Anglophone Crises-Cameroon: Concerned US citizen writes an open letter to President Paul Biya

Dear President Biya,
I take this opportunity to write this letter concerning the ongoing situation in Cameroon, which I am deeply convinced is unnecessary, disruptive, and, which I believe is an insult to progress.  I also believe it should be stopped and abandoned within a reasonable time under reasonable circumstances.

 First of all, I find it very difficult to believe that the people in West Cameroon are being alienated from the rest of the world because they are Anglophones, and that they do not have access to basic amenities such as mobile phone service, and the internet.  My question is: Are you discriminating against English speakers in Cameroon alone, or across the globe as well? This is not good!

I apologize if I am wrong, but, is it a crime to speak English in Africa, or Cameroon? Does the English-speaking citizens of Cameroon have to purchase a license to use the internet or mobile phones? If so, why, Mr. President? Are you aware that these current restrictions are antithetical?

Secondly, I speak on behalf of the millions who have no voice in matters of government in your country, because I think that since you have started your military campaign to debase and intimidate certain groups, you have literally silenced many in their ability to communicate with the rest of the world.
 
 In saying this, I think that many would agree that it is a sad thing when someone cannot communicate with his own people, Mr. President.  It becomes more critical when you cannot be heard by your own people, news media, and government, in the country of your birth and nationality! 

Thirdly, I am fearful for the lives of many, particularly of those who have become victims of rape, physical violence and blatant insults from members of the armed forces! I am also fearful for the peacemakers among you who strive to make this world a better place for everyone in their path.
 
The question remains as to why people who live in the greatest continent on planet Earth are being guided by hate, prejudice and ethnic bias and mistrust towards each other?  Are we seeing a new version of Apartheid on the African continent? Is this a transformation process toward progress, or, is it a regime of strife?

Mr. President, just recently, an English speaking representative of West Cameroon voiced his concerns in Parliament about the public wrongs he witnessed first-hand.  What public offence would a pregnant woman in Cameroon do that would subject her to such physical violence that she should have a miscarriage?  

This is a total disrespect of life and the perpetrators should be swiftly brought to justice. Why are elected public officials being threatened by armed forces for speaking out for their rights? Have you forgotten what government is all about in Cameroon?

Finally, Mr. President, if the people of Cameroon take to the streets to protest for their freedom, they have every right to do so without insult from their government. Are they not sons and daughters of the soil just like those who do so in other parts of Africa?
Mr. President, your people are the greatest and most important resource in your nation. They should not be ruled by fear, divisiveness, or political violence. Remember, a father or a mother should not discriminate between their children.

I hope and pray that you take my words to heart for the sake of many whose lives and livelihood are at stake.
