Pre Dialogue Brainstorming Meeting In Bamenda: Root Causes, Cease Fire, Amnesty, Form Of State Dominate Talks.

By Raymond Dingana.
In order for the North West Region of Cameroon to better prepare for the upcoming dialogue, the governor of the North West Region last September 21, 2019 organized a pre dialogue brainstorming meeting that brought together participants from all walks of life at the MINEPAT hall Up Station, Bamenda. Many of those who answered present at the meeting suggested that, for the dialogue to bear any meaningful fruits, the root causes should be looked in to, all those arrested as a result of the crises be granted amnesty, a cease fire be declared, power alternation between Francophones and Anglophones, the form of the state be discussed, decentralization not a solution to the Anglophone crises, English and French be given equal status, independent judicial system among others should be given pride of place.
One of those who attended the brainstorming meeting was the Auxiliary Bishop of Bamenda, His Lordship Michael Bibi. He says: “For the dialogue to be successful, it will entail that we be truthful, sincere, look at the root causes in order to arrive at a lasting solution to the problem so that what we are experiencing now should never repeat itself again.  Amba fighters and the military should change their approach, to respect human life and the dignity that goes with human life. The proper people controlling the boys on the ground based in the Diaspora be met and back home, even those who have been in prison because of the crises, be granted amnesty so that the reconciliation  process can take place for  peace to return in the NW/SW regions of Cameroon
Adolph LeLe L’afrigue, is NW governor. He says: “The people are of the opinion that dialogue should be the solution to bring back peace to the region and that they should be well represented and their message should be carried to the appropriate quarters”.
The governor also addressed the worries of those questioning the objectivity of the chair person of the dialogue by saying that: “A dialogue is well when it is well prepared. From the education i am observing, if we are quite sure that the dialogue will be well prepared in the NWR, i am quite sure that the outcome will meet the expectations of the people of the NWR”.
Many also used the meeting to decry other aspects of national life that are also sick. A trader asked the question as to why with the thousands of soldiers in Bamenda and its environs, their shops are coming under attack on a daily basis.
A commercial bike riders and a driver say they are facing a lot of challenges from both the military and the pro independence fighters. They also said the military is helping to enforce ghost town operations by extorting huge sums from them and other poor treatments meted on them by the military. They say such moves only help to discourage them from coming out on such days thereby enforcing ghost town operations.
According to a traditional ruler from a village in Santa sub division, many delegations have left Yaounde to Bamenda only to go back and tell Paul Biya that there is no problem. He also said, the military has to change its approach and be friendly with the people saying they are supposed to protect lifes and properties.
 Ndi Tsembom Elvis Jr. is FECAFOOT SG for the North West. He decried the lack of football pitches in the region. He says the NWR doesn’t deserve just a single pitch and that, football pitches are needed in all seven divisions for the professional league to be what it’s supposed to be.
Tim is a journalist. He decried the fact that, because some journalists have phone numbers of some top military officials of the region, they call them and fabricate stories for colleagues to be arrested. He also said some military officials are making huge gains from the crises, reasons why they will never say the truth because they don’t want the crises to end.
The population is now anxiously waiting to know those that will be representing them on the dialogue table while hoping that, the dialogue will end the Anglophone crises.
