Nnoko Mbele Claims Non Natives
Perpetuated Violence and Looting Kumba |
|
Calm has returned to Cameroon's streets but the scars of four
days of violent anti-government riots are visible everywhere.
An eerie silence encapsulates the atmosphere everywhere and
one is tempted to ask; what next? How does the government plan
to recover from the devastation of its spinal cord? Certainly
there is going to be no more talk about amending the
constitution.

Global Conscience's international intern, Niamh Brown from
Ireland lived four horrible days of violent anti government
protests in Kumba, Cameroon. She experienced a bit of
harassment from soldiers brought in to protect the court
premises across from the Global Conscience office, and
recorded each day her experience. She will live this
experience for the rest of her life, she said.

Global
Conscience has said the closure of Cameroon's Equinox TV
station by the country's communication minister is to
persecute the station for its openness to discussions on the
amendment of certain provisions of the Cameroon Constitution
that most Cameroonians seem opposed to.

The families of
two students shot in Kumba during a student protest last
November are yet to receive any compensations from Government
after government lobbied them to bury their children without
ceremony. Global Conscience has assisted the families to file
complaints in the legal department in Kumba, but
investigations are yet to be opened into the arbitrary
killings. Global Conscience has petitioned the Southwest
governor of the killing of students in Buea University and in
Kumba and is planning to take the matter to the African
commission in the event the Cameroon government denies the
bereaved families access to justice.
