A popular francophone politician called Cabral Libii, has announced that he narrowly escaped death in Batibo, one of the flashpoints of fighting between Ambazonia fighters and security and defence forces.
Returning from this locality last Saturday, the candidate of the party “Universe” and his companions came across fighting between separatists and the Cameroonian army.
According to Cabral Libii, he has never experienced such a stressful situation.
In a message he himself posted on his Facebook page, and fed on by several media including Le Quotidien de l'Economie of Monday, June 25, 2018, Cabral Libii narrated his shocking experience and misadventure.
“Glory to God! I have just entered Bamenda on return from Batibo. The compatriot, who was driving us, native of the locality, had to make use of a road in the forest on our way back. We had to take refuge with other compatriots in the house, with all doors closed. I admit, I had never experienced such a stressful situation.
The leader of the movement “11 million registered voters” has called for a mobilization for the end of violence in the North West and South West regions: “My dear compatriots I assure you, I do not think of francophones versus Anglophones, nor of the army against civilians, because the soldiers and fighters who camp there are equally victims and I am sensitive to the courtesy that all of them have reserved for me throughout the journey ... Let us mobilize so that our brothers and sisters who are there come out of the confusion. Batibo is near near-ghost town ...” he said.
The locality of Batibo is regularly the scene of clashes between separatist groups and the Cameroonian army. On June 16, a couple was coldly murdered therein. Even though the government of Cameroon blamed separatist fighters for murdering the couple that is said to be strong members of the ruling CPDM party, separatists on their part blamed the killings on the army.
