The President of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium, CACSC, who doubles as President of Fako Layers Association, Barrister Agbor Balla Felix, says President Paul Biya has not been well briefed on the issues raised by lawyers and teachers.

The Buea-based advocate added that “The President’s Speech has completely misjudged the situation for West Cameroonians whose education, culture, language and economic aspirations have been severely undermined over a period of 55 years.”In a Press release shortly after the State of the Nations address by Paul Biya on December 31, 2016, the Consortium’s leader noted that the speech calls for honest dialogue which they share and that the speech recognized the dishonest approach of governments previous efforts, hence they cannot determine whether or not negotiations will yield fruits unless the government shows good faith. 

The Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium maintained that what is happening informer West Cameroon is “A grassroots movement for the restoration of the values that West Cameroon inherited at independence such as the democratic shield and Common law, which appear to have been severely undermined.”The Civil Society Organization said what happened in Bamenda, Buea and Kumba is blatant disregard of fundamental Human Rights which have been watched with horror both at home and abroad, thanks to the exposure of Social Media.

The Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium following these events has called on the Head of State to investigate and prosecute those who have facilitated or perpetrated the killings, rape and torture of English Speaking West Cameroonians. It maintained that the strike action shall continue this January until substantive dialogue is engaged.

Barrister Akere Muna has revealed that Anglophone territories have undergone an annexation by Francophone Cameroon. Akéré Muna, made the revelation in a televised conversation with Spectrum Télévision (STV) on December 29, 2016.
The former President of the Bar Association argued that the current Northwest and Southwest Regions were independent before the October Reunification in 1961.

Akéré Muna contested the statements of those who declare the contrary and pointed out that Southern Cameroons existed as an independent country. “People had different agendas. I think that for some, it was necessary to mask an annexation and for the others, it was two States. And this desire on the side of Southern Cameroon was so clear that they demanded there be independence before the Reunification. So West Cameroon celebrated its independence at the Centenary Stadium in Victoria before the Reunification. “Muna also brandished documents referring to the independence of West Cameroon and asserted that he attended the proclamation of the independence of that entity.  

The former president of Transparency International also observed that during the Foumban negotiations in 1961, “Southern Cameroons did not suspect that there was another game going on “.

He added that prior to Nigeria’s independence; Southern Cameroons was managed as an integral part of Nigeria with headquarters at Enugu. But his father, Solomon Tandeng Muna had demanded and obtained that Southern Cameroons be detached from Nigeria before its independence to avoid future negotiations with both Cameroon and Nigeria.

Akéré Muna noted that the Anglophone problem has two sides- One legal and the other political. “On the legal side, we can do a lot of things that have been done, which have completely truncated the truth. But I think that the solution tothe problem of our country does not lie in the past. The actions we are undertaking today will determine the future.”

Government is presently in a desperate attempt to forcefully get schools to resume come Monday Jan 9. Huge sums of money were dulled out to traditional rulers this Christmas through Governors to 1st class rulers, SDOs to 2nd class and DOs to 3rd class rulers. Whilst we caution any of our fathers who have taken this money of wickedness not to further desecrate the throne and their authority by taking the wrong side in this struggle, we appeal to all stakeholders not get give up at this point in time, when victory is so close.
"Those who are for us are more than those who are against us." That's the only reason to be advanced for the fact the President's speech leaked more than 3hrs to presentation. We have friends in very high places.

After failing to force-start schools on the 9th, Yaoundé will also be forced to face reality.
The multiple secret visits to Bamenda yesterday and today by very highly placed and thought of members of government is another sign of desperation. That the government up to now has not effected nor announced any measures taken to solve either the problems raised by lawyers or teachers is indicative of the fact that we all run a great danger if we allow the strike to collapse. If it does, we shall be greatly spited and the regime will not be under pressure to address these grievances.

For union leaders and others at the forefront of this struggle, beware! It has been revealed in the spirit realms, the release of a huge amount of VOODOO money meant to maim the brain and cause heavy carnage.
We hereby call on all to fear God and resist the enemy that he may flee from us.
Dear fathers, mothers, and children, remember that teachers and lawyers are not fighting for personal gains.
Also, do not forget that our kids gave up their lives so that their siblings may have a brighter future; that scores of them are still under abduction.

Remember, DO NOT let us down at the finish line.

Communication of Jan 4th 2017.
Time; 4:53am.
Tassang Wilfred,
NESG CATTU.
