Jean Tsomelou, Senator
from the West Region and President of the SDF Parliamentary Group speaking

Among other things
he said they listened to the reports of some Regional Presidents and asked them
to go back into the field and redynamise the party at the level of the Basic
Organs and that they’d brought back SDF Echoes; the party Newspaper into
circulation.
Reacting to
problems of the party in the Centre
Region, and other related issues, he said problems in the center Region were
not more than those in the Littoral and that decisions were being taken that
will ensure that electoral processes go on smoothly in the problem regions such
as the Center as well as the Adamawa and the South Regions.
“For us there are no
problems as far as the activities of our party are concerned in the field. It
is simply that in every house there are always problems. Our elections will
sail through calmly. If you look at the Littoral Region that they were talking
about so much, you will see that nothing is being talked about it today. This
is because after the elections, the minority respected the majority and the
majority did not suppress the minority. This is democracy and it is helping to
prepare our upcoming electoral processes.”
Senator Hamman Paul From the Adamawa Region |
Speaking about
Honorable Wirba, he said SDF had no problems with him and that questions about
the party having problems with Wirba should be thrown at those insinuating
such. The President of the SDF Parliamentary group said questions should rather
be thrown at the CPDM obliging them to explain what problems they have with
people of the Northwest and the Southwest Regions. “Because it is inadmissible
that a warrant of arrest be issued for a Member of Parliament so the best
person to answer questions on problems in that direction is not found in the
SDF party.”
Senator Hamman Paul
from the Adamawa Region and Secretary of the SDF Senate group on his part said
reports of the day came in mainly from the Adamawa, the Centre, the South and
the Littoral. Most of the deliberations he said were centered on improving upon
the life of the party. Commenting on the non participation of the party at the
May 20 Celebrations, he said the decision was taken by the strategy Committee
and called on Government to look at problems plaguing Anglophones in Cameroon
adding that since November 2016 the SDF had called on Government to engage in
sincere dialogue with the people who were looking for solutions to their
various problems.

Nkemlemo Denis of
the Communication Committee said attention was also given to the incessant
kidnapping and abduction of people who are taken to Yaounde and
indiscriminately charged on crimes ranging from Terrorism and crimes against
the State which merit death penalty. He further said the return of SDF Echoes
on the Newsstands was not to rival the other papers but to serve as a source of
authentic information about the Social Democratic Front. He also drew attention
to the fact that while much attention was being drawn by the SDF’s non
participation at the May 20 celebrattions it should also be noted that the
party did not also celebrate it 27th anniversary which was supposed to
take place on May 26.

Other sources have
also revealed that on the day SDF was supposed to be celebrating its 27th
anniversary, the city of Bamenda saw heavy military presence along the
Commercial Avenue and CPDM Bigwigs of the Northwest Region shepherded by Professor
Elvis Ngole Ngole stormed the Congress Hall where a working session was held
relating to the activities of the CPDM Academy; the brain child of Professor
Elvis Ngole Ngole.
