Dear All,
1. There is a great danger in the Teachers and Lawyers accepting to talk to the regime in divided ranks. The regime's strategy is to divide the opinion and among Southern Cameroonians, get some to accept its proposals and thereby dislocate the movement. We are facing a terrible danger that if the regime defeats us through tricks this time, it would be extremely difficult for our momentum to build again.
2. What we ought to do urgently is name a team to talk to government. provide that team with our position on which it must stand and not bend. All groups invited to any talks should refer the colonial regime to that team we have named.
3. We have to learn from our past: the colonial regime has never respected any promises. It always uses promises only as a way to fool the ever-trusting Anglophones. And it will try to do that this time again! It can even grant everything you are asking, knowing that it will take nothing to take new decisions again to reverse everything. So in all talks our goal must be to take the decision-making powers concerning all our demands once and for all out of the hands of the colonial regime in Yaounde. This means separation.For there is no way Yaounde will have control over law, education and so on and we can ever hope to have any guarantees about our future.
4. Understanding the psychology of negotiations: I would very much prefer that we begin to communicate with the colonial regime only through writing. Why? Because there are some people who lose their minds when they sit before a crowd or officials. And the danger remains that once they are given wine and so on, which could be tainted, they can easily sign anything. Therefore we must not begin by sitting down: we communicate only in writing and determine the moment at which to sit down.
Atemnkeng.

We can only depend on official communiques from our leaders. Such reporting can be unnecessarily alarming.
