Fru Jonathan says schools are sure to resume in Santa this Monday March 27 2017

Fru Jonathan last week in Santa assured the population that schools were sure to begin in Mezam II this Monday March 27 2017.

“We have been holding meetings with the Fons and all the traditional authorities; we have even been in touch with the religious authorities to explain to them what government has done. We are confident that they understand and we are confident that they are going to respect the declaration which they took. To set an example Militants of the CPDM have accepted that they will take their children to school on Monday” says Fru Jonathan.  

According to the CPDM die heart, Santa people in collaboration with the police, gendarmerie and the administration have overcome fear so there is nothing to worry about as far as sending children to school is concerned.

Fru Jonathan says “Santa has a mobilized group of young men called Santa Peace Force who have decided to go out and protect the population of Santa to ensure that nobody comes from outside to burn, to destroy, kidnap or to cause any problem to anyone. The population is confident because the peace force works with the gendarmerie, police and the administration and together they have succeeded to conquer fear.

On the other hand protesters of the ongoing North West and south west strike have demands to be met before schools can reopen.

“We have two conditions before schools can reopen; we need our internet installed back in the northwest and southwest regions and we demand for the unconditional release of all those who were arrested and taken to Yaounde” says a disgruntled protester. “If these two preliminary conditions are not met then the government is wasting its time” he adds.

The big question that lingers in the minds of many now is: For how long will the government and protesters continue this tug of war?
