Senators from the two
Engish speaking regions of Cameroon have expressed a firm resolve to bluntly
spell out the crying and dying among Cameroonians in the North West and South West
Regions. This stance was most perfectly spelled out in the words of Senator
Kinyan Nyang Georges, one of the seven SDF Senators who wore senatorial sashes
on Wednesday May 2. Hear him, “we will be blunt in the way we tell the world
that people are crying and dying in the North West and South West Regions of
Cameroon.” He was speaking recently in Yaounde shortly after the sash wearing
ceremony.

A cross section of senators
from the NW and SW irrespective of their party lines have acknowledged the
terrible twist the Anglophone Crises have taken and have promised to use the
senate as a medium to draw attention to the problem.
The young Senator from Bui Division, Barrister
Nyang Kinyang Georges of the SDF said “at the moment we have tears in our eyes
and the challenge is so big. I know that this mandate that God has given is for
me to make a contribution to the Senate of this nation, a contribution that is
based on justice to fight corruption in this country. Mine will be a
contribution that will be geared towards putting food on every table and one
that will wipe tears from the eyes of my brothers and sisters of the Northwest
and Southwest Regions. We believe strongly that God will grant the Head of
state wisdom and the will to stand this challenge and solve this problem once
and for all to make us live as one and as brothers and sisters.”

Senator Barrister
Ngam Honore from Boyo Division said it was rather unfortunate that the crises
kept escalating despite calls for inclusive dialogue which is yet to take
place. “I don’t know why our government is so resistant to dialogue because
dialogue is inherent in our African Culture. If you look at our traditions,
people used to gather under the trees to discuss village problems. That’s why I
am so embarrassed that our government is so resistant to dialogue. I just want
to seize this opportunity to say that dialogue is unavoidable and without it
there will be no way forward to achieve peace in our country.”
Senator Nkeze Emilia
who was elected 3rd Vice President of the Senate and was List Head of the SDF doesn’t deviate in any
way from the general trend of promises and proposed ideas of her peers. This
lady who in the words of Hon. Audu Mbaya Victor is specially marked out for
leadership assembled thousands of Cameroonians from different parts of the
country and symbolically reached out to them with her warmth and message of love
as the way forward for Cameroonians.
Senator Mbella Moki
Charles of the CPDM from Fako regretted the state of affairs in the South West
and North West Regions and reiterated the need for an all inclusive dialogue to
sort out the quagmire. Any peaceful and long lasting solution could only come
through dialogue between all concerned parties. It was high time he insinuated
that such an encounter takes place.
Another senator and
house hold name from the Northwest Region Regina Mundi of the Cameroon Peoples
Democratic Movement CPDM and one of those appointed by H.E. President Paul Biya
said “If we put our hands together and work in peace for the development of our
Regions then things will work. We can achieve a lot. There is work ahead and it’s
not a joking period. Maybe we have been relaxing but the real work is beginning
now.”
