Amadou Ahidjo Resignation full Speech

FORMER STUDENT LEADER, Ashu Shamy, BREAKS SILENCE ON UB CRISIS

The one time President of the University of Buea Students’ Union (UBSU), Ashu Hail shamy, speaks out at last after a long period of silence. Ashu, who led the Students’ Union in 2012, came out frankly on Wednesday July 1, 2014 to address many issues Cameroonians have been anxious to hear for a long time now. He spoke to The SUN’s Atia Azohnwi in an exclusive online interview.

Journalist: Good day Sir, and Welcome to this Platform. What is your take on the crisis that has plagued the University of Buea since the beginning of 2013?

Ashu: Thank you very much Mr. Journalist. Well, let me say prestissimo, that I had decided to keep silent on this issue over a long time now, and would not want to violate that personal decision. However all I can say is I did quit the politics of the University immediately after graduation. You see Mr. Journalist, the crises in the University of Buea did not commence only in 2013. I make bold to tell you that these problems are perennial. They have a generational cause that goes with every administration. If you can still remember vividly well, after Dr. Nalova Pauline Egbe Lyonga, was appointed, you and a host of Journalist including the CRTV, came and asked me this same question; Is UBSU, happy today because the former VC, Prof Vincent PK Titanji, has been replaced? And I told all of you categorically that “The problem UB is having is not the problem of VC, or UBSU or SYNES. It is a system of governance and until there are adjustments from the top, UB shall always be like this.

Journalist: When you say adjustments from the Top, what do you mean?

Ashu: You see, according to the pure theory of Law by Hans Kelson, every norm in the Legal system gets its force from the grundnorm. The grundnorm commands all other norms in the system and not the other way round .This I mean, there is a hierarchy of authority in Cameroon and UB, is just a subset of that system. It gets its force and power from the higher authorities above it. So you understand where I’m driving from.

Journalist: It was only during your reign as UBSU President, when UB recorded very few or no Strikes. How did you succeed to achieve that?

Ashu: Well, as I have often taught my colleagues and close collaborators at the time of my reign in UBSU, I said at all times, Leadership is a call to serve, and at all time, we must come down to the level of servants. If you want to be served, you must serve others. Humility, the call to selfless service to our course was our goal.
Equally, I have often said that, what matters in a fight is not the size of the Man in the fight but the size of the fight in the Man. These 2 principles founded the base of our mass success. I believe in the force of argument and not the argument of force. One more thing that helped me a lot to the realization of a dream which to many seemed impossible was the adoption of the policy of non alliance. It has often been a tradition that once you’ve been elected into office, the next moment was to seek for allies, to stand as your force and push. We surreptitiously stayed away from all these angles and I told my boys, Guys, let’s try this system out, we don’t hate any and do not love any, and the ones we love and should die for are our Students. This system was rare in the system as no one from the various angles could ever predict or even understand our direction. This worked seriously yet caused me a lot of enmity within the other 2 influential cores of the University even up till today.

Journalist: You talk of Cores in the University, Is the University of Buea made up of cores?

Ashu: Let me start here by saying that, where many people are, with lots of vested interest, the tendency is that, they come together in groups, to easily seek ways to achieve their common goals. These are the reasons why we have Trade unions, Syndicates Unions and associations today, UBSU, SYNES, I want to believe the journalists have one too, except you would tell me no. As I said, my strategies could never be anticipated by any. We could hold a meeting today and decide on a particular subject but when the time comes, I become very objective so as not to jeopardize the interest of the students at one point. I can remember vividly well when, one high ranking official of the administration felt so frustrated with my submissions at the University Senate and caused him to say in Public “Madam, we should not trust Him, he will disappoint us”. At some point, I promised some of them of a shift in their positions if they do not keep their hands off students’ Affairs and continuously cause chaos in the University. Some stopped while others persisted and it occurred as I had promised them. I just felt sorry for some who became victims of circumstance. Some vowed and even told me I shall have time to pay for it.

Journalist: You at one time warned the entire University Lecturers and the administration to stay away from Students’ affairs and stop causing disorder on Campus, else the UB will be very uncomfortable for everybody when you leave. Were you aware of the Strike programs coming up?

Ashu: You see Mr. Journalist; it shows you really followed events at that time. Let me tell you this, Leadership is a call. It requires wisdom. At every point in time, you must aspire to grow through leadership and not go in it. You must live remarks everywhere you go, and as a Leader you must be able to study the environment, your jurisdiction of operations before your term runs over. If you do not understand that principle, then you only went through leadership. You did not grow through it. During the last Senate of the year that was in August 2012, I came out boldly and gave all Senators present a brief lecture on how the University managed to survive, in spite of the huge and constant time bombs in 2012. I Went further to tell them the causes of all the misunderstandings the university has been facing and the solutions I found out. In conclusion, I gave them a way-forward to maintain that calm environment else 2013 shall be a calamity for the school. It appeared the message did not sound so well, so on the last day before the graduation ceremony; I went to the VC again to remind her of my message to the University. Luckily enough the VC could not listen to it alone, so she gathered all her collaborators inside her office to listen to me talk. I spoke to them and gave them the same way-forward, and if they failed to listen to me, they should start expecting the heat from the first week of school in 2013, which came as I had anticipated.

Journalist: UBSU today has been banned. Do you think the Problems of UB are over?

Ashu: You make me laugh Mr. Journalist. What has killed the world today is the mode of passing judgment. The world at all times punishes the effect; they do not punish the cause. Banning UBSU is just creating a huge unknown war that may finally land UB to its calamitous end. What happened to the SUG of UNILAG-Nigeria? Is it not the same? Have the problems finished? The Bible says “Darkness and sorrow shall endure for the night, but joy cometh in the morning” Let me tell you this; The students of UB, shall be liberated from the bondage of tyranny, elitism, handicapism, eliminationism, ethnic cleansing, forced conversion, supremacism, rankism, mentalism, ethno- classism and the like and be led into absolute freedom. Christianity has struggled for survival since after Jesus Christ shed His blood for humanity, it has suffered, its leaders persecuted, killed as well, but has Christianity been wiped out? Why? Because it is a just cause. UBSU, fights for a just cause, and the blood of the students who died for it shall strengthen and keep it alive forever. They can kill its leaders but UBSU shall survive for ever, its powerful name shall never perish. It’s a pity that Leaders of such a powerful youth sector of the nation can only survive from the economy of foreign Lands; Its leaders have been murdered in cold blood, become refugees and semi refugees in foreign lands, some tortured, molested, imprisoned, Exiled, Killed, frustrated, threatened, victimized, others deprived from graduating and defending their thesis, murder attempts, meanwhile the cowards sit on top of plenty.

AN ARTICLE ON THE SOUTHERN CAMEROONS' CLAIM FOR SECESSION AND INDEPENDENCE FROM LA REPUBIQUE DU CAMEROUN

INTRODUCTION.

        The people of southern Cameroons via the southern Cameroons’ National Council (SCNC) have faced a period of trial and temptations what we can today politically refer to as “the southern Cameroons’ struggle”. After a period of prolonged deliberations and arguments on the basis for the SCNC claims to secession and Independence, a long ideological war saw no hope of coming out of the slum. The people saw no hope in their present and future, faced with another form of colonization after colonization, through illegal territorial acquisition, naked aggression, open brutality and abuse of the right of humanity, yet there is a claim of oneness, togetherness and unity, many have had this to say. 

          No matter how the world might look at it, using whatever narrations or parameters of ascertainment of the truth, what is paramount to note is the fact that none of such narrations, Interpretations and parameters shall never give a well justified fact with concrete proofs supporting them. A moment in history where people found themselves moving on the spot, found themselves wanting in the midst of plenty, though of a well traced ancestry and defined national boundary, shall not go without a final relief, the view of optimists. The origin of all these worries has been a question of unity or the existence of a union. Many have argued that there never existed and still do not exist any union binding Southern Cameroons and La Republique du Cameroun. 

            Many have held an opposing view and hold that 1961 saw a union between the two Cameroons when the former chose to vote to join the Republique of Cameroun in order to be independent. Questions of illegality of the voting process, the no treaty voice, the absence of a valid union document binding the two, the rules of implications and violations of rule of Law and International laws, has been the questions hovering around the minds of many, the center of constant debates and court actions. Two questions changed the History of a people some would say. “Do you wish to gain independence by joining Nigeria or the Republic of Cameroun?,11^th February 1961. The second choice was massively favored many would ascertain. 

           The decisions of 11^th February showed the people used their hands to shape their own destiny.

         I have often come to the conclusion that, the issue of Southern Cameroons ought not to be viewed as an internal fight, nor be viewed as a set of people wanting to be separated from a whole; it’s rather an issue of Equity and justice, a matter of rule of Law, A matter of restitution, a question of the respect and implementation of international Law. 

        An issue of correcting ERRORS of the past, and issue of posterity. None the less no matter the length of struggle, the efforts initiated, I see the people finally liberated, not by the efforts of the Southern Cameroons National Council - SCNC or the Southern Cameroon peoples Organization-SCAPO but by the will of God. Left in the hands of the ordinary human being, means repeating what history has often recorded. ”the nature of man” I call this new but already existing land the New Heaven born from Hell.

 ARGUMENTS CLAIMING THE RIGHT TO SECESSION AND INDEPENDENCE.

         It is very true that the Southern Cameroons were under a trusteeship in which the British were supposed to develop the trust territories towards self-government or independence. However, Britain failed to deliver under the terms of the trusteeship agreement and instead proposed independence by joining and it is the major cause of present day crises in Cameroon between the peoples of Southern Cameroons led by the Southern Cameroons’ National Council and the government of La Republique du Cameroun.

       Had it been Independence was granted to Southern Cameroon as a single and distinct country with its sovereignty and territorial boundaries, we would not have been here presenting arguments. We are here to argue and present facts because of a negotiation that did not have a solid foundation and conclusion in 1960. A simple mistake of non registration of the 1961 terms of Unity and basis for joining between British Southern Cameroons and La Republique is the reason for the current bone of contention for Secession and Independence today.

           If you look at it critically, you will understand that, pursuant to Article 76(b) of the UN Charter independence by joining, means that independence must be total and without any conditions as well Article 102(1) and (2) of the Charter which states categorically that the terms of any union between a member state of the UN and another country must be evidenced in writing and a copy filed at the UN Secretariat which will publish it if not such arrangements will not be considered valid and cannot be invoked in any organ of the UN. 

          This was not done and as such that failure to do so renders the whole agreement invalid, null and void ab initio under international law. This is because it cannot be cited before any organ of the UN today. Worth noting is the fact that, where a UN resolution action seemingly goes contrary to the articles of the UN Charter, it is the Charter provisions that prevail. In the case of Southern Cameroon and La Republique du Cameroon, we see not only a contrast here, but a huge contradiction to that rule.

         It follows therefore that, what transpired in 1961 was just an annexation of the UN trust territory of British Cameroons by both Nigeria and La Republique du Cameroon and not independence which contradicts the UN Charter in a manner of granting independence to the Trust territories.  As a result of the irregularities involved at that time, one cannot even trace and cite the arrangement anywhere around the UN presently. 

           This further proves that the British government failed woefully in the execution of the trust responsibility it had assumed in 1946. It is so painful to hold the law and twist it. It’s very painful to fail in your part not to follow due process. We talk of the rule of law yet we are abusers of the very rule of Law.

            President El Hadj B.T AHMADOU AHIDJO of La Republique du Cameroun, made an important declaration on the 13^th session of the U.N.O held on 25^th of February 1959, and it provided further grounds for the present day southern Cameroon’s struggle, he said “I should not like the firmness and clarity of our stand to be interpreted as a desire for integration on my part which would sound the death knell to the hopes of our brothers in the zone under British Administration…We do not wish to bring the weight of our population to bear on our British brothers.  

           We are not annexationists In other words, if our brothers of the British zone wish to unite with an independent Cameroun, we are ready to discuss the matter with them, but we will discuss it on a footing of equality”. Taking this as it might be that integration with the British southern Cameroons was to be on an equal basis and the situation the British Cameroons faced during the post integration, one would agree with me that such declarations are farfetched within the present context in Cameroon. 

          One would be right to conclude that what was to be considered “equal terms” has been turned into a Masters-servant relationship. Today this part of Cameroon suffers from what many have loosely referred to as “the Anglophone problem”. What is the Anglophone problem is a question one would like to ask. Could it be the problem that no concrete integration was carried out of that negotiation between the two Cameroons in 1961 or that the Anglophones are servants in their own country?

      More so, under UN Resolutions 1608, it was indicated that the end of the British Trust over Southern Cameroons by October 1st, 1961, there was to be a tripartite conference comprising of Britain as the administering authority, the government of Southern Cameroons and the government of La Republique du Cameroun to draw up a treaty of the union embodying the agreed terms and understanding for the joining of Southern Cameroons with La Republique du Cameroun. 

        It would be mild to see such arrangements as a myth, such arrangements never materialize, it was best executed in the air which was only but futile or simply put neglected. What some would consider very sad on the part of the British trust territory was that at the time of Independence, the then Secretary General of the United Nations, Dag Hammarskjold, who was suppose to appreciate the conduct of the Plebiscite, died in a plane crash over the Congo. Dag was supposed to see through the agreed terms of what was expected to be the marriage certificate for the union between the two equal Cameroons. 

          However his death left things floating. As God would have it, the results of the and final terms of the supposed union, was not registered at the UN Secretariat. Registration which is one of the major requirements for confirming Independence of any Trust Territory was neglected ab initio. Based on the fact that the Plebiscite conducted in 1961 was not registered with the Secretariat of the United Nations, according to me this has been the exact basis of the Southern Cameroons Claims for independence today.

         Accordingly, the SCNC has picked up this weakness among a host of other factors to seek relief. Efforts were initiated to correct the errors of the past through what I would describe as a “mission impossible” at that time. At the early ages of the struggle, most of the Activists who struggled to mobilize people towards self-determination faced a huge deal of opposition and torments from La Republique’s government. Some were forced out of Cameroon and turn to refugees in foreign Lands. Most of them had been going through hell both in Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea, America and Asia and inside Cameroons especially most youths from the only Anglo-Saxon University in the Country right from 1993 till present day.

          The SCNC took to the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights in Banjul their case for secession and Independence in 2003. Throughout a long period of time close to 6 years, the SCNC and SCAPO’s case found competence and merit and was entertained and a ruling issued in 2009. The Commission entertained the matter and came to some recommendations which should have ended the struggle but to the contrary. 

         The commission frowned at the government of Cameroon, for initiating concerted efforts to get the case thrown out of the table, for going to the extent of creating its own SCNC to tender counter claims against the struggle. The plea from the government of Cameroon that the word “Southern Cameroons does not exist” was ruthlessly dismissed. 

         Again the government of Cameroon’s argument that the issue of independence of Southern Cameroon was solved since in 1961 by the British during their Union, and that of Northern Cameroon as well and so the commission should not entertain the matter again, was equally dismissed. The court dismissed such pleas, declared the case admissible and opened it for hearing. 

        The Commission found out a number of rights protected by variously chapters of the African Charter totally violated by the Cameroon government against the people of Southern Cameroons especially Articles 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6,7(1), 10, 11, 19 and 26 of the African Charter and gave a series of recommendations to the government to cause a relief to the above violations which would be seen below.

         On the part of the SCNC and SCAPO, ACHPR acknowledge the fact that the people of Southern Cameroons have a legitimate claim to independence, having a root, a distinct identity, and culture and possess the right to self-determination. However the issue of independence and self-determination was denied firstly because the events occasioning the present crisis happened far before the coming into force of the ACHPR in 1989 and the government of Cameroun had ratified the treaty of ACHPR, even before the case was summoned. Moreover based on the events that took place during the period of 1960 to 1972, the SCNC and SCAPO could not get their demand for Independence pass through.

      The Commission lacks competence to entertain the case from that angle. The commission went further to caution the SCNC and SCAPO that Secession was not the best and only option available to them to exercise their rights to self-determination. The Commission cannot invoke the African Charter and though the commission might see autonomy within a sovereign state, federation and confederacy and even a government in the context of self government as another option, may be entertained.  

        It could equally entertained the case if there are concrete evidences of a massive human rights violations and proof of the Southern Cameroonians’ non access to public affairs even traced back to the period of 1961. But the complainants’ desire to invoke the provisions of the African charter to base their claim for independence as a currently annexed territory by the latter, will not be entertained since it will threaten the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a state party to the Charter-Cameroon.

      Therefore, the African Commission rejected the SCNC claim for secession arguing that although the government of Cameroun has violated Articles 1, 2, 3,4,5,6,7,11, 19 and 26 of the African Charter, the government had not reached a point of causing the Southern Cameroons’ to secede from Cameroon. The ACHPR ruled on the case in a ruling thus “… The commission however finds also that, the respondent state violated various rights protected by the African Charter in respect of southern Cameroonians. 

            It urges the respondent State to address the grievances expressed by the southern Cameroonians through its democratic institutions”

          

          The Commission however made the following recommendations to the government of Cameroon and to the Southern Cameroons’ National Council (SCNC) to see a final solution to the problem.

To the government of Cameroon, the commission recommended as such;

1.             Abolishes all discriminatory practices against people of Northwest and Southwest Cameroon, including equal usage of the English language in business transactions;

2.             Stops the transfer of accused persons from the Anglophone provinces for trial in the Francophone provinces;

3.             Ensures that every person facing criminal charges be tried under the language he/she understands. In the alternative, the Respondent State must ensure that interpreters are employed in Courts to avoid jeopardizing the rights of accused persons;

4.             Locates national projects, equitably throughout the country, including Northwest and Southwest Cameroon, in accordance with economic viability as well as regional balance;

5.             Pays compensation to companies in Northwest and Southwest Cameroon, which suffered as a result of discriminatory treatment by banks;

6.             Enters into constructive dialogue with the Complainants, and in particular, SCNC and SCAPO to resolve the constitutional issues, as well as grievances which could threaten national unity; and

7.             Reforms the Higher Judicial Council, by ensuring that it is composed of personalities other than the President of the Republic, the Minister for Justice and other members of the Executive Branch.

To the SCNC, the commission recommended that:

1.             To transform into political parties,

2.             To abandon secessionism and engage in constructive dialogue with the Respondent State on the Constitutional issues and grievances.

      The Commission cautioned the two parties on the accurate implementation of the recommendations and requested that they send a report about the implementation, to the commission within 180 days, yet nothing has been done and the commission has not received any reports ever since. It has made the situation more complicated for the Country as the Anglophone problem reaches its height.

        I might have concluded that “Yes” the union between the two Cameroon is legal and valid under the law considering the fact that; valid agreements are reached in law even by implication. It must not be express. Equally, the aspect of a time bar and the legal period in which every litigation must come in might see that the union is a valid one. Not all laws are made by writing, if I would have to extend further. Judges made laws are sometimes made anyhow, a situation can cause a law to emanate and even if it’s not made in writing, the law remains a new law born out of implication. Case law and binding precedents have taught us a lot.

        They are not made in a parliament they are made by judges in court rooms and become laws. So when we consider these assumptions, one would somehow see that, even though not expressly stated, An implied agreement of union was has been somehow reached between the peoples of Southern Cameroons and La Republique du Cameroun.

          As an advocate and proponent of change I believe the government of Cameroun is very reluctant to carry out the recommendations of the ACHPR because the commission is very weak in itself to effect any serious action if they default in their own part of the recommendations. The ACHPR is not only weak but has no record of ever solving a particular problem in Africa since its creation. 

          A commission that basis its ruling on supposition and not by the facts and evidences tabled before it, does not carry out thorough findings to ascertain the veracity of the facts before it from both parties, focusing on not to threaten an existing illegality, cannot pass a true and fair judgment. Why did the question from the SCNC not sent directly to the UN for appreciation? Why send to the ACHPR when the commission was absent at the event of plebiscite of 1961.The ACPHR Was born some 27 years after the 1961 saga, it came into existence only in 1961. I say this because it is the UN that started all these problems in 1961. 

      Why didn’t the SCNC and SCAPO x-ray the scope of local remedies and critically consider the issue of competence and material jurisdiction. They created the error and should therefore be the right quarters to correct the error and not the ACHPR of Africa which came more than 25 years after the supposed Union of 1961.

          This aspect of the argument has seen and necessitated other members of the SCNC to seek relief from the UN and which today I’m proud to say they have made a considerable level of success and it was hoped that by January 2014, the route to Independence was already near reach.

ARGUMMENTS AGAINST SECESSION AND INDEPENDENCE.

        Of course it is correct to say the world is getting into a global village, it is correct to say it’s better to preach unity and encourage a more unified world than talking about a separation. It’s fair enough for the peoples of today’s world who find themselves in the 21^st Century, to insist on one and more unified world, which should rather encourage more unity than division.

     

        However, a series of events and efforts has seen the southern Cameroons struggle a huge crisis and torture for the Southern Cameroonians themselves. On state-run media on October 1, 2009 on the 48th anniversary of the re-unification of Southern Cameroons and the Republic of Cameroun, Issa Tchiroma Bakary, Cameroon’s Minister of Communications, informed the public that the African Commission of Human and People’s rights,  had ruled on the case filed by  SCAPO and the SCNC. 

     He stated that “In its final decision, the commission has rejected all the secessionist claims made by the representatives of SCNC and SCAPO. The commission has also rejected allegations that the Anglophone community is victim of violence and discrimination.” This was a big lie that was broadcasted live from the Cameroon Radio and Television (CRTV) and other media houses in Cameroon.

       The government of La Republique has argued intensely and come to a conclusion that there is no need to talk of secession because the Anglophones could not be considered as people from a different country. To them, the idea of secession is a forgotten theory. There is nothing like Southern Cameroons, nothing like Anglophone problem currently existing. The issue of independence is an issue of the past.

         It was settled in 1961, the government argues that the right to self-determination ended on the 11^th of February 1961, marking the end of British Trusteeship, when the southern Cameroonians voted to join La Republique so as to be independent. As such southern Cameroonians should not expect to get any local remedy in a country where there is little or no aspect of non recognition of the Anglophones. These issues were settled issues they argued.

         SCNC is just a rebel group that seeks to threaten and destabilize the territorial integrity of Cameroon and the government has vowed to deal with ruthlessly anyone found sympathizing with the SCNC.

       

UVIVERSITY OF BUEA STUDENTS KILLED IN 2005 AND 2006.

         The government has vowed to lacerate any Activist movement, civil society movements and youths’ core in the Anglophone regions of Cameroon. Open brutality, murder of innocent Civilians, youths and causing all sorts of court sentence to  young Activists, This is why with conspiracy with top members of the Anglophone sector of Cameroon, there has been a huge blockade towards the achievement of the SCNC struggle. 

        The government of La Republique uses a divide and rule policy which favors the Anglophone Loyals against the Southern Cameroon Activists. They refuse to identify themselves with any liberation movement in the Anglophone regions. They have decreed to completely wipeout all Anglophone doctrines and traditions, the educational system, the English Language, especially the issue of students’ Unionism. The most powerful Anglophone Youths voice The University of Buea Students’ Union (UBSU) was ruthlessly lacerated by an Anglophone.

 

GOVERNMENT SORTS TO WIPEOUT THE STRONGEST ANGLOPHONE YOUTH MOVEMENT UBSU.

          While brothers share in the pain of the huge loss of such an Anglophone arm, the killers have been decorated national heroes. The leaders of UBSU, face trial in Court, were jailed and others were refused graduation from the University. Others would simply put, never get the chance to ever defend their already finished Thesis. Others were threatened, followed and forced to leave the country to foreign Lands. 

         A majority of the Youth Activists have now become refugees and semi-refugees in foreign Lands. They can only feed from the economies of foreign Lands. While the government of la Republique sits with the Anglophone conspirators on the rich soils and resources of the Southern Cameroons.

  

SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR CAMEROONIANS

       “The mighty wind is blowing”. The tree of liberty can only be watered with the blood of those that make sacrifices; Courage is what I require from you at this point in time. Expectations turn out to be mere fantasies when the people lose hope. I wish you welcome this mighty wind in good faith. Do not expect to hear a gathering being called to censor your opinions about the present move. Enough is enough. I know as normal some will question the authenticity of facts which is normal, but let me borrow the wisdom of the music legend BOB MARLEY of blessed memory may he R.I.P, before you even speak to answer you. Some people feel the rain others simply get wet”.

             This is the time for those that claim to be tough to expunge on what they have and prove what they have in their minds. This is the time to speak out your minds and not hide your pictures in the guise of being caught. The time is now for you great young leaders and aspirants to defend justice, due process and the rule of law. Do not question the knowledge of a person who has made an attempt. Do not destroy if you cannot build.

          Lastly, this is going to be a trial moment for you all. Normalization is a big temptation for us. We shall face torments, torture forced to subdue. However note that, the Re-Unification celebration is only out to wipe out all these struggles. If the peoples of Southern Cameroons led by its forerunners accept to host such illegal event, I can tell you to forget the idea of a Southern Cameroon’s independence for ever. They will be deceived as was the case in Foumban. If the supposed re-unification celebration is allowed to hold, know that History has repeated itself. But let Psalms 23 and 91 be your guide.

GOD BLESS THE PEOPLES OF SOUTHERN CAMEROONS.
