Question 11195 — foreign policy

Summary

Mr. Pierre Pribetich questions the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs on the situation in Cameroon. Cameroon, led for more than forty years by President Paul Biya – now 92 years old and the oldest elected head of state in office – is characterized by great ethnic, linguistic and religious diversity, with more than 260 languages ​​and as many ethnic groups. This mosaic is based on a highly centralized political balance around the president, in a context marked by an aging ruling class, an unstructured civil society and limited political opposition. This situation raises concerns about the future stability of the country. Territorially, the English-speaking regions of the North West and South West are in the grip of a conflict pitting government forces against separatist groups, who are demanding the creation of a state. independent called “Ambazonia”. This conflict has already generated a serious humanitarian crisis, with numerous victims, massive population displacements and proven human rights violations. While national unity seems to depend on maintaining the current balance, the question of President Biya's succession poses a risk of political and territorial implosion. Under these conditions, he asks him to clarify the analysis and France's perception of the risks of future crises, in particular that of a partition of the country, as well as the diplomatic initiatives planned to prevent or anticipate these scenarios.
