Ngar-Buh Ntumbaw Massacre

Ngar-Buh Ntumbaw Massacre

If the people of Ngar-Buh village in the North West province of Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia) knew what was going to happen, they would not have slept in their houses that night of the 14th February 2020.  That night they were massacred by the military forces of the country that says they are their government.
 
Innocent and confused
On the 14th of February 2020, 28 innocent civilians, including pregnant women and toddlers, were massacred were massacred by the military forces of Cameroun.  I know in my heart of hearts that these people would not have spent a second in that village if they had any clue that the Cameroun military would attack them.  As innocent as they all were, going to sleep happy, hoping for a bright new day, but much to their surprise, they did not make it through the night.  Imagine being burnt alive!… The innocent people of Ngar-Buh village woke up to a surprise by the military, arresting and burning human beings alive!… Is that not wickedness?  to see your fellow humans roasted like roast chicken, goat or even pork?  They were confused, running from one end of the village to the other, thinking of safety, but they met each other in confusion and did not know where else to run to, innocent and confused.
Abandoned by Human Rights Organisations

 

 

 

I thought Human rights Organisations are out there to make peace in the world.  But since 22 September, 2016, the people of the former British Cameroons have been going through difficult times with their neighbouring country La Republique du Cameroun.  No one is calling them to order.  They keep killing innocent people, especially our young men who, I believe, are our future leaders.

 

I want to ask this question to the Human Rights Organisations: what is the difference between British Southern Cameroon and Iraq or Iran?  Because we see how you are concerned about them, and even a gunshot there and the world will shake.  But now it’s this small country!  I am raising my voice with many other Ambazonians out there to call for peace and human rights, and not to stay silent as innocent people are dying.

 

The people need help

 

This situation has already taken too long to stop!  The people of the Southern Cameroons are calling for any rescue to come to their help for as it is too much now to continue.  All our male youths have been arrested and locked up, our able-bodied middle-aged men are shot dead in front of children of very young age.  Human Rights Organisations, the UN, the BBC and all those in charge of the world’s human rights – please come to our help.  It seems they have all abandoned us.

 

Conclusion

 

The nightmare that the people of Ngar-Buh have faced is a once in a lifetime event that will never leave their memories, especially those who watched how others were burned alive.  The confusion that the Cameroun government is giving to these people can only be rescued by all these International Organisations that help other countries to come in and put Mr Paul Bvondo Biya to justice for violating human rights.  I will continue to raise my voice, like other brothers and sisters from Southern Cameroons, to say we need HELP from the international groups which make peace in the world.

NO TO HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE IN SOUTHERN CAMEROONS (AMBAZONIA) 

NO TO HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE IN SOUTHERN CAMEROONS (AMBAZONIA) 

It all started in October 2016 when Layers and Teachers took to the streets for a peaceful demonstration to air their views and frustration about the government of Cameroon for asking for equal opportunities in their homeland (Ambazonia) and as we speak today it resulted in people being locked up in Prison and Cells.
After the peaceful demonstration that resulted in people being locked up in prisons life has become so so frustrated. This frustration has resulted to thousands upon thousands of lives lost, villages have been burnt, houses burnt by the military of French Cameroon and for three years now and more our parents, brothers and sisters have been suffering from this barbaric crack down between the military force of French Cameroon and the Ambazonia force, approximately 40000 plus civilians have lost their lives, 60000 plus civilians are either living in the bushes or seeking refuge in neighboring Nigeria.
The continue unrest resulting in youths running into the bushes for their life meanwhile as young as there are, are meant to be in school for studies so as to hope for a better future but those same schools are either being burnt down or used as a military base by the French Cameroon force. Young people don’t even have the opportunity to contribute to the society with no job opportunities, no peace. The few brave once are being accused as being terrorist in their own homeland. They is a continues repression by the arm military and this situation has now resulted into an arm conflicts. Young men and women have now pick up weapons to defend themselves and their family members. An estimated 10000 plus men and women have been killed in this senseless war in southern Cameroon by the French Cameroon military.
As frustrating as it is in Cameroon now many children have not only been made homeless but have also been made Orphans as many children have lost them life and some have been displaced from their relative as there struggle to look for safety.
Many villages have been burnt to arches in southern Cameroon by the La Republic Arm Forces and many more properties destroyed.
Southern Cameroonians all over the world in the diaspora have been playing a vital role in connection to the Anglophone Crises with a good number of demonstrations that have been carried out in various parts/countries of the world by disgruntled southern Cameroonians. All this because we fear for our family members back home are subject to gross human right violation from the French Cameroon Government. Another means or methods being used is via the social media to spread the message to the international community to see what is going on in Southern Cameroon. Pictures and videos of the brutal regime of President Pau Biya of French Cameroon have been shared on social media to show the extend at which the southern Cameroonians are being tortured, killed, rape by the military of French Cameroon.
As a result of the activities of southern Cameroonians in the diaspora, many southern Cameroonians coming from the diaspora are being arrested at the port of entry in Cameroon and being accused of supporting or sponsoring the armed separatist and spreading secessionist ideas. This has put so much fear in us southern Cameroonians so much so that we fear for our life that returning home is not a safe place to go YOUR OWN HOME COUNTRY. A situation whereby going home for family issues or holiday is out of place.
