Cameroonian: Francophone Administration and English-Speaking Minorities

cameroonian: The Brampton IT analyst has kept a low profile and worked hard to establish himself in his adopted country, and did not picture himself hoisting protest signs in public, until recently, according to Toronto Star. As unrest deepens in his homeland amid rising tension between Cameroon's English-speaking minorities and the governing francophone administration, Asah and his fellow Cameroonian Canadians have come together to plead with their compatriots for peace and calm. SOUTHERN CAMEROONIAN TORONTO By Nicholas Keung Immigration reporter Sun., Jan. 22, 2017 Like other newcomers to Canada, Cameroonian Hippolyte Asah came here eight years ago for a better future. Since November, members of the young but growing community mostly anglophone in Ontario and francophone in Quebec have staged small rallies in Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa and Montreal, hoping to draw attention to the worsening conflict under the regime of President Paul Biya, who has been in power for 35 years. The marginalization of the anglophone people has caused so much civil disturbances, said Asah, 42, father of a boy and two girls, and one of the organizers in the community that numbers about 6,500 in the country, according to Statistics Canada. The situation in Cameroon is getting worse by the day. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
