In
a strongly worded communiqué from the Noni Development and Cultural Association
NODECA, signed by its National President Senator/Barrister Kinyang George, Noni
people both at home and out have been invited to exercise their rights of self
defence in a bid to rid the land of “untold wave of violence, destruction and
summary executions being carried out by some groups in Noni.” The Noni
Subdivision is located in Bui Division in the Northwest Region. This release
runs as follows;
“We,
the Noni Development and Cultural Association- NODECA (Nshíí Nooné) at home and
abroad use this opportunity to strongly condemn the recurrent untold wave of
violence, destruction and summary executions being carried out by some armed
groups in our hospitable land.
Our
land, people, culture and traditions have always been clothed with the garments
of peace, love, togetherness and development but strange intoxications and
persons from other areas have infilterated our land, and with the use of their
weapons and destructive doctrines coerced our humble non-belligerent people
into a system of hate, fear, disunity, unproductivity, loss of harmony,
destruction and loss of lives. These brutal killings include amongst many
others; that of our young athletic flame-bearer and trainer of mount Cameroon
race Champions: Mr. Tata Eric. All these are further worsened by the non
circulation of cars in and out of the Noni sub Division for almost a year thus
causing undue suffering and hardship to a peasant population, and increase of
deaths of innocent sick children, pregnant women, the old, and others who can't
get to the hospital because of road blocks and harassment of transporters.
Pursuant
to the recent summary executions of these past weeks (which are not by the
Cameroon Defence Forces) and the most recent being in Kochi-Nkor, we the Noni
people say enough is enough. We ask for all these exactions on the population
to stop with immediate effect, failure of which we have undertaken to employ
every means to lawfully defend ourselves from these evil forces, and shall go
to every end to restore the emblematic peace and happiness that is
characteristic to us. We are ready to aggressively defend ourselves from a
situation we never invited.
We
therefore call on all Nonians at home and out to courageously exercise their
right of self defence and to purge our land of these denizens and their fellow
Noni accomplices. We now have all your names and know your families.”
Shortly after the above release, Senator
Kinyang George further announced the holding of a Noni General Assembly to
discuss security and development issues of the Noni Subdivision. This move the
National President explained comes after overwhelming pressure from Noni sons
and daughters. As a result, an organizing committee in the build up to this
General Assembly has been named. This committee is made up of Ms. Nforya
Immaculate, BarristTamfu Dimla, Mr. Nsabinla Mathias, Mr. Mabu Nfinyo and Shey
Samali Vincent. They are charged with getting a venue and date for the meeting,
mobilizing funds for logistics, entertainment, security, lodging and obtention
of administrative permission for the holding of the General Assembly.
This
move has been dominantly acclaimed as the best possible step towards making
sure that things return to normal in Noni Subdivision.
