OTTAWA — Cameroon's state-affiliated newspaper says the country's government never authorized Canada to lead peace talks aimed at ending an escalating conflict in the west-central African country.
The newspaper cited a press release signed by the country’s Communication Minister René Sadi, which said Cameroon “has not entrusted any foreign country or external entity with any role of mediator or facilitator to settle the crisis.” "We are in touch with the parties and our previous statement stands," wrote spokesman Adrien Blanchard.
The conflict has killed more than 6,000 people since 2017, and left 600,000 children without full access to an education.
