus on Africa what the news means. (Photo: A funeral for soldiers killed in Cameroon’s anglophone regions; Credit: Getty Images)
