There will be no room.

There will be no room for anything like fraught because people tired, we know the fraud, machinery or mechanism has been put in place even during the registration. 00:00:51.720 --> 00:01:0.460 60 kilometers away in the anglophone city of Boya, the main concern is security Thes rally organized by the ruling party. 00:01:0.470 --> 00:01:2.910 Is he really guarded by soldiers? 00:01:3.580 --> 00:01:7.020 Political parties have been provided was so just to win never the campaign. 00:01:7.030 --> 00:01:13.850 In the region under phone, separatist militias have been fighting to create an independent state on the rest of the country.

They have won voters and candidates against taking part in the polls.

We are a bit worried, one cannot pretend that which cannot be boosting, that we're not worried.

But we are thankful for the measure that the head of state has put in place to guarantee Cameroonians of their security before, during and after the selections.

So the fear element should be completely set aside.

But not everyone is optimistic.

Opposition leader Morris Come Toe Husband Caught at the vote He was runner up in the 2018 presidential election.

He wants better policies for the country on the Andrew forms. 00:01:59.460 --> 00:02:2.700 After debate, we came to a conclusion we said to ourselves. 00:02:2.710 --> 00:02:6.310 But how can we say that we're against the wall and take part in the elections? 00:02:6.310 --> 00:02:13.720 What the war continues on, that precisely these populations which are immersed in the war won't be able to take part in the elections.

Those water in these elections were responsible in defining the country's policies for next five years.

This will include finding a solution for the ant forages and I'm joined now by Paul Simon Handy off the Institute off security Studies.

Welcome to DW.

He's Africa pool.

The main opposition isn't going to be taking part in these elections, and all indication is that the turnout will be low in the English speaking areas off the country.

Is this vote credible?

The question to be asked.

I think the vote would probably be credible in most in the major cities in most parts of the country, actually.

But the question should be as particularly for the for the wonderful in regions where, if the comparison can be allowed for the presidential elections, turnout us really law and all signs indicate that it will be the case giving the very volatile security situation in some in most areas off their hunger for waging.

But just to come back.

Most opposition parties are taking place.

The only party that is not taking place Easter, the party off the opposition figure movies Canto.

But we have to say that this party hasn't been tested yet.

Electoral candidate Very well their presidential election.

But they never bean really tested for legislative, particularly local elections, just going back to the separatist movement in the English speaking regions that started in 2017 there was legitimate cries at that time. 00:03:56.410 --> 00:04:2.700 We've seen this movement since being taken over, if you will by the separatists who use violence. 00:04:2.710 --> 00:04:13.780 If we if we can add that Are they the true representatives off people in the English speaking part of the country who simply want to not be treated like second class citizens in their own country?

Yeah, I think you're right in pointing the fact that the the grievances that were raised three years ago when the crisis started were legitimate grievances.

But in my opinion, the government in handled properly.

And that's why the whole situation is credited to the point best we noted today.

But currently I think this situation has deteriorated so much that it's extremely difficult to find people legitimate political representatives off those who are taken up arms. 00:04:53.370 --> 00:05:2.360 It was obvious, for example, during the national Barry look that was organized late last year in Tora Bora bats. 00:05:2.370 --> 00:05:6.030 Those speaking commoners were present there. 00:05:6.190 --> 00:05:10.430 Did not really could not speak for the separatists.

For those who took up arms and the questions should be asked controls this action.

All right, pull Simon handy from the Isis.

Thank you.
