Nejenže v tomto státě panuje napětí mezi opozičními stranami a prezidentem vládnoucím již 38 let, v rámci jeho nejsevernějšího regionu přetrvává ohrožení ze strany nigerijské skupiny Boko Haram a bezpečné nejsou ani jeho hranice se Středoafrickou republikou. Hlavní hrozbu pro samotnou existenci státu však představuje již čtyři roky trvající ozbrojený konflikt mezi kamerunskou vládou a povstaleckými skupinami, které se snaží o odtržení dvou anglofonních regionů země a vytvoření nezávislého státu s názvem Ambazonia. Tento konflikt si dosud vyžádal přes 3000 obětí a zapříčinil vážnou humanitární krizi v rámci anglofonní části země, kdy jsou na vnější pomoci závislé více jak 2 miliony obyvatel (OCHA, 2020: 18), 679 000 anglofonních Kameruňanů má status vnitřně vysídlené osoby (UNHRC, 2020) a 52 000 kamerunských uprchlíků je registrováno v sousední Nigérii (OCHA, 2020: 12) Nestabilita Kamerunu, který hraje stěžejní roli při zajišťování bezpečnosti Guinejského zálivu a představuje klíčovou transportní zemi pro sousední státy ve vnitrozemí, může mít velice negativní dopad na již tak závažnou situaci celého regionu (ICG, 2010a: 1). Boj na dvou frontách oslabuje kamerunské ozbrojené složky, jež jsou zásadním spojencem Nigérie a USA při potlačení Boko Haram, a příliv uprchlíků do příhraničních regionů sousedních zemí narušuje jejich vnitřní bezpečnost. Tato bakalářská práce v následujícím textu analyzuje kamerunský secesionistický konflikt, jenž se svými závažnými důsledky představuje velmi relevantní a aktuální téma, které doposud nebylo v českém prostředí podrobněji zpracováno. Pro účely analýzy je využit konceptuální rámec Setha G. Jonese, jehož aplikací na vybranou případovou studii bude dosaženo výzkumných cílů, mezi něž patří 1) identifikace faktorů vedoucí ke vzniku konfliktu; 2) nalezení znaků vykazovaných povstaleckými skupinami; a také 3) znaků vykazovaných proti-povstaleckou strategií. V teoretické části dochází k osvětlení metodologie, která je v práci použita; konceptualizaci stěžejních pojmů, a sice anglického termínu insurgency a vymezení zásadních rozdílů mezi separatismem, secesionismem a iredentismem; a představení analytického rámce. V praktické části práce je poté využit zmíněný analytický přístup, 1 kdy se první kapitola zabývá příčinami konfliktu souvisejícími s problematikou polarizace kamerunské společnosti, mimo jiné v kulturních liniích, špatnou socio- ekonomickou situací secesionistického regionu, přítomnosti celé řady vzácných surovin či slabými institucemi v rámci státu jako celku. Následující část práce stručně pojednává o separatistických a secesionistických požadavcích anglofonního odboje, příčinách

    Country Policy and Information Note Cameroon: Anglophones Version 1.0 March 2020 Preface Purpose This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the Introduction section). It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment of, in general, whether one or more of the following applies: • A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm • The general humanitarian situation is so severe as to breach Article 15(b) of European Council Directive 2004/83/EC (the Qualification Directive) / Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iii) of the Immigration Rules • The security situation presents a real risk to a civilian’s life or person such that it would breach Article 15(c) of the Qualification Directive as transposed in paragraph 339C and 339CA(iv) of the Immigration Rules • A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) • A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory • A claim is likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and • If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.

  • Cartography of the War in Southern Cameroons Ambazonia 
    Failed Decolonization of Africa and the Rise of New States: Cartography of the War in Southern Cameroons Ambazonia Roland Ngwatung Afungang* pp. 53-75 Introduction From the 1870s to the 1900s, many European countries invaded Africa and colonized almost the entire continent except Liberia and Ethiopia. African kingdoms at the time fought deadly battles with the imperialists but failed to stop them. The invaders went on and occupied Africa, an occupation that lasted up to the 1980s. After World War II, the United Nations (UN) resolution 1514 of 14 December 1960 (UN Resolution 1415 (1960), accessed on 13 Feb. 2019) obliged the colonial powers to grant independence to colonized peoples and between 1957 and 1970, over 90 percent of African countries got independence. However, decolonization was not complete as some colonial powers refused to adhere to all the provisions of the above UN resolution. For example, the Portuguese refused to grant independence to its African colonies (e.g. Angola and Mozambique). The French on their part granted conditional independence to their colonies by maintaining significant ties and control through the France-Afrique accord (an agreement signed between France and its colonies in Africa). The France-Afrique accord led to the creation of the Franc CFA, a currency produced and managed by the French treasury and used by fourteen African countries (African Business, 2012). CFA is the acronym for “Communauté Financière Africaine” which in English stands for “African Financial Community”. Other colonial powers violated the resolution by granting independence to their colonies under a merger agreement. This was the case of former British Southern Cameroons and Republic of Cameroon, South Sudan and Republic of Sudan, Eritrea and Ethiopia, Senegal and Gambia (Senegambia Confederation, 1982-1989).
