In memory of the victims of the Ngarbuh Massacre – one year on 

The conflict in Anglophone Cameroon has been the most neglected humanitarian crisis in the  world for two consecutive years (Norwegian Refugee Council 2019, 2020). In recognition of  the levels of violence, the US Senate has unanimously passed Resolution 684 (S. Res. 684). In  the Resolution, the US Senate calls for an end to all violence, respect for the human rights of  all Cameroonians, and the pursuit of a genuinely inclusive dialogue with a credible third party  toward resolving the ongoing civil conflict in Anglophone Cameroon. 

We invite you to join us to discuss the implications of S. Res. 684 and next steps the  international community should take to resolve the root causes of the conflict and secure the  restoration of peace.
