Neba-Fuh
There is one thing that is as sure as death- retribution-The reward or punishment we receive or experience for what we did or didn't do. The headstrong decision to ignore the people's will and renew as well as legalize a totalitarian regime in Cameroon is the last straw that broke the camel's back. Biya and his cohorts have invited the people's wrath on them. His wish to rule till death(Article 6(2)) with the hope of escaping punishment (Article 53(3)even in satan's heaven will only be an interlude of bliss in his perpetual nightmare.
Is it not in this generation that we saw Samuel Doe of Liberia being paraded naked in the streets of Monrovia? Is it not in this generation that his successor Charles Taylor was whisked away in handcuffs and is being tried for crimes he committed against his people? What about the Idi Amins, the Bokassas,the Sadams etc? Just like all dictators, they paid their prices. How dare he minimizes History.
The adoption of the bill in Parliament and its immediate aftermath look rosy. The trigger-happy military have been deployed to rest the case on the innocent population, but rest assured that, the courage of true patriots surpasses the fear of the bullet of a gun. The time will come when the people will get hold of their nation and punish all those unpatriotic cowards joking with their destiny.
Southern
Cameroonians are following up the recent constitutional manipulation in
Cameroun with a lot of resentment. Resentment because they are the
people who have suffered the most repression from the Biya regime. A
regime that has never publicly acknowledged the Southern Cameroons
problem. The group of Southern Cameroonians that has always advocated
the non-involvement in la Repubique du Cameroun's Politics are
vindicating themselves, emphasizing that they made a better judgement
of not participating in the dirty politics of La Republique. The other
school of thought was that by getting involved in La Republique' s
politics and participating in all necessary venture to oust Biya
and his regime, there will be hope that regime change will usher in a
new bloodless approach to the Southern Cameroon's case and its
restoration.
Without
emphasizing the merits and demerits of both approaches, the fact today
is that we know the reality of what direction La Republique is heading
to.
The recent desperation expressed following the recent
manipulation of la Republique's constitution provides the framework
on which we can rally all those Southern Cameroonians who have been
sitting on the fence concerning this cause. A lot of Southern
Cameroonians in the SDF are desperate and are giving up on their
personal ambitions to get accepted in a system alien to them. The
lamentation of the Chairman of the SDF, Ni Fru Ndi on the sidelining
and targeting of Southern Cameroonians by the Biya regime is worth
noting. In an article published in The Post( Monday 07 April 2008), it
was reported that: ' Fru
Ndi would not understand why every bad thing is attributed to the
Northwest; "kidnappers are from here, Fru Ndi is spotted with a
criminal in his car, rioters too were intercepted at Kekem from Bamenda
on their way to Yaounde to burn places.'
Without doubt,
Fru Ndi 'understands why every bad thing is attributed to the
Northwest' -(Northern Zone of Southern Cameroons). He knows how a
typical Southern Cameroonian is viewed by the regime of la Republique,
but because of his political alignment, he doesn't highlight it. But the truth is that time is
catching up on the fence sitters. The stakes are high. Those who
thought we are part of the house should remember the infamous words
top ranking officials from la Republique have often addressed Southern
Cameroonians-'Vous, les Nigeriens'
We seem to belong but we don't. Even
when they invite us, they treat us with suspicion. They look low on us
even when a large part of the billions they have embezzled came from
natural resources from our back yards. They 'placate' us with the post
of a Prime Minister and later appoint a Secretary in their Disunity
Palace, who can scold our 'Prime Minister-Head of Government'. What a
shame!
This is the time for every
true Southern Cameroonian to reassess the situation of the moment and
decide whether we are doomed to remain sub humans and persevere under
the whims and caprices of La Republique or we have the right to fight using whatever means possible to restore our dignity, so that people like
Fru Ndi can enjoy free and fair elections in an independent state of
Southern Cameroon and live their dream of being a head of state of a
nation. The question is: will the Southern Cameroonian folks of the SDF and other parties
come home to join the fight?
Dr, I love the wordings. Keep on Sir.
