The massive turn out was a relief to the Senior Divisional Officer and he told them about the need for Peace to return to the two English speaking regions of Cameroon.
"Tell your brothers in the bush that the time to leave the bushes have come,after the Major National Dialogue, we must understand that it is time for us to reconcile ourselves as one people,one state and again war is not good,it must stop. They should leave the bush without fear,with their guns and be reintegrated in society by returning to their local business". The Senior Divisional officer said.
The Sub-Director of Civil Protection, Mr Tchounte Gilbert, in charge of distribution visited the cordination centre in Bamenda few days before distribution of aid, to ensure that recipients are informed to come and get their items consisting of blankets, rice, savon, spaghetti, tin tomatoes, buckets and a token of ten thousand francs for transportation.
Though the IDPs were happy, some of them expressed regrets for not receiving a mattrass which to them was the most essential. Miss Neba Shella displaced from Bafut,is grateful for the items she receives.
"I am happy to have received some items,because I didn't buy them and for me they are free gifts.Though I had expected to get a matrass,I just believe when the matrass is available we will get them"She said.

"For the past 2months,we do distribution on a weekly basis to over 400 families,who register with some document and explain their situation.We have a data which indicates the persons we need to serve at every distribution and for the issue of matrass,we provide them to displaced families with priority,especially for those who are about 10 in a household, and again when the matrass are available we share them out".Mr Anchang Paul tells the Press.
The Humanitarian aid distribution has been an ongoing exercise in the NorthWest Region for the past 2months and displaced persons register at the cordination centre Mondays to Friday.

By Stephen Ojang The Senior Divisional Officer for Menchum Division, Abdoullahi Aliou, has reinstated the clean up campaigns in order to salvage the battered image of villages and towns in Menchum Division. This move is contained in a circular addressed to traditional rulers, Ardos, quarter heads, religious leaders, youths and vigilante groups as well as the entire population. The circular that was signed on December 12th 2019, was handwritten, as a result of the more than six months blackout that this division has witnessed.
