Growing insecurity causes France 30% loss in investment in Cameroon. How will Macron’s call redress this?

France takes several things into consideration today for people carrying out any investment project in Cameroon.

A credible source in the French embassy in Cameroon says the country of Emmanuel Macron has lost 30% of her investments in Cameroon due to the war in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon and activities of insurgents in the Far North region of Cameroon.

Though indicating that France might not completely discourage French companies wishing to invest in Cameroon, our source says the Anglophone regions and the far North region remain insecure for any credible business activity.

With over three thousand people killed in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon, France has denied accusation of playing a role in the assimilation process of Anglophones by the regime of president Paul.

To our source(not named for security reasons), Cameroon is an independent state and has to handle her internally issues without any outright interference from France.

Questioned if France has taken steps to negotiate for peace in Cameroon, France embassy in Cameroon thinks they don’t have access to talk to fighters in the bush and leaders of Ambazonia in the diaspora.

On the municipal and legislative elections 2020 in Cameroon, France embassy in Cameroon has maintained seal lips on the conduct of the election.

“We did not observe the elections therefore commenting on the conduct of the polls will be inappropriate”. Our source wonders that with more than two thousand six hundred polling stations in Cameroon, it is practically impossible for France to deploy observers in all these polling stations that will give a good picture of how the election took place.

Given the reaction of president Emmanuel Macron of France to a Cameroonian activist in Paris, Macron confesses how his pressure ensured the release of Prof. Maurice Kamto from prison.


Going by this, Cameroonians expect that his promise to mount pressure on Paul Biya to stop genocide in Cameroon yield fruits in the months ahead.

To some critics, with 30% French investment reduced to nothing in Cameroon due to total insecurity in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon, the interest of France in Cameroon seems to have really been threatened that warrants the attention of Emmanuel Macron.
