| 1 | Cameroon is experiencing an internally displaced persons crisis |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Cameroon currently has over 700,000 internally displaced persons as of 2023 |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Although there are many reasons for this issue, the main issue is that of the Anglophone crisis |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The Anglophone crisis is a civil war in Cameroon between English speakers in the north and French |
| 8 | speakers in the West. |
| 9 | |
| 10 | The English Separatists are protesting the French government because of the marginalization of |
| 11 | english speakers in schools along with the recently intensified prosecution of the members of the |
| 12 | LGBT |
| 13 | |
| 14 | Along with this the government has also responded to these protests by killing over 6000 people |
| 15 | including women and children |
| 16 | |
| 17 | We are asking for 500 million dollars to construct safe havens for the displaced persons in the |
| 18 | North, along with an additional 250 million dollars per year for the next 10 years to maintain the |
| 19 | safe havens |
| 20 | |
| 21 | We will construct safe haven camps for the refugees in order to keep them safe and grant them |
| 22 | basic provisions |
| 23 | |
| 24 | The camps will consist of semi-permanent housing arrangements and food stamps will be |
| 25 | distributed on a bi-weekly basis. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | There will be 50 camps constructed and each camp will contain enough rooming for 15,000 people |
| 28 | including staff and UN peacekeepers. |
