The Commission vigorously denounces the positions taken by ill-informed actors on all sides who falsely claim – in blatant violation of the Constitution of 18 January 1996 and relevant international instruments – that only the Mbororos and the three Bs (the Bakas, the  Bakola/Bagyéli and the Badzang) constitute indigenous peoples in Cameroon, stressing that such denial of recognition of other indigenous communities, synonymous with the rejection of their call for equality, violates a fundamental principle and is part  of a policy of denial of particularisms which constitutes “the formula of the most terrible forms of homogenising tyranny”, in the words of Charles Taylor, Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at McGill University in Canada.
