PRESS RELEASE
THE INVULNERABILITY OF PEOPLE POWER
It is said that the taste of the pudding is in the eating.
Some people in absolute ignorance had dismissed the SCNC nonviolent liberation struggle as the ideology of the weak, philosophy of the feeble minded and the stupid. Putting up this press release at noon of June 9, 2017 the people of British Southern Cameroons (BSC) having broken and set a new record in the power of nonviolence struggle, have out rightly defeated mighty La Republique du Cameroun (LRC) without firing even a robber gun.
We take this time to most heartily salute the parents, the school pupils and students, who have come to the full knowledge and understanding that this fight is for their freedom, dignity and glorious future. We thank the Church authorities for speaking out loud and clear and congratulate the Traditional Rulers who rejected the Yaoundé brown envelopes.
We heartily thank the teachers, lawyers, and the okada, taxi and bus transporters who are paying the price in observing the GHOST TOWN, GHOST COUNTRY. United we will rise and stand tall now and forever, better days in our hands are ahead. The solid foundation is in solidarity today!
This current nonviolent approach which is cost-effective has dealt a death blow to the occupier than what took place one month ago. The enemy is humiliated and the ministers who arrogantly came to drag us in their mud for six long days are not only leaking their wounds, they had to sneak back to Yaoundé shamelessly before mid day. As the Russians defeated great Napoleon Bonaparte with their General February, so have we defeated La Republique du Cameroun with our General January! This day January 9, 2017 must go down in the Guineas Book of Records as the day on which in obedience to and diligent application of nonviolence LRC imperialism, policy of divide and rule, corruption, intrigues, intimidation was given a knock-out defeat. BSC is most slippery in the dry season!
Nothing, nothing, has ever beyond any reasonable doubt demonstrated the oneness, unity, solidarity of the Southern Cameroonian people as this GHOST TOWN, GHOST COUNTRY has done and will continue to! In the Message to the British Southern Cameroons nation on Dec. 31, 2016, after congratulating you all for the growing unity, positive resistance, I assured you, ``Nothing overcomes oppression more than focused and purposeful solidarity against the common enemy. This has concretely been demonstrated and this should be the guiding bright morning star to lead us to freedom and sovereign existence.
In an address to ALDE/TRTP International Conference in European Parliament, Brussels in Jan.2007 after prison detention, I assured conference delegates that in Africa, there are three Guineas and two Congos and because they differ in colonial background, each is a sovereign independent nation. I then called on the civilized and democratic world to recognise and defend the fact that the two distinct Cameroons under international instruments have equal rights of separate sovereign existence. In practical terms we have in solidarity demonstrated not only that BSC is a distinct nation from LRC, we have proven that the people are sovereign and that in solidarity no foreign army can defeat us. We have equally proven that no matter how strong a tyrant may be, he can never forever be invulnerable.
From our security reports and briefs from County Chairpersons who acted as directed it is perfect GHOST TOWN, GHOST COUNTRY from Debuntcha to Kwajah and Tombel to Ekok. In Akwaya, Manyu County some thirty youths under their Youth Leader overwhelmed with joy of resounding success wanted to celebrate by going to the streets. I had to address them by phone from my abode in Bamenda not to for this victory is from the living Lord and to Him all praises should go. A teacher in Donga Mantung County from a college close to the border with Nigeria talking about ghost school puts it in a most sarcastic manner. Hear him ``Even if a school uniform were worn on a goat and tied with a rope, the goat will tear it down to maintain its goat nature. And he ended `` Here both parents, teachers, pupils and students are ready to sacrifice a year and more, to regain their freedom, independence and a better future.
In Bamenda, as was in Buea, Kumba, Mutengene, Victoria, Mamfe, Nkambe, Kumbo, the emptiness of the streets was so inviting that children had the liberty to transform the streets into football stadia. CRTV News slots could not but confirm the eloquent success. The success and victory attained is beyond expectations. GHOST TOWN, GHOST COUNTRY was operation zero schools, zero markets, zero shops opened even in the quarters and villages, zero okada, taxi, private car on the roads. Even the few police and gendarme vehicles pretending to give a false image of life as usual, certainly feared their own shadows and sound of their own vehicles. It was dead country!
With truth and legality on our side, the effective GHOST TOWNS, GHOST COUNTRY has in practical terms;
Dismissed and buried LRC imperial make-belief of a “one and indivisible Cameroun” which includes BSC propagated by its Presidency and its Ministry of mendacity, deception and propaganda. Truth is sacred and cant be consumed by meaningless political slogans. Inherited boundary treaties declared two distinct eternal Cameroons!
Proven that the AU Constitutive Act, Art. 4(b) and the principle of international jurisprudence of uti possedetis juris and the critical date are sacrosanct.
Remind LRC that in 1984 by Presidential Decree it restored its identity thus ended the lame none treaty union with British Southern Cameroons. And in the celebration of its 30th anniversary of independence (1960-1990) a postage stamp worth 1000 CFA Frs. was issued to commemorate this historic achievement. Respecting (b) above the map on this stamp excludes BSC.
Beyond any reasonable doubt demonstrated to the UN and UK in particular and international community in general that the Southern Cameroonian people want nothing but their SOVEREIGN INDEPENDENCE! The GHOST TOWN, GHOST COUNTRY is more than a REFERENDUM!
While heartily congratulating you all for winning big, we assure you this is just the taste of the pudding for LRC should its leadership continue to delay in reading the hand writing on the wall. The GHOST TOWN, GHOST COUNTRY is Gods instrument in our hand for our freedom and independence. God is not only saying something: He is doing something great in our lives. As Goliath stood huge armed to the teeth but small young David with a pebble and sling knocked him down, for he stood in defense of truth and came in the fear of the Lord, so will BSC knock down third millennium imperial LRC and chase it out of our God ordained heritage, BSC . Please read Lamentation 5:1-21 to understand how LRC has ruined and rendered BSC desolate and Psalms 37:34 and Isaiah 60:18-22 to appreciate Gods promise in the restoration of our nation and what a great nation and blessings restored BSC will be to its people and friends. Only remain faithful, prayerful, strong, courageous, focused and passionate about the mission of national restoration.
We make haste to draw the attention of the UN and international community to the fact that in spite of the calmness and peace with which things went as confirmed even by LRCs CRTV, as was on Jan. 2nd, there were still some arrests in Buea, Mamfe and Bamenda. These youths arbitrarily arrested for no crime demonstrates Yaoundés intended provocation to clamp on the innocent as usual. The arrested should not again be kidnapped to Yaoundé. They should be released!
We also call on the international community to mount meaningful pressure on President Paul Biya to BRING BACK our BOYS (BBOBs) kidnapped to Yaoundé. In addition to this we have victims of the WUM SAGA of April 2016. All these should be brought back to their homeland.
Once more wish to draw the attention of the international community to a painful fact that while all Southern Cameroonians, as an annexed and occupied people, live under the constant reign of terror, all leaders of the struggle for freedom and justice, including the National Youth Leader Mancho Bibxy (BBC) have been blacklisted and are under surveillance. To live constantly under the threat of hawkish arrest by the occupation forces, is most dehumanising and traumatising. Human rights defenders most not be in different and silent on this fact.
The train of national restoration has left the abyss of annexation and colonial occupation for the Gate of FREEDOM and SOVEREIGN INDEPENDENCE. For the doubting Thomases, imperial LRC and agents, this train piloted by an ordained invisible spirit, has no reverse gear, no key to stop the engine midway. It is forward ever to the gate of FREEDOM and SOVEREIGN INDEPENDENCE. Spring on the Freedom Train and be among the heroes of National Restoration and Sovereign Independence..
In appreciation to God Almighty, we call for prayers of thanksgiving in all Mosques this Friday and in all Churches on Sunday to the Most High and solemn plea for His continuous intervention until total Restoration and Independence.
Done in Buea, this 9th Day of Jan. 2017.
For the SCNC and on behalf of the Southern Cameroonian people.
