Attacks on SDF Supporters:

Fru Ndi Suspects Gov’t’s Hidden Hand 
The National Chairman of the Social Democratic Front party SDF, Ni John Fru Ndi has regretted the continues attacks on his party members planning to take part in the upcoming twin elections in the North West region.
    Reacting to the multiple kidnaps and arson attacks on SDF supporters and their properties in the NW region, Ni John Fru Ndi said he does not understand why the attacks are targeted only on SDF militants and not militants of other political parties.
    “The burning and kidnappings started with me, Fru Ndi…they have kidnapped and burnt the properties of many SDF supporters and I kept crying and drawing the attention of the population that this thing is targeted on the SDF alone.”
    “…And I ask, was the Anglophone issue targeted on the SDF that they think they should do all they are doing on the SDF? It is not fair..,” lamented Fru Ndi.

    The SDF Chairman equally disclosed theat his party is yet to take a final stand as far as their participation in the upcoming Legislative and Municipal elections is concerned. He said the insecurity that prevails in the SDF stronghold of the North West and South West regions may not permit for such participation.
    “We are working towards ensuring our participation in the elections. But if by the elections date Mr Biya does not fulfil some of the conditions we have put forward, especially giving a solution to the issues in the NW and SW and stop the killing of people, then we will take a position,” Fru Ndi said.
    As of today, a good number of SDF supporters who were due to take part in the elections have withdrawn their candidatures. Most of them advanced the insecurity in the two English speaking regions as reason for backsliding. It is feared that by election day on 9 February many more SDF aspirants might have resigned.
