Separatist activist, Eric Tataw switches position on CDC, back to school, ghost towns…
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Ambazonian activist, Eric Tataw, also referred to as ‘Garri Master’ has urged workers of the Cameroon Development Cooperation to return to work.

He made the surprising declaration in an exclusive interview with The Guardian Post newspaper.

This comes following years of sustained campaign from him and other separatists for attacks to be carried out on workers of the CDC company who snobbed orders to abstain from work.



He was also nicknamed Garri Master as he made multiple calls for separatist fighters to ‘Garri” persons defying his orders for ghost towns and school boycott. Many pro government activists had called for him and others to be arrested and tried for multiple crimes and human rights violations.

After a temporary hiatus from his online activities, he has resurfaced. As it stands, Eric Tataw, aside from being a journalist, is now owner of company that imports CDC bananas and palm oil.

When requested to reconcile both gestures, Eric Tataw said, “the first thing is that CDC is not owned by the Cameroonian government… As a citizen of Southern Cameroons, CDC is in my land in the South West region. I have every right to import what CDC produces at this point because strategies change.”



He added, “I am for CDC and I will continue to import its produce to use proceeds for things that are important to me; especially charity.”

Eric Tataw equally went further to encourage the resumption of schools in the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon. He said,” The students should go back to school. Towns in Anglophone Cameroon should be fully functional and booming with business activities.”

According to Eric Tataw, the imposition of lockdowns by the separatist fighters in the Anglophone regions is rather punishing the population. He reiterated that lockdowns should be limited to Mondays and significant days like February 11 and May 20.



“No lockdowns should exist anymore, but the Monday ghost towns should continue. This is because it is the soul of the revolution. We don’t need one-month or even one-week lockdowns, but we can have lockdowns on days of events that are giving La Republique du Cameroun significance. This includes 11 February and 20th May, ” insisted Eric Tataw.

Many have however been left speechless following the sudden change in position by the US-based activist, as regards the Anglophone crisis.

Some believe his recent U-turn is due to the benefits he accrues from his new found business.

Image cleansing

Tataw has also been accused of orchestrating kidnapping of civilians in exchange for ransom. Many rights groups have pressed for he and other separatist extremists to face the law for ordering the amputation, abduction and torture of many in their separatist cause.

His latest utterances are seen by many now as an attempt to cleanse his image after causing untold pain and suffering to others and remaining adamant to apologize.

“Any child you see going to school, catch them and give them 25 strokes of the cane on their buttocks… When you catch a school principal, keep them until the end of the war,” he had instructed separatist fighters in one of his multiple messages filled with threats towards those going to school.

His U-turn comes after an International Criminal Court prosecutor, Karim A. A. Khan warned against crimes committed against academic institutions and learners.

The ICC, the Prosecutor noted, “will work with all partners to seek accountability for such acts.”
