Here below is the Release
PRESS RELEASE
The Conveners of the Anglophone
General Conference (AGC) met in Douala on Wednesday, 8th August 2018, to review
the situation and identify the necessary actions to be taken towards the
holding of a successful AGC. They noted with deep satisfaction that the
Government welcomed the initiative while expressing reservations on some
requests that were addressed to it. They appreciated the enthusiasm with which
Cameroonians of all the ten regions and all political leanings at home and
abroad received the announcement of the forthcoming conference, while taking
cognizance of the scepticism, doubt and hostility expressed by some voices.
They re-affirmed their determination to pursue, as politically neutral servants
of God concerned solely with the welfare of the people, this initiative which
is intended to lay the ground for finding a peaceful and lasting solution to
the Anglophone crisis and for a return to normal life in the Northwest and
Southwest regions.
The Conveners reviewed the various
tasks to be accomplished in preparation for the conference and to ensure that
this important gathering of the people of the Southwest and Northwest regions
achieves its noble objectives. They concluded that more time would be needed to
prepare for the conference. They, therefore, decided to postpone
the holding of the Anglophone General Conference in Buea, initially scheduled
for 29th and 30th August, to the 21st and 22nd November 2018.
The Conveners call upon the people
of the Northwest and Southwest regions, wherever they may be, to continue
preparations for their Individual attendance and effective participation in the
conference. They invite all Cameroonians to pray daily to the Almighty God for
the success of this conference and for the early return of peace and harmony to
the two Anglophone regions.
