Provocation: Equatorial Guinea begins border wall on Cameroon soil!
Provocation: Equatorial Guinea begins border wall on Cameroon soil!
Equatorial Guinea is planning to build a wall along the border with neighbouring Cameroon, according to sources in the Cameroon army.
A video circulating online shows Cameroonian army officers reports that Equatorial Guinean soldiers had crossed the Ntem river that forms a natural border between the two countries, and erected milestones in the town of Kye-Ossi on the Cameroonian side.
The milestones had been placed at points “between one and two kilometres (0.6-1.2 miles) inside our territory,” an officer in the Cameroonian army is quoted as saying.
At the weekend, state radio reported that Cameroon army chief, Rene Claude Meka, visited the spot at the end of July to see where the border had been encroached, noting “the expansionist ambitions” of neighbouring Equatorial Guinea.
The Cameroonian army chief also warned that the Cameroonian army would not tolerate “any unlawful intrusion” into its territory.
AFP which first broke the story said it had contacted the authorities in Equatorial Guinea but they declined to comment.
Nevertheless, people living in Equatorial Guinea said they had been told about the plans to build a wall.
“All along the border, everything is already cleared. We’ve been told it is the fence where the wall will be built for our border with Cameroon,” Gustavo Ondo is reported to have told AFP via telephone.
According to a number of different sources, Equatorial Guinea accuses Cameroon of letting West Africans enter its territory illegally.
Malabo is particularly watchful about the border because it is where some 30 foreign armed men from Chad, CAR and Sudan were arrested in what Equatorial Guinea says was a foiled coup attempt in December 2017.
The plans by Equatorial Guinea to build the wall have been described as sheer provocation from an upstart state. Cameroonians are seething with anger that a country that was once helped financially by Cameroon has suddenly become rich through the discovery of oil and now wants to bite the finger that once fed it, Some think it is the time for Cameroon to show that it is a power in the CEMAC zone by reining in on its neighbour’s perceived aggression.
Equatorial Guinea is an oil-rich Central African nation which has been led by President Teodoro Obiang Nguema since 1979. Rights groups and corruption reports have ranked the country low in both areas.
