The Advocate General at the Supreme Court and President of the Popular Action Party, PAP and Chief Justice Ayah Paul Abine has reiterated that he has always acted within the ambit of the law and will forever do so.
In an outing through his Facebook page early Wednesday, May 10, 2017 Justice Ayah said despite his incarceration, he has remained steadfast but is still waiting to be told what his crimes were.
Ayah Paul writes,
“As I commemorate over 110 days under illegal detention at SED (in complete ignorance of why I am here; for I am yet to be told what my crimes are) following my abduction from my residence at biyem-Assi Yaounde, I have a word for all Cameroonians who care ”MY MORALE IS EXCEEDINGLY HIGH! FOR I AM AT PEACE WITH MYSELF AND WHOLLY SATISFIED THAT I HAVE FOUGHT (AS I KEEP FIGHTING) A GOOD FIGHT; WITH INTEGRITY, IN ALL HONESTY, IN TRUTH, AND ABOVE ALL, WITHIN THE LAW. AND SO ONWARD I MARCH AND SHALL SO DO TILL THE END; WITH INSPIRATION FROM THE HOLY SCRIPTURES THAT; Whoever Holds on till the end shall be saved’”’ The Most High God has a Divine mission for me. Therefore, I shall not die unless HE so permits. I shall live; to accomplish it and to tell of the goodness of the Most High God in the land of the Living. I have always acted within the law and shall forever so do MAY PEACE REIGN IN AND AROUND YOU ALL. GOD BLESS

I have never been dumbfounded, bemused,shocked and stupefied like yesterday,the 10th of May 2017. When the Minister of Secondary Education declared that for the first time in history, unregistered candidates of an Examination could write without registration,it marked the beginning of absurdity. How shall these scripts be marked and how shall their results registered when they don't have any serial number that makes unpublished results confidential? Has the Minister any plan B for those students whose fate awaits them come next academic year because they have to stay put thus mounting pressure on class capacity? This is because these students have not been studying and therefore the GCE shall not be written next academic year because of the vacuum that the stake holders refused to acknowledge existed?
Solutions to every problem can only surface when a very indept analysis and synthesis of the root cause had been discovered and uncovered.
A civil Engineer will tell you that when the very foundation of a structure has cracks, it definitely will be stupidity for the owner to change but the roof the house and a new coat of paint added to the dilapidated structure.
Consciously the issues affecting the Anglos-axon Educational system must be remedied and curricula that is purely theirs allowed entirely in their hands.
Syncretism is what is ruining this Country called the Cameroon's because kerosene and oil can never blend.
The GCE Board stands as the loser should any Examination be conducted this year because its credibility stands a high risk being ruined for life.
No examination board worth the salt can forget and forfeit its future because of the presence.
The GCE Board was not given to the Anglophones on a platter of gold,rather it was and is a child of the Anglophone resistance.
This history of the GCE Board should ring a warning bell on the ears of those who today are reaping where they never sowed. They must remember that lives were lost in that struggle, people were maimed and eyes lost because of the veracious attacks launched on Anglophones by the state Gendarmes using water cannons, hand grenades and Toxic tear-gas. Today those whose duty is to jealously protect the future of the young Anglophobe students have agreed to put it to jeopardy. What an inferno and what a disgrace. History shall be our judge and shall either nail us to the cross of humiliation,disgrace and Shame or venerate us if we shall have clean hands.

A shameless policeman last week demonstrated the flagrant hatred the Francophone regime in Yaounde, Cameroon, nurses for Anglophone Cameroonians by driving out a young girl who had gone to deposit her application for a passport.
The Francophone policeman wasted little time and minced no words in demonstrating his contempt for anything that looked and sounded English.
With unrestrained xenophobic arrogance and racist discrimination, he flung the application documents in the face of the Journalism and Mass Communication graduate from the University of Buea and told the upset girl never to go back to Yaounde with her application.
“I have marked your face,” the policemen told Hilda, “if I ever see you here again, I have you arrested and detained.”
The policeman further told Hilda, “You Anglophones are very big-headed; you like making trouble, so go back to where you came from. Don’t ever come back here !”
Hilda, though nervous, plucked courage and asked the police officer what crime she had committed and the man responded by throwing Hilda’s file at her.
“Don’t you understand? I said get out of my office!” was the officer’s rude reaction.
What Hilda learnt from the unsolicited outrage is that Cameroon, indeed, is not one and indivisible. In any case, her crime was speaking English in Yaounde and also having certified her documents in Buea.
Recorded history in Biya’s Cameroon has it that Anglophone Cameroonians have been conditioned by the Francophone government to accept force and terror whenever they make powerful demands with some success.
In their fanatical hunger to continue enslaving Anglophones, the Francophone regime has, in a tragic prediction of the future of the country, refused all significant negotiations with the clamouring minority Anglophones and persisted in offering too little too late in the way of concessions.

Southern Cameroons Ambazonia Consortium United Front (SCACUF) has retained a US law firm, Foley Hoag LLPP, to sue La Républiuque for the illegal occupation of Southern Cameroons territory.
The historic signing done in Boston recently was championed by Southern Cameroonians in the USA and the rest of the diaspora who are concerned with the future of the restoration of their statehood and complete independence from the shackles of the Francophone-led regime in Cameroon.
SCACUF aims to rally all Southern Cameroonians to fight and secure a free and more democratic state of Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia) than the present dog-eat-dog arrangement headed by President Paul Biya.
“Therefore, SCACUF calls on all Southern Cameroonians (Ambazonians) to join ranks so we can, together, begin establishing the foundations for a new beginning in a self-governing homeland with institutions grounded in the enduring principles of accountability, transparency, equality, and in the values of social justice and economic freedom,” states a statement released soon after the Boston signing.
SCACUF, also referred to as the UNITED FRONT, wishes to lead all Southern Cameroonians to an independent, sovereign state called Ambazonia with its own government, constitution, defence forces, economy and culture.

The government of Cameroon has arrested cable network distributors in the North West Region. The men were arrested in Ndop, Ngoketunjia Division, for making SCBC Channel available for people to watch.
Monday’s action is a one in a line of crackdown measures by the government in Yaounde to silence the people of Southern Cameroon.
Previously, the people of West Cameroon suffered an internet blackout which spanned more than ninety days. Much pressure came to bear and Yaounde loosened its grip on the internet on the eve of the start of All University Games in Bamenda.
Recently the National Communication Council came out to teach media persons about what to report in the light of the unrest in Southern Cameroons. The media was warned against talking about federalism or secession, which are among the demands tabled by some of the people on strike.
Some newspapers, especially Anglophone papers, have been threatened with pending sanctions by the same council for treating the Anglophone Problem in different manner, other than what the central government expects.
A couple of Southern Cameroonian journalists are detained in Yaoundé, particularly in connection with the unrest. They include Amos Fofung, Thomas Awah Junior, Mfor Ndong, Hans Achumba, Tim Finnan,Medjo Lewis and Jean Claude Agbortem.

Cote d’Ivoire’s Minister of State in charge of Political Dialogue and Relations with Institutions is in Cameroon to tap from the experience of the Senate in Cameroon.
Mr Jeannot Ahoussou Kouadio was received in audience on Monday by the president of Cameroon’s upper house of parliament, the Senate.
The special envoy from the president of Ivory Coast, Alassane Ouattara, is in Cameroon to copy the experience of the four-year-old Cameroon’s Senate in order to help build Ivory Coast’s baby senate.
Mr Kouadio’s stay in Cameroon ends on Wednesday.
Speaking after the audience with Marcel Niat, Mr Kouadia said the information gathered would help his country’s new chamber of parliament enormously.
“We are going to work, deeply work. We are very delighted to be in Cameroon,” Mr Kouadio disclosed his commitment to work with Cameroon.
Ivory Coast voted in a referendum last year to create an upper chamber of parliament alongside the post of vice-president.
The Senate went operational in Cameroon in 2013.
