Southern Cameroons: SCACUF calls on Women to step in the gap

We know of Esther in the bible who stood in there for her people who were to be wiped out by the enemy. She called on her people to fast and pray as she prepared to meet the king. We know the results; she was victorious. Delilah cajoled Samson to tell him the secret behind his strength; of course he did and he was destroyed. Winnie Mandela led the South African women against apartheid and positive results were achieved. What about the women in Liberia? They rose up against oppression and the result was favourable.

Talk about Rosa Parks in America; it was a "one woman show", and today her iconic defiance in the face of adversity has inspired many women worldwide to stand up and champion the fight against all sorts of oppression thereby bringing into fruition, the much needed aspiration of "feminine" role models especially for young girls. A typical example is the First Minister of Scotland; Nicola Sturgeon; who against all odds is still fighting strong for Scotland to leave the United Kingdom albeit an unsuccessful referendum that she vehemently campaigned for a few years ago.

Another fascinating example is the State Counsellor, (PM) of Myanmar; Aung San Suu Kyi, who after 15 years under house arrest, for opposing the government against corruption came out, muster her people behind her, and won a landslide 86% majority seats in the country's Assembly of the Union elections in 2015. She has inspired the whole nation; both men and women to stand firm against tyranny and in 1991 she gained a much deserved international recognition by winning the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo, Norway.

I know the Ambazonian women are powerful and prayerful. Let us increase the pumping of the bellows so the flame could be hotter. Our enemies have no power because our sovereign and all-powerful God controls the universe and that includes our enemy; La Republic. They cannot frustrate God's good plan or his promised protection and victory.
