The Cameroon Government cancels youth day Celebration as a pretext for combating covid19

     


Background of the story

On the 11 February 1961, the people of the formal British Southern Cameroons voted in Plebiscite to federate with "La republic du Cameroun" . It is because of this that the 11 February is celebrated every year as the National Youth Day. 

      The Story In Context 

  On the 4/2/21 the government wrote a public notice canceling the celebration under the pretext that the measure is aimed at ensuring SOCIAL DISTANCING so as to avoid a possible increase of the covid cases in the country. This is the communiqué below




     The Disagreement in the story

Majority of the citizens hold that the covid 19 pandemic does no longer exist in Cameroon. This thought is based on the facts that arenas like schools, football matches, bars , funerals and churches, which are all notable areas of large crowds are going on hitch free. 

.

What then is the mass thinking of? 

     The move is just to avoid a further INTERNATIONALISATION of the Anglophone separatist movement. This is because international pressure is mounting daily. The celebration would have clashed with the activists' routine ghost towns and which could only further ignite tension.
