Infos

Within recent decades in Africa and Cameroon in particular, wars have provoked spill-over effects which have generated forced migrations as a result of a well-founded fear of being killed. As an old tradition, Cameroon has for decades remained a harbouring oasis within the melting sub-region for refugees from Nigeria and the Central African Republic. By 2010, the East Region of Cameroon hosted over 250,000 refugees from the Central Africa Republic, while the Far North Region hosted around 275,000 refugees from Nigeria. Faced with acute humanitarian crises in the two zones, the UNHCR, through her implementing partners, offered expensive humanitarian assistance to the refugees as outlined by the 1951 Refugee Convention and other related protocols. This book looks into the crises which provoked such forced migration and the legal international and regional bases for humanitarian assistance. It explores the sustainable measures which were taken by the UNHCR through her partners within the 21st century.
