Witnessing the Aftermath of the Dschang Hill Landslide: A Call for Effective Disaster Response

Talk about scary, this is SCARY 😱😨😱😨

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

It breaks my heart to see my fellow citizens flee from death, watching property buried by the landslide on Dschang hill. This tragedy highlights the urgent need for a more effective natural disaster response and management system in Cameroon.

Its terrible that, just hours after a landslide, on a very steep, unstable slope, officials instructed the clearing of debris without conducting a geological survey. This decision simply increased slope pressure, making the area even more vulnerable to additional landslides.

Watching the bulldozers clear debris from the bottom of the slope was like watching a mass grave being dug. Whenever natural disasters strike, it's very important for us to take caution with every action and clear the area to avoid further losses.

"When you di shifter fufu, and then a small mountain form. When you clear the base for the small mountain or one corner for the mountain, nobi the top di just slide down na immediately?? Some of these things easy for understand I pray say make God give we wisdom for di see some of these things"

My thoughts and prayers are with those affected, and I hope this tragedy serves as a wake-up call for better natural disaster preparedness, response, and management.

May God help us, and may the victims find comfort and strength. 🙏🏻
