What you need to know:

  • On Saturday, Macron, while speaking to a Cameroonian activist at a farm show in Paris, promised to put "maximum pressure" on Biya over a humanitarian crisis in Cameroon's Anglophone regions where armed separatists are clashing with government forces.

Cameroon has opposed French President Emmanuel Macron's remarks over a separatist crisis in the country's English-speaking regions.

Cameroonian President Paul Biya "is accountable for his actions to the sole sovereign Cameroonian people and not to a foreign leader, even from a friendly country," Ferdinand Ngoh Ngoh, secretary general of the Cameroon presidency, said in a statement released Monday evening.
