Anglophone crisis:

SWELA against Southern Cameroons secession

By Johnson Batuo in Kumba

The assistant Secretary General of the South West elite association SWELA in charge of Meme has castigated those who want to divide Cameroon.

                Prince Nasako Daniel Molondo was speaking to The Median on Thursday august, 17, 2017 in kumba, where he said ‘SWELA cannot be part and will never be in support of those who are clamouring for secession”.

                Prince Nasako Daniel Molondo described those who are preaching secession as devils who want to destroy Cameroon that the president of the Republic Paul Biya has taken many years to build.

                He said Cameroon is one and indivisible, and those clamouring for separation will not succeed.

                Nasako added that instead of preaching separation, people should be talking about the regional councils that the President of the Republic can put in place very soon.

Prince Nasako Daniel Molondo who was speaking against the backdrop of the Anglophone crises, said the people of the south west region will never and cannot support the idea of separating the country.

                He challenged those in the Diaspora whom he accused of fanning the crisis in Cameroon that has plunged the country into chaos and the continuous ghost town that has caused economic hardship to the people of the south west and North West Regions.

                Nasako challenged Anglophones living abroad who want to divide the country to resign from their jobs and stay at home so that, they will know how the people back home are feeling when they observe ghost towns without going about their businesses.

                On the issues of school boycott, the Assistant Secretary General of SWELA in charge of Meme said the education of children cannot be sacrificed because of some misguided individuals.

                Hear him “our children cannot be sacrificed because of those who want to achieve their political aim and want to stop our children from going to school”.

                He disclosed that SWELA is against the call for school boycott as it being preached by the Diaspora whose children he says are schooling abroad, and they are deceiving the people back home not to send their children to school.

                Prince Nasako also said if we don’t educate our children, by sending them to school who will take over those who are going on retirement or how will they be employed in top positions if they are not educated. He ended by saying SWELA will join the government to do everything possible to encourage parents to brave fear and send their children to school in September.

                As a move towards this, the assistant Secretary General of SWELA revealed that SWELA meme branch  will on august 14, 2017 in kumba chief town of meme division organize a one day youth conference to sensitize youths on the importance of going to school. The conference will hold under the theme, “Meme youth back to school for a sustainable future; with President Paul Biya the future is bright.” The one day kumba conference is expected to bring together over 1000 youths to be drawn from youth groups and associations across meme division.
