Bamenda: Fru Ndi rubbishes Yang’s NW Peace Tour, says he should stop ridiculing himself

The just ended failed Philemon Yang’s Peace Tour has attracted a lot of criticisms from critics and politicians in Cameroon and the diaspora. This is the third time the PM is failing to restore peace in the Anglophone region of Cameroon. In his messages he ceaselessly stressed the fact that parents should send their children to school, a plea that failed before his own very eyes.

 “I thought the struggle shifted from a teacher/lawyer issue to the entire southern Cameroon people's struggle. He is still making it sound like it’s still the teachers’/lawyers’ affair” says a Bamenda critic.
"I learned that the Prime Minister was in the city. He did not invite me it is not by force that teachers and students will return to classrooms. They expected the head of the government to come and talk to them and ask for what they wanted. He did not do that. He came to tell them what to do.This is not the way to go. He should stop ridiculing himself. The Government must engage in frank dialogue" says Ni John Fru Ndi, SDF party Chairman.

This overnight headstrong behaviour of his countrymen seems to reveal that a wrong “medication” was administered to remedy the “ailment”. It also suggests that the government has not been a government for the people and as a result, they are now demanding for the Anglophone problem as a whole to be solved and sending their children to school will not help in solving this.

This may just be an opportunity for the government to re-strategize and organize an open dialogue with Anglophones in a bid to come up with lasting solutions to the Anglophone problem or else it may just be another dawn for a new Anglophone Revolution in Cameroon.
