Southern Cameroons

The president of Anglophone teachers association has today issued a press statement praising God for the effectiveness of the ghost town that paralysed businesses and schools in the English speaking regions of Cameroon on Monday, 9.01.2017:

Dear brothers and sisters of West Cameroon, yesterday was a day like no other I have witnessed before. I am sure you and I new the ghost would come to town. We all, I am much surer did not foresee the size of the ghost.

In our last communication, we did affirm from the Good Book that when the Lord fights, He make sure that none doubts who fought. In Judges 6, Gideon physically led the army that God had reduced to 300 heads. In 2nd Chronicles 20, Jehoshaphat gathered the spoils for days without drawing a bow.

Dear comrades, in Judges 6:17, Gideon asked the Lord for a sign. We did ask Him of a sign that He is with us in this struggle. Monday, Jan 7th 2016, the Lord released a host of angels who effortlessly chased everyone off the streets of our towns and villages.

This morning, our God says if we will only harken to His directives, He will fight for us and we shall take long to gather the spoils. He says those He has put at the helm of the Consortium may not come with big titles from the academia and the Bar, but He, the Lord of heaven's armies has chosen them to confound the "wise" and the "prudent".

I pray that we allow the Lord to lead His army. He has laid out a plan for this struggle part of which the Consortium has published, part which shall be unveiled with time. Let it be known however, that in this plan, there is no room for arms of any sort, neither is room made for killings and destruction of any time.
Rather, great room is made for holy worship and praise, prayer and fasting, and most of all, love for one another, including love towards Yaoundé; great love.

If you doubt God, then ask yourself what was it the Consortium did to achieve the success registered yesterday. 10% effort for 110% success! That's our God. He tells us we shall inhabit cities we did not build and harvest from fields we did not plant.

If we trust Him, then we should listen and follow the Consortium.

The GHOST from heaven has returned.
Today, normal activities resume, BUT no schools, no courts.
Praise God.
Communication of Jan 10th 2017, 06:15am.

The CPDM Member of Parliament from Momo East Constituency, Member of the Finance Committee of the National Assembly, Hon. Enwe Francis Abi has rattled the Governor of the South West Region, Okalia Bilai Bernard over utterances he made over CRTV Radio’s magazine programme- Cameroon Calling this Sunday the 8th of January, 2017.

The Deputy wondered aloud how a man who considers himself a senior civil administrator could demonstrate so much ignorance in techniques of conflict management. He said; “It is a great embarrassment to hear someone in whom the State could bestow trust and so much power to descend so low as to be threatening to suspend salaries of teachers when the Head of State has personally recognized the problems they are posing as pertinent and the government at very high level is on the field negotiating a truce”.

The MP blamed Okalia Bilai for causing the peaceful strikes by lawyers and students in Buea to escalate by sending out troops to desecrate the wigs and robes of lawyers and ordering the merciless onslaught on armless students on their own campus at the University of Buea. He said such high-handed approaches belonged to an era that is long past and today there are modern methods of handling crisis without the use of force.

Hon Enwe could not understand how the Head of State would recognize the right to strike in his end of year address to the nation and someone who is supposed to represent him in the region goes about issuing threats and calling peace loving Cameroonians only asking for their rights “terrorists”.

“I think he does not understand the meaning and functioning of trade unions; I am from South Africa and trade unions go on strike every day and the government goes into negotiations, no one goes out threatening to suspend workers’ salaries when their union leaders call for strikes”.

The MP wondered aloud; “Would he suspend the salaries of all the teachers at a time we are even looking for means to train more teachers? Is he the Minister of Finance and what does he hope to achieve?”

Visibly irritated, the MP noted that when “We, CPDM Parliamentarians from the two Anglophone regions met with the striking lawyers in Yaounde and signed some resolutions, the South West Governor reported us to the Minister of Territorial Administration, to the Presidency and to other quarters, complaining that we did not have to open discussions with the lawyers; what an affront?”

He noted with dismay that Okalia Bilai’s reckless words would only go a long way in making on-going negotiations with the union leaders more complicated; a thing government, led by the Prime Minister, Head of Government is putting in all efforts to achieve. He hailed the North West Governor, Adolphe Lele l’Afrique for operating a more mature approach in handling the problems related to the strikes.

The young deputy urged government to ensure that the young men arrested in Bamenda and taken to Yaounde be immediately released and driven back to Bamenda where they were picked up. He re-iterated that if government insists they must be tried, then the Criminal Procedure Code should be respected; meaning the boys should be sent to Bamenda to be tried where they purportedly committed offenses and where their families can be of assistance.

Government Embraces Forgery;

Senior Journalist, John Mbah Akuroh has hit back at the Confederation of Anglophone Journalist Associations created by the Publisher of the Watchdog tabloid, Dotta Ezekiel for spearheading a movement which undermines the stance of a majority of Anglophone Journalists in the ongoing struggle to preserve and consolidate the Anglo saxon judicial, educational, and cultural heritage.

In his outburst, the fire brand media personality who works for the state media CRTV and manages the Times Journal has rubbished the move of Dotta by giving a strong backing to the lawyers and teachers; Insisting that the opinion of the Confederation does not reflect the general views of all Anglophone journalists.
