April 19, 2022
According to a Truthout article, Human rights activists celebrated the Biden administration’s announcement that Cameroon is designated for TPS. This decision will allow tens of thousands of immigrants to temporarily live and work in the U.S. due to the dangerous conditions in their war-torn country. It is estimated there are 11,7000 Cameroonians currently in the U.S. that will be able to remain in the country for 18 months. Over the last six years, Cameroonians have been killed and displaced due to the war between government forces and separatist groups. In addition to this turmoil, the Islamist militant group Boko Haram has escalated attacks in the northern part of the country.
