This will give us the international visibility, personality and status that the enemy has confiscated for more than five decades".
Good message Chairman Nfor Nfor. This is the answer to the cause. LRC knows that. Biya knows that. The world knows and is waiting for that. Copy your message to UN, AU, ACHPR, Diplomatic Corps in Yaounde.

--The Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC) Chairman's New Year address is a comprehensive, challenging and very insightful wake-up call to the people of the state of Southern Cameroons. Any citizen of this former UN self-governing state, illegally occupied, dominated, exploited and in the process of being assimilated by Cameroun Republic, member of the United Nations and African Union; any of them who still believes or hopes that s/he is at home where the ruler has their best interest at heart, are living in a fool's paradise. It is so because you are under foreign political rule - a regime which caters for the best interest of its state and people, not that of the occupied people and their children for generations unborn. Whereas, after World War II, under pressure, decolonization and independence of colonial peoples became international law, France and Britain - successors of colonial German Kamerun - left through the front door and sneaked in through the back door - France by means of the secret so called "Cooperation Accords", and Britain, through the false pretenses of "Independence by joining", With now hindsight, both schemes were designed to deprive the people of their unalienable right to sovereign independence - already for half a century.In a recent on line post, I submitted that, as long as the colonization of this state of six million people by Cameroun continues, Southern Cameroons aka Ambazonia Republic restorationists as well as peoples' rights advocates, will continue to blow the whistle on those responsible. Among them are, in descending order of responsibility:The United Nations - for breach of trust and dereliction of duty;The United Kingdom and France (former colonial masters, trusteeship authorities and permanent members of the Security Council) - for breach of trust, dereliction of duty and conflicts of interest;The African Union - for breach of duty and dereliction of duty;Republic of Cameroun - for the violation of international law governing the territorial integrity, occupation, domination, exploitation and assimilation of a state..Until these core issues are addressed, the victims of these acts and the international community of true freedom loving people and advocates will continue to blow a whistle on the perpetrators and those encouraging, aiding or abetting these crimes and torts - acts or ommissions which deprive more than six millions people and their issue of their fundamental rights as well as their unalienable right to govern themselves. On these facts, this right, specifically one of external self-determination, analogous to sovereign independence, is already settled law. This is pursuant to norms of international law. Among them, a case in point is the ruling on Communication 2002/2003 and the African Union Commission on Human and People's Rights' ruling of May 2009, ratified in July 2009 by the General Assembly of Heads of State of the African Union.Therefore, the remaining issue to be address is enforcement - blocked with sovereign impunity by the colonizer as well as the breach of duty of those charged with enforcement. In this matter, a case in point is that of Kuwait, invaded by IRAQ in 1991 on a similar frivolous rationale of reuniting two states with past historical ties. If the use of force was sanctioned by the international community to remove Iraq from Kuwait, why not, in the absence of asking for the use of force, demand at least, as recommended by the African Union, that Cameroun returns to the drawing board to make new constitutional arrangements to end the occupation. As in the matter of Iraq and Kuwait, its reason was because of the past historical ties - to reconstitute under its umbrella, a fictitious "one and indivisible fatherland (i.e. of German Kamerun).To do so at the back of six million people? The fact that the International Court of Justice at the Hague found the claim of Cameroun inadmissible regarding Northern British Cameroons, is compelling evidence to rebut the annexation argument of Cameroun over Southern Cameroons.I conclude with a discussion with a friend, an international relations expert (Me, He).Me: "On the above facts and authorities, why is it that what is good for the goose is not good for the gander".He: Iraq was flushed out of Kuwait, not because of love for kuwait, but because of its vast oil deposits;Gold which the Sheriffs who came to town had and wanted to continue to have privileged access.Me: Really? I naively inquired?He: Really, he echoed.Me: Did those who advocated for Southern Cameroons independence not guarantee to them unhampered access to its own natural resources - including oil and natural gas?He: No. They were not able. They would have had to account to the people and to the Director of Audit.Me: Why?He: Because the state of Southern Cameroons was a democracy from 1954 to 1961 when Britain, in spite of the UN, forced it to choose. It opted for "independence by joining" - a coded phrase for "independence by annexation" by former French Cameroun - instead of Nigeria, which was within the British sphere of influence. So that those interested in Southern Cameroons as a booty, would not have unfettered access to them?Me: Really?He: No. Yes, Yes, Yes. .Me: You confuse me. That's why Southern Cameroons was colonized at independence?That is why it is dominated, exploited and being assimilated?He: Of Course what is a colony- if not for exploitation; where you make hay while the sun shines.Me: I surrender. I will re-read that speech - maybe it will help me understand you better.G. AchuMaster of Laws (LLM), Int'l legal studies;

[Attachment(s) from Bri Soucam included below]MESSAGE TO THE PEOPLE OF BRITISH SOUTHERN CAMEROONS FOR THE NEW YEAR
2015, BUEA, BY NFOR NGALA NFOR, SCNC NATIONAL CHAIRMAN.
FELLOW SOUTHERN CAMEROONIANS,
MY DEAR COMPATRIOTS,
I count it an honour, to extend to you, individually and collectively,
my wishes for a happy and prosperous New Year 2015. It is by God's
grace and mercy that we the living are privileged to welcome and
celebrate the New Year.
In sending to you my warm and fraternal greetings I challenge us all
to look up and depend on God, to rededicate our lives to Him. I call
on you to love one another. Let the fraternal bonds of unity, of being
your brother's keeper be renewed and strengthened. I call on you to
reconcile and love each other for in love and confidence we can do
great things.
The year 2014 was an eventful year but all the same with its ups and
down. Learning from our mistakes and failures we must in confidence
and with God of justice on our side move forward in renewed spirits.
As we move into the New Year, let the evil spirit of individualism,
self-seeking, greed and treachery be buried. Traitors never win
against their people!
To imbue the spirit of patriotism in the young let us build strong
families where love, care, sacrifice, sense of belonging and hard work
condition and direct our everyday life and relationships.
Until you love, you cannot care. Until you care, you cannot share and
sacrifice what you value. Until we lovingly and dutifully share and
sacrifice, we cannot build the sense of belonging that makes the
family a reference point for the child, the mother and the father, not
only to turn to, but to run to for safety, security, comfort and unity
which in itself is strength and sacrifice if need be.
A people that love, care and believe in themselves are focused and
lead a purposeful life. To live a purposeful life is to be an
achiever. This calls for hard work, sacrifice, duty consciousness,
honesty and open mindedness. To be an achiever is to work in synergy
with others. This is what strengthens the bonds of unity and sense of
belonging. Man is a community man. And this spirit is put in man by
His Creator who from the beginning said "let us make man in our
image."
To lead a purposeful life is to be an achiever. And to be an achiever
is to be an agent of change. Meaningful change, change that transforms
must begin from your family. Building a strong, united and progressive
family where love, caring for one another and selflessness are the
cords that bind, is laying the required solid foundation for a strong,
united and progressive nation.
The Creator in His infinite wisdom sent you here on mission. You are
neither here by your will power nor by accident.
Standing on the edge of the New Year 2015, you must ask yourself, who
am I? Am I an agent of change for my family? Am I an agent of change
for my society and my people? Let us resolve to make 2015 a year of
HOPE FOR THE NEW DAWN!
To be an agent of change you must out of absolute necessity discover
who you are and where you belong. Some of us have been grouping in the
dark pretending to be who we are not. Such suffer from
victim-mentality making them slaves of circumstances.
Change does not come to a people by accident, people work for the
change they most need. This is to enable them occupy their ordained
and deserved place in history.
This requires that the people must know their history, stand in their
history and in analysis compare themselves with others and see where
on the ladder of human progress they stand vis-à-vis their compatriots
of yesterday.
My Dear Fellow Southern Cameroonians!
The lessons of history are inescapable. Not to remain victims of our
ugly past that has made Southern Cameroonians a stateless people calls
for a courageous and purposeful frontal confrontation of the status
quo for the change we most need.
The stark reality is that which does not call for panel beating. It
calls for total rejection of the subhuman status imposed on us. To
play games of seeking personal favours, of betraying your kinsmen for
cheap popularity, of singing and dancing to the coloniser's music of
divide and rule, of tribalism and north west - south west divide is to
perpetuate our subhuman status and statelessness.
Those harping on the North West - South West dichotomy should first
ask who practically created a north west and a south west? From what
legal entity did he create these units and why? In whose interest did
he balkanise the legal - political entity depriving it of its
territorial unity and equal international personality?
The ills of our past imposed to decapitate us as a people demand
positive action from a united force to shape our destiny. This calls
for men and women of potent ideas, of vision and courage to join
forces with the masses that are hungry and thirsty for freedom. We
must not live in our past. We must live in the present and work for a
better future. While we cannot change our past, we have the capacity
to shape our future by correcting the current dehumanising situation
in which we find ourselves. Remember, you can't win alone and you
can't win by treachery!
No nation is built on individualism, self-centredness, tribalism,
corruption, indiscipline, nepotism and no people can master their
destiny by working to perpetuate foreign domination and alien rule.
Southern Cameroonians do not suffer from dependency-complex. Even
before colonial rule we had capable and dynamic rulers. Under white
colonial rule we had the likes of Fon Achirimbi, Chief Nyenti, P.M.
Kale and those who declared Benevolent Neutrality in Nigerian politics
and gave up their rights and privileges remain green in our minds.
These are great leaders, patriots, nationalists, heroes; men of valour
whose examples should inspire us rise and act resolutely to put an end
to our statelessness.
Neo-apartheid under la Republique du Cameroun cannot and must not
decapitate and incapacitate us into rotten maggots fit for the hawks.
We are worth more! That is why the struggle for national rebirth,
national restoration by seeking the political kingdom first must not
only be on the rail, the New Year 2015 calls for national solidarity
and intensification of the struggle. None but us are the rightful
owners of this land.
For a subjugated people fighting for their rightful place in human
history, what is important and relevant is not your place of birth; it
is not from where you come, it is doing what is doable that matters to
the cause of national emancipation and freedom. It is doing what is
legitimately and legally right to disable the enemy that transforms
and builds conditions for the change the people need.
For a people to occupy their rightful place in human history they must
have the capacity to defend who they are and who they are not. We must
not idle about while the annexationist makes the defense of TRUTH,
LEGITIMACY and LEGALITY a crime in our land. Like South Africans we
must confront the criminal and the crime head-on.
To end neo-apartheid rule, statelessness, foreign domination and alien
rule and put Southern Cameroonians on the path of progress, our
immediate task is to oust the occupier of our land and restore our
government in our national capital, Buea. This will give us the
international visibility, personality and status that the enemy has
confiscated for more than five decades.
We are committed to recapturing the political kingdom and establishing
a federal system of government, which with multiple centres of
decision making will engineer broad based participatory democracy an
enabling environment for equitable development to enhance human
dignity and freedom. Having suffered terribly from neglect,
underdevelopment and naked exploitation, development to empower the
human person must be the focal point of governance under the new dawn.
In the New Southern Cameroons both the Counties and Local Governments
will be effective centres of development thanks to the autonomy and
financial empowerment each will constitutionally enjoy. This will
create multiple centres of employment; enable different communities to
build capacities of self-sustainable development and citizens to
attain self-fulfillment. This is what we mean by equitable
development. This will be a government at the service of the people to
empower the people and not a government of exploiters, oppressors,
torturers to dehumanise the people we have suffered for more than half
a century.
The draconian laws, evidence of the last kicks of a dying horse,
Yaoundé regime has just enacted should surprise no one and create no
panic whatsoever. The white minority regimes in South Africa and
Zimbabwe did things. Rather than create despondency, such anti-people
measures fired greater nationalism and spirit of non-compromise in the
oppressed.
The lesson for us is simple: the more we delay, the more the
annexationist regime will sink its fangs and claws into our flesh and
life blood and reducing us to carcasses empty our land of its natural
wealth. By expediting the restoration of our statehood we assure
Yaoundé that our land is so holly for terrorists to find sanctuary so
those draconian laws are for the land and people who have known
terrorism
The future is great, bright and promising for each Southern
Cameroonian. This should challenge and inspire us to unite and build a
great nation for our children. This is our challenge, our patriotic
duty which we cannot afford to delay any further.
I wish you all a Happy and prosperous New Year, good health, wisdom to
realise the change we most need and God's blessings of long life to
enjoy the fruits of our labour.
