<p>We are aware of conflicting reports of the circumstances surrounding Father Ondari's
tragic death, including reports he was killed in a cross-fire between government forces
and separatist fighters, as well as allegations that he was killed by Cameroonian
security forces . The Cameroonian government have denied responsibility and have launched
an investigation. It is vital that a swift and credible investigation establishes
the facts. I made a statement following the elections in Cameroon, calling for all
parties to engage in a peaceful and structured process leading to constitutional reforms,
as previously set out by the President, and to bring an end to the violence. Father
Ondari's tragic death reinforces the urgent and imperative need to tackle the underlying
issues in the Anglophone regions. The UK continues to work alongside the international
community to encourage and support efforts to resolve the Anglophone crisis to achieve
long-term stability in the region.</p>
