Cameroon Anglophone Crisis: Francophones civil society(AFP) backs consortium, supports federalism

The Alliance of Progressive Forces (AFP) says "Yes to federalism as a mode of administration"
In an open letter signed by President Alice Sadio, the Alliance of Progressive Forces (AFP) has called on the government of Cameroon to listen to the voices of its citizens! We do not govern against the people, but with the people and for the people. "

The entire AFP position:

The Northwest and Southwest Regions have been disconnected from the rest of the country and the world for some time. In a dictatorial system such as ours where most private media are compelled to use the minimum service, the Internet remains the most effective means of information and a guarantee of transparency. The AFP by my voice, urges the CPDM regime, to comeback to their senses by having in mind the principle according to which: the State is us all! We do not govern against the people, but with the people and for the people. 

 In Cameroon as elsewhere, social networks have played a remarkable role of counter-power, which has made it possible to expose and curb the abuses of dictatorships. AFP is particularly concerned about this suspension of the Internet in the protesting regions of Cameroon (North-West and South-West). It is only behind closed doors, in darkness that the worst atrocities have perpetrated in the history of humanity, we fear for the security and the rights of the Cameroonian citizens living in these areas. The right to information is one of the fundamental rights of EVERY citizen. No one can deprive him or her of it without interfering with Democracy.

There is an Anglophone crisis in Cameroon

Leaders that you were yesterday in talks with, have now been relegated to the rank of "maquisards" ... You changed tactics and now embark on abduction and intimidation! And yet, we know that mutual respect, intellectual honesty, taking into account the fundamental concerns of the stakeholders ... are the prerequisite for any constructive dialogue! Indeed, as we feared, it is rather the strategy of the suppression that is in progress regarding the crisis that prevails in the anglophone parts of Cameroon. When the Government embarks today on the inviolability of the Constitution to stigmatize the Anglophone Consortium and others, it forgets that no one has violated the Constitution as much as the CPDM dictatorship.

They have probably postulated that we Cameroonians are suffering from collective amnesia and thereby claiming to forget that the CPDM marched on the blood of Cameroonians in 2008 to modify the constitutional provisions in the interest of a single individual: Paul Biya. But when a community as representatives as that of two whole Regions show almost unanimity in the demand for the revision of the systemic pillars of the State, you take refuge behind this same Constitution, perpetually trampled under foot, implemented to a level of  less than 50%, to enact" outlaw "citizens whose only crime is to have the audacity to consider Another future for our children.

Who do you mock? It is clear to any common sense observer that in the management of the Republic, only the interests and priorities of the CPDM count.The position of AFP in the issue of the right to self-determination is indispensable as it should be in any democracy. Consequently, the tortures will do nothing, the people will eventually have the last word. Yes to federalism as a mode of administration. The number of federated states to be determined by referendum.
