Residents woke up Monday August 13, 2018 to discover the devastating arson attack orchestrated in the night, which has left the only Bilingual High School on the area in ruins.

The administrative building was totally destroyed. It is not clear whether the attackers had a particular objective or who carried out the attack. But Pro-independence fighters have always been blamed by the government and Amnesty International for orchestrating such attacks, while the fighters have blamed the military for the acts.

They claim that most schools are heavily guarded by soldiers, wondering how such attacks could be carried out without the knowledge of the men in uniform.No party has claimed responsibility, as police open investigations.

Ghost Town Intensifies In Buea

The town of legendary hospitality, Buea is gradually becoming used to the ghost town imposed by pro-independence fighters as a form of civil disobedience towards the government of Cameroon in the ongoing Anglophone crisis.

Despite repeated calls by the town’s Mayor Patrick Ekema Esunge for locals to go about their activities every Monday, the town this August 13, 2018 witnessed another widely respected “ghost town”.

All shops were shut down, no Taxi in circulation while the Mile 17 motor park was dead silent.Though not opened, the Buea branch of Eco Bank Cameroon was visited by some unknown persons who used tones to break the board of the bank.

The ghost town Monday was also extended to Limbe, Kumbo, Kumba and other major towns in the two English speaking regions.
