Officials of the Kondengui Maximum Security Prison in Yaounde have come under intense pressure from a network of human rights activists in Central Africa.

The prison officials are now sweating under the ire of the activists after searching the cells of the Anglophone detainees; confiscated their telephones and stole their money.

 Those whose cells were searched are Barrister Agbor Balla, Dr. Fontem Neba, Harissou Aboubakar Sidiki, Marafa Hamidou Yaya, the Mayor of Fotokol, Ramat Moussa, who are all accused of plotting against the State and collaborating with Boko Haram respectively.

After searching, seizing and stealing money from the detainees’ cells on the instruction of the Superintendent of the Kondengui Central Prison, Senguena Abada Selestin, the detainees were equally barred from receiving any visitor until further notice.

According to the human rights activists, such decision is a gross violation of article 5 of the African Charter on Human and People’s Rights.

The article provides for the respect of human dignity and prohibits the moral and physical torture of human persons.

The act of the prison authorities also violates article 7 of the international pact relating to civil and political rights.

The human rights activists are asking the Biya Government to release all Anglophones, arrested in the North West and South West Regions in the wake of the political and socio-economic upheavals in the two Regions before things get out of control.

Many peace crusaders and international organisations like the United Nations have called on Government to release all those detained in connection with the Anglophone Problem so as to pave the way for appeasement, national dialogue and reconciliation. Government is yet to react to the avalanche of calls.

The Minister of Communication Issa Tchiroma, is back again to assist the 84-year old arbitrary Cameroon ruler, in the showering of unconsoling condolences on the petrified Northern Region of the country.

Following the recent suicide bomb attack in the Waza locality of the Far North Region, in which 16 deaths and over 30 injured people were recorded, a communiqué was released by the Communication Minister, which acted as the mouth piece of the dumb president who has to muster courage before he even speaks publicly on the last day of the year (31 December) and the Youth day eve (10 May).

Instead of going to the North as he should have gone to the English-speaking parts of the country to speak to his people and show that he is really concerned, he rather uses his communication puppet to extend weary condolences "the President of the Republic sends his condolences to victims...congratulates our armed forces as well as the vigilante groups for the work they are doing against the enemy" section of communiqué reads.

His hailing of the armed forces is even more than the condolences, which do nothing but add pain.

 Cameroon's dictator Mr Paul Biya intends to strengthen the longstanding colonial relationship between his country and France. This time around through a congratulatory letter to newly elected French president, Emmanuel Macron on the occasion of the celebration of their National day on 14 July 2017.

This comes after rumours had had it that, preparations for an eventual reception of Paul Biya at the Elysee palace in France were already initiated.

He took his time in the telegraph, making sure he chose the right convincing words "I am immensely honoured to extend my warmest congratulations to you on this day of the celebration of your National day, 14 July 2017. I equally wish you prosperity and success in all of your endeavours. 

Let me take this as an opportunity to reiterate my ever availability to you in any instance which will strengthen ties between our two Nations" the gangster leader beckons.

The French president since his ascension to power, has met with several African Heads of States among which are, Alassane Ouattara of the Ivory Coast and Macky Sall of Senegal.

The population of Lebialem yesterday boycotted the Installation ceremony of a newly appointed S.D.O. for Lebialem Division in Menji; this to the embarrassment of the Governor of the South West Region Bernard Okalia Bilai who came in person to install the newly appointed administrator.The installation ceremony was delayed due to the partial destruction of the Grand Stand earlier yesterday night by men of the underworld who used a locally fabricated bomb to explode the structure.

Reports say that only 16 members of a traditional dance group hailing from the village of origin of the newly appointed official were present at the installation ceremony alongside dignitaries.

Locals of Lebialem have rubbished the installation ceremony saying enough is enough; that they have been neglected by the Cameroon Government as though they were not part of Cameroon. Bad roads and lack of basic facilities were at the helm of the boycott according to inhabitants.It is worth noting here that earlier on his journey to Menji the Governor’s car got stuck in the muddy trenches that lead to the Lebialem Capital. His vehicle had to be pulled out of the mud by another vehicle.

The Governor in his speech condemned the attitude of the inhabitants of the locality and mentioned in his speech the following: “although some people thought that the installation will not take place, I am here and the installation must take place.

Today the Governor is expected to preside over the Installation Ceremony of the Senior Divisional Officer of Kupe Manenguba.

Reliable sources have disclosed that the retired chief Justice Ayah Paul released a letter in which he stated clearly that the Minister of Justice and keeper of the seals Laurent Esso tried to kill him himself.

“My life is in the Hands of the Minister of Justice and keeper of the seals with his accomplices.

I have been keeping this to myself and my family for a very long time now. It has to be revealed to the Cameroonian public and the world so that they know the plotters behind my misfortune. Honourable Igbele is behind a couple of machinations sponsored by a black cabinet led by Laurent Esso who has as objective to eliminate me.

One of their plans was to isolate me in special cell where I would be alone so that they can eliminate me silently but it hasn’t worked till today thanks to the social media and the world who are aware of everything that is happening to me here. For over 170 days that I have been here, my only problem is poor health and maybe some little abnormalities in my sight.

At the age of 67, I don’t have an internal toilet in my cell neither do I have direct access to toilets as from 10pm-6am. Every Cameroonian should know that my life is in the hands of Laurent Esso and his team. They should equally know that I have a big and all powerful God who will never abandon me. I thank him” extracts of the letter read.

Brain washing or having a sense /feeling of recognition by La Republique determine those who now push and cry that schools reopen . LR has convinced the brainwashed by telling them that," Those who say schools be shut down are all abroad and their own children in schools while we stay home in Cameroon and receive all negative consequences of children not going to school". This statement is brainwashing because education is not necessarily about schooling. Workshops are better placed in the present situation of the country than rushing to obtain certificates that neither give us clear cut skills to compete nationally and internationally. This type of education is only useful for those with godfathers who will give such youths/citizens fake certificates, fake recruitments into government offices and higher schools of learning and this outcome is a fake society . It is not uncommon to see a medical doctors from the said schools butcher patients in hospitals. The teachers in teaching, teach " wrong stuff" . Etc. The brainwashed Southern Cameroonian does not see that, all about schools reopening is for LR's advantage only. How many children of peasant farmers are in ENS, EMIA, ENAM etc.? You must have a godfather to cross. SO WHY RUSH CHILDREN TO SCHOOLS today so that tomorrow they beg for dresses and shoes from you as graduates? We are helping LR to go ahead with corruption, embezzlement, annexation and all other societal ills including the selling of the future of our children by buying their deceitful brainwashing ideas. Why do we not open our workshops at all angles and give children skills that will help them to be independent financially at early stages of life so that they can return to formal education later while we handle this rubbish?

PARENTAL ROLE MODELLING

Play a good role in parental counseling. Can your child look and copy your life style and even call you their role model? In other words are you a good parent? Or are you a parent with La Republique blood flowing in you or are you helping in bringing up these children in God' s principles? Are you comfortable with your LR connections so that the rest of our children may rut in jail, poverty and servitude while yours continue to foster the tribe of privileged slaves?

Those who are asking you to send children to schools have their children pampered by our endowed natural resources and your tax money. For some time now, they have received no money from the physical stamps etc we buy .This money always ends up in individual pockets. When you assess the number of children deceived to write ENS a year and the amount each student pays before writing the exam, multiplied by total number of students who write the exams and adding to the total number of exams launched each year, then you will see why they are preaching the song for schools to reopen. These exams are announced when the list of those to enter the schools had already been compiled with each candidate handing in heavy envelopes for LR circles to share. When we get back our land it will certainly not be a problem taking care of the teachers who were not paid during the period of crisis.

Our children have a right to decent education, meaningful and purposeful education. You have a right to good health insurance considering the natural resources we have. Everybody has the right to enjoy a certain percentage of these resources. It is every parent's dream to endow their children, both with a good education and a thriving economic legacy. Good parents don't only want to leave behind an inheritance for their children, they think of their grand children as well. Let us not be a penny wise and a pound foolish.

What if churches and school proprietors call us to send children to school? These are businesses and they are under pressure. This is because, they are trying to come out of the heat LR is putting on them. But know that if we say no, they will not enter our homes. What do you say about those in prison and those who have died, those in exile? Where is your steadfast contribution as an individual or community?

Why do they say there is dialogue yet those who spoke the truth and asked for dialogue are in prisons? Well let us know the fact and the truth; if our parents had done their assignment, we most certainly won't be here. Shall we look at our children and allow the fear of hunger defeat our good reason? Are we able to stare them in the face and tell them:
"Dear children, we are sorry, you will have to handle this situation on your own when we are gone?"
Dear good parents, let your conscience guide you.
