AGC submits pre-dialogue proposals to Government Twitter
+Christian Wiyghan Tumi, Cardinal Priest and Emeritus Archbishop of Douala has along with other convenors of the Anglophone General Conference, AGC, submitted a 400-page document to the Prime Minister, Head of Government ahead of this month-end’s Major National Dialogue.
PM Dion Ngute Joseph received the Tumi-led delegation at the Star Building Thursday, September 19, 2019 within the context of consultations ahead of the Major National Dialogue aimed at resolving the crisis in Cameroon’s North West and South West Regions.
The AGC consists of different leaders of various religious denominations in Cameroon, mainly Islam, the Roman Catholic Church, the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, PCC, the Cameroon Baptist Convention, and the Full Gospel Mission among other stakeholders. They all accompanied the Cardinal to the Star Building.
Originally planned for September 2018, the AGC was later on postponed by the conveners who said it was best holding it after the October 7 Presidential elections last year. But since after the presidential elections, government failed to give its go-ahead for the conference to hold.
The Confab, according to the Religious Leaders who dominate the Organizing Committee, was to propose long lasting solutions to the Anglophone crisis that has been rocking the two English speaking Regions of Cameroon since 2016.
The conference grasped the attention of the international community, during the UN Human Right Commission general assembly in September 2018. The New Commissioner, Michelle Bachelet, while slamming the Cameroon military and restoration fighters over gross violation of Human rights in the deepening Anglophone crisis, accused the government of Cameroon saying it has not done enough to promote the conference planned by the religious leaders. Government still failed to let the confab hold.
The 400-page document handed to the Head of Government is said to be a compilation of the views of a wide spectrum of Anglophones who were consulted at home and in the diaspora. The opinions of separatists among others are also taken into account. In fact, the AGC sent out a questionnaire and hundreds of people reacted over the world and the result is summarized in the book handed to Dion Ngute, Prime Minister, Head of Government, and Chairman of the Major National Dialogue.
