In a bid to retaliate against the Cameroon military for the killing of one of the separatist fighter several months ago, a separatist group (ADF) in Batibo, located in the Northwest region of Cameroon, has enforced a one-month lockdown on the local population. The decision to impose the lockdown was announced by the ADF group, citing the need to mourn the loss of their fallen leader and to protest against what they perceive as ongoing aggression from the Cameroon military and also conspiracy on the part of some local indigent.  Tensions have been escalating in the region following the killing of the separatist general, which occurred during clashes between the group and government forces.

The U.S. House recently passed a bill demanding TikTok owner ByteDance sell the app to a U.S. company within six months or face a ban. Democrats and Republicans say the popular video-sharing app TikTok poses a threat to national security as more than a hundred and seven million Americans use TikTok, supporters of the ban say data collected by the app could be used by the Chinese government to manipulate algorithms that they fear could ultimately sway voters, particularly ahead of the US presidential election in November. The bill has been sent to the Senate for votes, but analyses say even if it is passed, it will face a set of legal challenges.

TikTok states that a forced sale will amount to banning the App Nation Wild, which will endanger three hundred thousand (300.0000) American jobs and the inco

The United Nations can play a crucial role in supervising a referendum in the Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon to end all the unnecessary killing in these regions.  The presence of the United Nations can help ensure a fair, transparent, and credible process, which is essential for the legitimacy and acceptance of the referendum results. The United Nations has a history of involvement in conflict resolution and peacekeeping efforts around the world. In the case of Cameroon, the United Nations has already been engaged in addressing the Anglophone crisis. The African Union has also intervened in the conflict, highlighting regional and international concerns for a peaceful resolution. One thing that is worth mentioning is that these contributions have mostly been made words either condemning the killings or asking both sides to drop their weapons and call for dialogue.
