OFFICIAL CONNIVANCE

While at the University of Cameroun, Yaounde, in the early seventies, some of our BETI teachers missed no occasion to call us (Anglophones) LES BIAFRAIS. Even at that level of scholarship! A particular teacher never minced words in asserting that he would naturally prefer to identify with the Fang-speaking people of Gabon and Equatorial Guinea than with LES BIAFRAIS. Probably because there was little social media then to publish such hate rhetoric, such and similar utterances went on unchecked, and grew luxuriantly…

The Feb 11, 1961 Plebiscite was neither a life nor death sentence, so it can be reversed. Just know how your parents voted, before blaming others.
On this day, 58 years ago on Feb. 11, 1961, Southern Cameroons voted for independence in a UN plebiscite and joined French Cameroun; a different country which gained independence from France on January 1, 1960 (as Republic of Cameroun) with international borders that did not include Southern Cameroons.

Dear President Biya:

Since the writing of my first open letter to you on social concerns about the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon, it appears to me that things have changed drastically for the worse, and many voices have been silenced by death. That the iron fist of a regime of bloodshed, sham politics and elections have been the norm rather than the exception! It is even alleged that soldiers under your clock have taken matters into their own hands and have been steadily and shamelessly committing extrajudicial acts in the face of recording cameras and photographers.

Mr. President what are the guiding principle of truth and peace for Cameroon?

Mr. President my hands are heavy to put words in sentences to describe what victims and innocent eyes have seen in one year in Cameroon.

From a historical perspective, it took the United States a bloody civil war to end a very serious social wrong in 1864: Legalized slavery. Today, we are witnessing in Cameroon what other nations have seen, including Germany, Rwanda, Cambodia, Congo, and in other parts of the world.

The Republic of Cameroonâ€”a former French colonyâ€”which once prided itself as an oasis of stability in Sub-Saharan Africa, is in disarray. Its minority English-speaking people (â€œAnglophonesâ€), whoâ€™ve been victims of Cameroonâ€™s assimilationist policies since October 1961, are in open revolt against this calamity that has stricken them.Â Eighteen months ago, fed up with the scourge of assimilationâ€”some of which involves sending French-trained Cameroonian teachers, mayors and magistrates into English-speaking regions, in order for them to manage these regionsâ€™ affairsâ€” English-speaking teachers and lawyers took to the streets in protest, demanding that this practice be abandoned by the government.Â
