This thesis aims at capturing the "singular coefficients"; namely the reasons and resources of Anglophone minority group in Cameroon, by explaining howthe feelings of marginalization, social exclusion and injustice of Anglophones in Cameron culminated in an armed conflict with the government. It shows how the marginalized Anglophones in every stages of the society in Cameroon organized themselves for in order to challenge the government by mobilizing international supports, use of force to get theirs needs guaranteed.
