Must Lecturers Strike Before They Are Listened To?

By Gweningom

There is a school of thought that opines that in Cameroon, the only language authorities understand best is a strike action.

Those with this view point may not be far from the truth as this line of thinking was exhibited Tuesday December 14,2021.

Lectures laid down their tools demanding the payment of emolument(financial package in the form of compensation) in a strike action called for by the National Union of Teachers of Higher Education (SYNES-UBa) 

Students on their part were loitering around after paying high transport fairs from Bamenda to Bambili and inhaling a good quantity of dust on the way.

At the close of the day, a document emerged from SYNES-UBa  suspending the strike action.


Strike Suspension Order

The reason advanced was that they want to "provide a corridor for for the ongoing payment by all schools and facilities which started at 5:22PM Tuesday to role the end."

A day lost can never be recovered. Waiting for persons to go on an industrial strike action before their voices are heard is old fashion and will continue to take us as a country decades back.

My Visit To Mbengwi Road After The Burnings,Killings

Image
 By Gweningom The news about hundreds of houses being burnt to ashes at Mbengwi Road in Bamenda and the carnage that has befallen the victims was enough reason for me to go see things for myself. I started witnessing the pain the victims of the voilent arson attacks are going through at Hospital Round About. I saw red eyes looking people with long faces all supporting their jaws with their hands. Shops burnt at Hospital Round About They sat in front of the seven shops that were burnt by men in military uniforms at Hospital Roundabout. Many other businesses around the area did not open their doors, some say it was in solidarity while others say they did not open their businesses because of fear. From Hospital Round About, the evidence was clear that Mbengwi Road was not going to be easy. The absence of the normal hustling and bustling that is typical of that vicinity was absent. It was as if they were mourning. Going towards Azeri Old Church Junction, many shops were also locked....

Questions have been asked whether those in charge are waiting for many more to die before the road can finally have a taste of a good tar after a long while. Drivers have complained how they barely see upcoming vehicles because of the dust, The road is covered by dust and this is very dangerous because it can cause serious accidents if care is not taken, says Che, a cab driver.
