Trial over Cameroon's Anglophone protests exposes national divide

YAOUNDE (Reuters) - The trial of three English-speaking protesters facing the death penalty opened at a military court in Cameroon on Monday in a case that has exposed national divisions and stoked opposition to Francophone President Paul Biya.

Since October, people in Cameroon's two western English-speaking regions have joined protests against what they say is their marginalisation by the French-speaking majority under Biya's 35-year rule.
