Create a political party to contest in 2018 and bring the change you preach, return to advocacy with the United Nations or escape to the diaspora like others before you and pick up activism?
It’s over a week now since the venerated and former United Nations Legal adviser, Barrister Agbor “Balla” Felix Nkongho was released alongside over fifty-four other Anglophones who were detained at the Kondengui Principal and central prisons but his current and never-seen silence has cast doubts in the minds of Cameroonians about what he intends to do next.

The people of Beti in the Mfoundi Division of the Centre Region have written an open letter to Paul Biya demanding the release of their brothers and sisters detained mostly for the embezzlement of state money.
They want Biya to pardon their brothers as he did the Anglophone activists released recently from unlawful detention in Yaoundé.
The three-page letter is signed by a group which calls itself "the council of elders of Mfoundi, acting on behalf of the people".
The release of their brothers, to them, is one of the preconditions for 'real unity', given that "true unity cannot come without Mfoundi and the Centre Region".
If Anglophone activists who 'committed inconceivable sacrilege by burning the country's flag,' for instance, could be 'pardoned' then their brothers who have just sinned against their father like anyone else have the right ,too, they argue.
The letter doesn't limit itself to a comparative study of the Anglophone activists and the Beti 'embezzlers' but it also uses alot of flattery and praise singing to sweeten Biya's bitterness.
The elders use the fast-approaching 2018 elections to persuade Biya.
"Your Excellency, we are moving towards a very crucial electoral period for the future of our nation and that of your regime", they write.
The letter becomes more of a motion of support for Biya than a genuine demand.
They also see Biya as a saint, whose inspiration descends right from God.

Reports say all the students from Ambozonia crossing to La Republique for education will be rejected in Amba Land should they come back after the possible success of the struggle. This will be implemented upon presentation of evaluation documents like report cards, they say.
Most families in West Cameroon have decided to send their children to schools in La Republique where classes have resumed effectively for the new academic year.
West Cameroon on the other hand has vowed to keep schools as deserted as a graveyard at midnight.
