Live pictures of Bamenda this morning. The government of Cameroon recently ban the use of motorbikes in a few streets of Bamenda following the killing of a police office.
Recently, the minister of territorial administration and decentralization also placed a few measure in other to buy a matchette in the whole of North West and South West.
There is a struggle for who controls the two regions. Once the government places a rule which doesnt favors the Separatist leaders, they do all to make sure the population respects theirs. Now who is actually in control?
After the government ban of motorbikes, separatist said no vehichle should ply the road in solidarity with bike riders.
As we speak, no vehicle can be seen on the drive way of the Bamenda Main Market, Commercial Avenue and Ring Way Street.
The Anglophone crisis sparked back in late 2016 with anglophone lawyers and teachers complaining of marginalization. A crackdown finally led to what we are witnessing today.
The separatist decided to pick up arms and today Cameroon is at the verge of smelling a civil war. Since 2016 more than 4000 arm, military and civilians have lost their lives as a result of this crisis.
A major national dialogue was organized in Yaounde by the head of state but was fruitless as separatists didn't attend for fear of trust.
The United Nations and many organizations likewise countries including the US have urge the government to organized a real and genuine dailogue by looking for possible solutions to end the crisis.
Here are the images of a few streets in Bamenda.
