Anglophone Crisis: CHRDA condemns attack on CDC workers
Anglophone Crisis: CHRDA condemns attack on CDC workers.
The Centre for Human Rights and Democracy, CHRDA has released a statement denouncing last Tuesday’s attack on CDC workers in Tiko by armed men suspected to be separatist fighters.
“Official figures from the CDC authorities reveal that five (5) tappers were ruthlessly beaten while a tractor driver’s face was battered with a machete. Four other persons were abducted by the assailants and are yet to return home,” the statement reads.
“CHRDA is horrified by this new wave of attacks on CDC workers in TIKO and condemns these atrocities in the strongest possible terms. Such attacks on unarmed civilians is a breach of International Law and deserves condemnation,” it stated.
“CHRDA calls on the armed men to immediately release all persons abducted at the plantation and calls on the belligerents to cease from committing human rights atrocities” it adds.
Some plantation workers of the Cameroon Development Corporation, CDC in Tiko were attacked by unidentified armed men on Tuesday leaving them with severe injuries, sources say.
The workers were attacked sustained injuries as some had their fingers chopped off or cuts on their ears and backs as the armed men inflicted the pain on them for coming to work, sources said.
The injured workers have since been under intensive care at a medical facility in Tiko as they recover from their wounds.
The attack comes as the second of its kind following the one on January 2nd 2019. The attacks many say are aimed at punishing the workers for daring to resume work at the plantation against the wish of separatist fighters.
Since the crisis in the North West and South West Regions turned violent, the Cameroon Development Corporation has been hardly hit as several jobs have been lost due to the inactivity at the various plantations and factories.
CHRDA is one of several human rights groups that has continuously condemned violence in the Anglophone regions of the country, calling for inclusive dialogue as a solution to the crisis.
