Re: [Cameroonpatriots] Letter to All Cameroonians

Mr. Patrick

you, like those before you have got it all wrong again. Is it by error or by commission?

Its high time this type of ostrich behaviour of hiding you heads and exposing your entire

body by refusing to accept what is right be abandon, for legitimacy to reign.

 

The real issue here is that you and your ilks do not wanna brave the political badfaith by

some or all the francophone leadership after the 1961 socalled reunification between the

British Southern Cameroons (not anglophones) with the independent Cameroun Republic.

 

This argument have been systematically and persistently presented by the former and

present leadership of the Southern Cameroons. The SCNC did not come from space or

as a desire to restore our suppressed sovereignty but rather it was a dream to keep a failed

union amended through constitutional remedies.

 

What happened, your Constitutional droners spite fire and refused any meaningful change and

went along to adopt and enact another trash in the name of a new Constitution in 1996 with 

 institutions propose by the Standing committee of AAC, like the SENATE and the House of

Chiefs.Where are these institutions after close to13 years, if I may ask? 

 

You folks will accept atleast that elections in Cameroun have never been free and fair despite the

victories by the SDF in 1992, and there was nothing any of your leaders  did about it. So tell me do

we continue to morgage our children's future in a failed political enterprise or do you want us to go

the stupid way so that France and NATO would use propaganda and armes to annihilate our people

and territory as  prophesised by PAT0000000?

 

We still believe in our legitimate rights before international law and sooner or later the same bodies

will put an end to these unfortunate situation. Remember all the exchanges here are cabled to the UN

and relevant organs as evidence of the threats and plans for a final solution, genocide in Southern

Cameroons. God save us!

Good day!

george

Hello my dears,

 

I have been reading the comments of people here about this important issue. At the beguinning i refused to react but some point of view, i don't share, obliged me to contribute to this debate.

First of all when we talk about anglophone we reffer to a person who identifies himself as using the english language as mean of communication. this "anglophone" terminology had a meaning in the past since cameroon was divided into two groups of people: Some speaking french and others speaking english. 

But nowadays, due to the dynamism of the population and the possibility for any parent to choose the appropriate educational system for his children, the anglophone terminology is gradually loosing its substance or its meaning. The cameroonian from the north will send his children to english schools and they will become bilingual. Cameroonian from the NW or SW region born in yaoundé or douala and growing up in a bilingual environment will be using both languages with the same importance. I myself i studied bilingual studies at the university of yaoundé as many classmates and we spend a semester in Bamenda for studies. We have parents from both sides of cameroon.

What is the meaning of the terms "Anglophone" and "Francophone" for the new generation of cameroonians, i mean the young generation? My answer? they are meaningless. They belong to the past. The modern cameroonian is bilingual if not multilingual. He speaks french,english, pidgin camfranglais and cameroonian languages and that makes his pride when he is talking to people from other countries who speak only one language.  We want to be called cameroonians. We want to be given a chance to live in a peaceful world. Our nation is only 51 years old and we want to grow by solving our problems gradually. But please let us not fight the "wrong ennemy" "Ne combattons pas le faux combat".

 

Très fraternellement!!!

Please my Francophones Cameroonians the truth is and remains that before this Government in Cameroon appoints somebody the check to see that you are from the former LRC, if it is English then they look for someonewho is of that origin and speak English if not how can you explain that ALL Ambassadors in English speaking countries are francophones USA, UK, Canada, Nigeria, South Africa etc.

Honestly for any person of LRC origin whether with an anglophone culture to REFUSED that there is not anglophone maginalisation s/he is a devil!

Mr. Youmssi please mind your writings!

Cameroon in one country, one nation and one people.

I'm bamileke and I don't know what is anglophone and what is francophone.

Anglophone are free to learn and speak french as well as francophone are free to learn and speak english and get equal chances and advantages.

Please Mr  Ntep  what  you  say  is  quite  true.  But  honestly  there  is  an  anglophone problem  which Mr  Biya  is  very  much  aware  of.  In  fact  that  was  even  why he  came  to  power  because  he  made  Mr  Ahidjo - whose  main  problem  at  that  time  was  the  integration  of  the  two Cameroon- believed  that  he  could  manage that  situation.  This  brought  about  the  20th  may 1972  supposed  peaceful  revolution. Ahidjo  had  faith  in  him.  After  when  he  took  over  office  strange  enough  he  never  appeared  to  the  field  for  the  20th  may  match past  as  if  to  show  the  anglophones  he  sympathized  with  them  and  that  20th  may  was   out  of  place.  In  fact  strange  because  he  was  one  of  the  main  actors.  To  win  the  anglophones  confidence  he  went  further  to  visit  Bamenda  as  the  first  place  in  Cameroon  and  further  Nigeria  out  of  Cameroon. These  instances  made  the  right  thinking  Anglophone  to  believe  that  Mr  Biya  was  for  them.  But  shortly  afterward  after  gaining  that  confidence he  betrayed  the  Anglophones  by  transforming  that  very  20th  may  a  national  holiday  and  11th  february  youth  day .  He  went  further  to  declare  the  Republic  making  all  Anglophone identity  lost.  Ask  a  young  Cameroonian  what  is  the  significance of 11th  february  he  will  never  say  plebiscite because  he  does  not  know - a people s history lost.  If  you  have  ever  worked  in  Cameroon- as  I  have  done-  you  will  know  that  the  Anglophones place  is  that  of  almost  slavery. He  is  a  very  good  technician  but  can never  be given  room  to any  decision making - sad.  You  need  to  be  there  - they  are  second  class  citizens.  This  has  made  the  Cameroonians  from  the  francophone  regions  who  have  studied  english - like  the  people  of  the  11th  province  take  much  advantage.  They  will  declare  at  every  juncture  their  anglophone  seemingly  background  but  will  be  preferred  by  their  brothers  the  francophones.  So  you  see  there  is  a  big  problem.  When  you  want  to  go  further  they  will  bring  the  problem  of  minority  in  the  Cameroonian  context.  Here  they  coin  it  now  to tribal  minority  and  never  talking  of  West  Cameroon  which  joined  their eastern  counterpart  after they - eastern -  had  their  independence  in  1960  excluding  the Anglophone.  And  these  very  anglophones  came  in  as  a  federated state. People  of  Cameroon  why  do  we  pretend  there  is  no problem. Tell  me  when  an  Anglophone  can  be  a  president? --- En date de : Jeu 29.11.12, Armand Ntep <Bantuphonic@aol.com> a écrit : De: Armand Ntep <Bantuphonic@aol.com> Objet: Re: [Cameroonpatriots] Letter to All Cameroonians À: Cameroonpatriots@yahoogroups.com Date: Jeudi 29 novembre 2012, 0h45   A Tous bonsoir permettez S'il vous plait de reagir dans ce debat, non en tant que francophone mais plutot en tant que Camerounais et j'allais dire mieux , Africain et citoyen de ce monde. a Mr Mishe qui a initie ce debat se trompe de cible, on ne peut pas vouloir renverser Biya et se plaindre de tous les "francophones", qui sont au depart des Africains comme tout le reste, c'est donner trop d'importance a cette categorie de personnes. La realite est la, des 2 cotes: Anglos et francos, souffrent dans une misere indescriptible... et biensure des 2 cotes , il faut reconnaitre que,d'aucun ont bien beneficie des aides du leadership "Francophone" en place , des bourses ... pour se rendrent aux USA, en Europe...et d;ailleurs continuent meme.. je crois sincerement que Mr Mishe se trompe de cible, Puisque Biya avec l'aide de ces parrains nous ont depasse ( Francos/Anglos), a defaut d'obliger Biya a quitter le pouvoir,laisser ce Mr mourrir de sa propre mort et,a partir de la, esperer un changement , j'espere veritabe et benefique pour tous les Camerounais des 4 coins. Pour moi, que le Prochain President soit du NW, SW C, N, je m'en tape pourvu que nous avancions dans un pays Pleinement libre et democratique. Cette culpabilisation recurrente de certain freres anglophones me fait penser aux reactions de certain de nos freres de la diaspora qui nous accusent de les avoir vendus....Au lieu de pleurer , et toujours culpabiliser les autres, trouvons ensemble le moyen d'avancer pour notre bien et biensure celui de l'Humanite Tous mes respects et bonne soiree aux membres de ce Forum.
