Kumba: PM Receives 22 Repentant Fighters

In a fatherly manner he promised them a better life in the various rehabilitation centres and urged others still in the bushes to follow suit.

The third day of PM Dion Ngute in the South West yesterday (16 May, 2019) was divided into two segments of activities. He spent the morning period in Kumba, Headquarters of Meme Division, before rushing back to Buea to continue with regional audiences. While in Kumba, the PM and Head of Government delivered his soul-touching peace message to the population of Kumba at their ceremonial ground amid a huge crowd. He urged separatists’ fighters to lay down arms and regain a normal life in any of the centres for rehabilitation and disarmament. This he explained would pave the way for the dialogue promised by the Head of State, President Paul Biya.

22 Surrender from the bushes

The PM saw his peace mission succeeding all the more when he received some 22 young persons who were presented as having laid down arms and surrendered for peace. The PM exhorted them to be good citizens and said they were going to be rehabilitated and offered a new life condition that would rekindle hope for them. The Head of State’s envoy told the audience that a special recruitment of the youths from the bushes into the forces was in view to better their living conditions and to dissuade them from violence.
