According to Barrister Nkongho Felix Agbor aka Agbor Balla says Thursday’s visit was aimed at encouraging the IDPs, especially the women who are amongst the most vulnerable group, to maintain their calm while hoping for lasting solutions to the ongoing crisis rocking Cameroon’s North West and South West Regions.
On this occasion, the women received some food and non-food items which were donated to the Center by SOBA UK and Association Femmes Actantes. In addition, some prenatal vitamins were distributed to pregnant women and albendazole for children. The women greatly appreciated the items and also shared some of the challenges they face living as IDPs.
The number of internally displaced persons as a result of the crisis in the North West and South West regions of Cameroon has increased according to the Centre for Human Rights and Democracy in Africa in a detailed report released at the close of last year.
Presently, CHRDA said about 274,908 are internally displaced in the North West region while 278,867 are displaced in the South West region, making it a 74% increase from the last census.
Aside scaling up her humanitarian response to the socio-political crisis, CHRDA is championing a campaign for schools to resume come September 2, 2019 after three years of school boycott.
