"I'm increasingly concerned by the rising level of violence in Cameroon. Today, I met with the Cameroonian Ambassador to the US, Henri Etoundi Essomba, to discuss the ongoing repression in the country's Anglophone regions."

"We cannot allow this violence to continue nor escalate. As such, today I'm introducing an amendment to the 2020 National Defense Authorization Act with @SenatorCardin and @ChrisVanHollen to condition U.S. security assistance to Cameroon."

"Our amendment will halt all further US security assistance to Cameroon - except for dealing with Boko Haram - until the Secs. of Defense and State certify such violent repression has come to a halt. As I told Amb. Essomba, the US stands ready to help with a peaceful path forward."

@SenatorDurbin
