Militants of the Meme II, Mbonge section of the ruling CPDM party have celebrated the 32nd Anniversary the party at the Mbonge grandstand defying calls for ghost towns in the two Anglophone regions.

                Celebrating the achievements of the party, the militants urged the president to engage in frank dialogue so as to put an end to the crisis that is rocking the two Anglophone regions.

                 According to the WCPDM president, Njimba Hannah, “the women of the section decry the fact that children have been deprived of their right to education. We are begging on politicians to leave our children alone because depriving them of education won’t solve the crisis,” she pleaded, thanking the section president, Senator Otte Andrew Mofa for always coming to the aide of the women of the sub-section.

                On his part, the YCPDM president, Bokwe Martin, pleaded with the head of state to ensure genuine decentralization of the country as stipulated in the 1996 constitution, saying this will give autonomy to the municipal authorities thereby bringing direct development to the various regions.

                Senator Otte Andrew Mofa, the section president of CPDM Meme II Mbonge, called militants to suggest a way forward to the ongoing crisis for him to take to parliament for deliberations. In response many militants proposed regional autonomy and ten decentralized regions as stipulated by the constitution. Senator Otte Andrew promised to take the proposals to parliament for the law makers to deliberate on.

                The Questor of the Upper House of Parliament revealed the good will of president Biya in handling the crisis with the creation of the Bilingual and multiculturalism commission and the appointment of its members.

                Senator Otte who arguably is the most popular elite of the area, pleaded with the population to shun fear and send their children to school.

                The assurance of security of these children was guaranteed by the divisional officer, Simon Sumbe who also begged on the population to shun fear and send their children to school. The CPDM militants of the Meme II section also urged PrsidentBiya to upgrade Mbonge Sub-Division (largest sub-division in Cameroon) to the status of a Division.
