Humanitarian Assistance:

Sen. Otte Donates Food to Mbonge & Konye ‘Refugees’ in Kumba

Senator Otte Andrew Mofa

Thousands of hunger-stricken internally displaced persons from Mbonge and Konye Sub-Divisions littered across Kumba have jumped in jubilation and praised to thank Senator Otte Andrew Mofa for coming to their assistance to donate them food items.

            Senator Otte Mofa who has arguably ‘exiled’ himself to Yaoundé since the escalation of the Anglophone crisis coupled with rampant cases of kidnappings along the Kumba-Buea highway extended his goodwill gesture to the ‘refugees’ onWednesday 27 June 2018 by donating a consignment of food items.The donation comprised40 bags of rice, cartons of soap, cartons of maggi cube, bags of salt and other basic needs.

            The donations were shared in two different locations to his displaced Konye and Mbonge kindred. Beneficiaries could be spotted with wrappings happily leaving the donation grounds. Others who could locate the venue were directed through urgent telephone calls as they alighted on from taxis and motor bikes to get themselves identified.

            While receiving the donations, the Konye and Mbonge ‘refugees’ challenged other elites of Meme who have arguably abandoned them to their fate to come to their aide in times like this where they are suffering.

            Those who spoke to us noted if all of their elites in Meme Division could come together, the donations will be better and it will help reduce the rate of starvation most them are undergoing.

            Others raised worries about other displaced family members and villagers from the two sub-divisions now living in bushes under very harsh conditions. Worthy of note here is the fact that several villages have been burnt down in the two sub-divisions as a result of the crisis.
