The Catholic Church has proposed in an episcopal letter to the "people of God who are in Cameroon, to all Cameroonians", to vote in the upcoming elections, "candidates capable of dealing with the socio-political crisis" that Cameroon is going through. In the same letter from which VOA Africa obtained a copy, the Cameroonian bishops also proposed to Cameroonians to choose only those who are capable of "promoting the unity of the country, its true independence". To this end, Bishop Samuel Kleda, who signed the letter, in his capacity as president of the Cameroon National Bishops' Conference, urged Cameroonians to only take an interest in political programmes that "bring real solutions to the problems afflicting the country. ". Among these problems, Samuel Kleda, Archbishop of Douala, cites "corruption, the loss of a sense of the common good, the crisis in the north-west and south-west regions, social inequalities, youth unemployment, the fight against Boko Haram, the challenges of the judiciary, health, education, infrastructure, ... etc.". The bishops' letter is also a call for massive participation of the people to "exercise their sovereignty by freely, peacefully and responsibly choosing their leaders". However, the Catholic Church urges its faithful and people of goodwill to make choices that do not conflict with their Gospel-inspired beliefs. The Catholic Church also calls through the channel of the bishops 'for free and transparent elections'. Statistics show that 38.4% of the Cameroonian population is of Catholic obedience. Under the auspices of an influential member of this church, the former Archbishop of Douala, Cardinal Christian Tumi, the general conference of Anglophones will be held from 21 to 22 November 2018, which aims to find solutions to end the crisis North-West and South-West regions. The Catholic institution is the only player capable of 'promoting dialogue between the insurgents and the government', said the International Crisis Group last April africaaedic.eu
