Democratic congress women and staunch critic of Trump  Illhar Omar and Karen Bass have given a damning verdict about the Anglophone crisis, literally putting a Yaounde on notice

In a three page letter addressed to President Biya, the congress members acknowledge amongst other things the recent moves taken by government to resolve the Anglophone crisis, but insist the measures aren’t enough to end the war

They regret the fact that crimes have been committed by armed civilian groups in the course of the war but adds  even more horrific crimes including rape, torture, burning of entire villages amongst others have been committed by the country’s Security forces

They also encouraged Yaounde to join the Swiss led imitative for an inclusive dialogue with separatists leaders to end the crisis and warn of other measures to be taken to punish the regime should they delay amongst other things

The letter has been welcomed by separatists and their backers who have been in a three year’s deadlock with Biya’s regime as they seek independence for the state of Ambazonian which constitutes the North West and South West region.

But Yaounde might take comfort in the fact that the signatories of the letter constitutes some of the most hated members of congress in the White House

Democratic Congress woman Omar has been one of the four Democrats who constitutes what is now known as the squad

The women of color have been a fierce critic of Trump, constantly drawing rebuttal from the White House with their fat left policies.

Political analysts say any bill to punish Cameroon from such congress members will enjoy no shoooer from Trump but supporters say it’s a positive step.

The Special status law was as results of five days major national dialogue intended to find solution to the crisis
