Black Monday in my locality: 3 people killed 😭💔, 12 seriously injured, and 1 kidnapped by separatist fighters.
Hello fellow steemians accept warm greetings from this end of globe .To be precise northwest region of Cameroon Bamenda . For the past two weeks it has not been easy in my locality three people.We are all indoors imposed by separatist fighters .Business places are locked and schools closed. This has been now for 10years we are experiencing the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon in the northwest and southwest regions of Cameroon.
This is power tussled between the government and separatist fighters .The separatist fighters has for some demands for the government to fufilled but the government has given a deaf hear .According to them they claimed the Anglophone section of Cameroon are marginalized and needs be taken into consideration.
Today is one of my saddest day and this has triggered me to share with my fellow what we going through in our country Cameroon 🇨🇲.We are experiencing normal lockdown in my locality in peace but suddenly.In my neighbourhood after gunshots we recieved sad news three people have killed and 12 injured 😭💔at the same spot by separatist fighters .
According to the report from eye witness and as reported by journalists .In various media station . These people were drinking in one spot bar opening while a lady was selling food infront of the bar .Many people threw separatist fighters stoned the area taking them unaware and started firing bullets on those present and drinking .
According them they claimed today Monday is ghost town and business bar is supposed to opened .Before people are drinking saying the people has gone against their rules and will face the consequences by setting examples on them. The act took not not up to 5minutes and they disappeared on the bike.
People in my locality around the incident area had to come out to rescue the victims taking them to the hospital. The lady selling food infront of the bar died at the spot with other two men .
While their mortal remains were rushed to the hospital .The remain twelve people severely injured with gunshot were rushed to the hospital to served their lives for proper medication. By the military forces who intervened after the incident has happened This kept the community in somuch pain and sorrow.People cried losing their love ones .It was a serious black Monday in my community.
No matter how separatist fighters imposed laws on the community .They turned to harm again the community by killing and kidnapping.It has made us to be confused and don’t know what do.As if it not enough a Headmaster of a school kidnapped as well.
Simply because he went to prepare the school environment for schools reopening which the separatist fighters are against. When this happened huge ransomed money will be asked that the family will not be able afford .If care is not taken the person will be killed.
The mortal remains are in the hospital while the rest injured are responding to treatment in the hospital . Some people as claimed tried to identify the faces of the separatist as claimed and they all wanted by the government for any one who see them so that they can put to justice.
After, this incident the next day some of the mortal remains were transported to their villages for burial to take places .It was not easy with the ghost nature of the town but it only God that knows how their corpse of the one victim reach his village for burial .
The government has taken measures during this hard difficult moments .For all the hospital in the locality to share their contacts for medical emergency and need an abundance in case of any situation.Anyone called any of the numbers in help in case of emergency.
I will end here by saying that my home land is bleeding everyday .A lot of atrocities happening us civilians are now become targeted ones .We do not know where to start or to go to , everyday terrible things are happening due to the anglophone crisis for 10years . Please pray for my home country for peace and unity to come to normalcy 🙏🙏🙏.We are tired of the killings losing our loved ones , economic hardship and kidnapping for Ransome .All we need is peace 🙏🙏🙏.

I remember you mentioning something similar over a year ago – has the situation not changed for you at all?? Are you still living under this constant pressure? That’s brutal. How are your children coping with it?

We are experiencing this for 10years nothing has really changed .Relocating is not easy , You need to make you will cope where you going to and relocating with your family with uncertainty is not easy except it comes to the worst .I work presently here and my husband leaving from here without transfer decision won’t work . We have only try to use coping mechanism during the crisis while leaving inthe region. My kids are schooling as well there are times places are calm and schools are going well .Eventhough, some days comes with uncertainty but we hope for the best God is with us 🙏🙏🙏. #s34engagement
