The organizers of the protests, USA-
Joint Africa Initiative and the Cameroon Transitional Council, CCT in a
statement earlier said, their intention was to denounce a failed and oppressive
regime.
“Countless Cameroonians are arbitrarily arrested, raped and killed with
no (judicial) process. Kidnappings, barbaric crimes and human trafficking have
become rampant. We stand for the defenseless in Cameroon,” read the statement.

They said the protest was also in honor
of Monique Koumatekel who died under worrisome circumstances and was laid to
rest in Yabassi, same day the protest was taking place in the USA.
“We are preparing other protest demonstrations
during which we would be handing a memorandum to government officials,” said
Patrice Nouma, (in hat) one of the organizers of the USA picket.
The organizers of the Cameroon Diaspora
Black Friday Movement in South Africa, CDBFM on April 22 said,
more of such protests
would take place in not too distant future in Cameroon’s different diplomatic
representations worldwide.
“Cameroon would forever remain
indebted to all those who take part in these protests worldwide.
CDBFM gives
its support to such patriotic Cameroonians” said CDBFM’s Roland Chebefuh.
