Cameroon’s state-affiliated newspaper says the country’s government never authorized Canada to lead peace talks aimed at ending an escalating conflict in the west-central African country.
Ottawa announced last Friday that it has been hosting talks with the government of Cameroon and various factions to come up with a peace process for a political resolution to the crisis.
