<p>The UK remains deeply concerned at the worsening situation in the North-West and
South-West (Anglophone) regions of Cameroon and reports of human rights violations
and abuses. Violence is driving people from their homes and impacting on the lives
of ordinary civilians, particularly women and children. The UK is providing lifesaving
assistance to thousands of people following a £2.5m contribution in December 2018
to the UN emergency appeal to address the crisis. We continue to call on the Government
of Cameroon to take urgent action, with the support of regional partners and the wider
international community, to prevent further deterioration, including the establishment
of a credible political dialogue to address the root causes of the conflict. The British
Government regularly raises concerns about Cameroon at the highest levels including
at UN Security Council on 4 June and when I met with Cameroon's High Commissioner
to the UK on 30 April. The UK continues to call for unhindered humanitarian access
to affected populations, an end to violence and investigations into all reports of
human rights violations and abuses.</p>
