Protests spread in Cameroon Anglophone regions as Biya addresses UN africanews.com Sep 22, 2017 3:24 PM Thousands of demonstrators in several Cameroon English-speaking towns marched through the streets on Friday in protest against the continuous detention of some of the inhabitants of the regions and independence from French Cameroon. Protests spread in Cameroon Anglophone regions as Biya addresses UN The demonstrations in the North-West and South-West Regions come at the time when President Paul Biya was addressing the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The demonstrations started in Bamenda in the North-West Region on Friday morning despite a ban on movement of persons imposed on Thursday night by the region’s Governor Adolphe Lele Lafrique following a bomb attack on Thursday that injured three police officers.. Local media reports say security forces were stationed at vantage points in the town and the protesters peacefully waved banners with inscriptions calling for the release of their compatriots and independence. The demonstration spread to Buea in the South-West Region where women led the march with hundreds behind them carrying leaves, tree branches and flags of the Cameroon separatist movement. It was the same scene in the towns of Fontem, Bafia, Kumba and Mamfe among others in the same region who are also demanding to be independent from French Cameroon. Paul Biya’s speech ended without the mention of the Anglophone crisis in the country. This infuriated some protesters who spoke to the media. Dozens of people from the regions were arrested late last year after the mass protests in the regions against marginalization. Anglophone teachers, lawyers and students were beaten and intimidated by the security forces during peaceful protests against the imposition of the French language on their schools and courts. Anglophone journalists also condemned a government order banning all radio and television discussions on the political situation in the region. President Biya subsequently signed a decree establishing the National Commission of Bilingualism and Multiculturalism to solve the matter. Rights groups have raised concerns about increasing repression under the 35-year-old rule of President Biya. In August, the president signed a decree releasing Anglophone leaders detained for months over last year’s protests. Several others are still behind bars including journalists who are facing terrorism charges. See all Report a problem
