A new platform, the People’s Consultative Conference, aims to bring together residents of Cameroon’s anglophone North-West and South-West regions to develop ways of resolving the conflict. Consultations with communities and the diaspora will precede an in-person conference planned for the first quarter of 2027, according to the organisers.

The People’s Consultative Conference (TPCC), a new platform for dialogue on the anglophone conflict in Cameroon, has been created to bring together residents of the North-West and South-West regions. It is intended to provide a forum to discuss the ongoing crisis and ways to achieve a lasting solution, according to Cameroon News Agency.

In a statement entitled “Towards a Permanent Solution”, its organisers promise a space open to participants with differing political beliefs, identities and experiences. The initiative is being led by a college of ten convenors, including Bah Augustine Ndangam, Professor John Fobanjong, Pa Andrew Azong Wara, Dr Lucie Ngongbo and Reverend Dr Enochong Mbiwan, reports Cameroon News Agency.
