Many, including most social media activists, appear to be engaged in a struggle whose nature they do not understand. The driving force of this struggle so far has been the determination and sense of onenes of the people. Our greatest threat at the moment is not the regime, but the absence of a unified leadership. Without such a leadership, we would simply be wasting our time and energy fighting for a lost cause. I am surprised that Southern Cameroonians were expecting Paul Biya to come out and tell us that Cameroon is now a federal country or that Southern Cameroon was free to go her separate way. Hahaha. It has never happened before. The fruits of a liberation struggle are not automatic. In one of my early posts, I warned against too much excitement and the danger that this could cause the struggle. In another post - 20th December - I expressed my worries about the different and, sometimes, conflicting messages we were receiving from different groups involved in the struggle and the danger that this posed to our unity. Many are yet to understand the nature of a liberation struggle, especially of the non-violent kind in which we are now engaged. It should be an on and off affair because, for the sake of our children, there must be some semblance of normal life. Strategies must be worked out. Boycotts of events such as 11th February, 20th May and so on. Refusal to cooperate, especially when that corporation is needed most by our oppressor. Strikes at appropriate moments. Above all, there should be a focused leadership. Bear in mind that your attempt to gain your freedom is a threat to another person's 'freedom' to keep you under his or her control and to exploit you. How many prominent Francophones have come out in the open to deny that there is an Anglophone problem? Even some Anglophones have maintained that there is no Anglophone problem. But, all the evidence is there to prove that such a problem exists. This means that these denials stem from fear of losing something. What have we achieved so far? 1) Southern Cameroonians are more united than ever, since 1972. This unity is one of the greatest threats to the regime, which has always planted divisions among Anglophones. 2) The sensitisation has been a huge success. Even inhabitants of the most remote parts of Southern Cameroon know that we've been relegated by the regime to the status of second class citizens. 3)We've succeeded to identify the in-house enemies, fellow Southern Cameroonians who, for selfish reasons, have taken sides with the oppressor. What next? The real struggle begins now. All is set, but for the fact that the bandwagon cannot take off. We do not yet have a unified leadership. We do not yet have a spokesperson. There is the CONSORTIUM that was created to coordinate the strike. The very people who acknowledge the existence of a CONSORTIUM are the very ones who take their next move without consulting this body. So, why should we keep on deceiving ourselves? If you want to use a liberation struggle to project yourself, then you are as much of an enemy to the struggle as is the oppressor. An All Anglophone Conference (AAC III) is now a matter of urgency. Calls for this conference fell on deaf ears. We can't ignore these calls again. It's only from this body that we can select the best of the best to lead us in our struggle."

Subject: [AFOaKOM] Another Strategy; The COMMONWEALTH CARD
Attn: Southern Cameroonians in the DiasporaDear Komrades,LETS PLAY THE COMMONWEALTH CARD.I trust this message meets you doing just fine.Lets all keep figuring out strategies that could mount pressure on la republique.Herewith another strategy we in the diaspora could consider;Folks based in capital cities where the political power lies, i wish to encourage them to visit the following embassies; South Africa, Nigeria, Botswana, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana etc... and other influencial Commonwealth countries and try to meet the Ambassadors or Consular General for a one-on-one talks on the recent events showing pictures and videos. There might have been some actions taken at the Commonwealth HQs already but we are not seeing or still to see any consequences. Its all about putting pressure.Why is this important?1. la republique became a commonwealth member bc of Ambazonia.2. The same values that trigered la republique's acceptance into the union are the same values under attack.3. la republique is the most disrespectful memberstate of the union with a President who does not give a damn by actively participating during Heads of Govt Meetings but the same person has always been omnipresent during francophonie meetings.4. The way la republique's govt treats the citizens of Southern Cameroons is not different from the way this same govt interacts with Commonwealth issues.Fact; when govt talks down to a Hon. MP from Southern Cameroons using phrases like "your people are the ones who came to us (la republique)" or another phrase like "que-est que vous allez faire?" they are not only talking down to Southern Cameroons, they are equally talking down to Commonwealth itself. They do not only mean that desperate Southern Cameroons came to join them, they equally imply that it is the Commonwealth that came to them.Do your and let these Diplomats from Commonwealth member countries have to understand the points above. How could the Commonwealth be quiet when a member territory suffers from inhumane treatment?5. Let them understand that la republique's membership is just a scam because the english speaking regions get little or no benefits from the commonwealth since everything is diverted to la republique e.g. how many anglophones have been awarded scholarships from the commonwealth scheme compared to francophones? The flip side of the story is to know how many anglophones are beneficiaries of scholarships from the so called Francophonie if it even exist?The idea is that, after talking to the various Ambassadors, we expect them to report back to their various govts so that these govts would in turn be the ones to push for a review of la republiques membership in the union else the anglo saxon values will continue to be undermind or their contribitions to the union to foster anglo saxon values would continue to be diverted for purposes that contrary to their values.Its clear that some of the Ambassadors might not react, or they might refer you to their counterparts based in Yaounde but believe me that some would do something if they really understand what la republique is all about.Think about a scenerio where the Commonwealth starts questioning la republiques membership or better still to eject it off the union. Just envisage the kind of political ramifications this will triger. To be brief, my opinion is that the Ambazonia Republic would have been indirectly anointed if the Commonwealth of nations play fair game.I have forwarded this suggestion to friends in Canada for consideration. I have also been urging them to make use of the PM & La Rep. Head of Govt Philemon Yang recent past since he served for more than two decades as la republiques top diplomat in Canada and he should be well known in Canadian diplomatic circles. Therefore, it suffice just to singly print out those horrific pictures on A4 sheets for clearer view and distribute them to embassies in Ottawa and telling them that all the atrocities are taking place under the watch of their former colleague now la republique's Head of Govt.Bottom line, lets use all the resources at over disposal. If these suggestion makes any sense, kindly forward to others who might not be members of this house.Stay tuned!We keep in touch.
