The traditional leaders of the South West region announce that they will not take part in the National Unity Day on May 20th.
This announcement joins those of the MRC and the SDF, all of whom renounced the celebration of national unity this year. The English-speaking regions of the country are in the grip of wars and massacres.
Therefore, it is incongruous to celebrate National Day in one part of the Nation while the other party is experiencing continuous and horrible unrest.
