[governance] Internet Connection officially Severed in Anglophone Cameroon Pleaase help

[Jean-Louis FULLSACK]

Dear Agien

 

For me is it very unclear if the governemental Internet black-out and the other biased decisions of national authorities have their origin in francophony. Since Cameroun is the N°1 in corruption and bribery in Africa (following Transparency International) there may be -at least- a conjunction of both in the case we are discussing about.

 

Best refards

Dear All

>
It has been roughly a month that the people of the anglophone regions (formerly Southern Cameroons) of Cameroon have had internet cut off. The minister of Post and Telecommunication states that it was for security reasons. MTN the operator that supplys internet in the zone stated that they were under contractual obligations to cut internet from the area. The situation is causing some economic and human rights havoc

>
One should recall that the entire anglophone region is currently on a school strike action and ghost towns untill the government ascribes to the demand of a two states federation, reinstate the anglosaxone system of education that has been sytematically destroyed and diluted into the french system (Cameroun is a bilingual country) and its justice sytem.

>
It was vey common to find a francophone teacher lecturing anglophone students physics in pidgin or you find francophone Magistrates handing litigations in anglophone territory in french. When lawyer organized a peaceful march against this, they were severely beaten wounded and their robes torn. Students of the University of Buea were tortured and some raped.

>
Leaders of the Consortium of Anglophone Civil societies organizations that handled negociations with  government to look into the issues ahve been arrested and are currently court-marshalled on counts of terrorism etc. More to that a Supreme Court Attorney General (Paul Ayah Abine) was arrested including an appeal Court Magistrate wre currently under detention for voicing their concern over the situation in Anglophone Cameroon

I cannot make a call from my phone either

What can IG Caucaus do in such a horrible situation
