2023-04-21 PRESS RELEASE ON THE TRIVIALISATION OF HATE SPEECH IN THE MEDIA Releases PRESS RELEASE ON THE TRIVIALISATION OF HATE SPEECH IN THE MEDIA Mr Claude ABE’s remarks have painfully offended the national conscience. They hurt the feeling of belonging to one nation. They resonate as a call for ethnic score-settling and undermine the cultural, linguistic and religious diversity, the matrix of the country's national identity, engraved in golden letters in the first sentence of the Preamble to the Constitution of Cameroon. It is undoubtedly a malicious rehashing of the stigma of a specific community, given that several communities are leaders in several different areas of national life in an ethnic-diverse context. Furthermore, it is the exacerbation of the identity equation, the apology of tribalism, accompanied by a discourse of hate and incitement to violence. The Commission strongly and unreservedly condemns such statements, wherever they come from, as they are irrational and constitute psychological violence against citizens and ethnocultural complexes thus stigmatised, as much as they erode national unity while deconstructing the cardinal social values in a multicultural society. The Commission stresses that the fight against hate speech is the business of all (public authorities, private sector, traditional authorities, religious authorities, educational community, associations, media professionals, sports clubs, families, etc.) and, first and foremost, of every Cameroonian citizen. The Commission will continue to extol, with Benetullière, the ‘benefits to society of the diversity of pluralism as such'.
