Em uma entrevista para a ACI África, uma agência de mídia irmã da RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA na última terça-feira, 12 de janeiro, o co-autor das memórias do Cardeal Tumi, Martin Jumbam disse que era importante para o Cardeal narrar sua experiência com os sequestradores porque “O governo sempre suspeitou que ele apoiasse as forças da oposição nos Camarões”.
“Neste livro, o cardeal deixa bem claro que não apóia esses caras no mato, embora o governo suspeite que ele seja um dos apoiadores, porque ele diz aos separatistas, muito claramente, que não apóia o que eles são fazendo ”, disse Jumbam. Ele acrescentou: “O cardeal diz que não apóia a repressão do governo, que levou à tomada de armas. Ele mantém sua neutralidade e diz que tudo o que ele quer ver é o silêncio das armas e o retorno da paz à terra ”.
Em 5 de novembro, o infatigável cardeal de 90 anos foi sequestrado em Baba I, uma aldeia ao longo da estrada Bamenda-Kumbo (região Noroeste). Ele foi libertado no dia seguinte. Os detalhes do que os responsáveis pelo sequestro do cardeal Tumi lhe disseram apareceram em um vídeo compartilhado nas redes sociais, com o arcebispo emérito da arquidiocese de Douala dos Camarões, calmo e recolhido enquanto dava respostas a algumas das perguntas de seus captores.
No vídeo de 5,47min, o cardeal camaronês que havia sido sequestrado junto com outras 12 pessoas, incluindo o tradicional chefe da tribo Nso, Fon Sehm Mbinglo II, é acusado, pelos captores, de “criar problemas em nosso território” e que eles o segurou para “interrogatório”.
Durante a entrevista de 12 de janeiro com a ACI África, que foi disponibilizada para RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, o Sr. Jumbam, que apresenta programas na Radio Veritas da Arquidiocese Católica de Douala, disse: “O auge do livro é o intercâmbio que ele teve com os meninos que o prenderam, que o mantiveram sob controle em uma pequena casa de fazenda no noroeste do país, onde passou a noite com seu motorista, e no dia seguinte vieram até ele e estavam fazendo um vídeo divulgando-o pelo mundo.”
“Eles deram a ele a oportunidade de dizer o que pensa sobre a luta e os acontecimentos no país e por que ele se opõe aos seus pontos de vista como pastor”, acrescentou o jornalista católico. Ele ainda disse em referência à partilha do Cardeal nas memórias: “Ele fala sobre o que é errado como negar às crianças o direito de ir à escola, um de seus parentes patrocinando suas ações, e daí ele dá a conclusão dizendo que o governo e a oposição armada deve chegar a um entendimento no diálogo, os soldados devem voltar para os quartéis e então os combatentes devem depor as armas em troca ”.
O noroeste e o sudoeste dos Camarões, as duas regiões anglófonas da nação centro-africana, têm experimentado violência desde 2016, depois que o destacamento de professores e juízes francófonos para a região historicamente marginalizada de língua inglesa foi resistido por meio de protestos. Os protestos, que se tornaram violentos, envolveram advogados e professores nas regiões anglófonas. Eles resistiram à implantação de seus homólogos francófonos, argumentando que as duas regiões operavam sob diferentes sistemas legais e educacionais. Na entrevista de 12 de janeiro à ACI África, também concedida à RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, o Sr. Jumbam, que também é tradutor e intérprete, explicou que a memória do Cardeal Tumi, lançada na Solenidade de Maria, Mãe de Deus, em 1º de janeiro também visa defender a paz na nação centro-africana. “Precisamos de paz para voltar à nossa terra. É isso que o Cardeal está implorando. Na verdade, é o cerne da mensagem que ele deu aos jovens no mato e a mensagem também vai para o governo ”, disse o Sr. Jumbam. Ele continuou: “A luta já dura cinco anos e nossos filhos não puderam voltar para a escola”.
“Temos Pessoas Internamente Deslocadas das duas regiões que estão inundando partes de nossas terras, algumas do outro lado da fronteira com a Nigéria. Por isso, o Cardeal pede que a violência acabe e chegue ao diálogo para que a paz volte e todos voltem para suas casas ”, disse ainda o jornalista católico. Na conclusão das memórias de 12 capítulos, o Sr. Jumbam disse à ACI África em 12 de janeiro: “o Cardeal também fala ao governo e à oposição armada para chegar a um entendimento no diálogo; os soldados devem voltar para o quartel e, em seguida, os combatentes devem depor as armas em troca ”. Uma edição internacional das memórias do Cardeal Tumi está na imprensa nos Estados Unidos e deve ser lançada em 22 de janeiro.

«Dans ce livre, le cardinal explique très clairement qu’il ne soutient pas ces gars dans la brousse bien que le gouvernement le soupçonne d’être l’un des partisans car il dit très clairement aux séparatistes qu’il ne soutient pas ce qu’ils sont. faire », a déclaré Jumbam. Il a ajouté: «Le cardinal dit qu’il ne soutient pas la répression du gouvernement, qui a conduit à la prise des armes.

Le 5 novembre, l’infatigable cardinal de 90 ans a été enlevé à Baba I, un village le long de la route Bamenda-Kumbo (région du Nord-Ouest). Il a été libéré le lendemain. Les détails de ce que les responsables de l’enlèvement du cardinal Tumi lui ont raconté sont ressortis d’une vidéo partagée sur les réseaux sociaux, l’archevêque émérite de l’archidiocèse de Douala du Cameroun étant considéré calme et rassuré alors qu’il répondait à certaines des questions de ses ravisseurs.
Dans la vidéo de 5,47 minutes, le cardinal camerounais qui avait été enlevé aux côtés de 12 autres personnes, dont le chef traditionnel de la tribu Nso, Fon Sehm Mbinglo II, est accusé, par les ravisseurs, de «créer des problèmes sur notre territoire» et qu’ils l’avait retenu pour «interrogatoire».
Lors de l’entrevue du 12 janvier avec ACI Afrique qui a été mise à la disposition de RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, M. Jumbam, qui anime des émissions sur l’archidiocèse catholique de Radio Veritas, propriété de Douala, a déclaré: «Le comble du livre est l’échange qu’il a eu. avec les garçons qui l’ont arrêté, qui le tenaient sous contrôle dans une petite ferme du nord-ouest du pays où il a passé la nuit avec son chauffeur, puis le lendemain, ils sont venus le voir et ont pris une vidéo la diffusant dans le monde.”
«Ils lui ont donné l’occasion de dire ce qu’il pense de leur lutte et des événements dans le pays et pourquoi il s’oppose à leurs vues en tant que pasteur», a ajouté le journaliste catholique. Il a ajouté en référence au partage du Cardinal dans les mémoires: «Il parle de ce qui ne va pas, comme refuser aux enfants le droit d’aller à l’école, l’un de ses proches parrainant leurs actions, et à partir de là, il donne la conclusion en disant que le gouvernement et l’opposition armée devrait s’entendre dans le dialogue, les soldats devraient retourner à la caserne et les combattants devraient déposer les armes en retour.
Le nord-ouest et le sud-ouest du Cameroun, les deux régions anglophones de la nation centrafricaine, subissent des violences depuis 2016 après que le déploiement d’enseignants et de juges francophones dans la région anglophone historiquement marginalisée ait été combattu par des manifestations. Les manifestations, devenues violentes, ont impliqué des avocats et des enseignants des régions anglophones. Ils ont résisté au déploiement de leurs homologues francophones en faisant valoir que les deux régions fonctionnaient sous des systèmes juridiques et éducatifs différents. Dans l’interview du 12 janvier avec ACI Africa également communiquée à RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, M. Jumbam, qui est également traducteur et interprète, a expliqué que les mémoires du cardinal Tumi qui ont été lancés à la solennité de Marie, Mère de Dieu, le 1er janvier vise également à plaider pour la paix dans la nation centrafricaine. « Nous avons besoin de paix pour retourner sur nos terres. C’est ce que plaide le cardinal. C’est en fait le cœur du message qu’il a transmis aux jeunes de la brousse et le message va également au gouvernement », a déclaré M. Jumbam. Il a poursuivi : «Les combats durent depuis cinq ans et nos enfants n’ont pas pu retourner à l’école.»
« Nous avons les personnes déplacées à l’intérieur des deux régions qui inondent des parties de nos terres, certaines de l’autre côté de la frontière avec le Nigéria. Ainsi, le cardinal plaide pour que la violence cesse et aboutisse au dialogue afin que la paix puisse revenir et que tout le monde rentre chez lui », a ajouté le journaliste catholique. Dans la conclusion du mémoire de 12 chapitres, M. Jumbam a déclaré à ACI Afrique le 12 janvier, «le Cardinal s’adresse également au gouvernement et à l’opposition armée pour parvenir à un accord dans le dialogue; les soldats devraient retourner à la caserne, puis les combattants devraient déposer les armes en retour. Une édition internationale des mémoires du cardinal Tumi est dans la presse aux États-Unis et devrait être publiée le 22 janvier.
Information reaching the office of RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA indicates that a new book published under the title, “My Night in Captivity”, by Christian Cardinal Tumi has clearly narrated his ordeal in the hands of his abductors. Recall that this Cardinal was kidnapped last year. Cameroon’s Cardinal who was freed after a night with his abductors last November has narrated his ordeal in a new book, Christian Cardinal Tumi’s memoir published under the title, “My Night in Captivity.”
In an interview with ACI Africa, a sister media outfit of RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA last Tuesday, January 12, the co-author of Cardinal Tumi’s memoir, Martin Jumbam said that it was important for the Cardinal to narrate his experience with the kidnappers because “the government has always suspected him of supporting opposition forces in Cameroon.”
“In this book, the Cardinal makes his position very clear that he does not support these guys in the bush although the government suspects him of being one of the supporters because he tells the separatists, very clearly, that he does not support what they are doing,” Jumbam said. He added, “The Cardinal says that he does not support the government crackdown, which led to the taking of arms. He maintains his neutrality and says that all he wants to see is the guns silent and peace return to the land.”
On November 5, the 90-year-old indefatigable Cardinal was kidnapped at Baba I, a village along the Bamenda-Kumbo road (North-West region). He was freed the following day. Details of what those behind the abduction of Cardinal Tumi told him emerged in a video shared on social media, with the Archbishop emeritus of Cameroon’s Douala Archdiocese seen calm and collected as he provided responses to some of the questions from his captors.
In the 5.47min video, the Cameroonian Cardinal who had been abducted alongside 12 other people, including the traditional Chief of the Nso tribe, Fon Sehm Mbinglo II, is accused, by the captors, of “creating problems in our territory” and that they had held him for “questioning.”
During the January 12 interview with ACI Africa which was made available to RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, Mr. Jumbam, who hosts programs on the Catholic Archdiocese of Douala-owned Radio Veritas, said, “The height of the book is the exchange he had with the boys who arrested him, who had him under control in a small farmhouse in the northwestern part of the country where he spent the night with his driver, and then the next day they came to him and were taking a video spreading it around the world.”
“They gave him an opportunity to say what he thinks about their struggle and events in the country and why he opposes their views as a pastor,” the Catholic journalist added. He further said in reference to the Cardinal’s sharing in the memoir, “He talks about what is wrong like denying children the right to go to school, one of his relatives sponsoring their actions, and from there he gives the conclusion by saying that the government and the armed opposition should come to an understanding in dialogue, soldiers should go back to the barracks and then the fighters should lay down their arms in return.”
Northwest and Southwest Cameroon, the two Anglophone regions of the Central African nation, have been experiencing violence since 2016 after the deployment of Francophone teachers and judges to the historically marginalized English-speaking region was resisted through protests. The protests, which turned violent, involved lawyers and teachers in the Anglophone regions. They resisted the deployment of their Francophone counterparts arguing that the two regions operated under different legal and educational systems. In the January 12 interview with ACI Africa also made privy to RECOWACERAO NEWS AGENCY, RECONA, Mr. Jumbam, who is also a translator and interpreter, explained that Cardinal Tumi’s memoir that was launched on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God on January 1 also aims at advocating for peace in the Central African nation. “We need peace to return to our land. This is what the Cardinal is pleading for. It is actually the core of the message he gave to the young people in the bush and the message also goes to the government,” said Mr. Jumbam. He continued, “The fighting has been going on for five years and our children have not been able to go back to school.”
“We have the Internally Displaced Persons from the two regions who are flooding parts of our land, some across the border into Nigeria. So, the Cardinal is pleading for the violence to end and come to dialogue so that peace can return and everybody goes back to their homes,” the Catholic journalist further said. In the conclusion of the 12-chapter memoir, Mr. Jumbam told ACI Africa January 12, “the Cardinal also speaks to the government and the armed opposition to come to an understanding in dialogue; soldiers should go back to the barracks and then the fighters should lay down their arms in return.” An international edition of Cardinal Tumi’s memoir is in the press in the U.S. and it is expected to be released on January 22.
