Cameroon’s foreign minister has said the government disapproves of the planned visit by France’s LGBTQ rights ambassador.

Lejeune Mbella Mbella said this was because homosexuality “qualified as a crime of common law” in Cameroon.

Ambassador Jean-Marc Berthon was due to visit Cameroon from 27 June until 1 July to discuss gender rights.

Recently Cameroon’s National Communication Council warned the media against promoting homosexual content.
