Southern Cameroons Interim Government

WFN SECURITY ALERT FOR FEBRUARY 23, 2011

The Way Forwards Network to restore Southern Cameroons to its independence from the United Nations Trust Territories, by this notice, urges citizens of the Southern Cameroons NOT to participate to any degree in the strikes or other demonstrations planned for Wednesday February 23, 2011 against the Republic of Cameroun (LRC). These are internal affiars of that country; they are not our priorities. The priorities of Cameroun (LRC) are entirely different at this time from the priorities of our country Southern Cameroons. Theirs is freedom from a dictatorship; ours is independence and withdrawal of Cameroun's armed forces from Southern Cameroons.

The time to dialogue with our neighbours will come only later, either with the present government or with the future government that replaces it.

The intent in this urgent security alert is to protect our citizens at home and in Cameroun from predictable killings, in light of ongoing assaults in Libya on demonstrators seeking to oust their ruling regime.

The Way Forwards Network for the Emancipation of our territory urges our citizens at home to NOT give the notorious Biya regime any excuse to brutalise Southern Cameroonians at home or in Cameroun (LRC).

LESSONS

In 2009 LRC armed forces scapegoated Southern Cameroons nationals resident in Cameroun (LRC) instead of admitting its internal problems. Given those events of 2009, history is extremely likely to repeat itself on Wednesday February 23 if Southern Cameroonians demonstrate against the government of their host country LRC.

By this alert, we urges Southern Cameroons nationals living in Cameroun NOT to demonstrate with Camerounese this Wednesday. Further, those who can leave their residential areas in border cities like Douala should do so and seek temporary refuge back home for the duration of the strikes and demonstrate by Camerounese against their government.

Fon Gorji Dinka, with military training and epaulets on his soldiers, would have been Ambazonia's (Southern Cameroons') Charles de Gaulle.

 

Alas, he's a legally trained mind who has used the weapons of his training to set his country and people on the path to freedom from the brutal occupation by a neighboring state, la Republique du Cameroun.

The African Commission’s Ruling in Gumne et al v. Cameroun : Digest and Comment

February 25, 2010

By Professor C Anyangwe

Nota: Some minds are probably not clear on what the African Commission decided in Communication 266, in part because of the length and wordiness of the ruling. Predictably, Republique du Cameroun itself, for dishonest self-serving political reasons deliberately misrepresents the ruling to its people, many of who seem indifferent to it or appear not to understand its import. What follows is an abridged version of the ruling. This synopsis and the comment appended at the end of it are intended to facilitate and further understanding of the matters in issue in the case and the decision that was arrived at. The text of the ruling, though abridged, is entirely in the words of the Commission itself. The headings in the text and the comment at the end are of course mine.

The Commission’s Decision on Admissibility

The admissibility of communications brought pursuant to Article 55 of the African Charter is governed by the conditions stipulated in Article 56 of the African Charter. This Article lays down seven (7) conditions, which must be fulfilled by a Complainant for a communication to be declared admissible. Of the seven conditions, the Respondent State claims that the Complainants have not fulfilled four, namely: Article 56(1), (2), (3) and (4). From the submissions of the Respondent State, there is an inference that Article 56(7) has not been fulfilled by the Complainant.

As to the condition that the Complaint must state the name(s) of its author(s):

The Respondent State submits that contrary to Article 56(1) of the African Charter, the victims of the alleged violations, indicated in the communication have not been identified. ... [T]he African Commission notes that the authors of the communication have been identified at page 1 of the communication and they are 14 in number. Their ages and professions have also been given as well as their addresses of service. Furthermore, the communication reveals that the authors of the communication are members of the Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC) and the Southern Cameroons Peoples' Organization (SCAPO), organisations that were established principally to protect and advance the human and peoples' rights of Southern Cameroonians, including their right to self-determination. Article 56 (1) of the African Charter requires a communication to indicate its authors and not the victims of the violations. Thus the present communication cannot be declared inadmissible on the basis of Article 56(1). ...

SCAPO Statement on Purported Registration as a Political Party in Republique du Cameroun

February 12, 2010

It has been drawn onto the attention of the Southern Cameroons Peoples'
Organisation (SCAPO) of a Press Release by a certain Mr/Ms ABAKAR AHAMAT, who
claims to be a Senior Administrative Officer in the Bamenda Region, Southern
Cameroons; and who states that SCAPO has registered as a political party in La
Republique du Cameroun on 23 October 2009. SCAPO can say without reservation
that this is totally false; and that we do not know this person [ABAKAR AHAMAT].

SCAPO declared, in 2006, that we are a political party in Southern Cameroons;
and not a party in La Republique du Cameroun. SCAPO has nothing to do with La
Republique du Cameroun inthis critical moment in our history. We must remind the
people of Southern Cameroons, and those of La Republique du Cameroun, as well as
the international community that SCAPO is fully and unchangeably committed to
the sovereignty of Southern Cameroons. This guiding principle and course will
never be altered. Consequently, we are not in line with any individual who wish
to deviate from this course.

The freedom of association is a universal one. As a result, people are free to
associate with any organisation they deem match their political philosophy.
SCAPO is not a political party in La Republique du Cameroun; and we have never
registered as a political party in La Republique du Cameroun. Any purported
registration of SCAPO with La Republique du Cameroun authorities is a gigantic
fraud; and therefore null and void.

We are fully aware that there are genuine Southern Cameroonians who have
political parties in the Republic of Cameroon. We urge them, in good faithe, to
join the struggle for the self-determination and Independence of Southern
Cameroons.

SCAPO believes that a peacefully negotiated settlement for the sovereignty and
independence of Southern Cameroons is the most amicable solution to this
question; and we call on La Republique du Cameroun and President Paul Biya of
that state to use his good offices to comply with Recommendations by the African
Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights requiring that La Republique du Cameroun
engages in Constructive Dialogue with SCAPO, the SCNC and the Southern Cameroons
people.

We will never surrender our sovereignty; as this is a God-given right. We,
therefore, have to be vigilant against false alarms and malicious rumours
conjured up with a deliberate intent and viciously diabolical agenda aimed at
derailing the freedom of a people who have been subjugated for half a century by
La Republique du Cameroun.

God Bless you all.

Dr. Louis Egbe Mbua
SCAPO Delegate, UK and Northern Ireland.
