Issa Tchiroma Ignominiously Regurgitates Again
Issa Tchiroma |
The Minister of communication has announced the arrest
for trial of some seven Cameroonian soldiers who are suspected to be
responsible for the killing of women and children in the Far North of Cameroon.
Issa
Tchiroma’s announcement that was made on state radio contradicts an earlier
statement he made denying that Cameroonian soldiers were responsible for the
dastardly killings as was captured in a video and affirmed by Amnesty
International.
In his
rebuttal statement, Tchiroma told public opinion that Cameroonian soldiers were
so well trained and professional, they could not carry out such atrocities. He
said Amnesty was only out to destabilize Cameroon and its illustrious leader,
Paul Biya.
Tchiroma
said the soldiers captured in the video were from a different country,
insinuating that they were Malian soldiers and not Cameroonians.
It was
thus surprising to many when the same minister went on air Friday and told
Cameroonians that after a thorough investigation, some seven suspected soldiers
had been arrested in connection to the acts.
Yet the
minister did not have the humility to apologize for disseminating “fake news”
to Cameroonians.
The
seven soldiers arrested included: Lt. Fobassou Etienne, Sgt Bityala Cyriaque
Hilaire, Coporal Godwe Mana Didier, Corporal Tsanga, Donassou Barnabas, Manasse
Jacobai and Ntieche Fewou.
Tchiroma
in his statement on CRTV still hailed the Cameroon army for their “bravery,
professionalism and determination” in combating terrorism in the country.
