It is a scene of incredible violence which chilled the blood of the inhabitants of Cameroon: Scandal on the presidential itinerary, the botched construction site which disgraces Biya!
– 2024-04-13 18:46:02″>Mbalmayo this morning. The body of Enyengue Fouda Josiane, a young mother, was found near a football field, left abandoned in the street. A sordid crime that plunged the city into fear and dismay.
A family drama that turns into a nightmare
According to the first elements of the investigation, Josiane was the victim of femicide. The main suspect is none other than the father of her daughter, with whom she had a violent argument a few hours before the tragedy. A dispute which would have tragically degenerated, taking the life of a young woman in the prime of her life.
The community in shock, the family devastated
The macabre discovery sent shockwaves throughout the community. Friends, neighbors, ordinary citizens… They all find it hard to believe that such an atrocity could have happened in their city. But it is especially for Josiane’s family that the nightmare is absolute. Losing a daughter, a sister, a mother, in such tragic circumstances, is an insurmountable ordeal.
The hunt for the suspect, a race against time
As soon as the body was discovered, the police launched a race against time to find the suspect. Thanks to meticulous investigative work and unfailing mobilization, the father of Josiane’s daughter was quickly arrested. He is currently at the Mbalmayo police station, where he is being questioned by investigators.
Femicides in Cameroon: a continuing scourge
Unfortunately, the tragedy that struck Mbalmayo is not an isolated case. As 237online.com points out, feminicides remain a persistent scourge in Cameroon. Every year, dozens of women lose their lives at the hands of their partner or ex-partner, leaving behind broken families and orphaned children.
It’s time to act, to break the silence
Faced with this tragedy, it is time to act. The authorities must take firm measures to protect women, strengthen laws against domestic violence and ensure that perpetrators are punished with the greatest severity. But it is also up to society as a whole to mobilize, to break the silence that too often surrounds these tragedies. Because each feminicide is a collective failure, an indelible stain on our humanity.
Today, all our thoughts are with the family of Enyengue Fouda Josiane. May she find the strength to overcome this unspeakable ordeal. And may Josiane’s sacrifice not be in vain, but serve as a catalyst for a national surge against violence against women. Because no mother, no sister, no daughter should live in fear. It is a fight that we must wage together, for Josiane and for all victims of femicide.
