The idea of an international conference instead takes us way back. We are substantially more advanced than that. Such a conference would be a waste of resources, and tint
of procedure. You do not want to be criticized by the ICJ and others for challenging that ruling. We are supposed to focus on our independence and not on a subset like the
Bakassi ruling. That one...(Bakassi ruling) is extraneous.

Dr. Tumasang,
My warm greetings.
Tell me. Why can we not organise an international conference for the sole purpose of exposing the fraud that took place in the Bakassi case? The question I posed and the answers given shows that we have all the facts and the arguments, yet for some unknown reason we prefer to reason among ourselves instead of forcefully bringing our case to the awareness of the world! Isn't this thoroughly embarrassing? I do not want to think that it is a problem of money. A few well-to-do Southern Cameroonians can begin by putting down the money for such a conference and once the enthusiasm is kindled, I am sure we will have more contributions for other actions.
Regards.
Atemnkeng.

Hi Chief,
thanks for your contribution on this. I think Nigeria was afraid to open Pandora's Box considering perhaps the situation of Northern Cameroons which is now its territory but the joining there seems also not to have been done following the correct legal procedures. As Defendant in a case, Nigeria had to put the defence that serves its interest best. It cannot be considered a co-conspirator because it argued its case in one way or another. Of what interest is it to Nigeria if they deal with the boundary issue with Southern Cameroons or with La Republique du Cameroun?. La Republique du Cameroun is offering a Joint Development Zone around Bakassi for both parties to cooperate and plunder the area before the rightful owner can emerge. This is where they are conspiring against us. If I were Nigeria, I might do the same and take as much as I can from there before things fall apart.
I think it was an issue of self interest that informed such an approach by Nigeria. Anyway, by the grace of God we will sooner than later have our day.
Regards
Tumasang

Dr Tumasang, Thanks for referring to this Judgment. I also read the arbitration decision concerning the same matter. I wish to refer to the opinion of Judge Oda hereunder and to state that by not challenging the lgal status of La Republique du Cameroun over the Southern Cameroons, not only did us a great disservice but acted in bad faith and in violation of its own High Court order to defend our interest in the Land and Maritime Case, Cameroun Vs Nigeria. This case in perspective was one of the greatest diplomatic and legal strategies to challenge the force occupation of East Timor by Indonesia in order to attain the decision aptaly stated by Judge Oda. To so, Australia dared Indonesia by laying claims to and occupying part of the East Timor Continental Shelf , ofcourse in full agreement of the East Timorese Liberation Front that wwas involved in armed conflict to expel Indonesia from their territory. Australia than through diplomatic channels invited Portugal to file an action against Australian occupation and claim over that part of the territory. The decision that followed clearly defined the status of the Portugal's colonial possession of East Timor in law. reaffirmed her right to self deterimination and as well as confirmed the UN obligations towards the ensuring that those inalienable rights were respected. Indonesia's came out the loser and the occupied territory ofEast Timor the winner. From then Australia moved to the next stage of supporting the struggle of East Timor for freedom and independence. It finally made substantial contributions of its armed forces to the International forces that were deployed to the territory. Had Nigeria challenged the pleadings in the case filed by La Republique as we have argued, the ICJ might have taken the occasion to clearly define our status in international. From a posting by Dr Mbua concerning the procedure and jurisdiction in bringing all actions concerning the execution of the trusteeship agreement, Nigeria as an interested party had locus standi to raise tha matter before the ICJ. Failing to do so makes Nigeria as culpable and even complicit in our occupation and colonial status just La Republique du Cameroun, the principal perpetrator. The lack of locus of Portugal was due to the fact that rather than grant independence to East Timor, it merely packed out and left the territory to be forcefully occupied by Ndonesis. Thanks again for bringing this jurisprudence to our attention. [p. 118 S.O. Oda] 19. Irrespective of the status of East Timor - which is still in abeyance according to the United Nations - and irrespective of the rights of the people of East Timor to self-determination guaranteed by the United Nations Charter, it is clear that Portugal has not been considered - at least since the early l980s - to be a coastal State lying opposite to Australia and that in 1991, when Portugal's Application was filed in the Registry of the Court, it did not have any authority over the region of East Timor, from the coast of which the continental shelf extends south-wards in the Timor Sea. --- On Sun, 2/3/13, Tumasang Martin <tumasangm@hotmail.com> wrote:
