On the occasion of the International Day of Political Prisoners - Roll Call for Political Prisoners, Prof @atanga_lilian, our Executive Director took the podium to read the names of political prisoners in Cameroon.
Political prisoners should not exist in 2026.
CDN notes with interest the renewed dialogue initiatives addressing Cameroon’s Anglophone Crisis, while emphasizing that dialogue must go beyond being heard to making a meaningful difference.
The Coalition for Dialogue and Negotiation produces monthly situational report for September-October 2026.
Cameroon Situational Report: Political Alert and Unresolved Governance Crisis.
See link to the full report in the first comment.
ALT This report examines Cameroon’s ongoing political and governance crisis following President Paul Biya’s return after a 73-day absence. It highlights unresolved succession and constitutional concerns, contested electoral legitimacy, armed conflict, rising insecurity, and continuing humanitarian and education challenges in the Anglophone regions.

Many of Cameroon’s challenges cannot be solved through confrontation alone.
Progress requires dialogue, negotiation, and inclusive engagement between citizens and institutions.
Dialogue is strategy.

Protracted crises across Africa are not just political disruptions they are economic setbacks. Instability is expensive; and the bill is paid in lost growth, lost jobs, and lost opportunity.

Every prolonged crisis weakens investor confidence. When uncertainty rises, capital retreats. When capital retreats, job creation slows. When jobs slow, frustration grows.
Stability is not abstract; it directly shapes economic outcomes.

Stability is not a luxury. It is an economic strategy. The longer the crisis persists, the longer development is delayed. How much growth are we sacrificing to unresolved tensions?

Feb 14, 2020: at least 21 civilians, including 13 children, were killed in Ngarbuh, Cameroon. Six years on, we remember, stand with survivors, and call for justice. Accountability matters. #NgarbuhMassacre #Cameroon #HumanRights
