Female political leader, Kah Walla has blamed the government of Cameroon for intensifying the ongoing Anglophone crisis through provocative actions and speeches, that send separatists wild.
She was talking on The Inside, over Equinoxe TV this Sunday May 12, where she criticised Prime Minister Dion Ngute for revealing that the government was ready for dialogue, but with secession out of the table.
“I am someone who believes in United Cameroon but for peace to return, discussion must be with those asking for Secession. If you say secession is not on agenda, who then are you going to dialogue with”, questioned Kah Walla
The Stand Up For Cameroon(SUFC) activist said the ongoing violence would have been controlled, if government didn’t initiate violence. Kah Walla and her movement have been at government’s neck on several occasions to push these officials to end injustices in the country and stop embezzlement, amongst other ills. They have been arrested severally but it didn’t stop her crew to hold its regular Black Friday campaign against these injustices.
Recently she was threatened by some separatists for accusing them of sharing responsibilities of human rights violations in the English speaking regions. She blamed Amba boys for carrying out violent acts against same population, they claimed they were protecting.
On the interview over Equinoxe, Kah Walla was reacting to Prime Minister, Dion Ngute's visit to the Anglophone regions, where he took along a message of peace and said President Paul Biya was ready to dialogue but not on secession.
“Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute put up a show in Bamenda which was not directed to solving the crisis, it was directed to the International Community which has been mounting pressure on the regime”.
She regretted that many had died in a war, several property destroyed and many displaced, which could have been controlled if the country’s governance system, wasn’t disastrous. She testified that most people seeking secession came from the fact that they have been leaving in Cameroon for the past 60 years as second class citizens.
She further stressed on the importance for a ceasefire, which to her remains a prerequisite for dialogue.
Kah Walla in her recent outings has accused the government of misappropriating funds meant for the African Cup of Nations 2019, as well as violent actions which has led to the loss of lives in the Anglophone regions. To her, the United Nations Security council can impact a quick solution to the current crisis, by imposing a travel ban, seizure of assets of Cameroonian authorities.
