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
