Hello, to all Steeming!. Yesterday, I posted the first part this post that is meant to explain why I have been away and what I have been or what I am going through. check out the first part: I'm Back After 3 Weeks - Part 1: I Got A New Device

Small Intro About Cameroon

As many might know, Cameroon is a bilingual country with English and French been our official languages. The country has ten with eight of them French speaking (Francophone) and the remaining two are English speaking (Anglophone) regions. For many years now, Anglophones have been complaining about marginalization by the Francophones.

The Cameroon Anglophone Crisis

The Cameroon Anglophone crisis or problem has been going on for almost two years. It started with anglophone lawyers striking against English been excluded in their activities and anglophone teachers striking against low salary. These strikes later matured and changed direction to demanding separation of country. I have never liked politics and choose not to write about it until now that I am down because of it.

Being an Anglophone, this is the second time that the Cameroon-Anglophone problem has majorly affected me. The first was actually when it all started back in November 2016. I had to quit at my 3rd year in the university (which I started just one month before) and went home because of the numerous strikes and killings that were happening in the town where I was schooling. Back at home, I was doing a lot of research on the internet as well as searching for minor jobs and I got to know about Bitcoin. While learning and having a mastery of Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency, I got to know about Steem and I joined Steemit on the 29th of June 2017. Actually, I have little or no regrets missing out of that school year because I feel that I learned a lot more than I would have learned in classrooms. After all, I came back to school the following year and I am now on the verge of completing my program that demands four years.

The second time is currently now. I and many other Anglophones have ran away from our towns to seek for safety (or call it refuge lol) in the French speaking towns because of two potential dates that “Separatists” declared that there might be an open war between them and the Military. These dates are the 1st of October (Independence Day of Ambazonia or English Cameroon) and 7th of October (Presidential Elections). Here is a clue To top it all, the reaction from the military is far worst than imaginable as many have been arrested and some killed without any motive. I had to leave because of the numerous gun shots and arrests made by the military on several visits in my neighborhood. Here is a clue.

I left Buea on Wednesday the 19th of September for Douala hoping to return on the 10th of October if everything remains calm. My family back home also moved to another town in the French speaking part of the country. Life here is very difficult for me and I can’t wait to get out of here. I had to withdraw all my Steem to support myself here. BTW, not much did happen or better still, no war occurred on the 1st of October but as the Independence day celebrations were done in small villages and not the major that everyone including the military was expecting. Anglophones in UK also did gather to honor the day. We are left to see how tomorrow would turn out.

Pray for Cameroon, Pray for me!
