The Creating Safer Space project ‘Exploring unarmed civilian self-protection in Cameroon’s Anglophone conflict’ has published a policy brief, Strengthening Unarmed Community Self-protection in Cameroon’s Anglophone Conflict. The policy brief is written by Dr Nancy Annan and Prof. Gordon Crawford, and it demonstrates the resilience, resourcefulness, and pro-activeness of civilians in protecting themselves in Cameroon’s Anglophone conflict. It advocates that external bodies, both national and international, should learn from these protective measures adopted by local actors, and provide appropriate support.
