Jonathan Awasom Dear friends
We must prevent genocide or civil war or any senseless form of bloodshed that are misguided against the innocent and powerless people of Southern Cameroons. At this time we need to pursue a diplomatic solution to the conflict between the Cameroon regime and the people of Southern Cameroons.
In my personal view the Consortium should stop the ghost towns and strikes which have prompted the brutal military forces of Dictator Paul Biya to torture and kill some of our fellow Southern Cameroonians. The regime of Mr. Paul Biya is also asked to stop the carnage and demilitarize Southern Cameroons , release Consortium leaders and political prisoners and restore internet to Southern Cameroons. The US state department had asked that both parties act with restrain and pursue dialogue.
The ghost towns and strikes do not affect the Anglophone elite and leadership across the region. The ghost towns and strikes seem to target innocent families and the education of children who are not responsible for adults fights. What lessons are children learning from the chest beating of adults who refused to talk and listen to one another constructively?
My question is why should anglophone children have to be victimized while Anglophone parliamentarians ,Ministers, Governors, Commissioners ,Generals and others are safe? The regime is going after youths and killing them. The political ,Religious and Traditional elites are not affected. Most of their children are safe overseas anyways.
So my question is why have the elite not come together to discuss and agree on a common cause of action to solve the anglophone crisis with the regime since they have supported and sustained it ?
If the UNO declares today that they would intervene and mediate would anglophone leaders be ready ? So my proposal is the same. Please Anglophone leaders come together and dialogue amongst yourselves and lead the people. The youths are angry. You are afraid of them and the regime. Is there no way out of the forest?
The Consortium does not have the military power to sustain ghost towns and strikes. I find it disgusting and terrible that children and families have become weapons and human shields to pursue dangerous actions that have proven to be deadly because adults are not humble enough to honestly consider ways of resolving their conflicts.
Four months ago we did not see this type of horrific photos of human rights abuse. This carnage took a nose dive after the Consortium walked away from the dialogue they called for.
That is the disconnect. When the ghost towns and strikes were very effective the first 48 hours,the brutal regime quickly bowed to the pressure to dialogue and resolve the conflict over marginalization.
I have observed with utmost pain and disgust that if the Consortium had stayed on the diplomatic path to continuously engage the brutal regime like a woman would engage and tame a wild lion,perhaps the dialgue would have evolved by now.
The radical actions of the Consortium to withdraw from an opportunity to explore diplomatic peace in exchange for political peace is definitely the cost of this carnage. A portracted ghost towns and strikes is a warfare. This is what many do not want to accept. They want to justify injustice and dehumanization of our people with actions that are not productive.
One thing leads to other. One reaction leads to a counter reaction. Civil disobdience is effective when it does not last for too long because it is supposed to be swift and directed to an intended target.
Right now there is outright war and carnage against Southern Cameroonians due to the ghost towns and strikes as well as some activities on social media that have led to internet blockage in the region of Southern Cameroons.
There is a disturbing kind of false optimism that is preached from the social media pulpit !
Oh no, you cannot feel the pain and misery of families undergoing the torture and carnage. So it is easy to order them to have hope and fight for a better future.
Well, how can anyone ask armless people to fight a totalitarian regime that has weapons? Any form of violence perpetrated on social media must never be encouraged.
These are my personal opinions and you may disagree.We in the diaspora and on social media should promote diplomatic peace and not political peace because we do not have weapons and soldiers to protect the people. So ,why would anyone expose our people to such deadly attacks from the regime?
Thank you
Jonathan Awasom
