Ephriam Bam
The impact of the recent inter-tribal war between Mbesa and Oku has been felt right to the nation’s capital of Yaounde. This is said so following the visit of the personal representative of the First Lady Madam Chantal Biya; founding president of the Circle of Friends of Cameroon (CERAC) to Mbesa and some CERAC women to hand over gifts to the war victims as a sign of their consolation to them.
On the occasion to hand over gifts to the war victims in Mbesa, the founding president of CERAC-Madam Chantal Biya was represented by the minister of Commerce; Madam Ama Mouna. Welcoming the personal representative of the first lady to this locality, the mayor for Belo sub Division; Hon. Bernard Tosam thanked the Circle of Friends of Cameroon (CERAC) for the great attention it has given to Belo sub Division. He thanked this organization for visiting Mbesa shortly after it visited Mbingo Baptist Hospital during the World Leprosy Day. While regretting the consequences of the inter-tribal war between the two neighbouring villages, the mayor said Belo council has stood by the war victims of Mbesa to give them assistance since the war began, providing them resources such as food, clothing, rehabilitation work and also helping to keep the forces of law and order in the village to restore peace but lamented that their mega resource couldn’t continue to do enough for the people. He thanked CERAC for finally coming to their aid to rescue the people from their bad conditions. As an appeal to CERAC, the mayor declared that as the personal representative of the first lady returns to Yaounde, she should know that the Mbesa people are crying and seriously need assistance to rehabilitate the many homes destroyed and reconstruct the destroyed pipe borne water.
As a sign of gratitude and appreciation to the kind gesture of CERAC to their village, the former deputy mayor for Belo Sub Division on behalf of the people thanked the CERAC women for the significant consignment of gifts which they brought. To him, this consignment of gifts will bring some comfort to the war victims. In return for these gifts, he asked the CERAC women to give their appreciation to the first lady for her motherly gesture.
Talking to the people of Mbesa, the personal representative of the first lady to this occasion in the person of Madam Ama Mouna expressed shock and pains for the wonderful destruction she saw in the village. She called on the inhabitant of the village of Mbesa to be courageous and take heart for the unfortunate incident while stating that she and her members came purposely to console with the war victims and their families. She promised to recount her experience to the first lady when she returns to Yaounde for onward reaction. Under one of the key objectives of CERAC which is to give assistance to the needy, the CERAC women and the personal representative of the first lady brought to Mbesa some gifts which will help to lessen the pains the war victims are going through. The consignment of gifts to Mbesa to help the people included bags of rice, bush lamps, gallons to fetch water, margarine, cutlasses, hoes, mattresses, blankets, bed spreads among other things which were handed over to the fon of the village to distribute to the people.
