Cameroon Calls On Plantation Workers to Return to Restive Western Regions: Cameroon
The CDC said it wants thousands of workers back at banana, palm oil, and rubber plantations in the restive Southwest region. Managers of the state-run giant on Monday visited towns and villages in the region to meet with workers who fled unrest in 2018 and ask them to return.
"Most of them are doing mean jobs in many areas of this country, so we are calling them to come back," he said."Their security is being guaranteed by the state and we have seen in the last six months there is relative calm. For those who had wounds, we think that their wounds are healed, and the CDC management is taking care of them. Our members should come back to work."
In 2018, the rebels ordered workers to leave the plantations and warned that those who refused would be attacked.
