Celebrating 50th Anniversary at 51; “Many Opportunities Await S.Cameroon & SCNC this Oct 1ST”



The 1st of October 2012 offers a gigantic opportunity to the people of Southern Cameroons. If under the joint leadership of the liberation movements, our people massively attend the looming 51st Anniversary celebration and in the proper attire of independence T-shirt, this year’s celebration holds the potential to give our struggle the greatest single forward thrust ever, because no matter what might happen, we are bound to emerge victorious.
La Republic may again shy away:
It would be recalled how last year La Republic dodged from the celebration on flimsy excuses. From existing trends, there is the probability that they might also disappear this year, given that up till now, there is no preparation going on in Buea.
Specifically, the plan to construct a three star hotel worth 7 billion francs stopped a long time ago, when the place was bulldozed and the equipment was abandoned. Consequently, there will be no accommodation for International guests. According to recent media reports, the giant hotel construction is instead taking place in their Southern Region.
The historic event is barely 2 months away. So, even if these main projects and the host of the related minor ones were embarked upon now, there is no magic by which they could be completed within the few remaining months.
Furthermore, a new factor now makes it clearer that the event does not still command as much importance in the mind of the regime. If it did, as a matter of political common sense, they would have delayed the incarceration of Chief Ephraim Inoni until after the celebration.
Apart from being an Ex-Prime Minister, the facts of a popular Traditional Ruler and the Chairman of the organizing committee of the anticipated event, are enough prestigious ranks to have dismissed the slightest apprehension of his possible escape, such that he needs to be urgently confined at all cost.

It follows that to have simply brushed aside these considerations, rounded up such a political figure, and subjected him to a process of utter humiliation and disgrace, is a signal that the regime does no longer give a damn to the celebration. 
This assessment is not unsound, considering other related manifestations The negligible popularity the regime pretended to enjoy in the South West has evaporated. The evidence is the current constant calling by the Chiefs of the Region for the unconditional release of their peer, or “there would be no Reunification celebration”.
There was also the unusual booing and jeering in Kumba of a stalwart of the Regime, Dr. Agbor Tabi, immediately following the arrest. The meaning of it is a rejection of his proposal to send the usual message of congratulation to Mr. Biya, whether or not he or someone else achieved something. Whereas ordinarily, it would have been unanimously adopted..
In light of the foregoing, the probability is that, despite the assurances, the Regime might not show up in Buea on the 1st of October 2012. If this forecast is correct, the absence would turn the celebration into a magnificent advantage for the people of Southern Cameroons.
First, the regime would have no further reasons to justify any third consecutive postponement. And that would prompt the International Community to re-examine the repeated absences, as an escape from the shame of a false Reunification.
Secondly, the Regime would be completely demoralized, to the extent of being unable to even secretly mention the Reunification idea any longer. They might as well as loose the moral force to conduct any arrest of our massive celebrants in decorated T-Shirts, with the message of:
“1st October 2012, 51st Independence Day, Of Southern Cameroon’s”
We would have once more carried the day, especially by creating for the struggle a wider new psychological and diplomatic horizon hitherto unimagined.
The slim possibility to still show up
In estimating what the Yaounde authorities may or not do on 1st October 2012, we must not forget that we are dealing with an unpredictable Regime which, in-spite of the above trend, can on the spur of the moment and without any prior preparation, still improvise the celebration of their Reunification dream.
Yet, that would not deprive us from winning. The Regime would only be further embarrassed, because their President would find himself making a speech on Reunification, while thousands of us are gathered at the same venue and simultaneously declaring the entirely different message of indisputable independence.
Worse still, media correspondents from the major international networks, equipped with UN documentary evidence, which we would have furnished in advance, would be on hand to confirm that the date in 1961 marked the UN – approved independence for the Southern Cameroons.
 They might not spare confronting Mr. Biya personally or his closest Senior Aids, to clarify which is which – a Reunification or Independence. Once the Head of State is unable to answer, we would have won over the International Media, which would henceforth carry on the broader World-wide campaign for us.
Exposing the mismatch of Reunification to the string0 of unrelated historical dates of 1st January 1960, 1st October 1961, and 20th May 1972, is a duty we must accomplish, in order to portray the Regime as truly the unsurpassed World class inventor of human history. Indeed, Mr. Biya would have unconsciously placed himself in the adverse position to have to tell the world himself our own just side of the story.
There is, off course, the possibility that the frustration could cause the Regime to order our immediate arrest and torture, which should not frighten and deter our resolve. The regime would have flown from frying pan to fire, by instead increasing their problems. How disgraceful it is for a professed democratic Government to arrest a peaceful person under diplomatic view, who’s only presumed offence is for rightfully claiming their independence day at the occasion organized by the very Government.
A face – saving exit
In the circumstance, the Regime has only one honorable way out of the quagmire, which is by the outright recognition of 1st October as the Independence Day of Southern Cameroons. The option is easier, since the 1st January has already been commemorated twice as the corresponding independence date of the Republic of Cameroon.
The choice of such an option would imply the symbolic transferring back of the state of Southern Cameroons to the UN, for crowning with her delayed Sovereignty. Hopefully, the renovations being undertaken in Buea, of only the Prime Minister’s Lodge, the Mountain and Parliamentarian Hotels, of all that was supposed to be done for the event, is preparation to hand over just what was available in 1961.
In such an eventuality, the Francophone Republic, by being the primary actor, could at the close of 1st October 2012, be the first winner, while the Southern Cameroons would only be the second, by being the beneficiary.
Conclusion
There is no worthy advantage in the usual maneuvers to continue maintaining the annexation of Southern Cameroons.  It is impossible for an independent country to annex another, whom the two Cameroons are, and ironically both Ex-UN trust territories.
Bearing this in mind and the fact that there is no scientific mechanism under the sun by which two separately independent Countries can be fused into a “Unitary State” and justified by a nebulous Reunification, this 51st Independence Anniversary on 1st October 2012 offers a golden opportunity for the two Cameroons to proudly embrace the truth, in order to resolved their painful half a Century problem
Done in Bamenda this 10th Day of August 2012.
Long Live the SCNC and the other Liberation Movements
Long Live the Right to Self-determination
Long Live the would-be Separate Sovereign State of Southern Cameroons. The 1st of October 2012 offers a gigantic opportunity to the people of Southern Cameroons. If under the joint leadership of the liberation movements, our people massively attend the looming 51st Anniversary celebration and in the proper attire of independence T-shirt, this year’s celebration holds the potential to give our struggle the greatest single forward thrust ever, because no matter what might happen, we are bound to emerge victorious.
