On May 18, 2018, Peter Henry Balerin published a statement accusing Cameroon’s army of committing targeted murders in the Northwest and the Southwest. He even called on the president to think of the history he will leave behind in history books.

Following his statements, the minister of foreign affairs invited him to express the country’s views.
