STATEMENT FROM Nphifon Senator Regina Mundi

MESSAGE OF SOLIDARITY ADDRESSED TO THE WOMEN OF KEDJOM KEKU AGRIEVED BY THE BARBARIC CRUELTY OF GUN-CARRYING YOuTHS IN THE VILLAGE.

It is with great sorrow and consternation that we saw pictures and watched videos of women, all advanced in age, being brutalized and taunted by gun men in our village. We condemn in the strongest possible terms the barbaric and inhuman treatment to which these women were subjected. Fumbwin’s customary role as the voice and conscience of the people in difficult times is well known and respected. That young men should abrogate to themselves, the right to levy and collect taxes, without the knowledge or approval of the village council or Fon, is what these brave women went out to march against. These “crazy women” as labelled by one of the gunmen are some body’s mother, grand mother or sister. Kedjom women are known for their hard-working and peaceful nature. This attack on these defenseless women who came out to express their unhappiness with so-called “Amba” is not only cowardly and barbaric in its very nature, but a stain on the very good name of all Kedjom Keku people. These disrespectful young men have no place in our society.  We stand in solidarity with these women and call on all men and women of good-will to rally to their support.

Senator Regina Mundi Nphifon
