Radical Mbororo militants backed by Cameroon government army soldiers have attack the Ghidze community in Wum in Menchum Division causing several women and children to flee as violence and death continue to increase in Southern Cameroons.

Cameroon Concord News gathered that elements of the Rapid Intervention Battalion (BIR) and the Mbororo militants reportedly set fire on homes and looted property following a confrontation with Ambazonia Revolutionary Guards. An old business man and owner of Android City Bar was killed and his business consumed by the blaze.

Ever since the war started in 2016, the Mbororos in Wum who hail from French Cameroun have been collaborating with Cameroon government soldiers and carrying out xenophobic attacks against the indigenous Aghem people.

“The Mbororos grazed their cattles inside indigenous Aghem farms and now move around Wum with sophisticated weapons” a source in Wum hinted our correspondent.

The Biya Francophone regime has continued to face sharp criticisms and strong accusations of culpability and complicity in the killings throughout Southern Cameroons.

“Troops loyal to the regime in Yaounde deployed to Menchum Division have so fumbled and compromised that they hardly intervene when the indigenous people are in danger of threats or attacks, but only emerge after such attacks to arrest and frame up the same population threatened or attacked” a retired civil servant who sued for anonimity told Cameroon Concord News.

The Vice President of the Southern Cameroons Interim Government, Dabney Yerima says the Ambazonia people’s efforts to achieve independence from a funny colonial arrangment is uncompromisable.

Urging Ambazonia Revolutionary Guards to continue to counter the French-backed French Cameroun aggression in a speech via video conference on the killing of primary school pupil in Buea on Monday, the exiled Southern Cameroons leader said the people of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia are inspired by the life of their jailed leaders and enlightened by their guidance in the pursuit of putting an end to La Republique du Cameroun’s hegemony of arrogance.

He praised the crowds of Southern Cameroonians who took to the streets of Buea and other Southern Cameroons counties to denounce the presence of Francophone army soldiers in Southern Cameroons territory.

Yerima called on the people of Southern Cameroons to continue their efforts to confront the brutal French Cameroun aggression on Southern Cameroons women and children stressing that every Southern Cameroonian  is religiously obliged to confront the military with firmness until the war is stopped and the aggression and occupation end.

Vice President Dabney Yerima also pointed out that Ambazonian efforts to achieve independence is a holy war for the sake of God that will never be compromised.

The Biya Francophone regime launched a devastating war against the people of Southern Cameroons in 2016 to crush the Ambazonia resistance movement.

The war has failed to reach its goals, but it has killed thousands of Southern Cameroonians and put millions more at risk of starvation by destroying much of Southern Cameroons infrastructure.

The Chairman of the Cameroon Concord News Group has condemned the statement made public by the Biya Francophone regime on the murder of a primary school pupil in Buea, saying the 86-year-old Biya and his ruling CPDM crime syndicate outfit aims to stoke tensions in Southern Cameroons and plunge the two Cameroons into a civil war.

Soter Tarh Agbaw-Ebai made the comments last week to a cream of Southern Cameroons elites at The Hilton at St George’s Park, Burton Upon Trent in the United Kingdom.

The Concord Group chairman denounced the Yaounde Beti Ewondo regime, stressing that a French Cameroun gendarme committed the crime while Biya bears responsibility for the act.

“Dion Ngute, Paul Atanga Nji and his fake Amba Boys, and all those, who are involved in supporting Biya and the CPDM, are responsible for the blood that has been spilled,” Agbaw-Ebai added.

Soter Agbaw-Ebai furthered, “Biya’s job today is to create a state of internal tension that leads to civil war between French and British Southern Cameroons.”

The Concord chief political man added that the responsibility of the current Southern Cameroons Interim Government headed by Vice President Dabney Yerima is to protect Southern Cameroons citizens.

A gendarme officer is reported to have died from a mob action after he allegedly fired his gun killing a little schoolgirl.

The incident occurred on Thursday morning at a security checkpoint around the Divine Mercy Co-Cathedral in the city of Buea in South-West.

Although state authorities are yet to issue an official statement, open sources say the gendarmerie officer, lynched by a mob, had in an attempt to immobilize a car at a security checkpoint, shot and killed a three-year-old schoolgirl who was being accompanied to school by her parent.

Onlookers and passersby are said to have taken the laws into their hands. They were later joined by a thick crowd to administer mob justice on the suspect gendarme.

A video of the mob action that has gone viral shows policemen watching helplessly as the gendarme is stoned.

Before long, the situation degenerated into a popular protest as the irate crowd marched with the corpse of the little girl from Molyko to the Governor’s Office and back.

At the Governor’s Office, the crowd chanted songs demanding an end to security checkpoints that have been transformed into extortion posts.

“FCFA 500! FCFA 500,” they chanted, urging authorities to sanitize the security corps in the country plagued by corruption.

Some of the protesters claim the gendarme shot at the car, killing the schoolgirl, because the driver of the car failed to stop and offer a FCFA 500 (less than a dollar) bribe.

The Governor of the South-West Region, Okalia Bilai Bernard was on hand to receive the irate population.

The Governor called for calm, describing the situation as unfortunate.

“It is indeed a shocking incident. An innocent child has been killed. All of us are in shock. I want to assure you that those who did it, some are already in the hands of the law,” the Governor said.

Meanwhile, the remains of the little girl were displayed at Bongo’s Square in Clerks’ Quarters. A woman in an advanced age stripped naked to protest against brutality by security forces.

The headless corpse was paraded down to the esplanade of the Molyko Stadium, paralyzing traffic.

At press time, the road leading to the Molyko Stadium and the entire vicinity had been overtaken by a huge crowd. The stadium had been opened for the irate population and the Bishop of the Diocese of Buea, His Lordship Michael Bibi was about addressing the population.

Former U.S. Undersecretary of State for African Affairs has confirmed in a tweet that it was for a matter of 500 CFA francs that the young Southern Cameroons schoolgirl was coldly murdered by a Francophone  gendarme officer of Beti-Ewondo extraction.

The horrific murder of young Louise Ndialle in the morning of Thursday, October 14, 2021 in Buea the chief city in the South West is now causing a stir beyond Cameroon’s borders. Several  senior world citizeens and personalities were moved, including the American Tibor Nagy, the former U.S. Under Secretary of State for African Affairs.

The American diplomat reacted in a tweet on Thursday, October 14, and deplored the disappearance of the young schoolgirl, who was killed, according to him, by a gendarme, for a matter of 500 FCFA. For Tibor Nagy, the horror occurred because the girl (her mother) refused to pay the gendarme this amount.

“Does anyone doubt that the poor child killed in Cameroon by a gendarme was shot because they refused to pay a bribe of 500 CFA francs? Anyone on the roads of Cameroon encounters “electric gate” stops with great frequency. Shame on a government where corruption flows from all levels and kills!” tweeted Tibor Nagy.

Tibor Nagy, who has always focused on the armed conflict in Southern Cameroons, and who knows Cameroon inside out, also accuses the government of having maintained a reign of corruption, to the point where this scourge is now killing literally and figuratively.
