Hon. Cavaye Yeguie Djibril condems Babanki abductions, tells Amba fighters “Secession is unattainable”

Cameroon’s Speaker of the National Assembly has publicly spoken against the separatists’ abduction and torturing of women in Kedjom Keku (Big Babanki), in the North West Region.

A few weeks ago, separatists were subject to a massive wave of condemnation after they opened fire on women who protested against them for the imposition of exorbitant levies.

The women stood up against the fighters, who said they had to pay these levies as their own ways of supporting the “anglophone struggle.” Over 40 other women who also participated in the protest were abducted by these separatists, who tortured them and threatened to end their lives.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the June Parliamentary session, Honorable Cavaye Yeguie Dijibril said the imposition of levies by these separatists “…could make people think there are two states in Cameroon, which certainly is not the case.”

The speaker declared that “…Cameroon is decentralised state which is one and indivisible.”
