Seven years, the population of the North West and South West Regions (English Speaking Regions of Cameroon) are experiencing a scouging  armed conflict with civilian especially children, women, and girls greatly targeted by the warring parties. On 11th February 2024, an explosive by the non state armed groups killed one child living 40 severly injuredand traumatised in Nkambe during the 11th Feb festivities. We can not say we do not know who did this. We can not also claim we are not aware of where or who the pepetrators are! This heinous and barbaric acts must not only be condermed by us on paper, but its time to seek justice for the victims by punishing the pepetration;It time to read the early warnings signs and timely interventions to save the already too fragile and maginalised people. Let the word NEVER AGAIN PUSHED US TO TAKE ACTION: 

James Woods, the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Africa, observed during the Rwandan genocide:
Failure to appreciate is an artful excuse for not wanting to appreciate the facts which, indeed, were presented to the White House and everybody else at the time.They knew. They chose not to know and they chose not to act…We had a lot to apologize for, but it’s not just the United States that owes the apology, it’s the whole international community. We all failed to act and the facts were known in the capitals of Europe and in New York and in Washington. Clearly, as James Woods has stated, there was undeniable evidence of a genocide taking place and not only the United States, but the international community shares the burden of being silent bystanders.

Upon his visit to Rwanda in March 1998, Clinton, apologized for his country’s inaction in the face of the Rwanda genocide. He stated as follows: The international community, together with nations in Africa, must bear its share of responsibility for this tragedy as well. We did not act quickly enough after the killings began. We should not have allowed the refugee camps to become safe havens for the killers. We did not immediately call these crimes by their rightful name: genocide. We cannot change the past. But we can and must do everything in our power to help you build a future without fear, and full of hope.

Before the whole world, Cameroon is at the edge of human tradgedy: A near elimination of a people, if the preamble of UNITED NATIONS still make sense to us its time not to look away!

Our collective humanity, the political will and an empathetic leadership can save  lives! Human Life precede any state entitilement.
