Pastor Taku,
What is this "Taku's Epistle to North Westerners" about? You did write here how your pastoral advice to Chief Inoni was that he should escape to Nigeria before Biya gets hold of him. You now have pastoral regrets that the chief did not take your pastoral advice. God must have some bizarre way of revealing Himself to you on advising your own to escape and advising those of the North West to stone their own to death. You remind one of the elementary school fable in which the tortoise deceived the dog to make a meal of mother dog and when it came time for the tortoise to make a meal of mother tortoise, the tortoise filled the pot with stones. Thanks for your pulpit advice to the people of the North West. They sure will remember the advice when your prayers make Ambassador Fossung the President of the Republic of the Southern Cameroons.
NDI MANJONG.

How can these people positively influence party matters while outside the country? They should be engaging the party back home in a constructive way instead of joining the drumbeat of asking for Ni John Fru Ndi's head. For instance, they could support the party financially. They could invite the party's leadership to meet them in London, Vienna, Washington D.C., New York, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, Atlanta or Paris to brainstorm on how to improve the party's operation. When any of them goes home, he/she should make it a point to seek audience with Ni John Fru Ndi and the party leaders to talk about the party. It is wrong to detach oneself from the party only to engage in constant, relentless destructive criticism or scapegoating an individual.

Dear Mr. Boh, This is tough love indeed. Some amongst us had to go too low to purge ourselves of the anger developed by Pa Fru Ndi's selfish and egoistic 'politiking.' While most of us have the tendencies to analyze political situations to suit our emotional and selfish needs,this is an objective analysis.In a Cameroon where only heroes and villains exists,permit say this one is in the middle. Only a thin-skinned fool will dispute the fact that Ni John Fru Ndi's extended stay at the helm of the SDF has harmed the party a lot. For starters,the SDF was a revolutionary party,created to champion the interests of the marginalized-by this,I mean the 90 percentile left in the cold by the gangsterism and biyarism of the CPDM.Mishe Fon is part of the 90 percentlile,but his good friend and leader of the aborginals (PAAWCE) is unfortunately in the 10th percentile...(laughing). Mr. Boh,SDF can came back,because it already has structures in the provinces,but heads must role at the top for this to happen. Mbah Ndam must also move to the reserve bench.As key adviser to the Chairman,he is equally responsible for the demise of the party. The reborn SDF must go back to basics-focus on unifying Cameroonians across region,religion,ethnicity,language,and colonial heritage. Capitalize on winning disgruntled CPDM politicians,farmers,intellectuals,students,workers,the unemployed and underemployed.These are the people that championed the manifestos of the early 1990s. The SDF must continue to stay away from secessionist movements, and take advantage of the fact that Northern Cameroon is still poorer than the South.The North is up for grasps,and a strategic and re-branded SDF can sweep the west,Northwest,southwest,littoral,and the northern provinces. But wait a minute,Biya will always steall elections! The only reason why Biya steals elections is the lack of collective action from the SDF,which was the only opposition party.SDF must go back to its principle of political and social change. Which means only political actions like demonstrations,insurrections,and other public incitement and collective actions can match Biya's strategy of stifling,demoralizing,and misdirecting opposition power. Street demonstration has led to the downfall of regimes in Spain,Africa,and elsewhere;it can happen in Cameroon Violent responds from Biya will only make the SDF strong. Biya made the SDF more popular in the early 1990s than even Ni Fru Ndi himself.It is Biya's attempt to violently suppress a large rally held by the SDF in Bamenda in May 1990 that hardened and popularize the movement.The ghost town (Villes mortes),also popularize the SDF.Only a peaceful revolution characterized by demonstrations,mass actions,riots,and swarms can break the regime in Yaounde.The new SDF must re-develop the capacity to champion such actions.If that is the path we have to follow to put our beloved country on track,so be it.
