Diaspora Anglophones told to Stop Destroying Cameroon
By Doh Bertrand Nua in Kumba
The Senior Divisional Officer, SDO for Meme has sent a grim
message to Cameroonians living in the Diaspora to immediately stop sponsoring
the ongoing war that has completely ravaged his hitherto beautiful and peaceful
territory of command.
Chamberlain
Ntou’ou Ndong dished out the warnings on Wednesday, 21 November at the premises
of the Kumba District Hospital, whilst presiding over an event to officially
receive medical equipment donated to the hospital by the Association of Kumba
(K-Town) boys living in Atlanta, USA. The equipments donated were estimated at
about FCFA 300 million.
The SDO
told his hearers comprising a cross section of his collaborators, personnel of
the hospital, patients and others that the populations of Meme Division have
been suffering and crying a lot due to fighting and the donation from the
brothers is a way to wipe the tears.
While
lauding the initiative of the K-Town boys in Atlanta, Ntou’ou Ndong at once
warned other Diaspora Cameroonians spread across the USA, Europe and Africa to
stop fanning the flames of the crisis and to stop sponsoring the ongoing armed
conflict in the two English speaking regions in general and Meme Division in
particular.
“I want
to warn Cameroonians in the Diaspora to stop sending guns, bullets, tramadol,
and other weapons back home to be used in destroying our beloved fatherland,”
Ntou’ou Ndong cautioned, while calling on the few misguided youths still in the
bushes to lay down their arms as instructed by the Head of State and to
reintegrate into society and start a new and meaningful life that will help in
the reconstruction of Meme and Cameroon.
The SDO
urged all traditional authorities in Meme to immeasurably pray to the gods of
the land to show more favour and blessings to the K. Town boys in America and
to caution those back at home to give peace a chance by laying down their
weapons.
The
clarion call by the Meme SDO to the Cameroonian Diaspora can be understood
giving that the leaders of both the military as well as the civilian wings of
the Anglophone struggle are based in the Diaspora. If one of the Anglophone
leaders, Barrister Eyambe Elias (a K-Town boy) is presently languishing at the
Kondengui prison, after he was arrested along with the Interim President of
Ambazonia, Sisikou Ayuk Tabe and 48 others, in Abuja Nigeria, many others
including Marc Bareta, Tapang Ivo, Kama Douglas Emmanuel, Anu Christopher, John
Mbah Akuroh, Eric Tataw Teno, Cho Ayaba etc etc are still hiding in the
Diaspora from where they are fanning the flames of the bloody war in the NW and
SW regions.
It is
understood that these persons notably, Cho Ayaba, Marc Bareta, Tapang Ivo, Kama
Douglas, Chris Anu and John Mbah Akuroh are busy organizing fund-raisers and
collecting funds which they use in buying arms that they send to the fighters on
“ground zero”. It is such activities that the Meme SDO is preaching against.
It should be mentioned that though Eric Tataw, Kama Douglas
Emmanuel and John Mbah Akuroh are new names in the struggle, they have rapidly
gained in notoriety through the videos and audios which they post on social
media regularly.
Only
last week, the government of Cameroon attributed the brutal killing of a Kenyan
priest in Kembong in Manyu Division to Eric Tataw. The government spokesman,
Issa Tchiroma and the Minister of Defence both accused Tataw of master-minding
the killing. They hinged their claim on the fact that Eric Tataw had called for
the killing of foreigners in the two restive regions so as to attract the
attention of the international community to the plight of Anglophones in
Cameroon.
