Analysing Cameroon politics with Dabney Yerima

Life in Cameroon's two English-speaking provinces has been brought to a standstill by three years of conflict, which has cost about 3 000 lives and forced 500 000 from their homes. The dispute had been simmering for decades but boiled over in 2016 when teachers and lawyers started to protest against the use of French in schools and courts. The government in the majority French-speaking country responded with lethal force, provoking rebels to declare independence for the region they call "Ambazonia", which in turn led to an even stronger military crackdown. In an attempt to end the crisis, President Paul Biya called for talks, dubbed the National Dialogue.
Joining me in studio to tell us more about the political crisis and the dialogue process is vice president of Ambazonia, Dabney Yerima.
