Over 20.000 people in Meme County, Southern Zone of Southern Cameroon, now live in the forest. This is an estimated figure dished out by the Centre for the Protection of the Rights of the Less Privileged (CPRLP), an NGO based in Kumba.
Speaking exclusively to BaretaNews, the Director of CPRLP, Nimbom Leonard Akum, said the figures were attained after stealthily going to the forest and meeting large numbers of people sheltering there. He indicated that most of the refugees indicated they fled their villages after Camerounese forces in a melancholic fashion, burnt down their residence.
“We saw men, women and children looking so frail after being bathe by the heavy down for several days. Many are sick yet cannot have medications because they cannot come to the city. Those we talked with said their houses and all property they own have been burnt down. All they showed me were little bags and pots, they could run away with. I lost count of the number of people I saw. It is such a terrible situation,” Nimbom Leonard said.
He recounted his ordeals faced, while trying to locate the fleeing population.
“My team and I faced so much trouble getting into the forest because we came in contact with dangerously looking Camerounese forces who interrogated us on several occasions. We also met the Ambazonian Restoration Forces who equally asked us many questions before living us,” CPRLP boss said.
The CPRLP boss equally said hundreds of these displaced persons who could not stay in the forest, have flooded the streets of Kumba. He added that “those with no relatives in the city, sleep in tight corners in the major streets of Kumba.”
Most of the villages affected are in Mbonge Sub County where not even a fly can be seen. Out of the 96 villages in Mbonge Sub County, close to 30 have been deserted and some burnt completely. Amongst the villages affected heavily are Kwakwa, Bole Bakundu, Bakumba, Big Butu, 3-Corners Bekondo, Kumukumu, Mabonji, Dipenda, Big Nganjo just to mention but these few.
Bole Bakundu the biggest village along the Kumba Ekondo Titi road with close to 9000 inhabitants and Kwakwa with over 6000 were completely razed down.
“Looking at these figures from these two villages without counting the others, it can be estimated that over 20 000 people have been displaced and are now living in the bushes,” Nimbom Leonard said.

Oh My God!!!!!
I pray for the innocent ones in the bushes.
Ambazonia must be free…
LRC will pay bitterly for all they have caused in our land …
We shall overcome…
We keep praying for our brothers and sisters who are vulnerable to this cause
Hahaha!!! I need a glass of wine.
Almost 2 years of killing your own people with Biya sitting comfortably on SONARA, CDC and others. Thanks to fat ass Mark and others your people are displaced, frustrated and now living in bushes, yet you still making noises. Is this what you call WINNING? Madness of the century.
I love seeing our people especially the children with life on their face despite the evil been raged on to them by animals for LRC and their foreign and western supporters.
We shall over come and finally live in peace without human animals, waste products of humanity wanting to kill us.
Long live motherland Ambazonia.
Those clowns sent by LRC to this forum to distract us are very short sighted. Yes. We should not expect much from all this empty coconut heads. But what they have not understood yet is that all those attrocities done again our people will widen the rift between LRC and us. There will never again a normal living with the froggies.
Long live Ambazonia
You have invited LRC brutal force to your door steps. Continue your online propaganda, your people will suffer the most. Other regions of Cameroon have normal activities and your people are sleeping in the forest because of your greed and selfish ambitions. Donate money and send to your political defence groups and more people will continue to die and thousands will continue to live in the bushes.
We prefer to suffer and die, than live, marry, allow asshole like you to even come close to us.
You are short sighted and that is your problem. Savages think they can force love, never will you animals be able to force us to accept you.
We will forever see LRC as a toilet, your raping, burning down of our houses, machine guns are not enough to make us love you or even surrender.
One advice. Stop time, erase our memory, then maybe you can be successful. WE are going to see how many houses you can burn down and how many Ambazonians you can kill. Never forget it’s either you kill us all or you lose, forget about the burning of the house, villages, we Ambazonians are rich, we will build everything back up in no time.
We are waiting. Come and kill us all.
@Malis, say you prefer people to suffer and die because you are not one of the people suffering and you are hiding in the comfort of you single bedroom abroad.
And some will say Ambazonians should dialogue with these demons of LRC. You are a man when you die standing than to do so on your knees. The day of living with the terrorists of LRC is gone. These are images that will continuously remind us not to look back for this is totally unacceptable.
Just because we told these criminals of LRC that enough is enough our people get subjected to this? This is just beyond pardon.
This is unbelievable knowing that the raining season is fast approaching.
Maybe beside bro_came, I don’t see anyone who would go to bed at night and have a good sleep after seeing these images.
When some of us try to caution against this madness you call us LRC agents as if personally I have something to loose if an entire village is erased. There is no revolution that starts and end with the same strategies and you should have taught about all this.
How can you try to catch a Tiger with bare hands?
Jojo butt off niggas, these people are maquizards and we need to get rid of them as soon as possible.
No turning back. No more bonjour au revoir french niggaz.
ironically you are learning another language in your hideouts abroad. Dream of your dream racist country.
All what you guys are saying against the English speaking people is spoiling any so called dialoque every body including France is seeing as
the only way to solve the crises . You use hate taiks and crude language
like taking a glass of wine and Sonara which will soon be taken away from you like it or not . Remember that your uterances are read world wide . Remember also that these are a suverign and separate nation that came to form the United Republic of Cameroon which the almighty dictator of lrc changed to satisfy you guys . Thank you very much for making the world focus on us . Watch your words and ways guys .
@No Nonsence, I wouldn’t worry too much about the bad languages if I were you. This is exactly what happen when change come to people who are not ready.
I said before, that any future negotiation would have to start with France. I did not said it in a mine way, it’s just a reality that most of us don’t want to accept.
The question we should ask ourselves is why the entire international body is silent about what is going on in Cameroon? The government pretty much has a green light to do all what is necessary to bring stability. It is all about pockets, from America to France all the way to China, all have a lot to loose if the country continue to be unstable. Just my taught.
Hahaha again Cashmire “No idea” Jojo the bamenda_boy. The only country who have economic interests and investments in Amabzonia is France. Total S.A. has about 7% share of SONARA. CDC bananas go directly to Carrefour France. What has the USA invested? The Chinese invest 95% in the South, East and Centre provinces of your Shithole banana plantation of la Republique. Proof me the opposite.
Long live our beautiful Ambazonia
For every SDO kidnapped and released by your chikenshit forces, 20,000 (btw totally inflated and bogus number) are now roommates with monkey’s and porcupines? The great diaspora propaganda victory tour continues. History will not be kind to your course.
