Abstract
The last 6 years have witnessed a period of considerable unrest in Cameroun. In 2016, protests within the minority Anglophone regions, against the obligatory use of French in court rooms and schools, were violently supressed. This, combined with decades of marginalisation by successive Francophone governments, led to calls for secession - the creation of an independent nation of Ambazonia. This book offers a theological reflection on this escalating crisis, examining whether nationalism might be considered a tool of liberation in this particular African context.
