Whistle blowing:Persecution and Prosecution of Teachers on the Rise in Anglophone Cameroon as Liberation war Deepens

✓The case of Noela Ika Beh, a teachers in Wum and teachers of the two English speaking Regions of Anglophone Cameroon are  a serious call for concern and alarm. 

What started as a pacific strike actions organized by teachers and lawyers on the 6^th of October 2016, to gain identity and dignity unfortunately or fortunately has grown out of proportion to a full scale war entering it’s eight years putting the same parties concerned victims of their orchestrations.

Hijacked by separatist fighters and Republican forces, who have taken upon it as a theatre or center for their cross fire  exchanges.

Eight years down the roll as the crisis deepens and grow in Propensity, 54% of schools remain closed according to UN security reports with over a thousand teachers targeted and over five hundred kidnapped, and a hundred murdered in cold blood.

As we report, a cross section of internally displaced persons over a 100,000 are mostly students, teachers, lawyers and families in areas declared red zones habited by separatist fighters and centers of the war arsenal.

North West where school reopening is trying to pick up, teachers of late in their numbers  are as we report a subject to the brutal attacks from the regime in question who want them to be in school daily mindful of the security threats and challenges from the separatists fighters who will not want to see a class door open talk less of children in school attire before accommodating the fact that teachers should go about their pedagogic activities.

Which is a gross abuse to the fundamental rights of teachers and their students to education.

In a lawless situation who cares? Most especially as the gang has resorted to kidnapping teachers who are violating their school injunction order for money.

The case of some Menchum teachers early last October is very much in the news where many teachers were not only picked up by separatist forces but by military to regain duty post brutally and with horrendous threats.

The case of Noela Ika a teacher from Wum and colleagues from our sources, reflects and mirror a beater, a brutal and a traumatic experience of what teachers go through in the English speaking part of Cameroon in the name of teaching from both Republican and separatist forces.

As a center of attention and attraction, teachers have remained a major source of target daily given that, if schools starts fully all will come back to normalcy and the nationhood liberation fighters are trying to restore will die a natural death after all the wasted years.

True to what we are saying in this special report, the act of both forces has caused many teachers to be kidnapped, some killed and most on the run for dear lives. While some are in detention camps either because they have absconded from school activities or parties to the separatist campaign.

This calls for international attention as the alarming rate of human social right violation is becoming unbearable.
