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!

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!

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?

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.
