With Mondays enforced as off-days from work in conflict-ridden Cameroon, gathering at dog meat eateries to consume the delicacy and drink alcohol has become a weekly pastime.

It is a pleasantly cold and invigorating Monday morning in the mountain town of Buea, about 70km from Cameroon’s economic capital of Douala. At dawn, the streets are conspicuously empty.

On a normal Monday prior to the onset of the Anglophone crisis, these people would be busy in their various workplaces. But since late 2016, Mondays have been forcefully declared and observed as an off-day following orders by Anglophone activists seeking to create an independent state they refer to as Ambazonia.

It deployed the American and Israeli-trained Rapid Intervention Battalion , an elite unit of the army that has been. The BIR’s response was brutal, radicalising many youths and pushing even moderates to extremes.

The priority is given to 404 club members who pre-ordered through a WhatsApp group he created to bring together lovers of dog meat. 404 is the code name for dog meat, said to have been conceived as a commendation of a dog’s ability to run as fast as the historic French-made Peugeot 404 car. For a slice of meat, the minimum price is just over R26 and it is accompanied by a few fingers of plantain. Jude sells on average two to three dogs worth of meat within two hours every Monday.

national disarmament, demobilisation and reintegration committee, has got on the bandwagon. Ebot passionately enforced “ghost town” as an active combatant before deserting his militia group in nearby Muyuka by the close of 2018.
