Politics

Cameroon's upper house of parliament is to be lodged at the premises of the Social and Economic Council in Yaoundé as early as the next ordinary session in March, Mutations newspaper has reported.

The Senate went operational in 2013. Previously the prestigious chamber of parliament was lodged at the Conference Centre. Later when renovation works began at the Conference Centre, the elitist institution was moved to the premises of the market regulation agency.

Cameroon's senate has been described by critics as a centre for old people, with the oldest member in his 90s. There are 100 senators, with 30 appointed by the head of state and the 70 others chosen by voters.

On Friday, January 19, 2018, the Spokesman for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR), William Spindler, informed the world of Africa’s latest humanitarian tragedy, the refugee crisis in Southwest Cameroon. Speaking at a press briefing held at the UN Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, Spindler told the world that more than ten thousand refugees(mostly women and children) had crossed the border from Cameroon to Nigeria and that “Thousands more are among the population of unregistered Cameroonians in neighbouring states.” The refugees are fleeing the murder, rape, abductions, torture and other atrocities of the army of Cameroon’s 84-year-old dictator, President Paul Biya, who has been in power for 35 years.
Spindler’s press conference will probably go down in history as the most ironical press conference of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, and of Switzerland. In effect, the humanitarian crisis the United Nations High Commission for Refugees was announcing to the world was masterminded and set in motion right under the nose of the UN, at the InterContinental Hotel in Geneva, Switzerland, a few blocks from the UN’s Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.

Facts
Here are the facts: On October 1st, 2017, the oppressed and marginalized English-speaking or Anglophone region of Cameroon (population, 8 million) declared symbolic independence from the Republic of Cameroon after 56 years of marginalization, second-class citizenship and political repression. This was a desperate measure taken in response to President Paul Biya’s refusal to entertain calls for dialogue or change from striking lawyers, teachers, students and other civil society groups from the oppressed English-speaking community. Biya swiftly shut down the Internet, arrested, tortured, and jailed civilian lawyers, teacher, and students, and charged them at the Yaoundé military Tribunal, on trumped up offenses that carry the death penalty. Biya’s 35 years in power are marked by intransigence, inflexibility, and the elimination of political opponents.

Enter the Swiss Irony

It so happened that on that fateful day of the Anglophone symbolic declaration of independence in Cameroon, (October 1, 2017), President Paul Biya was staying at his favorite European resort, the InterContinental Hotel, 7-9 Chemin du Petit-Saconnex, Geneva, Switzerland. That is a stone’s throw from the United Nations Palais des Nations in Geneva. From the luxurious trappings of his Swiss presidential chalet, Biya ordered a bloody crackdown on unarmed civilian protesters in the English-speaking region of Cameroon.

Intercepted Military Logs from Cameroon

An intercepted and leaked military report sent to Biya in Geneva, Switzerland described how civilians were shot, and how helicopter gunships were used to fire fragmentation grenades on other unarmed civilians. The military report read in part:
[01/10 à 16:33] +237 99104845: Survol à basse altitude et largage des grenades F4 à partir des hélicos
Translation
[01/10 à 16:33] +237 99104845: Low altitude flight by helicopter gunships and dropping of F4 grenades [on unarmed civilians] from helicopters
(The telephone code: 237 is the country code for Cameroon. The rest is the military number from which the reports were sent to Biya in Switzerland).

Needless to say, hundreds of civilians were killed and buried in mass graves. That deadly helicopter and ground attack against civilians was the beginning of the refugee crisis in Cameroon that Mr. William Spindler, the Spokesman for the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) spoke about. Biya stayed in Switzerland until October 21, 2017, a period when scores of people were killed and thousands of refugees fled to Nigeria. The situation has worsened as a fledgling insurgency has killed soldiers and gendarmes in retaliation.

The question is whether the Swiss government, the European Union, and the United Nations knew about this humanitarian crisis BEFORE it began. The answer is affirmative. While the massacres were going on, a collective of English-speaking Cameroonians in the Diaspora wrote to the government of Switzerland, informing it that human rights violations were being planned and masterminded from its national territory. The European Union and the European Commissioner for Refugees was also informed, as were the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank. The InterContinental Hotel and the major Swiss newspapers were copied on these correspondences. All efforts to warn the media and the international community about this unfolding humanitarian tragedy fell mostly on deaf ears. To their credit, Reuters, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and Le Monde (France) published stories about the tragedy.

Swiss Government Response

When the Swiss government was alerted to the fact that President Biya was masterminding human rights violations and crimes against humanity from the InterContinental Hotel in Geneva, Switzerland (he stayed there roughly from September 25-October 21), a Swiss government official, Ambassador Anne Lugon-Moulin, Head of the Sub-Saharan Africa and Francophone Division of the Swiss Federal Department of Foreign Affairs, acknowledged in a letter to Cameroon Anglophones that President Biya did indeed have lengthy stays in Geneva, Switzerland on private and official business. She did not deny that he and his entourage were in Geneva during the period of the massacres. There are reports that Biya is heading back to Switzerland for another long stay, as refugees from his country head to Nigeria. The question is whether the Swiss government, which is a self-described champion of human rights, will continue to allow the dictator, who undoubtedly represents lucrative business for InterContinental Hotel and Swiss banks, to spend long periods of time in Switzerland, while he orders his soldiers and henchmen to transform Cameroon into a hellhole.

Marafa Ahmidou Yaya in a French speaking tabloid called for an alternation as the way forward in resolving this present sociopolitical impasse in Cameroon. Marafa Ahmidou Yaya, the one time second in command to Paul Biya, openly calls for alternating format of governance, so that the nation can appreciate an immense electoral year.

The former Minister of State for Territorial Administration and Decentralization called upon his compatriots to seize this golden opportunity offered by this year's Presidential elections. " I am inviting you on the contrary to have this opportunity and chance. The chance to make 2018, an important year for Cameroon.

An important year after many decades of wasted immobility and denouncements. It shouldn't be a year for the settlement of scores with the present regime. On the contrary, let us systematically put aside all democratic alternatives. It shall be a new era and a remarkable occasion for our Country" as written by Marafa Ahmidou Yaya on a French tabloid published on Thursday. Marafa Ahmidou Yaya the architect of the ugly system as the former Secretary General at the Presidency of the Republic of Cameroon.

The architect of the system condemns in very unequivocal terms the present sociopolitical climate in the North West and South West Regions of Cameroon since a year ago. Marafa Ahmidou Yaya equally regrets the trend of corruption that presently is so common in Cameroon.

It's regrettable that Cameroon now has an poverty rate that affects close to eight million Cameroonians.Of equal worry is the 50% unemployment rate in a country so abundantly blessed with human capital and natural resources. For recalculation, Marafa Ahmidou Yaya, a former dignitary of the present regime, was arrested in April 2012 and subsequently judged in September of the same year. He was slammed a twenty years imprisonment term at the Secretariat of State Defence, the headquarters of the Gendarmerie.

The new American ambassador to Cameroon has begun a campaign to encourage students in Cameroon to participate in upcoming elections. Cameroon will organise general and presidential elections later this year.

The US diplomate began the campaign on Wednesday at the University of Yaoundé I.

According to media reports, Peter Barlerin said the objective of the campaign was to "support democracy". It's reported that about 300 students got their names on electoral lists at the end of the day.

Peter Barlerin is said to have invited a band from his country to entertain the crowd. Ruben Binam -Kemit 7[Cameroon{ and Camille Thurman and Darrell Green Trio[US] fed the people with music.

Some people have lauded the initiative which they believe is a way to have young people overthrow the 84-year-old . But other views hold that Mr Biya is colluding with the ambassador to work things the other way round.

Ambazonians world wide should not fold their arms and sit down comfortably, because from what i know through my system, PAUL BIYA AND Nigerian President M. BUHARI had a telephone negotiation about the extradition of Ambazonian leaders who were kidnapped in Nigeria on the 5th of January 2018.
We know that it was an intense discussion between the two leaders. On the 16th of January 2018 in two different occassions Paul Biya called the president of Nigeria by telephone.
We also know that in principle, France is also behind and putting pressure on Mr. Buhari to extradite Ambazonian leaders to Cameroun.
We also know that, Buhari will respond to Paul Biya tomorrow by telephone, and as from what we disposed now signs are that Buhari has accepted to extradite our leaders by Monday or tuesday next week,but the Americans have asked Buhari not to extradite the Ambazonian leaders to Cameroun.

We also know that 39 anglophones were arrested in Tabara state in nigeria on the 4th of January 2018.From our inside analysis, the 39 anglophones who were arrested in Tabara state in Nigeria are those Cameroun military men who defected into nigeria.We now know that Cameroun and Nigerian government are using these men who were sent by cameroun government and military with the consent of the Nigerian government to accuse the Ambazonian IP and his cabinet members of sponsoring terrorism and setting military training camps in Nigeria.Read my article on this page "cameroon special forces operating inside Nigeria December 4th 2018", to recall the first telephone coversation between Paul Biya and Buhari which took place on December 2,2018.
We need prayers here and GOD intervention urgently.

Also we now know that barrister Akere Muna is the French candidate chosen to replace Paul Biya.We also know that Mr. Paul Biya will not run again for presidential election because his masters have asked him to step down.

So what does this mean to Ambazonians?

There are many implications to this for Ambazonia and Ambazonians.
All are directly linked to the "slavery pact" signed by Ahidjo and Paul Biya called "Pacte de cooperation".
If you look at things very closely, you will recognise that Ambazonia and Ambazonian people are not part of that evil pacte de cooperation.

So why is France very interested to extradite our leaders to Cameroun?
Both Cameroun and France are very affraid of this present Anglophone leadership because our leaders are fighting for the total independence of Ambazonia, which if gotten will affect the lives of Camerounians and the French negatively.

secondly, France is putting barrister Akere Muna to protect their interest just as it has always been in Francophone Africa. By making an Ambazonian president France is aiming to achive two goals:

Goal number one, France will make barrister Akere Muna to sign the pacte de cooperation thus commiting the whole of Ambazonia. That is to force and without the consent of the Ambazonia people, barrister Akere Muna will be selling Ambazonia to the French and Ambazonia will no longer say they have never signed Pacte de coopération with France. Akere Muna must be sanctioned now; its the time or we shall regret through out our lives and those of our children.

Goal number two, France is forcing the extradition of the Ambazonian leadership because france want to force them while in prison to accept the terms of France or they will be killed.

What is the way forward from now onward?

Its time to sanction ALL traitors starting with barrister Akere Muna.

History has shown us from many countries in Asia how they drove out the colonial master for good. The Asian people were consolidated into many arm groups, and were carrying guerria war tactics, killing any one that was supporting the colonial agenda including their own people.

This is the type of hard decision we all have to make. For the immediate term we all should search our feelings and our mind. There should be verious groups mixed with our people from all our two regions and tribes. When the Asian countries won against colonialists, they had no people abroad to give them money or weapons.
But France has learned from that lesson, that is why we see Cameroun government and military restricting the movement of Ambazonians between and within our regions.

One thing Ambazonians must learn is that GOD will never come down to fight for us, but when we are committed and fighting a just fight GOD will always support us to win. Its up to us now.

The Southern Cameroons has a sad history of inconclusive “decolonization”;

 There has never been a proper, and thus definitive ending of the United Nations Organization –British Trusteeship over British Southern Cameroons;

 The Foumban Constitutional Talks aimed at establishing the frame Work for the “joining” of the emergent State of Southern Cameroons to the “nominally” independent State of La République du CameroUn was suspended for continuation that has never happened;

 From September 30, 1961, notwithstanding the results of the February 11, 1961 Plebiscite on British Southern Cameroons’ pathway to independence as consecrated in UN Resolution 1608 (XV) with clear mandatory guidelines for its implementation, the French CameroUn Republic aided by the British Ambassador to that country, overran Southern Cameroons and have since then brought the territory under yet another colonization;

 The above re-colonization has been consistently resisted under scourging oppression until early October 2016 when led by the Southern Cameroons Lawyers (Common Law Lawyers), not only the resistance was reignited but the reignition quickly consumed the entire country of Southern Cameroons standing up resolutely and definitively against their further colonization;

 The Southern Cameroons restorative revolution has rapidly progressed to involve beyond the Southern Cameroons national territory to include the entirety of the Southern Cameroons Diaspora world-wide;

 Last month saw the birth of an Interim Government of Southern Cameroons now renamed Ambazonia;

 Southern Cameroons has since the decision to stand up for her independence, been subjected to an initially smoldering genocide which has now gone full scale;

 In the face of all these developments the world has shamefully turned a blind eye to that part of humanity called Southern Cameroonians;

 The worst occurred on Friday January 5, 2018 when like a Franco-British conspiracy that frustrated the accession of Southern Cameroons to independence on September 30, 1961, this time around La République du Cameroun connived and colluded with the Government of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to abduct the Interim President of Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia) and to this moment, whether or not they are alive or their wBRIEF NOTE ON SOUTHERN CAMEROONS-AMBAZONIA
