Hello friends and family members on this prestigious ecosystem.Accept special greetings from Northwest region of Cameroon.It has been 8years now we are experiencing Ghost town day every Mondays .Due to the socio- political crisis that has hit the town for almost 8years .

This Ghost town has been declared by separatist fighters and for the fear of the unknown .The population has to respect and obey for their own safety. About 20000thoundand people have lost their life due tothe Anglophone crisis in my region.Its has not been easy for Government to resolve the conflict with separatists fighters .

Every Monday in location is declared as ghost .Everywhere locked , shops and business places .The streets are dry while people are indoors.It is possible to lose your life in hands of separatist fighters if you don’t obey their instructions. Early in the morning at 6:00am, I was up from bed .I prepared my kids breakfast and I had to work on my Master’s thesis for about 3hours .I had to stop and relaxed for sometime.
