CPDM MEMBER APOLOGIES TO ANGLOPHONES

   Member of the Cameroon People's Democratic Movement, Essomba Bengono Engelbert has apologised to the Anglophone Community after what he said on Equinoxe Television.
   During a program on the TV channel, Equinoxe soir on Monday, the government member while defending the country's response to the humanitarian situation in the two crisis striken North West and South West said they were more concerned about the number of patroitic cameroonians than the lives already lost in the war.

   According to the CPDM activist while referring to the fall of Sodom and Gomorrah as well as the flood during the days of Noah in the Bible said " Do you know the number of times, God the creator cleared the human race to build a nation?... We are not counting deaths, we are counting active Cameroonians everyday who invest blood and water for this nation to survive".
   After xenophobic comments on social media which to them meant Essomba was indirectly saying the killings should continue in the Regions for the sake of a peaceful country, he then reacted thereafter.
   However, he went to his Facebook page today to say sorry. He called on Anglophones of various tribes and in all divisions to forgive his rants. He wrote; "I sincerely apologise for my declaration on Equinoxe TV on the 13th May 2019, about victims of the armed conflict that prevails in your villages and towns since the crisis occurred there".
   Since 2017, more than 1850 people have died as a result of the deepening Anglophone crisis in the North West and South West Regions, 530,000 are Internally displaced person's while over 40,000 are taking refuge in Nigeria according to International Refugee groups.
