The population of the north west and south west regions of Cameroon are out on the streets again for a round of peaceful demonstration so as to urge the government seek quick and durable solutions to the problems plaguing the aforementioned regions.
The movement this time took the phase of an ancient traditional practice in the grass fields called the 'Takumbeng' movement. This is a special sacred movement manifested by women following powerful traditional norms and regulations. the Takumbeng is not very renown as it is only manifested in situations of great desperation and extremity in whatever be the case.
The Takumbeng has been unleashed a couple of times in the grass fields of Cameroon as shown below;
26th May 1990, prompted by the killing of about 6citizens during a pro democratic manifestation.
1992 presidential elections, when Fru Ndi was places under house arrest, the Takumbeng surrounded the compound to prevent his formal arrest.
1998, the Takumbeng provided a safe trip to Fru Ndi for a diplomatic mission abroad.
The strength of the Takumbeng is found in their powerful ritual practices and the peculiarity of their dressing during such calm protests.
As of now, the peaceful demonstration has met with some resistances from the forces of law and order. This has led to several injured persons and a life lost as of now. The day is not over yet
