The Repercussions of Armed Conflict on Food Security in the Republic of Cameroon
Open accessAbstract
Peace and stability are among the most significant conditions capable of guaranteeing food security in all communities in the world. In fact, the constant availability and access to food is largely dependant on the state of peace. Armed conflicts in the world today have seriously affected food security with direct consequence on the economy, health, and standard of living of the affected population. This paper seeks to show how the ongoing armed conflicts in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon between separatist armed groups and Cameroon defence forces have affected food security. It is also argued that sustainable food security is strongly dependent on the degree of peace and security existing in a particular region. As such, effective conflict prevention and resolution can significantly contribute to guaranteeing food security to all communities in the world.

Food insecurity can exacerbate tensions and lead to conflict, particularly in regions already facing socio-political challenges.

The Conclusion and the section on the impact of the Anglophone war on food security describe conflict worsening food security. Searches for food insecurity causing tensions or conflict found no passage addressing that reverse direction, including in regions facing socio-political challenges.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
