“If guns do not stop being fired, schools will not resume,” His Eminence Christian Cardinal Tumi.

“If guns do not stop being fired, schools will not resume,” His Eminence Christian Cardinal Tumi.

Few days to school resumption in Cameroon, the former archbishop of the metropolitan archdiocese of Douala has stated that school resumption can not be a reality in the North West and South west regions of Cameroon.

In a joint press conference with Hon. Jean Jacques Ekindi, National Coordinator of Progressive Movement Party on Wednesday August 21, 2019 in Douala, the Cardinal called on the government to urge military to return to the barracks and at the same time, requested Ambazonia fighters to lay their weapons.

 Cardinal Tumi denied calls that the military should disarm in the Anglophone regions. He stressed that the military should hold the arms in the barracks ready to defend the citizens from external enemies and not to kill civilians as it is the case today in the Anglophone regions.

In his own words, the Cardinal stated: ” Peace is capital for going back to school. This is a conviction I hold very strongly.” Cardinal Tumi waved aside calls made by members of government and other rights groups for school resumption in the restive regions without addressing the issue of peace and a ceasefire. In his opinion, Cardinal said, no parent or child will support the idea of school now, if the bullets continue flying in the air.

But it seems his message was viewed differently by his co-host. Hon. Jean Jacques Ekindi, for his part, announced the launching of a mega peace crusade in Douala on the 29th of August 2019 to champion peace and back-to-school in English speaking Cameroon.

Questioned if by joining the peace initiative of Jean Jacques Ekindi it meant the process to organising Anglophone General Conference has failed, Cardinal Tumi says, “preparation for the dialogue platform is on course.” He pointed out that more than one thousand Anglophones have already filled questionnaires answering some of the key questions on the causes and solutions to the crisis.
