Many people have fled the English-speaking regions of Cameroon as fighting has intensified in the Anglophone regions between security forces and armed groups. Unrest in the country began in November 2016 when English-speaking teachers and lawyers protested against the overbearing use of the French language. Demands were then made by separatists, for the independence of the English-speaking from the French-speaking regions.
