I do not think that this case, with any kind of favorable ruling cannot liberate the Southern Cameroons. The key to the liberation of the Southern Cameroons
is the Southern Cameroonians themselves. If we do not act, do not expect any other country in the world to act for us and liberate the Southern Cameroons
for us. Read the history of most countries in the world. The people took it upon themselves send away the colonizer. If we are not ready to liberate ourselves,
then we should stop writing all this on the Internet. We are better than this. Outside help is needed from friendly countries but not before we get started.
As Prof. just said, we should stop "bemoaning Nigeria's inaction," after all, Nigeria was not responsible for our problems. As said, our situation must be in
our own control, and everybody must be on board. That is what is needed from all Southern Cameroonians. We have to go forward.

We keep on bemoaning Nigeria's inaction. We can keep on moaning till the cows come home. That will avail us nothing. We must bear our own cross and take necessary measures to secure our liberation from colonial captivity.

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:
