The charge d’affairs at
the United States embassy in Yaounde, Matthew Smith, who for some time now has
been acting in the capacity of Ambassador after Michael Steven Hoza came to the
end of his mission in Cameroon, yesterday informed the population of Cameroon
that the United States of America could not intervene in the internal affairs
of Cameroon.
To him, the fact that
Cameroon remains a sovereign states makes it impossible for the USA to
intervene in its internal issues which according to the high-level diplomat can
be resolved internally. Even though, the diplomat did not mention the Anglophone crisis is his speech, his comments acknowledged that he was indeed referring to the issue.

are expecting the United States to intervene in the internal affairs of
Cameroon I say it’s impossible because Cameroon is a sovereign nation.” He

finding a solution…I am glad 2018 is fast approaching when you have more than
