Cameroon government has been urged to draw up an emergency plan to help poverty-stricken children.
Figures revealing that 3.2 million youngsters live in severe poverty.
In some areas 1 in 3 were described as a < national scandal> by one of the leading agency, Save the Children.
The charity found that the Far North and the North and some areas in the West region have the highest proportion with over 65%. One of the researcher said that children are going to sleep at night in home in rural areas with no proper bedding, without eating a simple proper meal and without even having a proper school uniforms to put on.
No child should be born without a chance. Sos enfants in Cameroon approved the same conclusion and is trying to push the government to adopt new strategies to alleviate poverty amount children.
And after 28 years of Biya regime there are still million of children in some suburban area in Yaounde and Douala, where they have no access to clean water and even free food to eat and take home while authorities live in luxury and waste taxpayers monies buying 4x4 vehicles and enjoying life without taking action to relieve that extreme poverty.
It is clear that Biya regime has completely lost the ability to fight back against its critics, especially when it comes to fight against corruption and poverty.
The current social policy is scandalously flawed and in desperate need of radical reform. There is a very strong case for tearing up the whole social policy system to make it fairer, more efficient, simpler and to ensure children are the priority.
