The Anglophone Crisis is a conflict in the SW region of Cameroon, otherwise known as the 'Ambazonia War'. In September 2017, separatists in the Anglophone territories declared the independence of Ambazonia and began fighting against the Government of Cameroon. Starting as a low-scale insurgency during 2018, the conflict spread to most parts of the Anglophone regions and intensified.
As of late 2019, the war has killed approximately 3,000 civilians and displaced more than half a million people.
