A revolting case is shaking the Cameroonian community, highlighting the total abandonment of our compatriots abroad. Tchakounte Amandine, who died in the United Arab Emirates, finds herself at the heart of an odious bargaining that defies understanding. This chilling story, reported exclusively by 237online.com, raises crucial questions about the protection of our nationals abroad.
A tragic death turned into a diplomatic nightmare
Victim of a cerebral hemorrhage, Tchakounte Amandine died far from her family, on Emirati soil. But this family drama takes a nightmarish turn when the question of the repatriation of her remains arises.
The deafening silence of the Cameroonian consulate
Faced with the family’s distress, the Cameroonian consulate has been conspicuous by its inaction. When contacted by the deceased’s relatives, it merely offered a laconic ” We can not do anything with it“. A response that says a lot about the abandonment of our compatriots in a foreign land.
The shocking proposal of the Emirati authorities
In this diplomatic vacuum, the Emirati authorities are putting forward a ” solution » which is chilling: they offer their help for repatriation, but on an inhuman condition – the removal of eight organs from the body of the deceased.
A family trapped in poverty and indifference
Caught between the hammer of poverty and the anvil of diplomatic indifference, Tchakounte Amandine’s family finds itself facing an unbearable dilemma. Accept this macabre proposition or leave the body of their loved one thousands of kilometers away?
To make matters worse, the Emirati authorities have set a three-day ultimatum. After this deadline, the body will remain on Emirati soil, depriving the family of any hope of dignified mourning.
A call for national solidarity
Faced with this revolting situation, a surge of national solidarity is essential. Shouldn’t the Cameroonian diaspora, often celebrated for its remittances, mobilize to repatriate Tchakounte Amandine’s body with dignity?
This case goes beyond a simple family tragedy. It highlights the gaping holes in our system of consular protection and raises questions about the value we place on the lives – and deaths – of our compatriots.
Will the fate reserved for Tchakounte Amandine be a reflection of our humanity or our collective indifference?
