DIFFERENT AMBAZONIAN GROUPS OF NDONGA MANTUNG IN THE DIASPORA RAISE 34 million FOR ARMS
The editorial staff of scop4.com has just learned from concordant sources that the Ambazonians of Ndonga mantum (North-West) have raised 33,518,527.50 million FCFA to finance separatism.
These funds were collected by fundraising which is a process of soliciting and collecting funds in the form of donations from individuals, companies, foundations or government agencies.
The objective is to mobilize private resources in the service of organizations and causes of general interest. It generally applies to a non-profit organization or a political party.
“Since October 2017, Cameroon has been in the throes of a deadly conflict between the army and the separatist forces of the two English-speaking regions of the North West and South West. Its origins date back to the colonization of this country by the French and British governments.
After a referendum organized by the United Nations on February 11, 1961, their inhabitants opted for “reunification” with French Cameroon on October 1, 1961.
But all did not go well after this reunification. The two English-speaking regions, which represent around 20% of the population, have repeatedly complained of discrimination and exclusion. Protests held throughout 2016 in the English-speaking regions of Cameroon escalated into civil war in 2017.
Almost five years later, the conflict continues to rage. According to recent estimates, it has already caused the death of more than 4,000 civilians and the displacement of more than 712,000 people inside the English-speaking regions. More than 1.3 million people need humanitarian assistance.
President Paul Biya , who has ruled Cameroon since 1982, says he is determined to continue this futile war against separatist groups, which he describes as “terrorists”. Unfortunately, to date, there is no clear and credible agenda for negotiations, which makes peace and reconciliation problematic. It is clear, however, that the grievances of Anglophones run deep and have long gone unaddressed, reports theconversation.com.
With these funds collected, the scheme Paul Biya has a concern.
