La situazione in Camerun

Gli ultimi tre anni non sono stati i migliori in Camerun a causa dei lotti e un sacco di instabilità politica. Il Camerun è composto da dieci regioni e di questi dieci, due sono di lingua inglese, mentre otto sono di lingua francese. L’intero problema ora conosciuto come il problema anglofono iniziato il 10 ottobre 2016. Il problema anglofono, come si fa comunemente riferimento in Camerun, è una questione socio-politica radicata nel retaggio coloniale del Camerun dai tedeschi, inglesi e francesi. La questione classicamente e si oppone principalmente molti camerunesi dalle regioni nord-ovest e sud-ovest, molti dei quali si considerano anglofoni, al governo del Camerun. Ciò è basata sul fatto che queste due regioni (il Camerun del sud formalmente britannico) sono state controllate dalla Gran-Bretagna come territorio affidato e di fiducia della lega delle Nazioni e delle Nazioni Unite rispettivamente. “

La radice del ‘ problema anglofono ‘ in Camerun può essere fatta risalire al 1961, quando le élite politiche di due territori con diverse eredità coloniali-una francese e l’altra britannica-concordarono sulla formazione di uno stato federale. Contrariamente alle aspettative, ciò non prevedeva la parità di partenariato di entrambe le parti, figuriamoci per la conservazione del patrimonio culturale e l’identità di ciascuno, ma si rivelò essere solo una fase transitoria per l’integrazione totale della regione anglofona in uno stato fortemente centralizzato e unitario. Gradualmente, questo creò una coscienza anglofona: la sensazione di essere emarginati dallo stato dominato dai francofoni. Sulla scia della liberalizzazione politica nei primi anni 1990, gli interessi anglofoni è venuto per essere rappresentato in primo luogo da varie associazioni e gruppi di pressione che inizialmente ha chiesto un ritorno allo stato federale. Fu solo dopo il persistente rifiuto del governo Biya a discutere di questo scenario che la secessione divenne un’opzione palese con la popolarità del montaggio. La determinazione del governo di difendere lo stato unitario con tutti i mezzi disponibili, compresa la repressione, ha portato ad una escalation di richieste anglofoni oltre un punto di non ritorno. Il gruppo che ora non chiede nulla di un nuovo stato (uomini armati o combattenti per la libertà) ha per il passato in grave lotta con il governo.

I Cappuccini in Camerun sono prevalentemente residenti in questa parte interessata del paese dove a causa della lotta continua tra i militari del paese e dei uomini armati o combattenti per la libertà, tanto danno è stato testimoniato.  Tante case di civili sono state incendiate e molte sono attualmente senza casa.  Molte persone hanno trovato rifugio in alcuni dei nostri fraternità e in una parrocchia come il Sacro cuore parrocchia di Shisong, una delle parrocchie controllate dai Cappuccini, più di 300 persone vengono aiutati dai fratelli con l’alimentazione e la consulenza per aiutarli a non essere demoralizzati a causa alla violenza. Come ora, nessuno può davvero dire come la situazione può girare per essere, ma noi preghiamo per il meglio delle soluzioni nel prossimo futuro.Non solo i fratelli aiutano quelli sfollati a livello interno come le loro case sono state bruciate o a causa di una lotta quotidiana, ma molti sono anche nelle prigioni e i frati cappuccin aiutano a nutrire queste persone e aiutarle anche con i farmaci.

Emmaus Centre the Citadel of Charity. what motivates us ? why not join us !

Countless initiatives are undertaken every day by the Christian community in order to offer closeness and a helping hand in the face of the many forms of poverty all around us. Often too, our cooperation with other initiatives inspired not by faith but by human solidarity, make it possible for us to provide help that otherwise we would have been unable to offer.

The realization that in the face of so much poverty our capacity for action is limited, weak and insufficient, leads us to reach out to others so that, through mutual cooperation, we can attain our goals all the more effectively. We Christians are inspired by faith and by the imperative of charity, but we can also acknowledge other forms of assistance and solidarity that aim in part for the same goals, provided that we do not downplay our specific role, which is to lead everyone to God and to holiness. Dialogue between different experiences, and humility in offering our cooperation without seeking the limelight, is a fitting and completely evangelical response that we can give.

In the service of the poor, there is no room for competition. Rather, we should humbly recognize that the Spirit is the source of our actions that reveal God’s closeness and his answer to our prayers. When we find ways of drawing near to the poor, we know that the primacy belongs to God, who opens our eyes and hearts to conversion. The poor do not need self-promoters, but a love that knows how to remain hidden and not think about all the good it has been able to do. At the centre must always be the Lord and the poor. Anyone desirous of serving is an instrument in God’s hands, a means of manifesting his saving presence
