CHAMECC ORGANISES A ONE DAY WORKSHOP; REVEALS FINDINGS ON THE IMPACT OF THE ANGLOPHONE CRISIS ON THE POPULATION OF THE NWR.

 

After a survey carried out to situate the population of Bamenda one, two and three, perception and attitude towards Peacebuilding and human rights in the context of the Anglophone crisis, a data has been released by Charmers Media and Communication Consults CHAMECC, to over 30 individuals in the presence of the Delegate of women's empowerment for the North West Region, with the purpose of recommendations that can bring lasting peace to the region.

 

 As stated by Mr. Nji Blasius, founder of CHAMECC while giving a brief presentation on the background of the project to participants, he said "The survey falls under a one year project. We had to carry out a series of activities like radio program, publications and now surveys to get the impact of the crisis on the population. We trained ten volunteers to administer questionnaires in Bamenda 1, 2, and three for a month. The aim of this project was to get the opinions of people at the Grassroots and use the data to find out different strategies we can use to bring peace in the North West".

Some of the findings were based on the causes of the crisis with bad governance which took the highest percentage 24%, if women should be involved in Peace building which gave an 86%, youth's 80% of those who suffer most pertaining to the crisis and many others.

 After the presentation of the data, Some Participants thanked CHAMECC for the job well done but also raised concerns on whether this data will be directed to the government.  However Mr. Nji said it will be sent to their sponsors because they will have more access to the government.  Some recommendations to solve the crisis were made by participants using the data presented with some directed to the government and others to the Civil Societies and the media.

Carey Pride a participant appreciated the findings presented and hopes it serves its purpose of bringing peace to the region.

 "I think the workshop was good, at least it shows that there are people out there who still think about this region. I hope it doesn’t just end here and on paper .These statistics should be used to sort out peaceful and lasting solutions to the crisis"

  With the crisis still affecting people in the Grassroots socially and economically, they reiterated that sometimes information given is not the reality on the field and "These survey is going to those we think will know the right doors to give the information which might be used to our advantage.”

 As the crisis continue to cripple the region in different dimensions, one can only hope that the findings will yield fruits.

CAMAIR-CO PLANE FIRED AT BY NON-STATE ARMED GROUPS.

Southern Cameroonian fighters have fired at a Camairco plane in Bamenda, as the airliner was about to land at the Bamenda airport. The airliner, which has been grounded in Bamenda, took some bullets and will not be flying for sometime. The incident that occurred today December 1st 2109 is a clear indication that the Southern Cameroons crisis is far from over despite the optimism generated by the Major National Dialogue held in Yaounde in October 2019. Camairco is now among other state corporations which have been affected by the crisis. PAMOL, CDC, and SONARA have been hit hard by the crisis and this is a severe blow to the cash-strapped Yaounde government that is still hoping that time will help solve a problem that has become a millstone around its neck.
