Just In: 15 SDF MP's at Cameroon's National Assembly are calling for a Federal System

15 SDF MPs at the National Assembly who were not part of the meeting grouping CPDM MPs and Common Law Lawyers have distanced themselves from the recommendations and pressed for Federal system.

They have insisted that the solution must be of general interest ,that is to all Anglophones. The describe Tuesday's meeting as a non event.

They have called on Anglophone Cameroonians to stand behind the lawyers and also support views of the SDF which to them is the only way to solve the Anglophone problem.

Below is a statement released by the SDF members of parliament  to that effect:

<>The Anglo-Saxon System of Education

The struggle that led to the creation of the GCE board also gave us The Impetus to force this government to enact a law creating the Anglo-Saxon sub-system of Education. This sub-system has gradually been side-lined to the point of extinction and to the extent that the various Teachers Unions of the Anglo-Saxon educational sub-system have programmed a strike to start on the 21st of November 2016. Again, members of the SDF parliamentary group of Anglophone extraction lend their total support and hope that the CPDM members of parliament of Anglophone extraction will not again seek ways and means to put an end to this other noble action meant to restore the Anglo-Saxon system of education.
Some of the touching issues that command us to support this strike action ore amongst others:

French speaking and trained teachers are now deployed Into the North West and South West regions to teach subjects in a language that the children and students don't understand.
Public and competitive exams are poorly translated from French to English creating on artificial filter by design for students of the Anglo-Saxon sub-system.

This strike action, motivated by the aforementioned grievances and many others is not only to be commended but should be supported by every Cameroonian of goodwill.

These Issues discussed above and many more such as a wined economy and an ever foiling democratic process, corruption and embezzlement of public funds which all seriously disenfranchise Carneroonians of Anglophone extraction and all other Comeroonions are only reminiscent of the bad governance that we have been experiencing under the Biya regime for over 34 years.

The SDF members of National Assembly of Anglophone extraction are embarrassed by yet another manipulation orchestrated by our colleagues of the CPDM who have lured the leadership of the common law lawyers into believing that a more promise or condemnation would suffice to resolve the issues plaguing the common low layers association.

Be that as it may, we strongly reiterate that a lasting and permanent solution to this state of affairs is a return to federalism as conceived in 1961 so that the two entities that come together can comfortably live and enjoy their respective identity that they brought  into the union.
