A senior cleric of the Holy Roman
Catholic Church has said that the Vatican is ready to mediate in the Southern Cameroons
crisis. Commenting of the developing
story, local media houses in Cameroon revealed that the Vatican made public its
position during the recent UN Human Rights Council meeting in Geneva.
The Secretary in charge of
Relations with States at the Vatican, Bishop Paul Richard Gallagher reportedly
told the Minister of External Relations Lejeune Mbella Mbella that the Vatican
was beginning to be very concerned with human rights abuses in Southern
Cameroons.
We gathered that the meeting with
Mbella Mbella lasted for 45 minutes. Nothing about the brutal murder of Bishop
Bala of the Bafia Diocese featured in the conversation.
