The Chairman of the National Commission for Human Rights and
Freedoms, Chemuta Divine Banda has said in a statement issued on 9 October 2017
that the siiting government headed by Philemon Yang is unfit to resolve the
Southern Cameroons crisis. Chemuta observed
that the government should be disqualified from the negotiating table-a similar
position held by the President of the Movement for the Rebirth of Cameroon
(MRC), Prof Maurice Kamto.
He revealed in a
press release that the NCHRF was currently in search of a credible mediator to
end the Anglophone crisis that started since November 2016. During an outing on
October 10, 2017, Chemuta Divine said that if the crisis has taken a dramatic turn,
it is because the Government thinks only they can provide solutions to the
conflict.
The human rights
commission has advocated the presence of a mediator to facilitate dialogue and
find solutions to the crisis. However, it must be said that the Commission is
looking for a mediator who will be impartial, with moral integrity. The government again has shut down internet
services throughout Southern Cameroons and continues to carry out military
operations and massive arrests within the territory. Hundreds of Southern
Cameroons youth have been killed and many have fled to neighboring Nigeria.
