Older women were protesting war and being taxed more than men to pay for the war and now 30 of them have been abducted by the people they were protesting against.

A group of 30 women were kidnapped by pro-independence rebels nearly four days ago in western Cameroon, which has been bloodied for more than six years by a conflict between separatists from the English-speaking minority and the security forces, according to authorities.

They were "severely tortured and abducted by armed terrorists" in the village of Kedjom Keku, in the North West region, where armed separatist groups frequently kidnap civilians, mainly for ransom, the prefecture of the Mezam department said in a statement Tuesday.

The authorities always use the word "terrorists" to refer to armed rebels demanding independence for the North-West and South-West regions, which they call "Ambazonia", populated mainly by the English-speaking minority of this predominantly French-speaking central African country.

“

A colonel in the army told AFP on Tuesday evening that some 30 women were abducted by separatists on Saturday morning and that they had not yet been found. The communication service of the Ministry of Territorial Administration confirmed to AFP that the authorities had "no news of the hostages" on Tuesday evening.

The day before their abduction, these "elderly" women were organising a "peaceful march to protest (...) against the exactions and criminal activities of the terrorists", the Mezam prefecture said.

The two English-speaking regions have been the scene of a deadly conflict since late 2016 between separatist rebels on one side, who call themselves the "Amba Boys" or "Amba Fighters", and the army and police on the other, both sides being regularly accused by international NGOs and the UN of crimes against civilians.

The conflict has left more than 6,000 people dead and forced more than a million people to move, according to the International Crisis Group (ICG) think tank.

- "Taxes"-

The women had "publicly demonstrated" the day before their abduction against "the exploitative activities of the Amba Fighters" and in particular the obligation imposed on civilians by the latter to pay them "monthly taxes of 10,000 CFA francs (15 euros) for men and 5,000 for women (7.50 euros)", explains in a statement the Centre for Human Rights and Democracy in Africa (CHRDA), an NGO based in Yaoundé which documents human rights violations in Africa.

The rebels claim that they collect these "taxes" to finance their "war effort for independence".

A video is circulating on social networks, purporting to show these women, sitting on the ground and obviously frightened, which AFP was unable to authenticate but which the CHRDA quotes and describes in its statement, ensuring that it was posted by the "Amba Boys".

Armed men insulted and threatened them, saying they were going to kill the women, whom they accused of "complicity with the military", according to the CHRDA, which denounced a "barbaric act" by their kidnappers.

Some armed rebel groups regularly carry out kidnappings for ransom of civilians, sometimes in large groups like the abduction of these 30 women, especially in schools that they accuse of teaching French.

They also regularly commit targeted assassinations against representatives of the authorities but also against civilians whom they accuse of "collaborating with the army".

Their abuses are regularly denounced by international NGOs and the UN, which also regularly accuse the army of committing fatal blunders against civilians, summary executions, acts of torture and even raids and killings in villages.

The conflict broke out at the end of 2016 after the violent repression of peaceful demonstrations by members of English-speaking civil society, some of whom feel ostracised by the French-speaking majority of this country, which has been ruled with an iron fist for more than 40 years by President Paul Biya, 90.

The latter has been intractable, even towards the more moderate who call for a federalist solution to the conflict, and his regime has deployed the elite army and police on a massive scale for more than six years to suppress the rebellion.

Reblog to raise awareness. Because so far CNN as just talked about Desantis, Florida and Disney.

Dadju and Tayc being asked to describe their home countries in one word and simultaneously explaining every thought i have ever had about my own is some kind of sh*t that if i get into it in detail the therapist will be seeing me. my God

#dadju #tayc #God bless the channels that do interviews with these men and then actually put subtitles for us Anglophones amen #they asked Dadju about the DRC and he said 'everything'. he lives in Congo in France every inch of him is Congolese from the food #to the clothes to the songs to the family it IS him. he breathes it #they asked Tayc about Cameroon and he said 'a goal'. bc his country is a beautiful beautiful country but there are too many #things that need to change and he wants to be part of the crowd that causes that change #and i sat there and thought ykw f*ck this this is exactly how i feel about DM. she is everything to me this island. i live in her in the US #as best as my parents have figured out how to make that happen and yet so many things are f*cked up with the government rn.#we're going on twenty-something years with the same f*cking administration and nothing getting done (albeit not the same #as the guy that's been in power in Cameroon since basically two f*cking years after my mother was born)#i still feel that disconnect when i go home like i am not quite Caribbean enough and then i am not American enough up here #it's just. hmmm. idk. this album is becoming very very personal now and i'm trying to parse that information

The weather today was truly demonic. Freezing. I need to buy gloves

#Another reason why I hate winter. It's expensive. You have to buy so much shit just to be able to go outside #Gloves. A scarf. A coat. Sweaters and pull overs. Tights. A beanie. A warm undershirt and underpants if it's really cold.#That's so much stuff!!!! When i lived in Cameroon I had 1 sweater and 1 light vest and that was enough.

i genuinely hate any wave of human history that has us like. Breed an animal to do a Job for us and then we just go "ok now I want them all dead" and it's always for some goddamned arbitrary reason that is inherently our fault and not at all the fault of the animal

#I always joke that I feel that way about pigs just bc they MEGA freak me out but. Like. Animals have value even without hsving jobs #and its very cruel to make an animal good at a job n then replace them and then decide their dpecies as a whole shouldnt live anymore #its very arrogant #people are like that with pigeons a lot n i always have tor emind them that WE BRED PIGEONS. A LOT OF MODERN PIGEONS ARE DESCENDENTS OF >#DOMESTIC PIGEONS WE KEPT AND THEN NO LONGER WANTED #AND NOW YOU WANNA KILL THEM?#im like getting rlly mad about this actually so onvs im gonna go jog about it but #how dare we.#im sure its just a big stupid twitter thing mostly but by god those ppl have never met an animal #at worst calling for the extermination of an animal is just being an entitled dick #even worse than that though is absolutely weaponizing the removal of work animals #LIKE horse-pulled carts n carriages in palestine (and MUCH less evil is in cameroon)

OK, as an Indian person and ESPECIALLY as a Scottish person I have to say this.

The current Palestinian Genocide (let's call a spade a spade) and lack of response is an unambiguously, direct result of British Colonialism.

Palestine was given/promised/whatever word you want to use to describe it to Israel by the British Empire to whom it "belonged" as a colony.

Everything that happened thereafter, the Nakba, every invasion, every injustice is a result of that colonial attitude from which Israel was born.

Everywhere the British Empire has been it has sewn chaos and promoted the abuse of human rights as it left. It has happened in India, it happened in Nigeria, South Africa, Cameroon and Australia.

The reason for such a lax UK governmental response is because if they acknowledge what's going on is fucked they have to take responsibility for so much more. By leaving these countries originally the UK has "washed their hands of it."

I want to make this extremely clear.

Britain's hands will NEVER be clean

The British Empire has committed the greatest atrocities known to mankind and the British Government does not want to acknowledge that.

Israel has been built from these imperial attitudes, has repeatedly and continually committed war crimes and human rights abuses and governments just... don't care

It's actually insane and we need to recognise the root of these humanitarian calamities and hold our government accountable.

Write to your MPs, your MSPs, your MSs make your voice heard in whatever way that you can! Your voice may seem weak but it is so incredibly powerful if enough people speak up, if enough people make sure that the government never forgets about these things we can make REAL CHANGE. The link below will allow for you to find your government representative be that N.Ireland Assembly Scottish, Welsh or UK Parliament as well as their emails.

https://www.theyworkforyou.com/

Tell them how horrible things are in Gaza, tell them about Israel's repeated and continuous mistreatment of the Palestinian people, tell them how the UK cannot continue to plug our ears and ignore the fallout of our past. Just say something!
