Limbe Mayor Praises Military Despite Lingering Tensions

The mayor of Limbe City, Paul Efome Ngale, expressed his gratitude to the Cameroonian military for maintaining peace and stability in the city during a visit by two generals on Friday, February 16th. However, residents continue to grapple with fear due to ongoing separatist attacks.

Ngale hailed the military’s efforts during a meeting with Generals Eba Eba Bede and Ekongwese. This comes amidst the mayor’s plans to revive the Limbe Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC), which was discontinued after his predecessor, Andrew Motanga, passed away.

Despite the mayor’s praise, Limbe residents remain apprehensive due to the constant threat of violence from separatist groups. Recent actions by the Senior Divisional Officer of Fako, who sealed shops for adhering to ghost town calls, further highlight the tense atmosphere in the city.

Mixed Messages and Unresolved Conflict

While Ngale commends the military’s presence, it’s crucial to acknowledge the discord between this narrative and the lived experiences of Limbe residents. The sealing of shops for respecting ghost towns suggests a more complex reality where fear and instability persist.

Questions that Linger

  • What specific actions is the military taking to ensure peace and stability in Limbe?
  • How do residents perceive the effectiveness of these actions?
  • What measures are being taken to address the root causes of the separatist conflict?

A nuanced understanding of the situation in Limbe requires recognizing the potential discrepancy between official narratives and the experiences of ordinary citizens. Further investigation is needed to shed light on the complexities of the conflict and the true state of peace and stability in the city.
