Britain has a key role to play in the present crisis in Southern Cameroons.On 1st October 2017 Southern Cameroons reasserted its independence from Cameroun. It now has an interim government and now recognizes itself as the Republic of Ambazonia.

The problem in Southern Cameroons is a consequence of failed decolonisation.UN resolution 1514 reaffirms the right of every people to self determination.Denial of that right or subjugation of a people to an alien power is a frequent cause of conflict.
