Arrest warrants have been issued by officials in Cameroon against leaders of the Anglophone region’s separatist party.
The 15 international arrest warrants have been issued against leaders of the Southern Cameroon National Council (SCNC), according to Cameroon Online.
The leader of the separatist group Sisiku Ayuk Tabe is among those wanted by authorities.
All the leaders currently out of the country are to be arrested and extradited to Cameroon to face trial.
There have been agitations from the people of Cameroon’s English speaking region who have accused the Francophone majority of discrimination.
Their concerns ranges from not getting jobs opportunities and having legal systems in French language imposed on them.
Those claims have been rejected by the government. There has been a crackdown on such dissents as well in the past months with hundreds arrested just over the past four months.
Cameroon was colonised by Germany but was split into British and French areas after World War One.
