The Conveners of the Anglophone General Conference (AGC)
met in Douala on Wednesday, 8th August 2018, to review the situation and
identify the necessary actions to be taken towards the holding of a successful
AGC. They noted with deep satisfaction that the Government welcomed the
initiative while expressing reservations on some requests that were addressed
to it. They appreciated the enthusiasm with which Cameroonians of all the ten
regions and all political leanings at home and abroad received the announcement
of the forthcoming conference, while taking cognizance of the skepticism, doubt
and hostility expressed by some voices. They re-affirmed their determination to
pursue, as politically neutral servants of God concerned solely with the
welfare of the people, this initiative which is intended to lay the ground for
finding a peaceful and lasting solution to the Anglophone crisis and for a
return to normal life in the Northwest and Southwest regions.
The
Conveners reviewed the various tasks to be accomplished in preparation for the
conference and to ensure that this important gathering of the people of the
Southwest and Northwest regions achieves its noble objectives. They concluded
that more time would be needed to prepare for the conference. They, therefore, decided to postpone the holding of the
Anglophone General Conference in Buea, initially scheduled for 29th and 30th
August, to the 21st and 22nd November 2018.
The
Conveners call upon the people of the Northwest and Southwest regions, wherever
they may be, to continue preparations for their Individual attendance and
effective participation in the conference. They invite all Cameroonians to pray
daily to the Almighty God for the success of this conference and for the early
return of peace and harmony to the two Anglophone regions.
