Trying to get a better understanding of conflict and unrest around the Gulf of Guinea
A year ago, Brussels based think tank, International Crisis Group listed the conflicts between farmers in herders across Nigeria and anglophone unrest in Cameroon in their 10 conflicts to watch on 2019. This year, the American Council on Foreign Relations listed "political instability in Nigeria, stemming from conflicts in the Delta region and Middle Belt" under its low priority concerns. they also noted that the Cameroonian Anglophone crisis did not make their list this year.
Given the geographic proximity of the Anglophone region of Cameroon to the Niger Delta, as well as to the location of the regions in which Igbo Biafran seperatists are living in Nigeria, I'm curious as to if there is much of a cross border relationship or interaction between the various actors in these political disputes and social points of unrest.
I'm also trying to get a better handle on understadning the intertribal tribal and land disputes around the Gulf of Guinea.
