✓ As
War Deepens, Wanton arrest and torture of suspected supporters of separatist
fighters in Anglophone Cameroon order of the day.
The
Cameroon government has of late step up security measures to put restrain or
contain the ever growing force or the wind of liberations blowing across
Anglophone Cameroon.
The
liberation war, call it better still a “guerilla war fare” which entails
hitting and running, it must be noted, entering 2022 , six years after
eruption, had taken another frequency or dimension. As those who pick up arms
into the bush, to restore homeland, resorted to serial killings or artisanal
bombing of government armored cars that has led to the killing of many
Republican troops, many a people kidnapped, not to talk of serious material
lots and damages.
To
stop the deepening crisis that has led to the great lost of lives, the serious
grounding of the economy, and worsen the situation of the Anglophone Regions in
question, North West and South West, government’s higher defense and security
counsel at the Presidency and intelligence of late, ordered the judicial security
arm of the two Regions to sign fresh warrants of arrest to pick up all
concerned directly or indirectly with the ongoing liberation war of
independence by separatists forces.
To
that effect, a dozen or a hand full of names were made know to the public through a military signed press release early
August, 7th, 2022 by Major
General Nkah Valere of activists at home and abroad wanted plus family
relations with their pictures to name; Chris Anu Tapang Ivo, Eric Tataw, Nso
Foncha, Dr Sako Ikome, Chris Anu, Prof.
Carlsen Anyangwe, Dr. Cho Ayaba, Capo Daniel, Tafili Betrand Yimiseh, Mack
Bareta, Nana Carlsen etc leaders and members of the UNO State, Briskanian
movements, the Southern Cameroon National Council (SCNC), promoters and
supporters of the deepening Abazonian liberation war hiding at home and abroad
operating on the ground, sponsoring and fanning the war.
These
persons and their mischievous under ground movements, shortlisted according to
the press release, have done a lot to radicalize youths on the ground not only
to rebel against the state, but have taken up arms against republican forces
with all resilience.
As
we report, security in sources, holds that crack down on these wanted persons,
began in most of the hide outs of the activists in the suburbs declared red
zones (Jakiri, Nkum, Mbiame, Below, Bafut, Bali, Widikum Batibo, Benakuma, Weh,
Bambalang, Balikumbat, Ndop, Jakiri, Bambui, Kedjom keku and most of the border
towns or countries they have fled to or into.
The
situation has grown precarious to an extend that even parents of activists,
properties, of late are been targeted for arrest or burning by elite forces and
the “boys” as well.
Worst
of it all is the serial killings going on either way, the wanton arrests and
the outright kidnappings going on the ground. That alone makes the whole
situation complex for the two English speaking Regions which has suddenly
become inhabitable because of the serious security challenges.
The
economy as we report is seriously grounded, the Regions ungovernable, schools,
half opened half closed, schools, hospitals burnt down to ashes and even
churches under attacks, some forcefully transformed into separatists camps or
hide outs from where they ambush and rush back for safety.
The
situation as we report has grown precarious and government is planning to
institute a state of emergency in order to wipe out separatists forces, their
sponsors, Supporter and promoters hiding in and out of the country, most
especially as the separatists fighters have of late resorted to using artisanal
bombs which recently bombed a convoy of army to Bui on attack mission in Ndop
Sub-Division.
