The communiqué signed by D.O Ambang Fabian Kah, is addressed to all heads of security, sub- delegations, civil society organisations, managers of schools, religious authorities, political parties and elites, who are expected to be in Dschang on Friday, 3rd May 2019, at 10am.

Sources in Alou, say the Divisional Office and some other government structures have been operating from Dschang. These sources say the Senior Divisional Officer of Lebialem, had written to South West governor Okalia Bilai, informing him they would be working from Dschang, due to rising security concerns. It is alleged that they all only go down to Lebialem, when there’s an emergency, and are often accompanied by security officers.

In some government offices in Lebialem Division, a sector dominated by a dreaded separatists’ group Red Dragon, civil servants have been on self-proclaimed holidays due to insecurity.

Government has lately told concerned international observers that it was in full control of the situation in the Anglophone regions, although some of its workers still can't be guaranteed security, at their job sites and don’t show up at work.

The 47th edition of Cameroon's National Day celebrated on May 20, is one of the nation's most cherished events, as it celebrates national unity, cultural diversity and peace. However with the current unrest in the North West and South West, separatists have been ensuring that it is either boycotted or the turn out is low. For three years, the day has been accompanied by violent attacks, and threats, as most-stricken areas, haven't celebrated the event for three years, due to insecurity.
