Justice in the Crossfire: Courts, Conflict, and the Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon: One Judge’s Lived Experience Paperback – February 26, 2026

The book examines the gradual breakdown of the legal system and the erosion of access to justice in the midst of the ongoing conflict in Cameroon’s Anglophone regions. The book traces how the normal functioning of courts has been disrupted—judicial officers displaced, litigants and lawyers silenced by insecurity, and court infrastructure destroyed or abandoned.
