Okay kiddo, so in some parts of Africa, people speak English because the countries used to be ruled by the British a long time ago. These people who speak English as their first language are called anglophones.
Sometimes, anglophones in certain parts of Africa feel like they're not being treated fairly or equally as the people who speak a different language called French. This is because in some countries, both English and French are official languages, and sometimes people who speak French get more opportunities or benefits than those who speak English.
So people who are anglophones in those countries feel like they need to speak up and let the government know that they want to be treated fairly too. They call this the anglophone problem, and it's all about wanting equality and respect for their language and culture.
