KENNETH JOHN BEGHENI NDEH:

Whereas I have received many stimulating and challenging and most comforting messages since this POST..I find it interesting that you have neither officially nor officiously reacted to its SOUNDNESS.

Rather you prefer loud-sounding yet hollow rhetoric like tagging me an 'irrédentiste' etc.

the sorryYou have been RANTING about PAAAAAAWWWWWCCCCCEEEEE since 1997 and that from position of IGNORANCE.

You hope for a MIRACLE whereas the Bible educates us to WORK OUT OUR MIRACLES. Once more..help yourself.
Educate yourself from this post that the world might have some PEACE.

Perhaps you do not know that IGNORANT folks are a danger to themselves FIRST and a greater danger to society.
 PAAWCE and the Imperative of an Informed Paradigm Shift

The self-proclaimed spokesman of an unknown quantity called PAAWCE - Mr Kenneth Fru Ndeh - states that PAAWCE stands for Patriotic Aboriginal Anglophone of West Cameroon Extraction.

We all know that West Cameroon is the state that ensued from the re-branding of Southern Cameroons as per the 1961 Unification processes.
We also know that the state of West Cameroon joined the re-branded state of La Republique du Cameroun - rebranded as East Cameroun - to constitute the Cameroun that is: a composite of two states as per its founding.

Mr Kenneth Fru Ndeh has made a deliberate choice to speak of West Cameroon I have made a deliberate choice to rather speak of Southern Cameroons. Hopefully there will be a meeting of the mind somewhere.
We also know that the UN processes that led to the composition of the Cameroun that is recognised the peoples of the then Southern Cameroons as A PEOPLE with all the natural and international and divine and legitimate and legal rights ascriptive to A PEOPLE - any PEOPLE.

That recognition of Southern-West Cameroonians as A PEOPLE with inherent rights was reiterated only recently - in the 2009 Ruling by non other that the African Commission on the Human and Peoples Rights or the ACHPR.
The ACHPR is a vital arm of the African Union - the AU - which arm oversees and enforcees human and peoples rights in Africa.
Mr Kenneth Fru Ndeh tells us that PAAWCE is invented to appeal for the next president of Cameroun to be a West Cameroonian. This call - legitimate - is founded on the premise that after two East Camerounian presidents, it is but logical and legitimate to give a West Cameroonian the chance. Fair enough. But here is a fantastic statement from the spokesman of PAAWCE. Speaking about Southern Cameroonians, Mr Fru Ndeh claims that the vast majority of persons from this region are Patriotic to the nation state of Cameroon.

Now Mr Fru Ndeh may not be aware of the 1995 Signature Referendum wherein Southern Cameroonians voted massively - using their National Identity cards - to end what Mola Njoh Litumbe calls a Njomba Marriet with La Republique du Cameroun or East Cameroun. But the fact that Mr Fru Ndeh is ignorant regarding this fact - and many other facts - is not the objective of this treatise. I will soon land.

Mr Fru Ndeh's is a vision and the man would not know the Habbakukian prescription on translating every vision into reality. Suffices to say that he has done his best. It behooves all men - and women - of goodwill to see if we could use this as a stepping block to something. This is where I am going. Now, there is a critical flaw in Pa Fru Ndeh's current reasoning. He expects his PAAWCE candidate to land on the system by magical fiat! Or by the typically Napoleonic decree! I argue that that is not happening. I believe that nothing is given and that the SDF Saga has its jurisprudence. If at all taking power in Yaounde were still in the cards for Southern Cameroonians that process will not be served by every once in a while roaring PAAWCE on the Internet. The thing will be won inch by inch, step by step, blow by blow.
een in this light PAAWCE has not even started.

I now land and I intend to shoot two birds with one stone. I am writing as the elected Chairman of the Commission of Ways and Means for the Southern Cameroons Peoples Organisation. I am writing from a purely legal and very legitimate position - all protocols considered. From my vantage point, I may have more information than I put in here to back up my arguments. I use this medium for want of another but this is the beginning.
You see, as opposed to East Cameroun, Southern-West Cameroons is - and will always be a self-governing PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY. Our system exudes POWER-TO-THE-PEOPLE not power-to-the-decree. This means that leaders are secreted not top-to-bottom but bottom-up ie from grassroots. And that leaders, elected by the grassroots have a chance of making it to the Prime Minister's Office.
Permit me post for our consideration what SCAPO calls the First and the Second Schedules.


The First Schedule is a presentation of all the Counties, Local Government Areas and Precints in the Southern-West Cameroons.
The Second Schedule is the Legislative Schedule or how to invent municipal -grassroots leaders to represent and speak for their people.  The time is now to implement the First and Second Schedules. Could we now step up and do what we have to do.
Why?
It is a matter of self-government, it is a matter of being the ELITE, it is a matter of survival. It is even a matter of Organised Development.
Within the means available, SCAPO is willing to set up a powerful home secretariat to supervise the process.
Is this do-able?
Of course it is.
For one thing it will facilitate other initiatives like the Southern Cameroons Reserve Fund invented by Dr Martin Tumasang. Other groups and units are engaged in other processes to guarantee self-government.
  The Southern-West Cameroon Diaspora can, most naturally, show LEADERSHIP in this process. If you cannot be downfield to effect your presence in your Precinct and Local Government Area why not look for some lethal Southern-West Cameroonian to represent you? Then you fund and control the grassroots and ensure than nothing happens therein without you. This, I believe, is making ourselves useful. My comrade-in-arms, Mr Boh Herbert calls our generation THE PEOPLE WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR. So?
I believe that the time is now for us to start the re-conquest of the Southern-West Cameroons from the Counties to Local Government Areas to the Precincts.

God bless you.

God bless Southern- West Cameroon.

If he were even a little younger (say like 94 years only), he will over night convene a meeting of the CPDM Polit-Bureau, a few talking heads of the Central Committee, call a few Army Generals...inside a locked room and tell them: "Wuna look me well well 4 eye. God has just "Buttered" our bread. This is our time. Do you feel me? The Constitution has just been changed as at this moment...and I am your NEW PRESIDENT.

All those Against say NAY (looking around the closed room for any renegades)...Silence totale dans la salle. All those FOR say AIE...Thunderous applause with cries of "Vive notre nouveau President Mishe Nfon Munkwete Victor, Long Live Fiango, Kumba, Long Live SW Province, Bye Bye Baminda Peepoo...Wuna don see wetin? Wuna wayo be don toomuch...Kamalloon na we Kontri. In less than two weeks, Pa Mishe Nfon will be "Knacking" French like Leopold Sedar Senghor and ALL Cameroonians will LINE up behind him to show their support and so-called solidarity.

Raymond, in Cameroon we call that "La Politique Du Ventre Affame". Go Figure.

Have you seen how the National Assembly DEPUTES (where you say you want to become a Parliamentarian under Pa PAP's Party) have been reduced to "Boy Boy Status"? They were all looking like "Suffer Peepoo" during the 20th May, Defile.

Mishe Fon,As per the curennt constitution, should anything happen to cause vacancy at the presidency, Nfon Victor E. Mukete cannot become the interim president. He is only the president of a provisionary bureau or better still, he's only interim president of the Senate. The constitution states the president of the senate, NOT interim senate president. That said, speaker of the National Assembly steps in.

Massa Agbor Enow

In essence, you are not serious about your brilliant article on the "Docility of Cameroon Opposition". I was engaging you to get more substance and have you put more "beef" on the skeleton I thought I discerned in your missive. Now you are asking me to support "my friend"  Pa Fru Ndeh's PAAWCE foolishness? How is wishing that an "Anglophone" becomes a President...a Political ideology or platform? OK so something terrible happens tomorrow to the incumbent and 96 year old Bameta-Bafaw-Kumba (PAAWCE) Pa Chief Nfon Mukete is catapulted President of Cameroon as per the present Constitution...will you Agbor Enow or other Cameroonians be better off? Please, Give me a freaking break. I was sincerely holding you in very high esteem...just from reading some of your input here in Matango House. I simply hope I was not mistaken. I know we have a lot of "Very Crazy Ideologues" in cyberspace who will say and write any damn "Banza Washiwara" that pops in their cerebellum, just to sound relevant. Enjoy the rest of your day.

I will not even dispute a single word of some of the arguably disputable analysis you've injected in your brilliant narrative. OK! So the SDF and by extrapolation, the entire Cameroon Opposition has collectively failed...and you have the solutions. Square and fine by me. I agree with you INTOTO. For arguments sake, let us screw the CPDM and their new wife, SDF (the two compradors and cankerworm that have destroyed Cameroon DEMO-CRAZY). Forget the "Fon" that is attached to my name and consider me "blindly for now" as an avid supporter of anything righteous i.e. someone you can trust (even with your wife) no "Herd Mentality", No Raffia bag of tricks, No tribalism, No Mago Mago business, No negative epitaphs usually associated with retrograde, careerist opportunistic Political Animals; No Bamendrousness, No Bamilekeness, No NW vs SW, No Banyangui vs Bakweri, No Bafaw vs Bameta, No Francophone vs Anglophone (Yet)...non of those Negatives that stifle TRUE DemoCrazy...   OK. Now; I want you to form a brand new Political Party (let us name it: Cameroon Advanced Action Party "CAAP") with a Manifesto that depicts what you sincerely believe in and which (except I read you wrong...I am still in my first cup of Hennessey) you so intelligently articulated in this beautiful prose here below. When that your/our Party CAAP is eventually formed (to replace the failed SDF & CPDM) you can and should consider me one of the first and very loyal MILITANTs who will fight tooth and nail to uphold the ideology and philosophy you so strongly believe in. That way, you and I (so-called Internet Politicians) will not be seen as mainly criticizing the status quo, but actually proposing something concrete in solving the myriad of problems the CPDM and their third wife SDF(after incestuously sleeping with UNDP, PAL, UPC(Koddock, Hogbe Nlend, Dakole, Tchiroma) have bequeath to the younger generation of Cameroonians and the complete quagmire our country finds itself in right now. As they say; The ball is in your court...Monsieur le President AGBOR ENOW...Over to you. Your CAAP Organizing and Publicity Secretary...to be.

From: Agbor Enow Augustine <Enow007@yahoo.com> To: camnetwork@yahoogroups.com Cc: cameroon_politics@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, May 27, 2013 4:45 PM Subject: [camnetwork] The Docility of Cameroon opposition parties The Docility of Cameroon opposition parties: The anocracy in Cameroon was not introduced by the autocratic junta of the CPDM led regime to further democracy. In fact, multipartism was promoted by Biya as a means to hang on to power, by averting the threats from violent strikes and mass actions that had engulfed the country during this era. The ruling Cameroon peoples Democratic Movement has assumed a sense of superiority over national polity, which it has no title; and embarked on a quest to turn all Cameroonians into a docile, dependent, and obedient mob. I will not waste my time to talk about the CPDM as a party, because it is nothing more than a corrupt crowd of old cowards locked in a tiny hut playing drums, while many self-conceit, obstinate, and docile laypeople jump helplessly and hopelessly round and round to catch a glimpse. Some Cameroonians even call it Cameroon Productive Destructive Movement (CPDM); and I concur with them, because the best resource the country has (its people) are produced and destroyed by the regime. While my intention is to reflect on the docility of opposition political parties in Cameroon, it will be dishonest not to acknowledge the oppression of opposition parties by the authoritarian regime led by the junta Biya Paul. The Social Democratic Front (SDF) is a macrocosm of the more than 200 political parties that exist in Cameroon, most of which are satellite parties of the CPDM.  Opposition parties are supposed to be watchdogs for scrutinizing and criticizing wayward government decisions, as well as providing alternate sense of direction. But in Cameroon, we have an ethnically fragmented political opposition desperate to be bought up by the Biya regime. Opposition parties like the SDF are experiencing rapid erosion of public confidence, increasingly weak internal organization, and the eroding of grassroots membership. The demise of political opposition parties is due to external and internal factors that characterized the political environment in Cameroon. The first external factor that affect political opposition parties, hence forth SDF, is the authoritarian rule of regime junta Paul Biya and his coterie. In such authoritarian settings, elections are just placards to legitimize the autocratic power of the junta. Elections are just shams and does not chose the government, for the junta does; and legislative bodies play little or no role. Political opposition parties are supposed to force the junta to either pay a higher cost for electoral fraud or public repression, but not contest to win elections. In fact, stealing elections in Cameroon has become too cheap for regime junta Paul Biya. The frequently asked question is why would anyone oppose an authoritarian junta like Paul Biya through elections if they are going to lose anyway? I would argue that the SDF contested and won the presidential election of 1992 that was stolen, but the SDF that won the presidential elections of 1992 is no more. The SDF is now a party without a defined program, and fully dependent on the personality of its chairman of 23 years Ni John Fru Ndi. The official opposition party is less of a threat to the junta Biya, because it now depends on the junta's largesse for survival. You cannot benefit from the largesse extorted from the people by a regime junta, and still play the role of a relevant opposition. Ni John Fru Ndi and Mbah Ndam have their tails between their legs, and should both resign for the good of the party. Let me repeat this again, opposition political leaders such as Ni John Fru Ndi and Mbah Ndam have their hands in the pockets of the person whose hands are in the till; they cannot look him in the face and called him the thief that he actually is. Other external factors affecting the performance of the SDF is the fragmentation of the opposition in Cameroon. The fragmentation of opposition political parties is the exact divide-and-rule tactics that play into the hands of regime junta Biya. Because most supporters of political parties in Cameroon give their loyalty to party leaders and not party ideology, it is difficult to coordinate the opposition under specific ideologies. Most of the time, parties are in the hands of elites who are the nemesis of democracy in Cameroon. Weak financial position, ethnic and regional loyalties; and just like the CPDM, these political opposition parties are democratic institutions without democrats. The internal failures of the SDF are where one should pay much focus. The CPDM led dictatorship in Cameroon has failed, but the SDF has also failed to provide clear, articulate, and coherent alternative policy options. Can anyone tell me what the position of the SDF is on issues such as the strike at the University of Buea, the Herakles Farms debacle, the mess at Fecafoot, youth unemployment, rising poverty, and the huge balance of trade deficits, just to mention a few. The SDF has not only failed to provide alternative policy directions, but also cannot tell the people of Cameroon how it can do things different from the CPDM. In fact, there is complete mistrust between all political parties and the public. This is not good for the SDF, as it needs the people's support to dislodge power from the regime. The nexus between all the failures of the SDF is its leadership. Like the CPDM, it is the blind leading the stupid, or the stupid leading the blind. Given that the man in the driver sit of the Cameroonian economy is old, worn-out, and blind, we do not need another old and blind person to replace him. That is why; Ni John Fru Ndi can never be the right choice to compete against Biya. The puppet Biya is there for 31 years, and he is SDF leader for 23 of those 31 years. While the party's constitution, ideology, symbols, membership, and organization are products the shape its competitiveness, party leadership is the single most important product. It is the most visible indication for what the party stands for, and what it is likely to deliver if voted to power. This is what Biya and Fru Ndi stand for-outdated leadership around retirees.  But almost 70% of Cameroon's population is youthful; an opportunity for leaders who look and feel like them. They need leaders who understand their demands, and not civil dictatorships. We need leaders who can isolate themselves from the corrupted crowd. Another leadership failure within the SDF is that because junta Biya controls patronage and precious state resources, opposition figures like Ni John Fru Ndi and Mbah Ndam have jumped ship, and are now political entrepreneurs servicing the hegemonic Cameroon Peoples Destructive Constructive Movement (CPDM). The leadership of the SDF has no ambitions, other than waiting for elections to extort part of the state largesse under junta Biya's control. Lastly, the SDF has no strategy to win power from the dictator Biya. Strategically, you cannot defeat an autocracy by vying for the same vote as the autocrat. In the political spectrum the CPDM canvass for votes from those in the center. Opposition strategies should be towards voters at the extremes; so it is important for opposition political parties to appeal to dissident groups, social movements, and protest demonstrations. It is also important for opposition political parties to build successful coalitions based on a common ideology, respect and trust. This coalition should be sealed behind close doors before coming out to the public to make statements. Recently, we all heard the news of opposition parties coming together; the public do not need this kind of information. Finish your negotiation behind close doors before making any announcements. I see these statements as a ploy by opposition political party to say to junta Biya, "you better bring in more money, because we are to form a strong coalition against you." The hegemony of the CPDM in Cameroon polity is as a result of electoral fraud, biased electoral rules, neo-colonial protection from France, voter repression and suppression, and the uneven access to state resources. But the docility of the Cameroon opposition led by the SDF to move away from their radical anti-status quo position to the status quo position. It will help to know that political parties that lack internal democracy are characterized by isolated and unchanging leadership; marginalized party members, and poor internal communication. This is where the SDF and CPDM find themselves. For opposition political parties to effectively challenge the junta Paul Biya's dictatorship, we all have to tell the old foxes, such as Ni John Fru Ndi to get lost.
