Let’s move away from the metaphors for a minute. Cameroon is an arbitrary and artificial creation of Europeans and in 1884 all the ethnicities present in Cameroon today were present. Needless to say these “Cameroonians” never consented to any unity.

The Cameroonian identity is solely based on our shared history during the colonial era and the approach to unity must be inclusive. We cannot be homogeneous because we’re too diverse and each of these diverse identities is as equally Cameroonian as the next. #EndAnglophoneCrisis

I believe there's a happy spot between "believe the victim/take accusations seriously" and the principle of "innocent until proven guilty". What if accusations were seriously investigated and only once guilt was proven beyond reasonable doubt do we mete out punishment?
Everybody has a right to justice and that means taking due process before deciding on guilt or lack thereof. When it comes to crimes like rape emotions should be kept at bay. Making the accusations public before they can be properly investigated can be fatal to a case.
