Breaking News - Mark Bareta's Mother Reportedly Abducted By Biya Forces - Mark Berata Responds!

Yesterday in the evening the mother of Southern Cameroonian Nationalist Mark Bareta was picked up by the Cameroonian forces yesterday from her country home at Buea to unknown destination.

Mrs Bareta in her late 50's is a strong member of Catholic Women Association and mother to the popular Southern Cameroon Journalist, Mark Bara.

It was learned that at the time of her arrest the police were asking her to produce Mark who is living abroad to them.

Her offence is because she gave birth to someone who opposes the Biya regime, till now no one knows where she was taken to. We shall update you on this soonest.
She is a woman of faith

Like every parent, you give birth to a child. You don't give birth to his or her heart/mind, or control their actions. As a strong CWA (Catholic women’s association) woman, she believes in justice and lives her own small life going to bed everyday worried to death, wondering whether I am safe or not.

She has numerous times over the years requested that I slow down but came to the conclusion that I am responsible for my own actions.

Just like any mother, father, boy, girl out there, she is the latest victim of the system. A system that has caused untold damages and heartache to several families on our land. She may not even be the last in my family that is targeted. La Republique frustrations will push them deeper down into unimaginable levels of darkness.

My actions are entirely mine. No one person in my family controls what I do. They can't, even if they try as some have done because political activism is my food and my life; for which I have sacrificed a great part of my personal life and I cannot rest, not when there is so much injustice in my country.

Abducting the poor woman who is in her late 50s is just another example of crimes against humanity. She is innocent and should not be held accountable for someone else’s actions.

My mum, a woman of faith. She has been abducted from our little home and taken to Buea Police station where she will pass her first night in behind bars. As I learned plans are there to whisked her to Yaounde. They are asking her to produce me, they claim she supports the struggle with money I sent to her. Laughable right?

A mother’s love, boundless and endless. How could I be any different, having come from an angel!

She is a woman of faith. She believes in her God. I recall our last chat on Sunday; her telling me she was visiting the Catholic Shrine at the Sasse vicinity with others to pray. I am confident as she sleeps in jail for a crime she knows nothing about, but for the fact that she was blessed to give birth to Mark Bareta,her God will not abandon her.

La Republique must know that keeping her or any other member of families of activist does not solve the conflict. It will never do until the right thing is done.

Southern Cameroons , Ambazonia is my home and no one will take that away from me.

The revolution continues
