While on both sides there have been atrocities committed by armed groups—some horrible atrocities—the government has committed the worst kinds of atrocities you can imagine. From the facts we have gathered, it's horrible to see what they have done. I support the idea to fight to get a fact-finding mission on the ground. That will help us see what's going on in the Southern Cameroons. It's difficult to put an equivalent between both sides because the government is armed and supported by the international community. Armed groups are hiding in their communities, trying to defend themselves, and then through defending themselves, they commit some really horrible crimes, too. I would suggest that a fact-finding mission go into the Southern Cameroons to bring out the truth.
