#MKPD
These pictures are of Kawa Yannick, he is on tour in Mamfe area, sensitising the general public and asking for Amba boys to #DropTheGuns and come back home. Kawa was one of the very first batch of Amba boys, recruited in Aug 2017 and trained by the Nigerian Militants.
Kawa has now defected, droped his guns since four weeks ago, and is now working to sensitise the other Amba boys to follow his lead.
Kawa Yannick will be busy all week on his tour, and we may not be able to speak with him live again until he has returned to Buea and is fully rested.

NB:
The first time I (MKPD) spoke with Kawa Yannick was Monday 22 Apr 2019. We spoke for almost one hour. Kawa was ready to speak publicly, but he was still afraid because of the terrorist threats to his immediate family.
Immediately after speaking with Kawa, I (MKPD) personally lobbied individual officials in the Cameroon gov.
I pleaded to one administrator in Yaounde that Kawa’s story was compelling, original, and authentic, that if we make it possible for Kawa to speak publicly about his personal experiences, we could convince hundreds of other Amba fighters to follow on Kawa’s example.
By Wednesday 25th April, to my greatest surprise, my advocacy landed with the right person in Yaoundé, and the finances were released as I requested, the funding to safeguard Kawa’s family.
By Friday 27 Apr 2019, our contact in Cameroon had already received the money, and already found a vacant accommodation for Kawa’s family to occupy.
On Saturday 28 Apr 2019, the Cameroon military detachment from Kumba was ordered to go to Mamfe and extract kawa’s family. On their way to Mamfe, they came under Amba attack, which delayed their progress, and as a result, when Kawa came on Facebook live show on this MKPD platform, the line was very unstable, but we managed to get Kawa on the program despite the difficulties and challenges we went through.
This is just an example of how certain individuals in Cameroon are working day and night to save the country. Rest assured, we are #WinningFatly, and we must #MashFire..
