ALJAZEERA REPORTS ON THE STALEMATE IN THE BRITISH SOUTHERN CAMEROONS /AMBAZONIA-MUST-WATCH VIDEO ATTACHED.

What some media are saying regarding the British Southern Cameroons / Ambazonia that is politely asking La Republique du Cameroun to unconditionally leave their country. Please do give the video attached below that summaries some of the grievances a couple of minutes. It is a recent presentation by Aljazeera Television.  The British Southern Cameroons, the former Trust Territory of the UNO under the British Administration, [map attached below], wants to revert to its political independence that it had known from 1954-1961 before things went awry not of their making. Attempts to right the wrongs and to be politically independent as any other UNO trust territory by peaceful demonstrations have been met by aggression by La Republique du Cameroun, a former UN trust territory under the French administration in Western Africa with abutting international boundary.

This is the locational map and some of the national groups (tribes) that form the British Southern Cameroons / Ambazonia

The pressure of the incompatibility of the Anglo-Saxon and Gallicised or French cultures in  the British Southern Cameroons due to their rocky alliance with  La Republique du Cameroun, that had been ignored for long, has reached such a boiling tipping point.  Citizens of The British Southern Cameroons are not taking the injustices anymore. Peaceful demonstrations by their civil lawyers, educationists, nurses, taxi drivers, students and others of all walks of life are brutally met by savage forces of the La Republique du Cameroun.

The English-speaking citizens of the British Southern Cameroons have been reduced to second class citizens in their country of birth, denied jobs and barefacedly marginalized because of their historical heritage. Besides, citizens of the country La Republique du Cameroun imposing itself on them have been hauling invectives on them as 'Anglo fools', morons and so on and cannot take them anymore.  When they say Anglo-fools they are abusing the British too who created the British Southern Cameroons and gave its the Anglo culture. For the sake of peace and future generations in that part of the world and Africa at large, the two countries better separate and run their governments independently. This could evade the sorts of bitter scenarios we witnessed and are still witnessing in the South Sudan and Eritrea where battles were fought for scores of years before the political independence. Many died in the struggles and there are still loses of lives, destruction of properties and disruption of economic progress. Other internecine wars in Africa of the Rwandan type should not be tolerated by the world governing bodies and peace-loving peoples for whatever reasons. Of what good is intervention after mayhem?

The fight by La Republique du Cameroun to hang on to the British Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia is not out of love but for very selfish reasons. The resources of the British Southern Cameroons, oil, gas, gold, iron ore, valuable hard woods, agricultural produce are being exploited by La Republique du Cameroun for their economic development and advancements at the expense of those of the British Southern Cameroons. They advance all sorts of ruses that the British Southern Cameroons belong to La Republique du Cameroun and  they are in one country and that is false. A city like Bamenda where must of demonstrations were held has not a single manufacturing industry. When foreign companies opt to establish industries there as the Chinese automobile assembly they are denied access by the invading country. The Turkish airline would have preferred using the Bamenda airport in Ambzonia/British Southern Cameroons but the La Repulique du Cameroun (LRC) government would not allow. The South Korean companies wanted to cultivate rice and teach improved techniques of cultivation to the locals in the northern part of Ambazonia but this government would not allow them. These are not fair treatments. The established fact is that La Republique du Cameroun had ever had invidious plans to cripple Ambazonians economy so as to manipulate them indefinitely.  Why would they be dictating to the foreign companies where to do their businesses in the country?  As for rice production, the Yaounde Government preferred them to establish around Yaounde where the climatic conditions are not conducive for rice production and 'intelligent' people are crooked. Jejune peoples are not necessarily stupid as they imply.

The infrastructures in the British Southern Cameroons / Ambazonia are the worst in the two countries. Why would Ambazonia want to have anything to do with such a country after almost 56 years of failed relationship? Would you readers? If you could then you are considered as a fool as the Anglo-fools, the citizens of the British Southern Cameroons.

If two identical in status UNO trust territories decided to come together for an experimental union in 1961, a grievous mistake, it did or does not mean that one has to accept a subordinate position to the extent of surrendering its natural resources for nothing, be marginalized and give up its culture, the English language, educational and legal systems, its army and many more for up to 56 years. It is no doubt that la Republique du Cameroun call Ambazonians, "Anglo fools" or their euphemism for fools, 'Bamendan' and others call them Biafrans. Very provocative!!


Also, it does not mean that one of the partners, the British Southern Cameroons because of it is lesser in population, has to accept to be assimilated. When asked or suggested to dialogue by successive Secretary Generals of the UNO, Banki Moon and Kofi Annan, La Republique du Cameroun threaten them and fire at peaceful demonstrators with live bullets, teargas them and call them thugs. Can lawyers demonstrating amicably against assimilation and marginalization suddenly be referred to as thugs and vandals? Those are signs of denial of the truth and savagery enshrined in the invading country's old national anthem. 

British Southern Cameroons lawyers demonstration in the main city of Bamenda are dispersed with teargas by soldiers of La Republique du Cameroon, the occupying force.

Do read this author's reply to the President of La Republique du Cameroun prophetic analysis on this blog. http://vibanflagbooksinternatinal.blogspot.com/2011/01/ebolowa-agro-pastoral-show-and.html   He had seen these altercations coming way back.

THE NEED FOR THE WORLD'S OMBUDSMEN TO INTERVENE ON TIME IN THE BRITISH SOUTHERN CAMEROONS-AMBAZONIA

The need for the world ombudsmen to intervene on Time in the British Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia

Great Britain, the USA and particularly France, the onus is on you. You are our ombudsmen and keepers of democracy in the world.  Russia and China and India you can have a say as well as the mighty Nigeria next door. The say is on the British Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia that is facing the onslaught of La République du Cameroun.

If one sentence posted on the world’s bill board on clemency could save one life in Ambazonia/British Southern Cameroons, it is more than welcome. One dead person is more than enough.  The press statement below gives a summary of the political trend of events since 21 November 2016 up to now  in the Western African state of the British Southern Cameroons / Ambazonia that is opting for a total political independence to join the club of other democratic nations on earth.

The cooperation of all and sundry peace-loving persons on earth is required as a matter of urgency. In a genial world men sit down and sort out their differences through dialog. We destroy the world when we believe that the strongest have to crush the weak neighbors or give them no room and dictate to them. If we, the developed and comfortably independent nation states, remain complaisant that it is not our problem, we are wrong for we are inextricably linked to one another, the developed and underdeveloped states. Their problem is our problem and that is why we all found ourselves embroiled and empathized in the First and Second World Wars.

Being apathetic because they are Africans or others not of our race could break down our coveted United Nation Organizations and others doing good jobs in encouraging democracy, governance, that are set up to ensure peace and respect for one another. We let mice have room in the world peopled by elephants. We let lions share the thickets with the deer and fish with worms and no one is hurt. We do not want to dismantle another United Nations Organization (UNO) as the failed League of Nations because we constantly disagree from agreeing each time we believe that it is not advantageous if we seek peace for a smaller state we will not benefit from economically though it had tangible points and pressing grievances we should sympathize with. 

Municipalities and principalities existed in Europe and even hitherto, not because of the power they wielded alongside giant states but because we believe that they have the right to exist. Let us not make less populated nations fear bigger ones if not there will never be peace on earth. It is the very fear that made Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's dream of a United State of Africa not to be born. With the sort of maltreatment of the British Southern Cameroons citizens in the experimental union with the Republic of Cameroon (the former French Cameroun), no small nation in Africa and elsewhere in the world would want to go into any relationship with a bigger one. That is not good. We can name many that tried and it never lasted because of what is happening today in the British Southern Cameroons invaded by La République  du Cameroun. Do not sideline or derogate any person in partnership with you. Do not take him or her for a fool as such a union will not last. It will break beyond repairs. 

The other days someone asked me if there were Americans and Europeans in the British Southern Cameroons. If the answer were affirmative, then the British and American troops would have been deployed to protect the enfeebled Ambazonians and their citizens. Should that be the norm? Yes, there are Europeans and Americans in the British Cameroons in all walks of life, but should we only broker peace because our people will be on harm's way? No.

If it turns out to be an all-out altercation, the migrants will be coming to our harbors and boundaries in droves and we will be asking what we could have done better as in Syria, Iraq and Somalia to cut the problems at their buds. The Atlantic Ocean or the Mediterranean Sea is no longer an artificial boundary to keep emigrants at bay.  The coming of African and Middle East migrants now in droves to Europe is not a present-day creation. It started in the days of colonialism where there was discriminatory development of industrialization.

Africans had to provide only raw materials and could not be allowed to manufacture finished goods else they took away Europeans manufacturing industries. The Americans can tell you more on such a relationship with Great Britain before their war of independence.  As such, after 100 years of European civilization, many African states including Ambazonia are still as poor, industrially and could be so for the next foreseeable one hundred years if the trend are not reversed. The situation is exacerbated by some former colonial masters that fool third world leaders to only lay the economic planning for the benefits of those metropolitan states and not the once-colonized. Leaders of these countries have dual citizenship, the former colonial state and theirs. They spend their vacation all their time in their second country. There have divided loyalties the Bible even disagree with. We will let you surmise the rest and the outcome. In the case of the Cameroun Republic and Ambazonia/British Southern Cameroons, no economic plans can material without the sanction of the French government that had never left La Cameroun since its independence in 1960. It is sad that it is still the French government that is behind the restriction of Ambazonia from achieving its political independence. Why? They have vested investments in Ambazonia and their apprehension is that if Ambazonia were to cut off from La Rebublique du Cameroun, the former French trust territory,  they would loss them. That is not true provided they renegotiate with Ambazonia and not allowed Paul Biya’s regime to treat Ambazonia as their colony. Modern colonialism should be denounced.

The situation is deteriorating and may escalate into an all our war in Ambazonia. It could be so because if there is no intervention from the world powers like the USA, China and particularly the UK Government that created Ambazonia/ British Cameroons in the first place. They are aware of the political and economic rights of the British Cameroons being infringed by a bigger power. They are being briefed of their marginalization daily but the tendency is that it is Ambazonia/British Southern Cameroons so it is not looked into by the British House of Commons as the Falkland Islands attacked by Argentina in 1984. Let UK be fair for the British Southern Cameroons fought along side them during the Second World War. Again the culture of British Southern Cameroons that is English is being eroded away by La Republic du Cameroun. That is the core of Ambazonia without which it is destroyed. 

Should it always be so?  Ambazonia Is not supported because they are looking at from the point of view of wages they could get. It will never be like Iraq or Syria but it deserves being protected from the insatiable lions.  They should look at the peace as the reward not only of us living but for those who will come after us. It should also be stressed that we have to learn to live side by side our neighbors irrespective of their differences. We got to know that it is intolerable to insist on our neighbors being like us or being assimilated before we could associate with them. In this vein, the British Southern Cameroons or British Cameroons at large can live side by side with the giant Nigeria and La République  du Cameroun in peace. The sizes in population, land mass, military might, and financial wealth do not mean that they have to engulf little states by them for spurious reasons. The plea is for La République  du Cameroun to unconditionally withdraw its troops and its political machinery from the British Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia. There is no partnership when one of the parties disagrees.

The experimental union of the two states do not work and has never worked and should be suspended. Does the present generation or government of La République  du Cameroun not want to leave the two states to be like North Korea and South Korea, the Sudan and South Sudan and worst Eritrea and Ethiopia? Only a desperado would want this to happen. The British Southern Cameroons and La République  du Cameroun can learn from history and what has happened in other states in the world. La République  du Cameroun and La France know the right channel to peace but they want to insist on colonization of Ambazonia because of Ambazonian natural resources they take for free. No right-thinking nation on earth could accept this sort of relationship.  If there are negotiations for economic, political, or other cooperation, they should be negotiated at around table and not by war or senseless killing of the British Southern Cameroons citizens by the gendarmes and soldiers from La République  du Cameroun. The last week had been bleak in the eyes of Ambazonians. You do not want your daughters to be raped, children shot, property burnt by your neighbors and you insist of any relationship or coexistence. Then you are a fool.

 France the onus is on you. Great Britain the onus is on you. The USA, the onus is on you. You are our ombudsmen and keepers of democracy in the world.  Russia, China,  South Africa, The Gambia, New Zealand, Luxembourg and India you can have a say as well as the mighty Nigeria next door. All NGOs wherever they are can broker peace.  This part of the world in which you also belong to badly needs you. VVN

PRESS STATEMENT

December 12, 2016

Southern Cameroons Peoples Organisation (SCAPO)

Constructive Dialogue between Southern Cameroons and French Cameroun

·        Southern Cameroons again accepts constructive dialogue with French Cameroon under ACHPR mediation

·        Demands that dialogue outcome be forwarded to African Union, UNO

·        Applies for AU Membership

·        Beefs up War Crimes Case file at ICC

Ladies and gentlemen of the Press,

The Southern Cameroons Peoples Organisation, SCAPO on November 29, 2016, forwarded a report to the African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR) based in Banjul, Gambia reiterating its acceptation “constructive dialogue” with French Cameroun as recommended by the commission in 2009.

The Southern Cameroons Report to Banjul titled “The implementation of the 2009 Decisions of the African Commission on Human and People’s Rights (ACHPR) on communication 266/2003, the Recommendation on Constructive Dialogue,” emphasizes that the outcome of the said “constructive dialogue” be forwarded to the African Union General Assembly where “La République  du Cameroun (French Cameroun) should be asked to put before the African Union and the UN, proofs to show that indeed she has title over the Southern Cameroons and her presence in that territory is not annexation.”

Consequently, SCAPO has asked the AU “to grant Southern Cameroon membership while confirming the international boundaries of Southern Cameroons as described in the League of Nations mandate and the United Nations Charter.”

The report, signed by the Southern Cameroons Peoples Organisation, SCAPO, is on behalf of the complainants in Communications 266/2003, who in 2003, and on the behalf of all Southern Cameroonians, tabled a 306-paragraph case (with affidavits) against French Cameroun for colonization. traces the root cause of the escalation between Southern Cameroons and French Cameroun today.

Recall that the landmark human rights case, Communications 266/2003, ended in 2009 with the ACHPR finding French Cameroun guilty on almost all counts of the human and peoples rights as listed in the Southern Cameroons complaint. The ACHPR ruled that Southern Cameroonians are “a people” and hence have all the inalienable rights recognized by all peoples by both the African and United Nations Charter. In more precise terms, the ACHPR said that “the people of Southern Cameroon” qualify to be referred to as “a people” because they manifest numerous characteristics and affinities, which include a common history, linguistic tradition, territorial connection and political outlook. More importantly, they identify themselves as a people with a separate and distinct identity. Identity is an innate characteristic within a people. It is up to other external people to recognize such existence, but not to deny it.”  (See Paragraphs 178-179 of the 2009 Banjul Ruling)

Peoples everywhere, especially peoples who live in their own territory (homeland) and aspire to their own state, have a fundamental right to reject colonization and the right to self-government or self-determination. Self-determination means that every people, so recognized, have the right to freely determine their political status, and the right to freely pursue their economic and social development according to the policy they have chosen. The right to self-determination is recognized and protected by both the AU and UNO Charters.

Furthermore, the ACHPR 2009 verdict ordered the government of French Cameroon to pay compensation to all businesses in Southern Cameroons which had suffered because of the imposition of the OHADA Law upon their practice by the government in Yaounde.

However, the ACHPR recommended “constructive dialogue”, under its good offices, for an amicable and long-lasting solution to all the issues bounded on domestic constitutional and international law in the now thorny Southern Cameroons Palaver.

In 2010, both SCAPO and the SCNC, representing the people of Southern Cameroons, accepted the ACHPR recommended: “constructive dialogue” under ACHPR mediation as a credible and serious means of seeking a lasting solution to what is now the very obvious annexation, colonization and military occupation of independent Southern Cameroons by French Cameroun.

But rather than engaging in “constructive dialogue, French Cameroun has escalated its colonial francophonization of Southern Cameroons by, notably, imposing its francophonity, school system. civil law traditions etc. on Southern Cameroons.

The escalation of French Cameroon colonization is the root cause of the escalation in the occupied territory of the Southern Cameroons today which escalation has led to over fifteen deaths, officially. Incidentally, the call for “constructive dialogue” was also made by the current Prime Minister of French Cameroun, Mr. Philemon Yang, as he addressed supporters of the ruling, Cameroun Peoples Democratic Party, CPDM, during a rally within the precincts of Ayaba Hotel, Bamenda, on Thursday, December 6, 2016. Mr. Yang said “constructive dialogue” was the only way to end the clear insurrection in the annexed English-speaking regions of Cameroun.

Premier Yang was speaking at the close of an exceptionally murderous day in Bamenda during which well-armed elite forces of the French Cameroun army of occupation, BIR (Brigade d’intervention rapide) coordinated with the disreputably savage paratroopers from the Koutaba airbase in French Cameroun to visit murder to, at least, ten unarmed civilians in various parts of Bamenda.

Amnesty International on Friday, December 7, 2016, asked the government in Yaounde to justify all killings and disappearances in the colonized English-speaking regions. Soldiers from French Cameroun on Friday, December 9, murdered at least five persons in Kumba to the south of Southern Cameroons.

Many more persons, including students, have been “disappeared” in both Buea and Bamenda. There are hundreds of more Southern Cameroonians illegally detained in police and gendarmerie cells all over the Southern Cameroons by the French Cameroun army of occupation.

The killing of these Southern Cameroonians, most of them by stray bullets, is a War Crime. SCAPO will be making a full and muscled representation at the International War Crimes Tribunal in The Hague about these deaths and disappearances, the outcome of callous use war weapons and live bullets against unarmed civilians. In a Cameroun government communiqué broadcast on the BBC French service (and other media), this day, December 12, 2016, the self-appointed spokesman for the colonial regime in Yaounde, Mr. Issa Tchiroma Bakary, confirmed that the government of French Cameroun is involved in disappearances and death squads in Southern Cameroons by stating the policy of his government to track and murder (“mettre hors état de nuire”, his exact words) Southern Cameroonians demanding their rights. Mr. Tchiroma now figures prominently on the War Crimes list to the ICC.

SCAPO reminds the regime in Yaounde that on Monday, March 03, 2008, the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court received an 181-page complaint (with affidavits) titled “Genocide and Crimes against Humanity in/by French Cameroun” recounting the history of genocidal practices by successive regimes in Yaounde and attributing responsibility. This case file was beefed up with the particulars of signed document from Beti Elite in Yaounde calling for attacks against foreigners (Southern Cameroonians in the main) residing in Yaoundé.

See SCAPO’s Genocam Supplements 1 and 2.

The Southern Cameroonians Peoples Organisation, representing all Southern Cameroonians, underscores that “in handing down its decision on Communication 266/2003, Kevin Ngwang Gumne and others V. Cameroon, the African Commission made seven recommendations to the respondent state (French Cameroun) and two to complainants (215) Southern Cameroons.” The ACHPR explicitly requested the parties to report on the implementation of the decisions 215 (4).”

Southern Cameroonians are saying that this report to Banjul “was limiting itself to the recommendation on Constructive Dialogue 215–(I) (VI); 2.ii) “because it is the only recommendation that was made to both parties and on which both parties responded in the affirmative.”

            Note that “the commission had set a deadline of 180 days for this report but before the deadline was due the respondent State (French Cameroun) requested for time extension stating that they received their own copy of the commission’s decision late and that they needed time to prepare for the dialogue.”

Their request was granted.

            Southern Cameroons draw world opinion to the fact that “seven years after the African Commission took the decision in Communication 266/2003 French Cameroun has implemented none of the recommendations.

Not even one!

Consequently, as far as the specific recommendation on dialogue is concerned, Southern Cameroons reports as follows:

1.      That French Cameroun, or La République  du Cameroun, used the time extension granted at their request to carry out elaborate preparation (including the construction of monuments which they called “Re-unification monuments” in Buea and Bamenda for celebrating the event of “re-unification”. This controversial event took place in Buea on 20th February 2014 at a time when the people of Southern Cameroons were expecting the start of the dialogue proposed in communication 266/2003.

SCAPO tabled evidence (Appendices A and B) of the so-called “Reunification monument” as well as Mr. Biya’s speech in Buea in 2014 to mark the so-called anniversary of the alleged “Re-unification.”

2.      That soon after the decision on communication 266/2003 was made public, a serious attempt was made by a Mr. Leke, chief Oben and Dr. Tita (all natives of the Southern Cameroons posing as complainants in Communication 266/2003) to withdraw the said communication. The three persons claimed that they wanted to take up the constructive dialogue proposed in the communication and that before doing so; they wanted to withdraw the said Communication 266/2003.

The reply, by the Commission, was that their names did not figure on the list of complainants and they could therefore not withdraw what they did not file. They were advised that if they had their own complaint they were free to file it. The three persons then approached the real complainants in communication 266/2003 and proposed that they join them to take up the dialogue with the respondent state. They were told that they had erred by impersonating and attempting to withdraw what they had not filed and additionally they had come to Banjul as part of the State delegation.

The Southern Cameroonian underscored that the French Cameroun engineered fraud was uncovered thanks to “the vigilant manner in which the Secretariat of the Commission handled this episode by Mr. Leke, Chief Oben, and Dr. Tita. The Southern Cameroonians sent forth their gratitude to the ACHPR.

3.       That while accepting the constructive dialogue proposal, complainants proposed as a venue for the dialogue the facilities of UN in New York or the facilities of the AU in Addis Ababa or the facilities of the African Commission in Banjul. They further proposed that the dialogue be based strictly on the principles of international law, in particular, the principles of the United Nations and those of the African Union. These principles are the same principles that every country on earth would cite in its defense if its territory or any of its rights whatsoever were being violated by another country.

The complainants, i.e. Southern Cameroonians, underscored that “La République  du Cameroun would invoke these same principles in any dispute with another country.” Furthermore, the Southern Cameroonians said, French Cameroun, for example, “claims Southern Cameroons to be 2 provinces of her state and, so far, is unable to say what instruments of International Law the Southern Cameroons became a part of her territory. What were the boundaries of the territory which La République  du Cameroun inherited on its day of independence on 1 January 1960, on which date its boundaries were frozen pursuant to Article 4(b) of the African Union Constitutive Act? When and by what instruments were these boundaries subsequently expanded to include the territory of the Southern Cameroons? By what instrument of International Law were the people of the Southern Cameroons disinherited of their territory to confer the said territory to La République  du Cameroun? It was hoped that these questions would be answered unambiguously during the proposed dialogue facilitated by the African Commission.”

4.      In view of the fact that while the respondent state has avoided the proposed dialogue for 7 years while human rights violations in the Southern Cameroons have intensified resulting in the present very dangerous escalation between “anglophones” and francophones, and considering that the Assembly of the AU may decide on what action to take after the consideration of reports and recommendations tendered to it by any of its organs and further that it is the jurisdiction of the Assembly to consider membership into the A.U, complainants in communication 266/2003 make the following requests :

A.    That the recommended dialogue in communication 266/2003 be forwarded to the African Union Assembly and La République  du Cameroun be required to put before the African Union the following proofs to show that indeed she has title over the Southern Cameroons and her presence in that territory is not annexation:

i)                   Under Article 102(1) of the UN Charter: A valid international treaty between the Southern Cameroons and La République  du Cameroun filed at the UN secretariat testifying to any boundary arrangement between the two states after the independence of La République  du Cameroun.

ii)                 Under paragraph 5 of Resolution 1608(XV) of 21 April 1961, a valid Treaty of Union between the State of Southern Cameroons and La République  du Cameroun at the termination British Trusteeship in the Southern Cameroons.

iii)              Under Article 4(b) of the African Union Constitutive Act: The map and boundary treaties of La République  du Cameroun as they stood on its day of independence, 1 January 1960.

iv)               Under UNGA Resolution 2625(xxv) of 24 October 1970: A valid international legal instrument, dated 1961, by which the Republic of Cameroon claims title and jurisdiction over the Southern Cameroons.

B.    That La République  du Cameroun be further required to show in what way her “No” vote on UNGA Resolution 1608 XV was not a vote against Southern Cameroon’s independence, and was not a vote against Southern Cameroon joining her.

C.    That since The Southern Cameroon was still a UN Trust Territory with its own complete international boundary on January 1st 1960 (date of La République  du Cameroun’s independence) La République  du Cameroun be declared to be in violation of Article 4(b) of the AU constitutive Act and be requested to peacefully withdraw her troops and proconsuls from the territory of the Southern Cameroons.

D.    That Southern Cameroon be granted membership of the AU and her international boundaries as described in the League of Nations mandate and the United Nations Charter be confirmed by the General Assembly of the AU on the admission of the Southern Cameroon into membership of the AU.

The report, by SCAPO, on behalf of the Complainants in Communications 266/2003, and, ergo, all Southern Cameroonian, was signed the National Chairman of SCAPO, the Rt. Hon. Augustine Feh Ndangam.

The SCAPO report has since been forwarded to the Chairperson of the Assembly of the A.U, the African Union Executive Council and the African Union Peace and Security Council, etc.

The SCAPO report all but puts paid to attempts by current French Cameroun premier Philemon Yang, to “divide and impera” (Divide and Rule) by attempting so-called “dialogue” with various picketing Southern Cameroon groups. For one thing, Yang does not define policy in French Cameroun and, thence, cannot make any credible, binding and lasting decision especially on the colonization of Southern Cameroons by French Cameroun, an issue concerning international law, the African Union Charter, the United Nations Organisation Charter and, especially, the now-reactivated Decolonization Committee of the UN Trusteeship Council.

By Yerima Kini Nsom

SDF Senators and MPS

Ten years ago, the then Minister of Justice, Ahmadou Ali, told Hon. Joseph Wirba that Anglophones had gone to La Republique.

This statement had not gone down well with the MP for Jakiri in Bui Division, Northwest Region. It was an inflammatory response, to say the least, to the SCNC crisis which had broken out in the Northwest where gendarmes tortured people.

“Sitting with him in his cabinet, I told the Minister that my people have been suffering a lot of injustice for the past 40 years. I told him that if they do not initiate dialogue, the problems will end up breaking Cameroon,” Wirba said.

According to Hon. Wirba, the Minister responded thus: “Mr. Wirba, it is your people (Anglophones) who came to us.”

Wirba told the National Assembly that he interpreted the Minister’s statement to mean that since West Cameroonians accepted to join La Republique du Cameroun, they could be maltreated with impunity.

This memory came rushing to Wirba during the plenary sitting devoted to the 2017 budget recently at the National Assembly, when the Anglophone crisis got into the front burner at the hemi-cycle.

The MP stirred the brouhaha when he complained bitterly about the torture that gendarmes meted on students of the University of Buea recently.

Hon. Wirba exploded in anger soon after he mounted the rostrum on Friday, December 2.

“I am angry and incensed, almost at the point of losing my mind, that police tortured, raped and maimed children in Buea. Our ancestors trusted you but you have betrayed them in this union. We (West Cameroonians) will resist,” the MP thundered.

The vocal MP further quoted the former US President, Thomas Jefferson by stating that: “When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.”

He continued: “I am declaring from this rostrum, officially; your law is injustice to my people (Anglophone), we will resist to the last man.”

Wirba said he had acquired proof that Government has designed a plan to kill the Anglophone culture, education and justice system.

He recalled that shortly before the former Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralisation, Marafa Hamidou Yaya, Was jailed, he (Wirba) had complained to him about the brutal behaviour of the DOs, SDOs and the uniform officers in the Anglophone regions.

“I told Marafa that the DOs, SDOs and the military act like colonial masters and the forces of occupation. I pleaded with him by saying that the foundation of this country would be shaken to its very roots if nothing was done to stop this unscrupulous behaviour,” said Wirba.

The MP quoted Marafa as responding that if anybody does anything to undermine what the DOs, SDOs and the military are doing, he or she will be crushed.

Furthermore, the MP told the plenary sitting that a week ago he went and saw the Minister of Higher Education, Prof. Jacques Fame Ndongo, on the Anglophone crisis.

He said he told the Minister that he had sought audience to see the President to no avail. He then pleaded with the Minister to either take him to the President or take his very important message to him.

“I told the Minister that the current strike involving Anglophone teachers and lawyers is not the issue at stake.

I told him that the real issue is the maltreatment of Anglophones in the union and that only the President could solve the problem by resettling the foundation of the State,” he narrated.

The MP said he told the Minister that if government does not initiate dialogue on the Anglophone crisis, it will break Cameroon.

After listening to him, he went on; the Minister asked him what Anglophones would do if Government does not hearken to dialogue.

Wirba said after talking with the various ministers in private, he discovered that it is designed Government policy to suppress, oppress and subjugate West Cameroonians.

Anglophones Not Slaves

Seemingly overcome by anger, Wirba once more exploded at the rostrum: “The people of West Cameroon are not your slaves, they were not your slaves and they will never be!”

In reaction, the Ministers shifted uneasily on their seats as dead silence took hold of the House. Since the MP had used up the 10 minutes to make his claims as provided for by the standing orders of House Speaker, Hon. Cavaye Yeguie Djibril, attempted to stop him.

The Speaker hit the hammer on the table and told the MP that he had exhausted his time.

The MP fired back: “I am talking about the enslavement of my people and you are talking about time? Mr. Speaker, I will not leave this rostrum until I say my say.

By so doing, Mr. Speaker, I am saying that our resistance against injustice begins this minute. You will need the brutal gendarmes that are torturing the people of West Cameroon to remove me from here today.

In the spirit of Thomas Jefferson whom I quoted here, it is my duty to resist what you are telling me to do here now,” the MP fired.

He said it was also a duty of West Cameroonians in the circumstances to resist suppression, oppression and subjugation.

Said he: “Mr. Speaker, the reason why I am saying this, is because our people mean nothing to you in this union. How can the brutal torture of human beings that took place in Bamenda and Buea happen in the 21st century?”

He said the august Assembly; especially the Government bench was shocked at his remarks because there is a big difference between the French and the Anglo-Saxon systems.

He said the French system teaches people to fear their leaders while the Anglo-Saxon system teaches respect of leaders.

There was dead silence in the hall. The CPDM Parliamentary Group later broke the silence with humming of disapproval.

But Hon. Wirba fired on by saying that he does not fear the Speaker, the President of the Republic and Government, but rather has a lot of respect for them. He insisted that West Cameroonians will resist injustice with all their might even if Government brings in the French army to join their forces of occupation to crush them. After making his point, Hon. Wirba left the rostrum and took his seat.

But he rose to his feet in rage, once more, when one female CPDM MP took the floor and said she was shocked by the belligerent tone in the Bui MP’s submission.

For about 10 minutes, the entire House went into hurly-burly of shouting and booing by MPs. Some MPs asked the woman if the torture, maiming and the raping of female students in Buea by gendarmes was a normal thing to her.

Hon. Cavaye finally laid the matter to rest when he told the female MP to stop making any remarks on Hon. Wirba’s reaction.

Execution of British Cameroons/Ambazonian peaceful demonstrators at Bamenda by Troops from La Republique du Cameroon in Western Africa.

Throughout the world, there is no country that entertains violence. There is no primitive or advanced society that does not know between what is right and wrong. The other day I was riding on unusually packed taxi at Ndop plain, Ambazonia (British Southern Cameroons) and was stopped by a gang of gendarmes. These are invading forces from La Republique du Cameroon that shares the same border with the British Southern Cameroons variously called Ambazonia in the armpit of Western Africa. One of the gendarmes told me that they were keeping the peace of the country and the country was progressing because of them. He then added that I should give him something, money or beer. He was asking for bribe on top of his normal salary, a daily occurrence. I thanked him for keeping peace by standing on the highway and thieves were ransacking homes and stealing livestock in the countryside.  

Where you give money to someone who has done nothing for you, it is either a present. But if given because you fear that person, the taker is a thief. In other words, most police and gendarmes in the Cameroun and Ambazonia who patrol highways are thieves. On returning from my journey at Kumbo to Bamenda, I met another gang on the Sabga Hill. Our bush taxi was stopped and they wanted to find out if everyone had identity papers. There were two secondary school leavers who had no identity cards. A policeman speaking in English dialect they called pidgin English ordered them out and locked them in a wooden hut by the road. They explained that they had just graduated and had not had time to get the national identity cards. They offered their school cards. The police standing by the tomato and onion trading stalls did not want to know. He asked them to pay 2000 francs each before they were released from their confinement. These poor students had no such money. At the end, the passengers on the taxi decided to contribute money to get the prisoners out of the hut so as to continue on their journey to the now besieged Bamenda. 

When the police got the money, they did not issue receipts or cards to the students but verbally warned them not to travel without ID cards. These men in uniform do not police the towns or villages but dress each morning to stand along the road to collect money from travelers and taxi men and women. That had been going on for 50 years. Ambazonians complain and complain and nothing had ever been done by a very weak government of a very old man called Mr. P. Biya that had the endorsement of a civilized foreign government, La France. When all these occur, Ambazonians recall when they governed themselves or when they had the trusteeship system under the British. If a policeman ever took bribe or extorted money from anyone, he was summarily dismissed from his profession the next day. 

A general purpose map of The British Southern Cameroons. Must it be wiped from the face of the earth because of its natural resources.

This observation is out of a catalog of grievances including the erosion of the British legal system, the English educational system that culminated in organized peaceful demonstrations leading to the atrocities appended below. But these are highhandedly met with shooting and teargassing. The Cameroun Government had taken the hangover of the days of terrorism when the nationalists, UPC were fighting for immediate independence from the French and any demonstration is not taken kindly by them. They therefore have awful human and economic rights records. Ambazonians have been taking these tortures for long and it has now reached a stage where they are no longer afraid of people they call thugs and invaders of their country. If there is a single Ambazonian [British Southern Cameroons citizen] who has not got stories of atrocities to tell in the hands of La Republique du Cameroun, it would be one of those who had been bribed by the revenues they get from their oil wells at Victoria. They take revenues from their resources and give back to them as pay and they are happy. As such they are derogatorily called Anglo Fools and anyone in their country who does not conform in anything is referred to as 'Mon Bamenda'. By shooting and killing at unarmed peoples, by raping unarmed students at Buea, the Capital of Ambazonia, by opting to engaged in violence, they are hardening the hearts of desperate Ambazonians. As such, 80% of them sounded want to have their immediate political independence and have nothing to do with La Republique du Cameroun. Many demonstrators feel that they had had enough for the last 56 years of their invasion and this was their present aggressive repression and oppression were last straw that broke the camel's back. It is sad but that is the reality.

The piece below provoked me to highlight one of their grievances, corruption, unnecessary use of force and abuses of human rights many Ambazonians that have been trumpeting to the world. May be the non-nonsense, tough-talking President-Elect Mr. Donald Trump of the U. S. A.will solve this matter once and for all. Now that the UN, EEC, ECOWAS, African Union and other NGOs are concentrating on the fighting in the Middle East, Syria, Iraq, the sick child of he world, Afghanistan, that of La Republique du Cameroun sending troops to kill Ambazonians is considered by others as a headache and that the French should deal with it. Is it? Can the French, the people who once supported the Hutus in Rwanda to butcher the Tutsis handle it? To them Africans are still inferior as in the days of colonialism. Are they still? A leopard does not change its spots. The French are supporting La Republic du Cameroun, and that is precisely what they did in Rwanda. They took side and Ambazonia to them is no exception. The world should watch it and mark my words if they do not come to Ambazonian rescue. 

That is how Rwanda pogrom started and the world turned it head against it in 1994 before it mushroomed out of all proportion. Ambazonians do not have arms. La Republique du Cameroun first cajoled them and took them away in a funny union that had never worked and will never ever work. Africans trained by the French ever look down on those with the British culture and Ambazzonians had ever been treated as second-class citizens for half a century. Wow! Ambazonian forces at the time of their bogus union in 1961, the Mobil Wing was disbanded and that was a grievous mistake of its very gullible leaders, P.M. John N. Foncha and the worst of them, the selfish P.M. S. T. Muna.  

The gendarmes and trainee army exclusively from the central La Republic du Cameroun from their French training school at Koutaba Ngoundoup in Bamoum responsible for these atrocities, harangue in the streets and claim that they are keeping peace. They use Ambazonians for target shooting and it is a shame to the French expatriate that train them.  The danger of excessive atrocities may be that frustrated youths might turn against stooges who cooperated with La Republic du Cameroun. Their apparent police or military or gendarmes badly trained by the French that used to run them as their trust territory might not be in the position to police rural areas and remote quarters  in towns where  there are communications difficulties. The ombudsmen of the world should plea to the French Government that is backing La Republique du Cameroun because they benefit from the Ambazonian oil, to unconditionally ask Mr. Paul Biya's Government to pull out his troops from Ambazonia/British Southern Cameroons to avoid bloodshade. Ambazonia/British Cameroons want back their political independence that eluded them on October 1, 1961. VVN.

More than Ten People Executed or Killed in Bamenda; More Feared "Disappeared"

By Ntumfoyn Herbert Boh (Yindo Toh)*

Washington, 8 December 2016 - Riot police and paramilitary forces shot into crowds of protesters Thursday killing more than ten people in the town of Bamenda, the capital of the English-speaking North West Region of Cameroon and a stronghold of Cameroon’s main opposition political party, the Social Democratic Party (SDF).

Many more people are believed to have been "disappeared".

As the sun set Thursday, video posted on social media showed troops patrolling the main streets of Bamenda on foot or in the open backs of pickup trucks - firing aimlessly into the air and sometimes towards buildings.

A dozen lorry loads of gendarmes numbering several hundreds of troops drove through the western town of Bafoussam just before darkness headed for Bamenda, according to online reports citing Canal+, a Bafoussam-based private broadcaster.

One audio recording posted on the Cameroon Online WhatsApp eGroup claimed that the troops coming from Bafoussam are trainees, well known for putting down demonstrations by employing only the worst forms of brutality and savagery. The student soldiers are currently in training at the Koutaba Military Camp based in the outskirts of Bafoussam. Their mission, according to citizen journalists online, is to raid Bamenda under the cover of darkness and perpetrate as much killing and violence to completely intimidate the protesters, and to do so at a time of day (darkness) when their acts cannot be recorded and shared via social media.

Photos and video of some of the ten victims killed in Bamenda Thursdayand posted on social media suggest that several of them were executed outright or were killed execution style.

One of the horror pictures shows one of the victims who was arrested, stripped naked, tortured and then executed by firing a bullet up either his anus or his genitals, ripping through his manhood.

Another picture showed eight young men arrested, stripped of their shirts and made to lie facedown on the road with riot police and gendarme officers patrolling not far away from them. Social media accounts hold that the eight were later executed while lying on the road and their bodies were carted away by their executioners, apparently also instructed to cover up for their crimes by moving the bodies away from the scene of execution.

On one video, a group of young men who had converted a piece of plank into a stretcher are seen rushing an injured teenager to a nearby hospital. Voices in the video explain that the teenage victim was standing outside the entrance of their family home when he was shot at point blank, execution style.

Yet another video posted by one of the many citizen journalists struggling Thursday to document the executions (at great risk to themselves) showed a military pickup truck, picking up and carry away the remains of someone that had been killed and had been lying in the street just minutes before.

Cameroonian security forces and the dreaded secret or political police are known to “disappear” protesters and opponents of Mr. Paul Biya, the president of Cameroon for 34 years already. He is more likely than not to seek another eight-year term in presidential elections expected to hold in 2018.

Democracy and human rights activist, Tapang Ivo Tanku, quoted “unconfirmed reports” on social media as alleging that a police station had been burnt down by angry protesters in Bamenda after they stormed it earlier on Thursday to decry the killing of young men in Bamenda.

Video posted online showed young people outside that police station, screaming their grief and calling for justice. Pointing at the remains of another young man, shut dead and still lying in the street outside the police station, the protesters said the victim had been killed by gunfire coming from that police station. One of the protesters raised the lifeless body of the victim, leaned the upper part of the remains from waist up against his legs, and screamed into the phone camera “we want justice”.

Yet more video showed a crowd stumbling on another young man who had been executed or killed execution style. A few voices in the video identify the victim by his first name, apparently, Divine. The remains of Divine showed that his jaws had been slashed from the mouth right up to just before his ears with a knife or some other sharp object. Bullet wounds on his left leg, through the jeans trousers he was wearing and one on his face left no one in doubt that he had died of his gunshot wounds.

Born on the Wrong Side of the River Mungo, Charged with the Crime of Not Being Francophone, and Executed

The worst has happened in Bamenda, screamed a headline on the online news portal, Cameron Journal, published by a Texas-based Cameroonian-American.

Young people are being killed in Bamenda, wrote Innocent Chia, a Cameroonian journalist and blogger now based in Chicago, USA, and author of an online blog, The Chia Report.

“Many watched this morning how… police fired straight at me. God Almighty did another miracle. The bullet was diverted to my feet and only wounded both feet”, wrote Mancho Bibixy on social media. 

Mancho Bibixy is the young man who has become the face of the ongoing protests in Cameroon after he brought his own coffin to the first protest march in Bamenda and stood in it to make his speech.

Mancho Bibixy told the crowd at a Bamenda town road junction – Liberty Square, made famous by the killing on that spot in 1990 of six young people who had joined demonstrations calling for the end of one party rule - that he had come to the rally ready to die and had taken the time to buy the coffin for his own funeral.

His feelings are shared by millions of people who have nicknamed the ongoing protests in Cameroon "The Coffin Revolution".

The “sole crime” of the young people killed, wrote Mr. Chia, “is that they were born on the wrong side of the River Mungo and happen to speak English, not French”. The Mungo River serves as the borderline between English and French-speaking Cameroons.

Cameroonians based in the United States will be appealing to the administration of President Barack Obama, to Congress, the United Nations and the rest of the civilized world to the horrors unfolding in Bamenda and across most of English-speaking parts of Cameroon during a grand rally.

The rally (holding outside the White House from noon to 2pm) was scheduled before the events of Bamenda and was intended to drum up support in the United States for the restoration of the independence of Southern Cameroons.

Birth of MoRISC to Champion the Restoration of Independence

A federation of organizations has been freshly constituted to mobilize international support for the restoration of the independence of Southern Cameroons. Known as the Movement for the Restoration of the Independence of Southern Cameroons (abbreviated MoRISC), it brings together members of leading opposition party, SDF based in the Washington, DC, Metro Area, and leaders of pro-independence, pro-democracy and pro-human rights organizations.

The movement is focused more on independence for Southern Cameroons, but the anger overflows into demands for Cameroon’s long-serving dictator, Paul Biya, to step down.

 “It is time for you (Paul Biya) to pack and go”, chanted a group of Cameroonians living in France, who on Thursday staged a protest march down several blocks of streets in the French capital, Paris.

“Tell Paul Biya and his bunch of killers and criminals that they will have to account for all the innocent Southern Cameroonian lives they are destroying”, a Washington-based Cameroonian-American activist, Chrstimas Ebini, wrote Thursday on the Cameroon Online WhatsApp eGroup. “Tell him to get his forces out of Southern Cameroons”, he added.

The feeling that there is a conspiracy by French-speaking Cameroonians to hold their English-speaking citizens in a relations of black-on-black colonial domination has been strengthened by the fact that trade unions of lawyers and teachers in the French-speaking parts of the country have not shown any solidarity with their colleagues, despite the violent attacks they have suffered at the hands of security forces.

Prime Minister, Cabinet Ministers and Others Airlifted to Safety

Social media is overloaded with horrific pictures and videos of the tragedy unfolding in Bamenda, where earlier Thursday, the Prime Minister of Cameroon, Philomen Yang, several members of his government and sympathizers of the ruling Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) held a rally in an attempt to show support for the present unitary state of Cameroon and opposition to the growing pro-independence movement.

According to eyewitness reports, the ruling party ferried hundreds of youngsters from neighboring French-speaking regions to attend the rally in Bamenda, after a similar attempt to stage a rally Tuesday in Buea, the former capital of British-administered Southern Cameroons until it gained independence on 1 October 1961, flopped completely. On Monday, the leader of the SDF, Ni John Fru Ndi led a monstrous demonstration in Buea, attended by several thousands to show support for independence and to protest against human rights violations against students of the University of Buea and lawyers from the English-speaking part of Cameroon who, along with teachers have been on strike to protest marginalization.

The two strikes have since shown as much sympathy for independence as do many in the ranks of the opposition SDF. At the Buea rally on Monday, one singer who tried to sing the anthem of Cameroon at the start got shouted down by thousands others: “No anthem. No anthem.”

The United Nations General Assembly voted on 21 April 1961 to grant independence to the English-speaking part of the Cameroons, then known as British Southern Cameroons. The French-speaking part of Cameroon (eight of the current ten regions of the country and accounting for 80% of the population) gained independence from France on 1 January 1960, more than a year and a half before the English-speaking part of the country.

Shortly after troops started firing into crowds of demonstrators and killing people on Thursday in Bamenda, angry mobs took to the streets, chasing after those who had come to town to show their support for Mr. Biya and the unitary state he leads. According to social media accounts, the irate crowds even targeted the Prime Minister and ministers, raising barricades on roads leading from the Ayaba Hotel in downtown Bamenda where the Prime Minister was reportedly forced to hunker down for a couple of hours before being airlifted out of the town in a military helicopter.

One of his cabinet ministers, Paul Atanga Nji, who serves as the special security adviser to President Paul Biya, was reportedly also chased after by angry protesters, some of whom reportedly attacked him physically. On one video posted on social media, showing someone arriving the Bamenda Regional Hospital in the regalia of the ruling party, a footnote claimed that Mr. Atanga Nji was hurt in one of his eyes by the angry mob.

Sources say Mr. Atanga Nji also had to airlifted into safety in a military helicopter from the Bamenda Regional Hospital after mobs reportedly burnt down his car parked outside the hospital. The protesters also lowered the Cameroonian flag on the grounds of the hospital and, in its place, raised the flag of Southern Cameroons. Two days earlier, similar flag lowering and hoisting of the Southern Cameroons flag had been reported in Kumba, in the English-speaking South West Region.

Two weeks ago, Mr. Atanga Nji, a former convict who has currently been charged with embezzling public funds by the government-created anti-corruption court, was the object of strong ridicule on social media after he claimed in an interview on state television that there was no problem of marginalization of Cameroon’s English-speaking minority (20% of the country’s 22 million inhabitants).

As Bamenda settles into an uneasy calm Thursday night, most social media postings from residents in that town repeat a message that rang through most posts in the day. By ordering executions in Bamenda Thursday, Mr. Biya has declared war on Southern Cameroons, citizen journalists kept repeating Thursday on social media.

END

Please, share this report with your representative in Congress, your Member of Parliament or the National Assembly, your Senators, with Media Outlets in your country, with Human rights Organizations… and add your name to several petitions online to denounce the war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated by the colonialist government of Cameroun against citizens of Southern Cameroons.
