摘要

本文讨论了2016年至2023年喀麦隆西南地区解决英语冲突的当地社区的倡议和挑战。这场冲突始于2016年9月,当时讲英语的教师和律师举行了罢工,由于讲法语的多数人的边缘化,这场冲突很快演变为要求该国讲英语地区脱离的呼声。到2017年初,分裂分子利用武器,加上鬼城、绑架和致残平民等其他策略,促使政府采取军事应对措施,导致大规模人道主义危机。虽然冲突仍在继续,但一些社区的局势似乎正在恢复正常,这不是由于政府解决问题的办法,而是由于各种土著社区的倡议。根据第一手资料和第二手资料,本研究调查了喀麦隆西南地区当地社区在解决英语国家冲突中所采取的策略。该论文还承认,尽管有这些举措,危机仍然存在,并质疑了一些因素,这些因素削弱了当地社区一直在宣传的土著冲突解决机制。报告的结论是,以英语为母语的危机远没有成为喀麦隆讲英语的人民表达不满的平台,而是让当地社区了解战争的复杂性,并重新启动在前殖民时期普遍存在的土著冲突解决机制的机会。关键词:英语使用者,喀麦隆,冲突解决,当地社区。

CAMEROON: LOCAL COMMUNITIES AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION DURING THE ANGLOPHONE CONFLICT IN THE SOUTH WEST REGION. INITIATIVES AND CHALLENGES
The paper discusses local communities’ initiatives and challenges in resolving the Anglophone conflict in the South West Region of Cameroon between 2016 and 2023. The con flict that began in September 2016 as the Anglophone teachers and lawyers strike soon vitiated into calls for secession of the Anglophone regions of the country due to marginalization by the Francophone majority. By early 2017, the employability of arms by separatists alongside other tactics like ghost towns, kidnappings, and the maiming of civilians had prompted a gov ernment military response leading to a massive humanitarian crisis. While the conflict is still on, the situation seems to be returning to normalcy in some communities owing, not to the government approach to solving the problem but to various indigenous community initiatives. Informed by primary and secondary data, the study investigates the strategies adopted by local communities in resolving the Anglophone conflict in the southwest region of Cameroon. The paper also concedes the persistence of the crisis despite these initiatives and questions factors that mitigate against indigenous conflict resolution mechanisms that local communities have been propagating. It concludes that the anglophone crises far from serving as a platform for the English-speaking people of Cameroon to express their grievances was an opportunity for local communities to understand the complexities of war and a chance to re-initiate indigenous con flict resolution mechanisms which were rife in the pre-colonial days. Keywords: Anglophone, Cameroon, conflict resolution, local community.
