After meeting with secessionists, South West Chiefs get "side-lined" from meeting the Prime Minister!

Chief Ekoka Molindo

The traditional rulers of the Fako Division (South West Region) are angry at some of the elites in their division. They accuse these elites of preventing them from passing on the demands of the secessionist fighters they met to Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute. Yet it was the authorities who sent them to the separatist fighters. The leaders expressed their dissatisfaction on Canal 2 International TV on September 27, 2019.

"We came to tell the Prime Minister what those in the bush want. They are angry at the excessive centralization of the country's management. They want a federation of 10 states. It can help them grow their economy. Many people do not want the traditional leaders of the Southwest to speak. The Prime Minister and even the governor told us to speak out loud about people's suffering. Some people think that what we say will not always be what they think. But we are here in the case of an open dialogue" said chief  Ekoka Molindo, the spokesperson for Fako's traditional chiefs.

In a recent letter to the South West Governor, the Fako Leaders' Conference stressed that the secessionist armed groups were ready to engage in dialogue with the Cameroonian government. The leaders reported that the "Ambazonian" fighters wanted to start by participating via a conference call or through the networks from their lair in the bush.
