english speaking regions was a quitter breakaway state they call. they often use abundant properties like these come. cameroon so it is a tough recovery days surgeon see we started as a street protest. but we're not in a state of war we're in a crisis where new situation where we have to restore law and order those men around brown those who have just gone astray. he's all but there to gary this is a corner a once very lively town now in reeds fighting between separatists and the army has forced inhabitants to flee it's been like this for 3 years nothing in a town is functional not even hospitals. soldiers and civilians are also far huge controversy is here so just give the militias for everything. resample. as time has passed we've noticed the

conflict has progressed. the separatists have launched a campaign against the population they carry out kidnappings and ask for ransom younger man and one song. for the current army has been accused of committing serious human rights abuses against the local population allegations it has repeatedly denied however so just a film bunny villages and attacking civilians meanwhile hundreds of sympathies fighters have left the movement citing financial mismanagement from their leaders have brought. this moment to support this fight for 3 years he has not joined a government unless the program. some of us have realized everything we were told about the separatist movement was a lie the ladies used us to make money for them that's why i started fighting. we leave you know we don't. have to immediately be. yet another town diverse dubai

fighting along destroyed everyone has fled. i do mean it should be security is always tight the commander tells us super just have your own comes just a few kilometers away all the army has set up barracks like these across the room attacks on secession is still take place but only says they are walking have to contact. the army shows weapons including explosives to see was seized from the separatists in another town does hospital was blown to the ground so just a separatist point. for the act at least 4 patients died on their beds. and the local population is living in fear because i have the impression that the separatists are living alongside them. but efforts are being made so that they can

live in an atmosphere free of. communist government see they are planning to rebuild down to 4 regions nevertheless it is still unclear how this will happen when we continue fighting and destruction in the area. joining me now is the d.w. reports out please a young who sent us that report from cameroon and when you weigh in separatist territory what were civilians telling you about how they've been affected by the fighting. first of all i will say we didn't see lots of civilians wounded but the few that spoke to was coming out told this young won't be able to carry out yet because they leave in the field it can't go to churches they can't go to the fields because the freight maybe caught in a crossfire. and now he has a thing just like the separatists come in me has been accused of committing serious

human rights abuses so we can't really see that the military are the good guys and separatists not a bad guys can we. deal with difficult for us i didn't. was the bottom god immediately tells us that we have here to protect the people and to support you see the idea to fight for the people but in reality the people on the ground know brunt of these fine and good sides i'm all in human rights abuses cut into human rights groups. so why add a separatist and then they speak in regions so eager to create a state. these goes back to the history of cameroon cameroon was treated was i mean you start by 2 separate colonial powers the french and of british and the outlook for regions where we are concentrating our thought was i mean the south by the british style and the whole

show is different from that of the french speaking region also the out of 4 regions have much more resources including rule robots and to feel as though they do not enjoy these resources just the more reason why most of these people climb onto so great and control this strategy as their own country and to control of their resources basically. briefly before you go come in and started a national dialogue nearly a year ago to resolve the conflict in the areas is it making a difference at all. 11 months down the line maybe since cameron held a national dialogue to discuss the crises moishe has not changed on the ground there are still kidnappings killings in the villages and people here do not really expect much to happen if enough yet passed. unfortunately there
