What has delayed our success is sabotage and indiscipline.

The Lord God in His infinite mercy opened Fon Dinka’s eyes to see that by operation of international law, the 2 January 1984 law 84/01 which revived the Republic of Cameroon (which was extinct in October 1961) in fact dissolved that illegal ill-fated and much troubled union which Anglo-French imperialism imposed on us in 1961.

This means that

1. the two countries again became as mutually sovereign and as legally distinct from each other as they were before 1 October 1961
2. the rule of our country by the Republic of Cameroon constitutes an act of aggression
3. our country whether alone or with the help of other countries must take steps including the use of force to terminate Cameroon occupation.

In the UN and the international community the entity called Cameroon is the French Cameroun that was admitted as UN Member State as Republic of Cameroon since 1960 while our country was still within the Federation of Nigeria.

If we are to ask anyone or country for assistance to expel Cameroon from our country we must indentify our country by a name of its own. Fortunately the geographical identify of our country as Ambazonia has been God sent since the 60s. 

Do you not exhibit insanity if you ask a country to help in expelling Cameroon from Southern Cameroon? 

When East Pakistan wanted to free itself from Pakistan it declared itself an independent Nation with the name Bangladesh. It then sought help from India; India then sent its army to help expel Pakistan from Bangladesh.

When Pakistan accused India of aggression at the UN Security Council, India responded that Bangladesh is not in Pakistan; and that India went into Bangladesh on respond to a call by Bangladesh for help against Pakistan's aggression. 

The UN could not even condemn India because the UN Charter Article 51 entitles any country which is a victim of aggression to use force whether alone or with the help of other countries to flush out the aggressor.

So if Bangladesh had continued calling itself East Pakistan all nations would treat it as an internal minority problem and no country would dare help for fear of being accused of aiding terrorist insurgency.

I wonder if those who keep calling our country Southern Cameroon see how they are indirectly telling foreign friends and sympathizers that this is an internal Cameroon affair and that they should keep out of it. Is this not sabotage by these agents of Franco-Cameroon imperialism?

Let no one bring up South Sudan because geographically, South Sudan is the Southern part of Sudan. Moreover, the FUKUS-Axis decided to balkanize Sudan not because of the more than 20 years of a bloody war but in order to deprive China of the vital energy resources needed for her rapid growing economy which is set to become number 1 by 2025.

The Lord God enabled us to obtain the judgment HCB/28/92 which the UN says was the best attempt at domestic redress of the dispute between Ambazonia and Cameroon. HCB/28/92 orders the expulsion of all elements of Cameroon rule from Ambazonian territory. 

In 1993 the Ambazonian Head of State requested the aid of Nigeria's ruler General Sani Abacha to use Nigeria's Good Offices to get Paul Biya comply with the judgment. Abacha's lawyers confirmed that our case was even better than that of Bangladesh in that through the Cameroon High Court case HCB/28/92 the Republic of Cameroon and Paul Biya (who was the 2nd Defendant in the suit) were made to accord judicial recognition of the former Southern British Cameroons as Republic of Ambazonia. 

If through HCB/28/92 Biya recognizes our country as Ambazonia, are we not supposed to hang on that name Ambazonia so as to inflict guilt on anybody who seeks to treat Ambazonia as an integral part of Cameroon?

Just as the name Bangladesh gave India the right to send its armed forces to liberate Bangladesh from Pakistan, so does the name Ambazonia give any nations the right to help us to liberate Ambazonia from Cameroon. 

So General Abacha offered Nigeria's Good offices to get Biya to smoothly implement HCB/28/92.  But would General Abacha have made the move if we had asked him to offer Nigeria’s Good Offices to get Cameroon out of Southern Cameroon? 

Let those who insist on identifying our country as Southern Cameroon understand that they are sabotaging our liberation cause even if they are unknowingly doing so. 

Biya rejected Abacha's offer; so Abacha captured the oil rich Bakassi Peninsula and told Biya to negotiate a synchronize withdrawal of Cameroon from Ambazonian main land at the same time and date as Nigeria withdraws from the Bakassi Peninsula.

Cameroon instead requested an emergency session of the UN Security Council to condemn Nigeria and get Nigeria out of Bakassi. Since Cameroon itself is occupying Ambazonian main land the UN refused even to condemn Nigeria. Biya and France had to go to the ICJ 

Look at the UN record seeking to get Cameroon quit Ambazonia quietly:

1. UN recognizes our country as Ambazonia but saboteurs insists that our country is the Southern Part of Cameroon
2. UN got Biya to sign the Annan Bakassi Peace Accord to withdraw from Ambazonia back to the east of Mungo River
3. UN upholds Law 84/01 as the termination of the illegal union between Ambazonia and Cameroon
4. UN upholds HCB/28/92 as the best attempt to redress the Ambazonia-v-Cameroon problem
5. UN dramatized the distinction between Ambazonia and Cameroon by sending  surveyors to rebuild the pillars along the international boundary that separates Ambazonia from Cameroon
6. UN has dramatized the distinction between Ambazonia and Cameroon by presenting to Paul Biya a framed map of the former French Cameroon as the territorial boundaries of what the UN and international law recognize as Cameroon.

This means that UN recognizes Ambazonia as a separate country distinct from Cameroon even though Cameroon is occupying it.

Is it not a shame that those agents of Franco-Cameroon imperialism still call our country Southern Cameroon?

1. To this day none of them has recognized that law 84/01 has put an end to Yaounde's claim to rule our country
2. To this day none of them is calling for full implementation of law 84/01
3. To this day none of them recognizes that HCB/28/92 has ordered that all elements of Cameroon rule should be expelled from Ambazonia
4. To this day none of them is calling for implementation of the expulsion order HCB/28/92
5. To this day none of them recognizes that the United Nations upholds HCB/28/92 as the best attempt at domestic redress.In fact since the UN made its decision public in March 2005, Mola Njoh Litumbe and Dr Gwang Gumne vowed to rubbish that UN decision. Hence while Dr. Gumne in order to sabotage Ambazonia declared his own Republic of AmbazAnia, Mola Njoh Litumbe spent 7 years fighting against HCB/28/92 and UN decision ICCPR/1134/2002
6. To this day none of them is calling for Biya to comply with the Annan Bakassi Peace Accord to withdraw from Ambazonia back to the Mungo
7. To this day  none of them is  cashing in on the fact that the UN dramatized the distinction between Ambazonia and Cameroon by sending surveyors to rebuild the pillars along the international boundary that separates Ambazonia from Cameroon
8. To this day none of them is cashing in on the UN drama on the distinction between Ambazonia and Cameroon by presenting to Paul Biya a framed map of the former French Cameroon as the territorial boundaries of what the UN and international law recognizes as Cameroon.

Any right thinking reasonable man and the foreign friends from whom we are seeking help have agreed that Sabotage and Indiscipline is our curse.

The Ambazonian Head of State issued an ordinance which transformed the Buea demonstration of 1 October last year into an Ambazonian People's Law enforcement Action. He advised that

• a writ of prohibition be issued to prevent any one prosecuting our boys on those Buea events
• a Summons should be issued by way of An Order to Show Cause why an expulsion from Ambazonian territory, of the governors of South West and Northwest plus Cameroon security forces should not become absolute within 5 days.

The affidavit supporting the Order to Show Cause would list out all the above legal texts demanding Cameroon expulsion from Ambazonia. To this day has anyone heard anything yet from those lawyers?

Now we hear of an NDU initiative. 

Just like the Buea initiative which Dr. Susungi invented under the SCNC which was formed in 1995  just to counter the 1993 skeleton government appointed by the Ambazonian Head of State where Dr. Munzuwas PM; Berinyuy 1st Deputy PM; Barrister Elad Attorney General; Dr Anyangwe Foreign Minister; Dr Gumne Minister Secretary General to the Head of State (till He declared his own Republic of AmbazAnia); Hon Justice Nyoh Wakai President of the Ambazonian Consultative Assembly; Barrister Charles Taku Secretary to the Consultative Assembly; Even Achidi Achu was appointed as representing the Ambazonian Head of State on the Custodian Council for the Confederacy of Ambazonia and Cameroon Independent Nations (CACIN).

All this was sabotaged by the Susungi’s SCNC and his Force of argument. SCNC splintered into factions; one led by Fossung, another led by Ebong who declared yet another so called independence of the Federal Republic of Southern Cameroon.

SCNC other factions were led by Dr. Luma; another led by Ndoki Mukete etc etc. Then came another one led by Chief Ayamba which is now in 2 camps with Nfor Ngala Nfor leading one. Ayamba has sacked Nfor and Nfor has in turn has sacked Ayamba. 

We have not included those SCNC factions in Diaspora who owe no allegiance to any SCNC at home.

We have not mentioned SCAPO which was yet still another brain child of Dr. Susungi again. It recently splintered into 3: Dr Ndangam leading the one registering as a Political Party in Cameroon; Dr. Gumneleading the faction rejecting registration; and the 3rd led by Dr Susungi called Action SCAPO. This died when Susungi's Etoudi ambition made him an internet candidate for the Cameroon presidential elections. That ambition seems to have died as many other brain waves of Dr Susungi who in the mean time had flirted with SDF as intending Minister for finance. 

Then we have the so called British Cameroon Restoration Government. But then in 2001 SCNC and Ambazonian activists in USA had agreed at the Adams Town Conference to abandon the name Southern Cameroon and hold to Ambazonia. A Washington DC conference was billed to merge all into Ambazonian activism. 

Yaoundé sent people who hijacked it; and made Prof. Carlson Anyangwe Head a Southern Cameroon Government. It is the same Prof Anyangwe who eventually became Head of State of the British Cameroon Restoration Government which is today mentioned as RG. 

Self seeking ego, Self Aggrandizement, Sabotage and indiscipline have all been the curse of our struggle ever since SCNC was born. 

We have put out this rough history to expose to new comers that what we call a Yaounde dark evil spell will forever torment and dribble us till we return to our first love the NEW Social Oder which fired the opening shots in this struggle in 1985. It positioned our cause on enforcement of law and it has remained on the pinnacle and added domestic and international judgments to our armory. 

We saw a so called Patriotic Coalition Front come and go. It died because it denied the very legal basis of our struggle and instead turned it into politics where France and Cameroon would totally outclass us. 

Now we hear of a so called Ndu Initiative.  If it has learned anything at all from this history of the struggle, then it would proceed first to make a public declaration that all their activism would be based on enforcing law 84/01 and HCB/28/92 and ICCPR/1134/2002 

Of course Yaounde agents within would advise against predicating their actions on law. If after the above history the Ndu men cannot see sense in proclaiming that their activism would be based on law enforcement then this fulfilled the scriptural dictum: Lord who has believed our report and to whom has the arms of the Lord been revealed? Therefore they could not believed because He the Lord hath blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, so they do not see with their eyes nor understand with their hearts, and be converted and I should save them.

No one in his correct senses doubts the fact that with effect from 1st October 1961 the Republic of Cameroun (former French Cameroun) and Ambazonia (former British Southern Cameroons) ceased to exist as mutually sovereign and independent of each other. Instead we had a Federal Republic of Cameroon from then until 2nd June 1972, and then a United Republic of Cameroon until 2nd January 1984.

The legality of the process of creating the Union may be debatable but what is not debatable is that the two countries were in a Union. So when the dead Republic of Cameroun resurrected on 2nd January 1984, that means that the Union which had comprised the two countries is dead. This is simple elementary logic.

The death of the union automatically restored our two countries again and mutually sovereign and distinct from each other as they were before 1st October 1961. But because 95% of Cameroun’s external revenue comes from Ambazonian oil wealth, France (the real face behind the mask called Cameroun) has vowed to keep us under subjugation.

Ambazonia’s struggle is to enforce law 84/01 which requires that Cameroun leaves Ambazonia. Law enforcement of any type relies on the use of force or a credible threat of the use of force. The strategy for ousting the Franco-Cameroun alliance armed forces requires external support. That external support is either secretive or open. External intervention needs a legal mandate.

It is for this reason that the Ambazonian Head of State focused on judicial decrees that are unambiguous in demanding the expulsion of all elements of Cameroun authority from Ambazonia. And God used him to obtain (a) a judgment of the Cameroon High Court HCB/28/92 and (b) a judgment of the United Nations Human Rights tribunal ICCPR/ 1134/ 2002.

But the anti-Ambazonia saboteurs have spent years of time and resources trying to sabotage all this instead of asking the spearhead of our struggle the simple question: “what can I do to advance this cause?” Only two people asked this question and the assignment given to them by the Fon  brought us victory:

[1] Ni John Fru Ndi asked and was assigned to organize the popular demand for the implementation of law 84/01. He organized the Dinka riots and the war cry was on placards that read: Free Fon Dinka, Free the Peoples’ Lawyer. Yaoundé understood this as meaning: We stand and die with what Fon Dinka represent. Cameroun Parliament panicked and adopted a resolution on 11 November 1985 calling for a conference where Buea and Yaoundé would parley as mutual sovereign equals. Cameroun thus accorded legislative recognition of Ambazonia as a sovereign equal. (Victory #1)

[2] A jobless Yaoundé University graduate, Blaise Beryinyuy surfaced at the Nigerian Church House where the Fon was in exile. He asked “What Can I Do To Advance This Cause?” The Fon gave him a technical judicial assignment which yielded us HCB/28/92 victory. In that case, Cameroun and their president Paul Biya:

• (a) formally recognized Ambazonia as a sovereign nation with the Southern Cameroons constitution as Ambazonia’s constitution, and with Fon Gorji-Dinka as Ambazonia’s Head of State and they submitted to an order expelling from Ambazonia all elements of Cameroun authority. (Victory #2)
• (b) The Fon himself then moved and got the United Nations Tribunal on Human Rights to confirm this and call of Cameroun to put an end to the occupation of Ambazonia which makes it impossible for the Ambazonian leader to return from exile. (Victory #3)

So had any “Southern Cameroonian” or any liberation group fighting to liberate “the Southern Cameroons” been truly motivated with selfless patriotism, they or their leadership would have asked the Spear Head of our struggle the simple question: “what do we do to get victory?” and I believe that we would have been free by now. But for self-seeking reasons the saboteurs have been engaged in trying to sabotage Fon Dinka and the entire Government of Ambazonia. And now there is general frustration hanging over their heads they are now in open war against each other. In spite of all this, the Fon is still open for consultation.

The scriptures tells us in Gal 6:7 that "Whatsoever a Man Soweth, That Shall He Also Reap.”

So be it.

 

Thanks Thomas for your example of Western Sahara being an example of a country that has an adjective "Western" attached the noun Sahara. That said, is there any other country in the world that has the noun Sahara as a name of a country? No! That is a lone case.

Our case is that, we are fighting on a common noun “Cameroon”. That is what gives Cameroon who first adopted that noun (Cameroon) on the 1st Jan 1960, the upper hand when the mess of our Colonial Master (Britain), our elders and the UN are all factored in. It is left for us to correct these errors and stay clear from ambiguity that works against us. That is what our first liberation thinkers did --to come up with the noun AMBAZONIA to replace the entity that was known as United Nations Trust Territory of The Southern Cameroons Under United Kingdom Administration (1946–1961).

Please did you read the last paragraph on page 8 of the New Social Order as I said, there it reads: “If the expression "Southern Cameroons" has exposed us to any annexationist ambitions, then we will henceforth call ourselves AMBAZONIA". They saw that even with the use of WEST Cameroon identity things were not even better, so they decided to give a substantive change by coming up with name Ambazonia. It was because they knew that it was Cameroon’s advantage point backed by the colonial masters.

It was not Fon Dinka’s personal decision but something that they had agreed on for the sake of our people. From that date things got tough on the leader who signed the New Social Order document, others disappeared and other stood by for a while but left to embark on different strategies under the cover of Cameroon identity and now we all know the outcome of that strategy has failed. One point is clear, the economics principle of division of labor was fully at work before the devil got in during the early days of Ambazonia. There were those that handled public riots, which yielded great fruits, those handling the translation and cutting the "t" and dotting the "i" of their documents, and those handling legal aspect (which Fon Dinka is a member). We all now know the out-come of those who left to embark on different strategies while the Ambazonia brand stayed on till this day despite the tough times with the hope of a united stand. Please read the Ambazonian Strategy for Restoration of Power to the people.

That was a candid contribution from the ARC to brethren that left rangs to embark on different strategies. Yet all they get is that ARC should disband Ambazonia despite her little contribution. Does that make sense?

Our people had taken French Cameroon in good faith but she was not. My take is that if we put aside the Southern Cameroon identity as the ARC has done, Cameroon and her French master has nothing to say, and the British that sold us will have no way to help Cameroon in international arenas as well. The British recognizes the 1960 Constitutional mafia by French Cameroon as the Federal Constitution for the two nations as part of what the UN had demanded in UN Resolution 1608 XV for implementation. Majority of our elders who were political actors then and thereafter did not objected or questioned it. We all now know it was mafia. God gave us a way out by Biya passing the Restoration law 84/001. By this law the British can no longer stand to cover up their fraud they did by supporting Cameroon because Biya has dissolved the illegal and uncompleted union that the British mastermind. Since the illegal or uncompleted union is no longer in existence because of the above law, so too we find our way out. Is that not God at work for the oppressed? To make things more unique, our few but brave elders under cover with God’s wisdom coined the noun AMBAZONIA as to denial our oppressor any opportunity or advantage over the noun Cameroon.

This way we would have spared the British and the UN from embarrassment that they were party to the mafia – just to get our freedom first. Such will help us concentrate our energy on Cameroon that the “illegal or uncompleted union” was over since 1984. But if we keep saying there was no union, and given the fact that we are all aware that the union process was in motion and had covered substantial points to be consider in the Union (The Two Alternatives Option 2 -Republic of Cameroun and Southern Cameroons), then it pitches us first against the British and the UN to correct their role in the mess before taking on Nigeria and then Cameroon. Is that what we want? Do we think that text book international law works in a vacuum? No! Because, if we say we are experts in international law, then we first have to seek redress for the fact Britain divided the British Cameroon in to two parts (Northern and Southern Cameroons), secondly seek correction for the fact that the trusteeship had only two options that is self-government or independence. But the British forced us to the corner in what is known as “independence by joining”. Thirdly seek redress for the non-implementation of UN Resolution 1608 XVI and so on. Is that what we want?

Let me share with you the British official stand point. On the 24th October 1961 --Prorogation Her Majesty’s most Gracious Speech to the join Houses of Lord and Common Ref: vol 646 cc838-42 states in paragraph 11, as follows -- Following on a plebiscite held last February United Kingdom Trusteeship in the Cameroons has been terminated. The Northern part has joined Nigeria and the Southern part has united in a Federation with the Cameroun Republic.

So, what were the terms of the plebiscite? Read here: The Two Alternatives Option 2 -Republic of Cameroun and Southern Cameroons

Our master says there was a federation but we know truly that the federation was not complete because it failed short what was stated in the Two Alternative option 2. Should we fight for the Federation to be finished in accordance to UN Charter article 102 thereby exposing the UN and British errors before bring in Cameroon? Or make use of the Restoration Law 84/001 that wiped out the uncompleted federation that our Colonial Masters Britain says existed?

That is why ARC decision to anchor on Restoration Law 84/001 is so profound because what the UN demanded and I people voted for had never seen the light of day. It is also profound because as I said it denied Britain from helping Cameroon to regain what was illegally given to her, and gives to us back what the British had denied us in the first place –that is complete independence as per UN charter article 76b.

Pointing out the failure by Britain to implement terms of The Two Alternative option 2 offered us by Cameroon through UN and our people votered for, such will enable some member states of the UN to help us, given that the UN had failed in the first place to complete their job and left Britain to sell us to Cameroon under the bogus pretext that there was a completed federal constitution for the two nations.

All we need is to assert our AMBAZONIA identity as we enforce the various judgments that the ARC has won for us. If we try to go the Southern Cameroons way then our occupier will have full support from France and our Colonial master in international arenas against us. Try and see.

As for the two Guineas I think they are different nations in that there are not having adjectives attached to it. Also think of the two Congo that is Libreville and Kinshasa --adjectives are not attached to the noun Congo. Cameroon knows this very well and will never dare to stand in court with Ambazonia identity and this identity has gain root that we should use it to get our freedom and then decide what next if that is the wish of the people. Please read the paragraph 24 of the proclamation filed at the UN by the ARC it state:

24. Considering that an Ambazonian government-in-exile has been formed, headed by Ambazonian Crown Prince H.R.H. Fon Fongum Gorji-Dinka the interim Head of State of the Republic of Ambazonia.

What do we want? --The head of Fon Gorji to be chopped off and brought to us to be used as a cup to be drinking water with? --- for being the leader of the ARC and standing firm against Cameroon and for holding principles that aim at restoring the lost statehood of West Cameroon?

Again paragraph 28 of that set proclamation states that “Pending the re-establishment of the institutions of Ambazonia, Ni John Fru Ndi, and Dr. Martin Ngeka Luma shall co-ordinate the day-to-day internal administration of Ambazonia”. Does that sound that Fon Dinka only wanted to be head?

Where these two (Fru Ndi and late Dr. Luma) not the architects of the New Social Order among others? Did Dinka say only him can be the interim Head of State and acting prime ministers as per the Southern Cameroons Order in Council that Adhijo suspended? Or did Fon Gorji asked any of them to enter into any cult as perverse agent of Cameroon have been saying?

Now we read how Ebenezer is running his mouth talking of Fru Ndi being a genius and Dinka a bad man.  Is the SDF being what it is today with top brass out, because Fon Dinka the bad man is part of the SDF stopping the genius  Fru Ndi  from taking up the Ambazonia plight that they all started? When there are no facts to back up a point what come next is obvious. So all you can say about Dinka is that he lied? Sorry mates, you have picked red card --so you lose. What you are now saying about Fon Dinka, those better than you and have ate and drank with Fon Dinka have done more than that and it has come out to be lies.

I am just back to my house from South Sudan’s nationhood celebration here in Australia. There I saw 12 men dressed in military uniform of South Sudan, taking guard of the South Sudan’s flag that was flying side by side the Australian flag. I recalled our own youth league leaders that claimed to go the military way running their mouth as if they were suffering from verbal diarrhoea. I begin to wonder what type of army they would have built if power was in their hands.

Take note I said SOUTH Sudan and not Southern Sudan we have for long failed to appreciate adjective Southern a nation’s name. It took late John Garang about 20 years or more at the helm of SPLA to secure the final peace accord for his people before being killed in a plane crash two year after signing the peace accord. Our own case is that Fon Gorji Dinka’s head should be brought to some people to be used as a cup in drinking water with. They care less of best principles and the suffering of our people but are all looking for positions. If the amount of money that has been donated to various groups was ever given to the ARC, I think all hell would have long break loose.

Personally, putting aside the Ambazonian identity will take us backward most especially wiping out the most valuable HCB28/92 that has been endorsed by a UN organ that Ambazonia is now under Franco-Cameroon’s occupation.  That to me is the key or something very important that, if we pushed aside as the agents of Yaoundé are trying hard to do, Cameroon will gain considerable power once more to our disadvantage. The Banjul verdict will just be a perfect gift to Cameroon that we are “a people” in Cameroon. Can to think of it that some are saying that there is no union or illegal union or uncompleted union as per the The Two Alternatives Option 2 -Republic of Cameroun and Southern Cameroons and the Colonial Mater says there was a union. Where will they start to fight?

If the 1985 CNU Conference plan had worked, the Ambazonia identity was still to go to the people or parliament or anybody that was to come up. Today guys are just talking as if whatever the ARC had done or is doing can never be changed. We are at war to get free, then to get back to real business of nation building with due respect to the law and to one another. The HCB28/92 setting is that anybody that assumed the position of Head of State of Ambazonia will still have the power to question Cameroon occupation of Ambazonia.  It is not that only Fon Dinka can do it or that without him it is over. No! That is while folks are doing their best to downgrade all what ARC is doing to the advantage of our occupier.

Fon Dinka is not the problem but the principles that he and the other members of ARC have stood for, that have been giving headache to those who do not want us to be free. Because the ARC knows fully well, that the fight is a struggle to restore a lost statehood of a Nation, all steps were taken and are being taken to accord that nationhood importance by having in all it verdicts  the corporate personality Head of State, should in case any changes are to made any time. Who so ever comes to be head of state will therefore continue. It is not a one man show at all. Yaounde hate to see any organised body as Ambazonia

ARC has called for Law Enforcement but agents of Cameroon are doing their best to put down the very verdicts that are our first lines of proof that Cameroon is an aggressor or occupier. Try to go the bush-way without any legal backing and see what will befall you in this day and age.

In my capacity as SG of the RG,  I sent this to  leaders at Washington Conclave, June 25th, as talking points. If this is the well intended letter to which an unnecessary public  response is made, I put it to the same public fora to compare and contrast. Enjoy it.
-------------------

Suggestions by a humble servant and the Secretary General of the Restoration Government to Group Leaders Meeting in Washington, DC June 24 - June 26, 2011. 

Greetings to everyone.

I am not  able to attend the Washington meeting because I am not well. Please, excuse my absence. This report is made to enhance discussions and decision-making considering all the cards on the table and RG initiatives to make sure we do not head towards any road block again. Have no doubt,  I am for Unity without any wavering.

As SG of the RG, I have been sent by the Head of Government on diplomatic missions to high places in the USA & UN. I have made numerous trips to UN, US State Department and US Senate Building. One of those trips I made with Chairman Ebenezar Akwanga to Senator Landrieu of Louisiana in DC Office on invitation. I am speaking from deep inside diplomatic hints. We need a new Identity. That is a New Name. I really do not care whether it is Ambazonia or not. It is only a strategic name to gain Independence. Once we are Independent, our Parliament will decide permanent name or conduct a name referendum. The Southern Cameroons is not serving us well. LRC has tainted many minds already!!!!. Whatever name we have now is TEMPORARY. Why?

The RG sent a delegation to Africa Union Border and Security Committee in 2010, led by Mola and Mr. Ndangam. They reported that a Diplomat hinted us on changing our name to send a powerful signal. Ask Mola. Ask Mr. Ndangam. During this mission Mola brought up British Northern Cameroons issue which turned off some sympathetic ears. We cannot and should not take on Nigeriaand LRC at the same time. It helps LRC!

The RG formed a Name Selection Committee Chaired by Mola, and I have the report it filed to the HoG recommending the name Ambazonia. In our exchange of notes last week while Mola was in London, on addressing Fon Dinka, he referred to Southern Cameroons(Ambazonia).
Based on the report from the Name Selection Committee and after serious considerations, Prof Carlson Anyangwe wrote to OsloConclave to consider the Name Ambazonia and that he was ready to yield for the interest of the cause. I have  copy of the letter by Prof. to Oslo for archives.

Our main challenge to-date is to secure support from a UN member willing  to bring up our case at the UN. I have been to the UN, Political Affairs Section and was told that there is a Letter of Formalization of Republic of Ambazonia. I was asked if I knew about it. I was then advised that unless a UN member brings our case to the General Assembly, and except we act otherwise the UN members will not betray fellow members. My conclusion is that it is a “Njangi” House where each one protects the other.

I belong to SCAPO. Like my Chair says, whatever is going to take the cause a step forward he will support. He will speak for  SCAPO. As SG, I will say that  If we see that Ambazonia is a step forward to get a UN Member to sponsor us, as I am hinted it is,  let us harmonize. It is not imposition. It is working to our own strategic advantage. LRC does not want us to follow this route and it is doing everything to confuse us.

The Ambazonia vs LRC talks in London ended in LRC being told, it has to evacuate Ambazonia. It is serious out there and Dinka is working solo towards this. I only wish he could come and address people personally. He says he has been betrayed alot and that after the Ambazonia V LRC talks in London last year, 2010, LRC is bent to destabilize Ambazonia with high level spies amongst us. That he has done a lot not to be wreckless at this time. On the other hand, if a group has secured a sponsorship, let us harmonize with Ambazonia and round up our struggle as we maximize our strengths. It is our cause. UN Sponsorship is KEY!

Some compatriots have asked how I can be SCAPO and RG. I say simply that Roberts Gates is a Republican and served in Obama democratic Administration. It is not so critical to give up one for the other, especially as we do not have many who can get the job done. I maintain SCAPO’s values and I see great similarity and complementary relationship  between SCAPO and Ambazonia from the legal perspective.

Another question that I was asked at UN last year when I went there on Mission is, are we ready to govern ourselves? Is it just wanting to get away from LRC or do we have a credible economic plan that is different and will take the Country forward? I said YES at the time we had SOCAMPACT. Then I was told that our leaders must articulate that economic plan and watch foul language.

Seeing from Ambazonia Webpage, there is effort in this direction and there is a structure. Ambazonia is a name like Southern Cameroons. This we must internalize and see that there is  the Ambazonia Restoration Council, which is the group. Let us always invite the Ambazonia Restoration Council (ARC). Prof Benard Fonlon, Prof Anyangwe and HRH Fon Gorji Dinka were founding members of the ARC in 1985.

We do not know what the Fon has in stock, maybe a pleasant surprise for us. Are we going to turn that down because of a TEMPORARY Name?

Sometimes we must allow objectivity reign in us to see that if something is good for the cause, let us support it and use the good thing for the general good. Some folks object with no alternative. Terrible is it not?

Just last Month, Prof Anyangwe, sent me to investigate from UN why the Maps were handed to LRC. I got inside feedback that the maps were to remind Biya of Cameroon then and Cameroon now. That UN did not forsee us making political capital out of it, which rightly we have the right. That,  we need a Member Nation to bring our case up at the UN. Again, the name Dinka and Ambazonia came up from their end not my end. So, for some reasons, something is going on in there we do not really know.

I hope I have made a frank report about what I know from my multiple connections.  I will conclude by saying, my sentiments are exactly Prof. Anyangwe's sentiments. We want results not positions. Our people deserve results. The time is now. I wish you good deliberation for our sake.

God bless us and give us fraternal wisdom.

Thank You.
