SOCIAL MEDIA EFFECTS ON LIBERATION STRUGGLES

"IF BATTLE FIELDS FOR LIBERATION WERE ON SOCIAL MEDIA ONLY, THE SOUTHERN CAMEROONS WOULD HAVE GAINED INDEPENDENCE THE SAME YEAR FACEBOOK WAS CREATED" Ashu Shamy
If you want to Free Southern Cameroons, be prepared to go back home.
The advent of the Television, radio, and massive availability of Internet in the 21st Century, has led to a general decrease in the records of successful Liberation movements unlike in the 17th, 18th, 19th and the 20th centuries when information transmission was a difficult issue.
What are the reasons for this massive collapse? Is it that the people of 21st century have become so literate to settle with the opinion that Liberation can only be achieve from Computer keyboards and Internet speeches? Or the problems of the world have all been solved to a point that everybody is contented with what has become of the world?
In Cameroon where I'm from, the people complain of a certain system of government which has never changed for generations. In Cameroon, the people complain of a certain land of Southern Cameroons which was forcefully occupied by way of instrumental annexation. In Cameroon, the people complain that less than 5 % of the population sit on the wealth of nations and live 95% under abject poverty and misery. In Cameroon, it has been loosely reported that there is a new form of government called Biyacracy. It is even further stated that Biyacracy takes over a form of government called aristocracy with a powerful backing of autocracy.It has been admitted in strong terms that the entire youthful population of Southern Cameroons have left the country in search of greener pastures in foreign lands because the job market has been placed a heavy tax which has led to it's collapse.
It has been carefully observed that all these situations as singled-out are genuine and admissible. Yet, it has equally been seen to manifest that almost all or some of the youths, who leave for foreign lands, either do the following; use the situations above to seek asylum, get a new nationality or start practicing real politics through Facebook from their keyboards; with well captivating captions; BIYA MUST GO, MOVEMENT FOR THE RESTORATION OF SOUTHERN CAMEROONS, CMR LEADERS OF TOMORROW, etc. While in Cameroon, those youths could not venture to be associated with such movements, but while in the diaspora, they can crucify Paul Biya and win the battle from where they sit and write.
"IF BATTLE FIELDS FOR LIBERATION WERE ON SOCIAL MEDIA ONLY, THE SOUTHERN CAMEROON'S WOULD HAVE GAINED INDEPENDENCE THE SAME YEAR FACEBOOK WAS CREATED"
But I say today, if you want freedom for SC, go back home and start it or follow it.
