Gross Human Rights Abuse and the Ongoing Anglophone Liberation War:Cameroon Health Workers Under Attack as Anglophone Crisis Deepens

With serial killings, gross Human right abuse, kidnappings and wanton arrests orchestrated by both separatists fighters and Republican forces daily.

With the mission to plant permanent fear in the population aka civil servants and civilians, respecting government decisions and calls to be at work on forbidden days and partake in national days celebration.

As we report a battery of civilians and government workers were kidnapped and are still under captivity for participating in last 11^th February celebrations, International Women’s Day on the 8^th of March and May 20^th.

Reasons being that they are giving government hopes and the international community the impression that all is going on well in the two English speaking part of Cameroon fighting for their sovereign right, where as there are struggling to create an ungovernable environment.

The captives whose where about are still to be known information holds, that they are undergoing serious torture and assaults as separatists go about fishing out more likened to be supporters of the regime.

A regime they termed has marginalized Anglophones for years and have been doing all in their best to assimilate.

In response government has taken to brutal actions of late to dismantle most of the separatists camps killing some of the fighters and other captives in their custody.

The last security meetings held two weeks ago by the governors of the two English speaking Regions Adolph Lele L’Afrique and Okalia Bilai with collaborators as of our findings and sources shows that about 10 separatists camps were destroyed with over 50 fighters killed in recent ambush, but most of the where about of a cross section of the captives are still to be known.

An uneasy calm reign in the Regions as we report given that most civil servants are fleeing for their dear lives.

Those of the health sector are seriously and particularly under attack for working on days declared to be ghost days and for treating military wounded victims  and refusing to assist separatists forces desiring similar medical care or attention.

This is because Doctor’s without boarders were chased out of the two Regions by the regime for treating separatists war victims and smuggling arms to them.

The horrendous fact of late is that they are moving from door to door kidnapping health workers and demanding for ransoms. Reports are abound in the South West Region that some five health workers were shot at close range for hesitating to comply with their demands.

Linda Nalova, a victim who narrowly escaped death, on media recounted “they came in at the late hours of the night with an indicator who was pin pointing our houses. It is by God’s special grace that I escaped. Most of my colleagues were picked”.

A pathetic situation one cannot imagine, that has grown in full proportion to an extent that health personnel’s rights are seriously been violated in the face of war and government is doing less in their maximum best to redress the situation.

At press time, we tried to no avail to reach Madame Linda Nalova Esowe, hearing further that she left South west over night with other colleagues, as the sad incident occurred and her where about is unknown.

A horrible situation that has since left the population of the south west Region in deep pains and bewilderment.

Looking at the ugly face the liberation struggle has suddenly put up at the mercy of the economy and the security of it’s citizens with over a hundred thousand persons displaced.
