Critics of Cameroon’s rehabilitation centers for former rebels are calling for a restructuring after some former rebels complained about the centers’ poor conditions. The former Anglophone rebels say the centers for Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) offer them little support and are failing to reach the goal of social integration.
More than 150 ex-fighters are in a dispute over the DDR center in Bamenda, capital of Cameroon’s English-speaking northwest region.
Among them is a 27-year-old man who identified himself as Dzever, who said he is receiving training to be financially stable as soon as he is allowed to leave the center.
