From: Nyangkwe Agien Aaron <nyangkweagien@gmail.com> Dear All It has been roughly a month that the people of the anglophone regions (formerly Southern Cameroons) of Cameroon have had internet cut off. The minister of Post and Telecommunication states that it was for security reasons. MTN the operator that supplys internet in the zone stated that they were under contractual obligations to cut internet from the area. The situation is causing some economic and human rights havoc One should recall that the entire anglophone region is currently on a school strike action and ghost towns untill the government ascribes to the demand of a two states federation, reinstate the anglosaxone system of education that has been sytematically destroyed and diluted into the french system (Cameroun is a bilingual country) and its justice sytem. It was vey common to find a francophone teacher lecturing anglophone students physics in pidgin or you find francophone Magistrates handing litigations in anglophone territory in french. When lawyer organized a peaceful march against this, they were severely beaten wounded and their robes torn. Students of the University of Buea were tortured and some raped. Leaders of the Consortium of Anglophone Civil societies organizations that handled negociations with government to look into the issues ahve been arrested and are currently court-marshalled on counts of terrorism etc. More to that a Supreme Court Attorney General (Paul Ayah Abine) was arrested including an appeal Court Magistrate wre currently under detention for voicing their concern over the situation in Anglophone Cameroon I cannot make a call from my phone either What can you do to help us in such a horrible situation? -- Aaron Agien NYANGKWE Journalist-Outcome Mapper P.O.Box 5213 Douala-Cameroon Tel. 237 673 42 71 27
