Anglophone crisis:
Dr. Foncha’s family call for return to dialogue

BY NDUMBE BELL GASTON IN DOUALA
The Fonchas have broken their silence by strongly appealing to government to restart talks and have a quick solution to all the issue related to the months-old Anglophone problem before it goes out of hand.
The revelation was made public by their family communiqué recently rejuvenating the vision of late dad’s federalism and other historic facts on the origins of the reunification of the Southern Cameroons and French-speaking Cameroon.
United behind their fathers old motto “That Truth Shall Prevail” ,the Fonchas called on “the unconditional release of the civil leaders, students and the others detained during this crisis”. They also called on the “demilitarisation of the North-West and South West regions, holding accountable those responsible for the abuse of the civil rights of citizens and the restoration of internet services in Anglophone regions which are gestures within the power of government. These they say are the first “steps in the process of restoring true dialogue, bearing in mind that forgiveness is not weakness but a demonstration of fortitude, an attribute we all seek in our government.”
The Fonchas continue to believe, like their father did, that dialogue is the means by which reconciliation, peace and justice, can be achieved.
They think that the struggles of their dad on federalism in the past is because he had visioned that problems like these were bound to recur no matter how some people may want to manipulate on the truth Dad, they recounted always concluded saying “That Truth Shall Prevail”.
They family is reflecting as to what should have been the
reaction of Dr. J. N Foncha, on what he should have done in the present circumstances with the ongoing strikes and the civil action of ghost towns “which are causing such enormous economic and social hardships on the populations of the two regions and the severance of the internet connections in the North West and South-West regions.
The Fonchas then appealed to government not to use deadly force as a response but to dialogue after freeing the detainees.
