Re: [visionaryleader] Press-release- A generational path to political transition in Cameroon

Yes, Edwin,

 

You have written so many times on this topic of pan Cameroonism. However, in my opinion, we cannot with the stroke of the pen change the name Southern Cameroons to "Ambazonia." Here are the reasons why:

 

(1) The name "Ambazonia belongs to a liberation movement in the Southern Cameroons. We know just too well that you belong in that movement. Isn't there a conflict of interest for you to be gunning so heavily for the name of your movement to be adopted as the name of the Southern Cameroons?

 

(2) Don't you think that it should only happen at independence that a legally constituted body like an elected parliament takes up name change for the country?

 

(3) How about other names to be considered? Right now, people are thinking of Federal Republic of Southern Cameroons. Does this one not show substantial difference from LRC?

 

(4) in 1960, when we went to the UN for independence, our official name was inserted, or fag, map, anthem, and Constiyution were all attached and deposited at the Secretariat of the UN. Why should we now turn around and tell the UN tht our name has changed to this or that? Think about it.

 

(5) As far as I know it, it would not be so difficult to name a child that is born. It would not be so difficult to give an independent Southern Cameroon a name.

 

 

Thanks,

Seeking any kind of solution within the pan-Cameroonian system is a guaranteed losing proposition for the people called "Southern Cameroonians. Since as system sciences would predict any kind of "Differentiation" in the face of that subtle state- sponsored pan-Cameroonian "integration" and its insidious "assimilationist" agenda will never work." It's been tried before and failure was our outcome. 

Please let us be smarter this time around. This is the generation that will not be able to claim ignorance as an excuse. we are "last-stand" generation which destiny expects will seek and execute the permanent solution. So we must never act out of emotions but out of well thought out reasoned processes subject to the vetting of "best practices". Let us make the wise decision of mentally as well as physically separating ourselves from anything CAMEROON. let's not continue to play that old card game as losing is a certainty.

SOLUTION 

Absolutely  and without apologies, as time  is of the essence, let us adopt the "look-not-backward" differentiation in the face of our very own UNIQUE integrative identity and its accompanying nationalism of AMBAZONIA. No more should we be seen assisting in our own demise by this current state of affairs when we think sharing the same identity and nationalism base with the offending pan-Cameroonisn system is not a problem!!!!!

It makes no sense, ofcourse, unless we love our current seconds class citizenry as Southern Cameroonians

Good!!!  The socio-political problems in La Republique du Cameroun are clearly stated in your brief write-up. But where do we go from here?  It might be helpful for you to provide visual learners with a Step-by-Step Approach during the brainstorming of ideas process, to come up with concrete solutions to solve the crucial problems La Republique du Cameroun is currently facing.  This is a worthwhile initiative - a first step in problem-solving - problem identification.

Fellow Cameroonians   We are currently preparing a political reform program for Cameroon that is participatory, engaging and socially just, a program that will ignite our collective consciousness.   This initiative is a social force that advocates good governance, transformational leadership and cultivate a responsible citizenry. A vehicle for real and lasting change in Cameroon "driven by power of love not love for power", promote hope and clear hopelessness.   If fully implemented this initiative will set the stage for a new era in Cameroon. It will bring to our memory and unforgettable image of pride and reconciliation; it will capture the essence of our beloved Nation.   The goal is to achieve a broad community support of national symbol and a unique contribution to our national life. It is clear that today a large number of Cameroonians from all walks of life are seeking to change the state of our country.   We are presently engaging and leading a national conversation on how to reform our political system; Cameroonians are called upon to whole heartedly participate in this process both at home and abroad.    Participation will be by attending our public meetings, writing letters, emails or lodging email submission on our website. An expert panel will be created to capture the views of Cameroonians directly participating in the reform conversation process.   The change we seek to implement in our country is a total transformation of our political system; we are not only changing the 50 years of Ahidjo, Biya dictatorial system but we are also struggling to change the neo-colonial system of one man rule created in the 60s.     We have to reform our constitution, bringing it up to date to reflect the realities of the 21st century and to create a share vision of the kind of nation we aspire to live in or leave to our children.  Our people were never give the opportunity to participate democratically in drafting their founding document nor were they given the chance to vote for it. So our struggle is to give our people the unique opportunity to work together, in the spirit of harmony, Respect, friendship and hope.    Reforming our political system is nothing but giving our people the ultimate power and control over their governing body. Their full participation in this process will give them the guarantee that any proposed changes in both our constitution and political system is of real benefit to them.    Therefore broad and active community participation is vital in order to enlist the full participation of every Cameroonian both at home and abroad and with the help of the INTERNET (social media)   In this case Cameroonians must feel that they were adequately consulted and that their hopes and aspiration, opinions and ideas have been understood and are reflected in the proposals put forward for implementation.   A genuine sense of ownership, of any proposed change can be nurtured by an appropriate consultation period that will give the entire nation time to inform it self about the essence of reforming our country's political system and constitution.     The reform package must be able to reflect the hopes and aspiration of the whole people of Cameroon, it must contribute to a more unified and progressive and reconciled Cameroon. It must be capable of being supported by an overwhelming majority of Cameroonians from across all political and social spectrums. It must be legally sound.   This type of change can have a far-reaching impact and will never be easily achieved, but with the collective will of Cameroonians nothing is impossible. Launching this program will ignite a sense of belonging among Cameroonians and may corner the regime in Yaoundé to give up their quest for kingdom-ship and yield to our proposal.   Biya should be very ready to receive a shocking surprise if he refuses to yield and continue to manipulate our people as he is doing right now.    Njeck Howard   Head of mission for Cameroonians for reform program

Visionary leaders are the builders of a new dawn, working with imagination, insight, and boldness. They present a challenge that calls forth the best in people and brings them together around a shared sense of purpose. They work with the power of intentionality and alignment with a higher purpose. Their eyes are on the horizon, not just on the near at hand. They are social innovators and change agents, seeing the big picture and thinking strategically.
     There is a profound interconnectedness between the leader and the whole, and true visionary leaders serve the good of the whole. They recognize that there is some truth on both sides of most polarized issues in our society today. They search for solutions that transcend the usual adversarial approaches and address the causal level of problems. They find a higher synthesis of the best of both sides of an issue and address the systemic root causes of problems to create real breakthroughs.
