2 min read
According to barrister Agbor Balla, a human rights activist, freedom fighter and founding president of the Centre for Human and Democracy in Africa, based in Cameron, there is no need to be blind on the marginalisation of Anglophones in the management of FECAFOOT. Below is his response to the publication of persons who will be managing the Football body in CAMEROON 🇨🇲
I am just from reading a press release of the resolutions adopted at the Ordinary Session of the Executive Committee held in Limbe on 16th February 2022 at Marcsons Hotel Fecafoot.
While acknowledging the fact it was a good initiative to hold the meeting in Limbe, I noticed that of ALL the members confirmed and approved for recruitment, Non is an ANGLOPHONE.
These is clearly marginalization of Anglophones.The newly recruited persons include;
• Mr. Benjamin Didier BANLOCK as Secretary General of FECAFOOT;
• Mr. DJITTA as Interim Financial Administrative Director;
• Mr. HAPPI SOHO FANGUEN Franck Hilaire as Director of Football
Development of FECAFOOT;
• Mr. DJOUNANG Blaise as Head of the Legal Affairs Department of
FECAFOOT;
• Mr. LOE Camille Jean Luc as Director of Cabinet of the President of
FECAFOOT;
• Mr. MABOANG KESSACK Emmanuel as Chargé de Mission of FECAFOOT.
I hope that with the mandate given to the President of FECAFOOT to proceed with the recruitment of four (4) other executives within the Federation; he will appoint Anglophones.
This is a A major set back for the Eto’o led Football Federation.
We should not be blinded by “Etomania”. I am a fan of Eto but i will equally condemn any acts and omissions of marginalization and discrimination against Anglophones.
Thanks
