TOPSHOT - In this photograph taken on September 29, 2018, policemen wait in the shade after the electoral meeting the President Paul Biya held in the stadium of Maroua, Far North Region of Cameroon. - Majority-francophone Cameroon's two English-speaking regions -- the southwest and northwest -- have been rocked by a separatist insurgency since a symbolic independence declaration one year ago. But with separatists vowing to disrupt polls in English areas, and many thousands of the region's voters displaced due to the violence, it is unclear if October 7's polls will be staged safely in anglophone areas.
