“The Littoral for the Littorals”: the slogan that fractures Cameroon

A regionalist slogan, “The Littoral for the Littorals,” is sparking intense controversy in Cameroon and is accused of fracturing national unity. The movement advocates for priority of native inhabitants of the Littoral region in local positions and resources. The rhetoric is exacerbated by electoral tensions and a sense of marginalization among certain communities. The debate revives fears of identity-based withdrawal in a country already weakened by the Anglophone crisis.
