Dear Comrade JAI have read your report with admiration for the stance you are taking.We have been tricked by LRC since 1961. In actual fact, Law No. 24/61 establishing the so-called"La Republique Federale du Cameroun" was debated exclusively by the Parliament of La Republique du Cameroun in August 1961, passed, and promulgated by President Ahidjo on 1st Sept 1961 in his capacity as President of LRC, a whole month before the British trust mandate over Southern Cameroons ended at midnight on 30th Sept 1961.That Law was not debated, passed and promulgated by the expatriate Commissioner for Cameroons who then represented the British Govt in Southern Cameroons. Law No 24/61 concerned only the state and People of the geographical entity which assumed the name of LRC at its independence on 1 Jan 1960. LRC Law No. 24/61, promulgated by President Ahidjo on 1 Sept 1961, was merely a change of name of LRC (just like a change of shirt, while the individual person wearing it remains the same person).The UN Charter Art 102 which LRC was subject to from the date it was admitted a member of the UN on 20 Sept 1960 provides that any union of a member state of the UN to some other territory was to be evidenced by a written Agreement signed by both parties, and a copy of the said Agreement filed at the UN Secretariat. There is no such Agreement at the UN Secretariat, thus confirming that there has never been a legal union between the two Cameroon parties.For the Hon Minister to say he does not wish to discuss "Federalism" is a clear admission that LRC has annexed Southern Cameroons who attained the status of independence on 1 Oct 1961 pursuant to UN General Assembly Res. 1608(XV) of 21 Apr. 1961 It is that independence which has been suppressed by LRC which has annexed Southern Cameroons as part of its own territory.There is no way the Lawyers or Teachers complaints can be solved without Southern Cameroonians first asserting their fundamental right to self-determination. If the striking Southern Cameroon parties surrender to LRC, this would be another unpardonable blunder on their part because as a permanent minority, there is no way LRC cannot amend the Constitution of "their" country LRC to the permanent disadvantage of annexed Southern Cameroons.The strike action should be vigorously sustained, unless LRC agrees to Arbitration presided over by the UN/AU, as promised by President Ahidjo that Southern Cameroons and LRC would form a Federation of 2 states EQUAL in Status. Where is the state of Southern Cameroons now?Greetings, and I wish you all a Happy New Year.MolaOn Thu, Dec 29, 2016 at 12:47 AM, Julius Acham <achamj07@gmail.com> wrote:

BARISTA EYAMBE clears the air for our leaders.
We see Plan A, B,C and..... hidden plans at work.
I am minded to give you a synopsis of what has transpired since the setting up of this ad hoc committee by the prime minister. You all know those who were named in the committee and how Mela and Fall a were left out. On the 24th I received a call from an attaché in the prime minister's office informing me of our inclusion in the list. I considered it a non event. Because of the teachers meeting in bamenda on the 27th a consortium meeting was summoned for the 26th. I left my family on Christmas day traveled to buea and met Balla and we both left for Bamenda at 8.30 pm. We arrived bamenda at 5pm. We had a heated meeting that lasted almost 8 hrs. It was in the said meeting that the consortium agreed that we should attend the ad hoc committee meetings in Bamenda and Yaounde but with guidelines. We were to table a preliminary objection on certain issues and stage a walk out. Gentlemen you all saw the communique. We were asked by the teachers to be part of an enlarged meeting with the teachers who had some issues to sought out. Because the meeting rose late the communique of the consortium could not be ready that same day. We had to travel to Yaounde early morning at 3 am. The ad hoc meeting started late because we arrived late and those who were there informed the minister that the meeting can not start without I and Balla. When the meeting commenced we raised the PO agreed on by the consortium orally because we could not have the written resolution of the consortium. All common law lawyers spoke on the PO like one man. We told the minister the meeting can not continue until the composition of the committee is adjusted to our satisfaction, the children who are under arrest release unconditionally, the ban on Mela, Fakla and Nowela uplifted and many others.
The meeting rose for a break because the minister wanted to make some consultations. We could not stage a walk out as planned because the government was bending towards our pressure. We were in contact with the other members of the consortium with regards to the situation.
Upon resumption the minister said the government was ready to give us our demands except federation. Meanwhile we were presented with an agenda which we amended to be able to raise the PO. The minister kept insisting on going ahead with the agenda. I am the one who kept on hammering the fact that in our Anglo Saxon tradition once a po is raised, the threshold issues must be ascertained before we can move forward. I move for the meeting to be adjourned to a further date until when this issues had been resolved. Gentlemen the minister got upset and asked me not to speak again until the end. Pressure now came from the others.
The minister excused himself for 20 mins.
Upon return he conceded to my motion but pleaded that we adjourn to this morning. As I post there are words that the children arrested and taken to Yde are being released.
When we resume today, we have our next plan of action which I can not post here for security reasons.
Gentlemen I took this pains to give you these details because I want you to trust and believe in your leaders.
The strike continues and there are no plans to call it off despite the fact that the government seems to be playing into our game. We shall soon get on the negotiations table where the topic will be FEDERALISM.
Aluta Continua.
