Cameroon – Violence has resumed across Cameroon’s English-speaking regions just weeks after Pope Leo XIV’s historic visit to the country briefly raised hopes for renewed peace efforts in the long-running Ambazonia conflict. The pope’s April 2026 trip to Bamenda, the heart of Cameroon’s conflict-ridden Northwest Region, triggered an unusual pause in fighting after separatist factions announced a temporary ceasefire to allow civilians and pilgrims to move freely during the papal visit. The truce enabled thousands to travel for peace gatherings and public Masses without the fear of gunfire or roadblocks that have defined daily life in much of the region…

Mali – Islamist fighters linked to al-Qaida killed dozens of civilians in coordinated attacks on villages in central Mali this week, intensifying fears over worsening insecurity and deepening humanitarian suffering across the Sahel region.

WASHINGTON, D.C. In a powerful move that underscores the gravity of Cameroon’s ongoing conflict, the U.S. House of Representatives on Monday, May 5th, introduced a resolution calling on the Department of Homeland Security to establish a Special Humanitarian Parole program for Cameroonian nationals fleeing violence and persecution. The resolution, introduced amid intensifying concerns about the expiration of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Cameroonians, exposes a constellation of overlapping armed conflicts, state violence, and systemic discrimination faced by Cameroonian immigrants at home and abroad. The resolution comes just a week after the Interim Government of Ambazonia, led by Chris Anu, formally…

WASHINGTON — A group of U.S. lawmakers is urging President Donald Trump to extend humanitarian protections for Cameroonian nationals living in the United States, citing ongoing violence, human rights violations, and a deepening humanitarian crisis in the central African nation. In a letter dated April 4, 2025, members of Congress called on the Trump administration to redesignate and extend Cameroon’s Temporary Protected Status (TPS), which shields nationals from deportation and allows them to remain and work legally in the U.S. The lawmakers argue that conditions in Cameroon remain dire, posing a “severe risk” to returning citizens and making the continuation…

KHARTOUM, Sudan — Sudan has initiated legal proceedings against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), alleging that the Gulf nation violated the Genocide Convention by arming and financing the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary group accused of committing atrocities in the Darfur region.
