After several trials, perpetrators are resorting to hate speeches in their desparate quest to achieve their diabolic intention.
Lately, they have been fueling hatred through public spaces, intentionally to sow seeds of discord, cause divisions amongst communities. Considering that previous attempts of the sort through Boko Haram, an imposition on Cameroon and the crisis in the Northwest and the Southwest regions all aimed at dividing Cameroonians failed; the evil monger are poisoning the minds of the people through hate.
For a country with two official languages and more than two hundred (200) ethnic groups, innocullating hate can easily pit communities against each other. It is a deliberate move to deconstruct community life and national solidarity.
This situation is not leaving public authorities indifferent. They who have seen this happen elsewhere and who know that the outcome has always been devastating. They are putting everything in place to ensure that the enemy is exposed.
The Secretary General of the CPDM, Jean Nkuete in a communique last June 5 called on militants, sympathizers, friends of the CPDM as well as all compatriots of good will to “redouble vigilance and perspicacity, in order to counter and anihialate hate speeches and behavior of hatred, exclusion and stigmatization of communities, whose development is more and more perceptible in the public spheres”.
Over the years, the Head of State Paul Biya, saw this coming, he instituted and encouraged the spirit of living together and acceptability amongst Cameroonians.
Every Cameroonian has the right to live and make a home anywhere in the national territory. The Head of State, has a perfect mastery of his nation and understands that Cameroon is made of diverse ethnic groups with different cultural, religious and social believes. The nation can only stand through social cohesion, hence his move to bridge gaps between communities. He has not ceased to encourage the spirit of living together in good and difficult times.
The Secretary General continues to implore local leaders of the party to step up local actions to sensitize militants on the virtues of living together, peace, stability, solidarity and promotion of positive diversity.
The CPDM in its role of custodian of the nation’s peace, unity and indivisibility is on the alert. Jean Nkuete has also stated that “these are basically actions by enemies of the Republic, manipulated by shadow forces both inside and outside the country, whose main objective is to undermine the stability of our institutions and subtly instill the venom of social unrest in our country in the run – up to the important 2025 election”.
He has thus called for vigilance.
