The situation prevailing in the two English-speaking areas of Cameroon is of concerns the MRC and its president, Maurice Kamto.
In a press conference this afternoon, Maurice Kamto violently criticized the attitude of Paul Biya in the face of this crisis and condemned the silence of Philemon Yang.The MRC presidential candidate has condemned, among other things, the assault on his vice-president Emmanuel Simh by hooded individuals.

Long before the government decided to decay the management of the Anglophone crisis, which today degenerated into a civil war, the Cameroon Renaissance Movement claimed secession was a dead end and indicated the urgency for the power to open a national dialogue on the country’s political and social situation.
Unfortunately, we have not been listened to either by the secessionists or by the Government, hence the dramatic situation currently prevailing in the North-West and South-West Regions.
What useless deaths, sufferings, refugees! To the families of all those killed, the RCM sends its sincere condolences. To the wounded, he wishes his wishes for a speedy recovery, and expresses his total solidarity with the thousands of Cameroonians who have abandoned their villages to live in the refugee camps in Nigeria.
The civil war between the two English-speaking regions of our country between the army and the security forces and armed secessionists has recently taken a new turn with the kidnapping, on February 11, 2018, in the Batibo district, Department of Momo, North-West Region, Sub-Prefect, Mr. NAMATA Marcel DITENG, by armed men.
Also in Batibo, on February 24, 2018, it was the turn of the Regional Delegate of Social Affairs North West, Mr. ANIMBOM Aaron ANKIAMBOM, to be abducted by strangers. In a video posted on social networks by its kidnappers, the Cameroonians saw, helplessly, this senior executive imploring his minister to meet the demands of his captors, within 48 hours, to save his life.
In the case of the sub-prefect as well as that of the Regional Delegate, the Government kept silence incomprehensible.
The Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization (MINADT), the very one who, by his act of dissolution of the Consortium, precipitated the changeover in the crisis, did not find it necessary to speak on this matter exceptionally serious and detrimental to the morale of these men and women who, far, very far from the cozy comfort of ministerial offices and large cities, work to survive and make live the Republic in a scary security context.
The Minister of Social Affairs has, like MINADT, chosen to leave his employee to his plight.
The Prime Minister, head of the Government, also walled in silence.
More seriously, at the Ministerial Council chaired by the Head of State, on March 15, 2018, President Paul BIYA did not have a single word for the representatives of the State all taken hostage in the course of their duties . There are very few countries where representatives of the state can be kidnapped without their fate and the pain of their families being the subject of one of the items on the agenda of the Council of Ministers. In fact, elsewhere, where power has a human face, these kidnappings are the type of events that immediately trigger a crisis meeting at the top of the state.
What must happen to the Cameroonians so that President BIYA finally shows compassion? In the conflict with Boko Haram in the north, which has lasted since May 2014, he never thought it necessary to bring the compassion and solidarity of the Cameroonian people to our bruised compatriots, nor did he feel he could go to the bedside. wounded and interned soldiers. Even the Chadian president’s visit to Chadian soldiers wounded and hospitalized at the Military Hospital in Yaounde, was not enough to decide to leave his palace and travel the three to four kilometers that separate him from the Military Hospital for to bring the warmth of our People’s Republic to the brave wounded soldiers.
Certainly, exegeses of the Renewal will invoke “the time of the President” and the “presidential silences” to try to justify the distance of the Head of State vis-à-vis his people; but, in truth, the attitude of the President of the Republic gives ample information on the consideration he has for Cameroonians. Indeed, no other president in the world can display so much distance vis-à-vis his compatriots hit by misfortune.
Following the first hostage-taking in English-speaking regions, on Saturday, March 17, 2018, Pr. Ivo LEKE TAMBO, PCA of the Cameroon General Certificate of Education (GCE) Bord and about thirty students and perso
The MRC strongly condemns these kidnappings and murders, as well as the fires of public and private property, school and religious buildings and all other acts of violence and humiliation that accompany them. The perpetrators of these acts must be convinced that the Cameroonian people will not accept the partition of our dear and beautiful country, fruit of a historical legacy and common work of Anglophones and Francophones, who are determined to carry together their homeland to the most high level of development, shared prosperity and global reach.
On the ministerial reshuffle of March 02
On March 02, 2018, the Head of State proceeded to the reshuffle of the Government. This reshuffle, which took place in the midst of the civil war in the two English-speaking regions of our country, clearly confirms, in the light of certain prominent Anglophone personalities who are more than controversial, the logic of the worst chosen by the power in the management of what was, a year ago, a political crisis.
Indeed, by appointing to the position of Minister of Territorial Administration Mr. Paul ATANGA NJI, the very one who, by his provocative words and actions had accelerated the tipping of the crisis in the violent confrontation, President BIYA demonstrated that he and his government have a political interest in maintaining the security and social situation, which severely penalizes the populations of the two English-speaking regions and the national economy. Thus, it is now a “provocative minister” and warlike who is in charge of managing, in his own way, a civil war of which he bears an undeniable historical responsibility in the outbreak.
The appointment of Mrs. NALOVA LYONGHA Pauline EGBE to the post of Minister of Secondary Education in the redeveloped government shares the same logic of refusal of the dialogue and the reward of the partisans of the force by the president BIYA. It was Mrs. NALOVA LYONGHA, then Vice Chancellor at the University of Buea at the time of the outbreak of the Anglophone crisis, who ordered the intervention of the police on the campus, with all the excesses that the national opinion and international had lamented at the time.
Faced with the increasing number of killings and kidnappings in the two English-speaking regions, the MRC reiterates its position that secession can not, in any case, be the solution to the situation in which our country finds itself, nor to the crisis. political, economic and social development in the North West and South West Regions. In truth, it only imposes the worst suffering on the people. We were the first to say and we reiterate: only an inclusive political dialogue, dealing with the demands of our English-speaking compatriots and, beyond, all the major political issues of the country, can put an end to the current violence.
On the assault of the Vice-President of the MRC, Emmanuel SIMH by hooded individuals on the night of March 18 to 19, 2018
I can not finish without bringing to your attention, with consternation and anger, that in the night of March 18 to 19, 2018, around midnight, the Vice-President of the MRC, Me Emmanuel SIMH, lawyer at the Cameroon Bar, was assaulted, intending to kill his life, by three hooded individuals, as he was leaving his vehicle in the parking lot of his home.
He was saved only by his son and the neighbors who came running to help him. His executioners did not claim anything from him or take anything. This suggests that these individuals were on mission.
Subject to the results of the police investigations, and even if it is not yet known whether the politician or the lawyer was targeted, the MRC condemns in the strongest manner this despicable act. He calls for swiftness in the conduct of research and the provision of justice for the aggressors, as well as their potential sponsors and accomplices.
