Cameroon: Classes still empty in the Anglophone regions despite PM’s call for school resumption
Despite the call made by the Prime Minster Philemon Yang in Bamenda on Monday 6th March 2017, classes are yet to resume in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon.
His call seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. Reports say that yesterday 7th march 2017 the supposedly reopening day, teachers were present in schools but not a single student was seen around.
This scenario has again casted a dark cloud on the path of Philemon Yang considering that this is not his first attempt.
It should be noted that this is the third time since November last that he is embarking on the same mission to the North West. He yesterday 7th march 2017 continued on his mission to Bui and Menchum Divisions of North West Region.
The question that comes to mind is: will schools resume effectively in the two Anglophone regions any time soon?
Of course the answer lies in how well the problem is handled by both the Government and other education stakeholders.
But one thing is sure. The present Anglophone behaviour seems to suggest that two wrongs don’t make a right; taking away their internet, militarization of Bamenda, arresting and abducting activists, will only make things worse.
