Anglophone conflict: Libianca cancels North American tour due to Separatist threats
The music sensation who rose to fame after a brilliant single People, said in Frifay that her team decided to cancel a tour scheduled for North America because Separatists fighting in Cameroon’s armed conflict in the North West and South West regions, threatened her for brandishing a Cameroon flag.
Libianca penned down the announcement in a handwritten letter her fans, expressing sadness for not honouring her promise. But noted that her safety was paramount.
One of such threats came from Belgium-based Separatist and spokesperson of the armed group, Batubu Kwifor, Sama Thomas Achoa, who runs a propaganda platform called Amba News Line.
Libianca said the threats multiplied after her Australian tour but she is hopeful that peace will one day return to the two regions and Cameroon will remain United Republic.
Recently some Separatists have been targeting civilians, intimidating them at gunpoint to raise their flags or face the consequences. Libianca is just a victim of such threats. Separatists claim to fight for the people but their activities tell the contrary.
