Cameroonian Content Creator Skid Comedy speaks out 🗣️ “April 29, 2018 a Sunday morning I will never forget.
We were in church when someone suddenly ran in shouting, “The di come!”
Anyone who has lived through the Anglophone crisis understands what that means it’s time to run for your life.
Without hesitation, everyone started running. We hadn’t gone more than 20 meters before the sound of gunfire filled the air. Bullets were flying everywhere. Houses were set on fire, and before long, our entire village was burning. Everything turned to ashes, leaving us homeless to this day.
My father was a cocoa buyer. He had stocked cocoa in his store, hoping to sell it when prices went up. But everything the cocoa, his money, and all his belongings was burned to the ground. We stood helplessly on a hill, watching our own homes being consumed by flames. That day, many of our brothers and sisters were killed not by “stray bullets,” but by bullets deliberately sprayed into the crowd.
We fled to the farms, where we lived for weeks with no food, no clean water, and no shelter. We were forced to eat raw plantains and bananas, and drink stagnant water full of insects. I nearly lost my life, but by God’s grace, I survived. To this day, I don’t know exactly how it was nothing short of a miracle.
Having personally experienced the pain and horror of the Anglophone crisis, I want to plead with my fellow Anglophone Cameroonians:
As tensions rise around the presidential election, please do not take part in any form of protest or riot.
We, the Anglophone community, have suffered enough we have been k!lled, mistreated, and violated beyond measure.
Let’s stay safe”
