TwoCents
If you were to pick an African country with a poor blend of Human rights and national security, which would it be? And Why?
I would pick Cameroon which is a glearing example where relations between these two concepts have been breached .
I say so because, Cameroon is presently in a situation where the country was relatively stable and prosperous notwithstanding prolonged political differences . Due to the ongoing arms conflict between government forces and separatist arms groups , the country finds itself in mutiny; in a conflict that is still indeterminate as to where it will end.
Human Rights 2021 reports reveal the devastating effects of the arms conflict which includes ; Armed groups and government forces commiting widespread human rights abuses , including extra judicial and summary executions and mass killings and burning down of over 200 villages across Cameroon anglophone regions.
Secondly Cameron's law No. 2014/028 of 23rd December 2014 on the suppression of acts of terrorism in Cameroon .
A careful perusal of this particular piece of legislation reveals its potential infringement on important human rights and freedoms protected by its own constitution and international human rights law.
