Why is the world silent over Anglophone Cameroon while men, women, and children are killed in the most gruesome manner – shot, hacked, sometimes burnt alive in their homes just because they seek equality?
Why will Facebook, Twitter, and other social media platforms not allow some of
these shocking videos and photos to be posted for the world to see how some of
our African compatriots are being brutalized? Why does France and the rest of
the world look the other way when it suits their selfish interests? How many
more are going to die in the quest for parity in Southern Cameroons?

What’s happening to CNN, Aljazeera, BBC et al that they cannot keep an eye on
what is going on? Or when they do, it is so downplayed and underreported as the
BBC did a couple of days ago (when 22 people including children were burnt to
death) it lacks the seriousness and detail necessary to prick the international
conscience.
How can the US, the UK, and their Western allies watch Macron’s beast do this to
English speaking Cameroonians? Considering that France is on the ground with
its own troops in Mali, what prevents Macron from stopping this brutality, this
atrocity in Cameroon? Should it surprise Europeans why Africans would risk their
lives to escape being hacked shot or trapped and burnt alive from their
colonies?
What about the African Union? If we are so powerless to act, can’t we at the
very least condemn this mindless savagery by President Paul Biya? How can we
live with the thought of human beings being surrounded with guns and lighted up
to burn, roasted alive? Why?
The time has come to put an end to this modern-day barbarism. Enough of paying lip
service to the Southern Cameroons problem. All people and countries of
conscience must rise up and seek an urgent intervention to stop the mayhem! –
