Visionary Reports

The moderator of the Presbyterian church in Cameroon and President of the Council of Protestant Churches  the Rt. Rev. Fonki Samuel Forba has condemned the killing of women and children in Ngarbuh-Ntumbaw in the North west region.

The moderator also condemned gruesome acts perpetrated by both camps in the ongoing war in the North West and south West Regions of Cameroon.

 In a release, the moderator said “We out rightly condemn the killing of children, women and entire household in Ngarbuh – Ntumbaw. We equally denounce the ungodly act of burning a PCC house of worship at Mbufung – Bali. Once more, it has proven to us that military might or violence is not the solution to this problem. An insincere route to peace, half measures, lack of good will, a general insensitivity to the pain of God’s people, the hate speech and violence perpetrated by armed separatists, an extremely poor governance and selfish politics continues to fuel this crisis. Can we not implement in full all the proposals of the Grand National Dialogue? In this circumstance, the role of External Mediators just like before has become urgent and expedient. We have failed as a people to protect God’s children, surely God is vexed and we must repent as a nation” 

 This reaction came on the heels of continues killing in the affected regions especially the recent killings of about 22 villagers including seven children, two pregnant women in Ngarbuh-Ntumbaw in Donga Mantung Division of the North West Region of Cameroon.

 It should be recalled that the ongoing crisis has handicapped the church in so many domains as most schools and churches in the affected regions have been shutdown.
