CPP collects assistance for victims of Boko Haram

Kah Walla launched a cereal collection drive and promised medical assistance to affected population during her address to the nation on Friday January 23, 2015.

Like any other Cameroonian, the Cameroon People’s Party, CPP, is preoccupied with the security situation in Far North. During her over 30-minute address to the nation on January 23, 2015 at party headquarters, Party President, Kah Walla made known her party’s stand as far the Boko Haram insurgency is concerned. “We will not falter in our determination to act in support of our compatriots and our soldiers.

As a people, we Cameroonians must do our part to ensure we win this war as swiftly and definitely as possible,” she poised. She regretted that the hostage taking as well as human and material loss is enormous. She said serious actions have to be taken to save the country from the dreaded sect. The winning strategy to her must include military, diplomatic, humanitarian and economic development components.

As a humanitarian strategy, she made mention of the Ministry of Agriculture’s announcement of grain shortage in the affected area saying victims of violent attacks can once again become victim of starvation if care is not taken. It was on that note that Kah Walla launched a cereal collection drive to help meet the grain deficit of 132,000 tonnes in Logone and Chari, Mayo-Tsanaga and Mayo-Sava Divisions.

She also made their intention to organise a medical mission in order to provide basic medical care and counselling to the affected population known. Since the crisis requires a global response, CPP will be carrying out an international communication campaign aimed at mounting pressure on concerned countries to put in all efforts in order to win the war. While fighting for the course, Kah Walla said they will continue to stand for justice and liberty.
