Back to EpisodesCameroon Separatists Pause Fighting for Pope's Visit
Description
English-speaking separatists in Cameroon announce a three-day ceasefire for Pope Leo the Fourteenths visit, allowing safe travel for civilians, pilgrims, and officials. The Unity Alliance, a coalition of rebel groups, made the announcement late Monday, citing the spiritual significance of the popes trip. The war, which began in 2017, has resulted in over six thousand deaths and displaced more than six hundred thousand people. Pope Leos visit comes as peace talks between the separatists and mediators remain stalled, but this temporary truce offers a glimmer of hope amidst the conflict.
