Friday, 25th November Protest At Cameroun Embassy Brussels, 10am Avenue Brugmann 131, 1190 Brussels, Belgium

This is our moment. Distance has never been a barrier. Our lawyers have been downgraded, beaten and their dignity taken away from them. An attack on the lawyers is an attack on the legal system. As Anglophones, we must protect our legal system. Our legal and Educational system are under attack.

We are calling on all Cameroonians and most especially Anglophones to join us to protest and send a message to Paul Biya that we shall not support any attack on Anglophone Cameroon. Lawyers and teachers are currently striking and the only solution that will solve the plethora of problems raised is a return to Federation, therefore, let us come out to add our voices and tell the Cameroun Ambassador to Belgium and the European Union to transmit to Paul Biya that we need now a Federation that will protect the bi-jural and bi-educational nature of the Country. Let us do this for our country.

A simple banner to print and they still get it all wrong with the spelling. Probably printed in Yaounde and Douala, and transported to Limbe to be imposed on Anglophone Cameroonians.

The whole team appointed by the Yaounde regime was unable to see this mistake.Most probably, there is surely no English speaking indivual amongst them.They boldly printed banners, transported the banners , erected them in Limbe with no one noticing the grave spelling error of AFCON.So AFCON has become ACON?

There are officials from AFCON, Fifa and representatives of other Countries expected to attend the championship in Limbe.

The Women's African Cup of Nations football tournament, AFCON, begins in Cameroon on November 19, 2016, with the host cities being Yaounde and Limbe.
