| US diplomat wants UN to mediate in Cameroon crisis |
Former United States Assistant Secretary of State for
African Affairs, Herman J. Cohen has called for a UN-backed mediator to be
appointed to solve the crisis in the North West and South West Regions.
Ambasssador Cohen justifies his proposal by the fact that
the long drawn conflict is far from ending and will produce no winner. He has
thus urged the African Union to request the Union Security Council to appoint a
special representative for mediation
“In
Cameroon, it is clear that neither side can win on the battlefield. The time
has come for the African Union to ask the U.N. Security Council to appoint a
special representative to begin a mediation process,” Herman J. Cohen tweeted.
The
conflict in Cameroon’s English-speaking regions has led to over 3.000 deaths
and more than 500.000 persons internally displaced according to UN figures.
