Cameroon: Court case against anglophone activists adjourned to 27 July 2017

The case against detained anglophone activists has been adjourned once-more today after a short hearing at the military tribunal in Yaounde Cameroon by  the presiding Judge, Colonel Abega Eko, Eko.

The hearing today lasted just for 6mins. Details on the reasons of the adjournment had not been made public at the time of filing this report.Present at today's court session

was Cameroon's prominent opposition MP, Hon.  Joseph Wirba (SDF) who came to show his support for the detained activists.

The court last month decided  to remand in custody leaders of the country's English-speaking community on terror-related charges pending trial.

Contrary to the view that the incarceration of the Anglophone leaders will dampened the spirit of resistance and commitment to purpose, the leaders who are in good spirit are poised to maintain their stance. During a recent encounter with journalists from the North West region at the Kondengui prison,  Dr Fontem Neba said they want to be part of the solutions to the Anglophone problem and are not excited with being released.

Mancho Bibixy however raised worries over the nature of the negotiation. He wonders how fair discussions can take place when he and other Anglophones are in chains.
