We, the youths and southwesterners of the middle class, have from time
immemorial welcomed, lived with, and tolerated the excesses of northwesterners
in our land. We have given them jobs, land to cultivate and build on, taking
them as our brothers, sisters and fellow compatriots.
To our greatest dismay, we have noticed that northwesterners are a very
cunning people, they are tribalistic, greedy, egocentric, aggressive, violent,
destructive and ungrateful. Their only interest is to see the southwesterner
extinguished from the surface of the earth.
Northwesterners have taken our hospitality for stupidity and our leniency
for weakness. They have built churches, banks, schools, and other personal
structures which we southwesterners have promoted without bias. They occupy
important positions in both public and private structures in the South West,
yet we have never complained. They make up more than 60% of the population in
the second largest employer after the state (the CDC). We even allowed them
become councilors in our local councils and quarter heads / block heads in our
traditional councils and villages.
Recently, they came up with a blood sucking cult called ambazonia, in which
they claim to want to secede from French speaking Cameroon, together with us of
the South West. They succeeded to brainwash some southwesterners to join in
this occultism. Following the orders of their leaders who reside abroad, they
have succeeded in crippling the economy of the South West Region. PAMOL is
shutdown and CDC is barely creeping on four weak limbs. They kidnap, ask for
ransom, torture and KILL our people, including our Chiefs. Both private and
public edifices in our region have been burnt down by this ambazonian cult.
Fear and terror looms and insecurity has become the order of the day in our one
time vibrant South West Region.
We, the youths and southwesterners of the middle class, hereby dissociate
ourselves from this diabolic cult created by northwesterners, which we have
come to realize, is their plan to take over our region completely, a plan they
have been nursing for several years.
Pursuant to the above and many other reasons, we the youths and
southwesterners of the middle class resolve as follows:
1.) We are coastal people of Cameroon and not Anglophones as such. English
Language is just a borrowed robe or second language we inherited from our
colonial master, hence we have no cultural umbilical cord with northwesterners.
2.) No councilor in any of our councils shall henceforth come from the
North West Region.
3.) South West land does not belong to any individual to be traded and sold
to whoever, for whatever reason, and whenever.
4.) Henceforth, no quarter or block in the South West shall be headed by a
northwesterner.
5.) Land with specific traditional or cultural significance occupied by a
northwesterner shall be reclaimed by the traditional council concerned.
6.) All burnt land and fraudulently acquired pieces of land belonging to
any northwesterner shall be retrieved.
7.) Henceforth, there shall be no construction of new structures by any
northwesterner in our land for whatever reason.
8.) If government wishes to rebuild burnt structures belonging to any
northwesterner, this should be done in the North West Region.
9.) Churches (especially Catholic, Presbyterian and Baptist) and schools,
noted for discrimination and dominated in management by northwesterners shall
be disinfected of intruders. Thus, the South West Region will have to manage
its own churches and schools.
10.) The South West Region is blessed with intellectuals of high standard,
therefore, the University of Buea (the birth place of the radical ideology of
northwesterners), shall be completely left in the hands of southwesterners.
Northwesterners should go and manage the University of Bamenda.
11) Those wishing to contest in the municipal and parliamentary elections
shall do so in their regions of origin, not in the South West.
12) Service heads and top school management posts in the South West Region
shall be held by southwesterners, be it at the regional or divisional level,
private or public.
13.) “Mixed blood” (South West / North West) and southwesterners married to
northwesterners shall have very slim chances to contest in all elections in the
South West Region.
14.) South West chiefs are enjoined to unanimously come up with a
traditional law that all land to be sold or resold need the approval of the
concerned traditional council.
15.) Each clan shall have a traditional council devoid of northwesterners,
and made up of noble men with good reputation to give recommendations where
necessary.
16.) All forest reserves like The Southern Bakundu Forest Reserve, The
Bomboko Forest Reserve, The Meme Forest Reserve and other forest reserves not
mentioned here but are found in the South West Region, occupied by
northwesterners should be liberated with immediate effect.
17.) All traditional halls bearing North West names in the South West
Region should disappear.
18.) Any northwesterner found guilty of a past
crime with the intention to destroy the South West Region shall be charged
to court and later banished.
19.) All witchdoctors of North West descent shall be ostracized from the
South West Region.
20.) Priority shall be given to southwesterners in case of recruitment in
structures found in the South West Region.
21.) All banking institutions including Credit Unions bearing names from
the North West should disappear from the South West Region.
22.) The government should transfer civil servants of South West origin
from the North West to the South West and vice versa.
23) Northwesterners working in the South West Region should not hold top
positions of responsibility in the public sector as well as the private sectors
based in the South West Region.
We want to use this opportunity to emphasis here that, the people of the
South West Region heartily embrace those of other regions, (excluding
troublemakers from the North West Region), with whom we have been living in
peace and harmony for long. We equally call on our brainwashed brothers of the
South West Region to come back to reason so we can together rebuild our
prestigious South West Region.
Finally, we entreat the government to consider implementing the sections of
this open letter which directly concern the state. Southwesterners have been
patient enough. If nothing is done, we may resort to the same method
northwesterners are using to implement their xenophobia on other Cameroonians.
THE SOUTH WEST REGION MUST BE FREE
God being our helper
God being our helper
