I don't know exactly what grade of kwandang you've been smoking of late that has tchakalla your brain to this extent. Gravitate from the elementary S N Tita history book that was perambulated into your over-active cerebellum and start reading real Southern Cameroons history from "historians" like yours truly Mishe Fon to understand the fusion between West and East Cameroon. After acquainting yourself of the basic facts that precipitated the now abortive union, then you can come back and lets start the real debate. But b4 that, stop the use of that crude type of bangah that you may have been smoking.

Yes, Anglophone Cameroon and not Southern Cameroon has the right to self-determination. Some strategic thinkers like myself, knew long time ago that framing the Anglophone problem as a secessionist and irredentist cause was the wrong objectives and will give regime junta the opportunity to strike. Our fight is for equitable access to national power and wealth among all marginalized groups in Cameroon. Even if Anglophone Cameroonians plan to secede, the first step should be self-determination, whereby they share the spoils from natural resources and taxes with the Central government. Every region that has fought for secession, had an army or militia who are salaried to defend the nation. By 2012, South Sudan had 90,000 paramilitary including more than 740 Generals. So those comparing the beleaguered secessionist movement in Cameroon with South Sudan should re-read their history notes. The South Sudan defense force led by General Paulino Matiep was courted by SPLA leader Kiir, and the two forces fought a great war for independence. Also, note that South Sudan already had self-determination, and oil revenue was shared 50-50 with Khartoum. Moreover, each South Sudanese soldier was paid $150 per month. Anglophone Cameroon must fight for its self-determination within the Republic of Cameroon.

Subject: [Cameroon Group] Government Should Respect Southern Cameroonians Rights To Self Determination- ACHPR
AFRICAN UNION REACTS IN A BIG STYLE. OPENLY DECLARES THAT SOUTHERN CAMEROONS HAS ...THE RIGHT TO SELF DETERMINATION AS ENSHRINED IN THE AFRICAN CHARTER, AFTER ADMITTING THE CASE WE FILED AT THE COMMISSION IN BANJUL, GAMBIA.
Indeed, our Struggle has been heard and seen in higher places.
Government Should Respect Southern Cameroonians Rights To Self Determination- ACHPR
Below is the Press Release of the African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights. It reads:
The African Commission on Human and Peoples' Rights (the Commission) continues to follow closely the deteriorating human rights situation in Cameroon, State Party to the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights (the African Charter) caused by the ongoing protests in the English speaking North West and South West regions of the country.
The Commission's Country Rapporteur for Cameroon and Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders in Africa, Hon. Commissioner Reine Alapini-Gansou, is deeply concerned by the deteriorating human rights situation in Cameroon, in particular: killings of civilians; the deployment of armed military personnel, special security forces (BIR) and war machines to these two regions; the disproportionate and deathly use of force and violence to dispel peaceful and unarmed Lawyers, Teachers, Students, civilians and protesters in Bamenda, Buea and Kumba; the raping of students in Buea; the arbitrary arrests, detention and merciless beatings orchestrated by the police, gendarmerie, military and the BIR following strikes and protests that have been going on since October 2016.
The Special Rapporteur has received information that the strikes and protests are allegedly provoked by what has been dubbed, "the Anglophone problem," due to discontented Anglophone Lawyers, Teachers and Civil Society in English speaking Cameroon legitimately and peacefully seeking a halt to: the gradual, but systematic destruction and obliteration of the Common Law Legal System and the Anglosaxon System of Education; the marginalisation and neglect by the administration of Cameroon of the two English speaking regions of Cameroon; and the return to Federal system of governance.
The Special Rapporteur is particularly concerned about the alleged deaths of more than nine (9) Cameroonians during the protests in Bamenda, Buea and Kumba, and the allegations that the Government is planning mass arrest, kidnappings and assassination of leaders of Lawyers' associations, Teachers' unions, Civil Society and human rights defenders as a means to thwart the Anglophone cause.
The Special Rapporteur condemns very strongly the alleged use of disproportionate force against civilians, the violent and deathly suppression of peaceful demonstrators and calls on the Government of the Republic of Cameroon to:
1. Investigate the alleged killings, rapes, inhumane treatment and human rights violations on peaceful protesters by the riot Police, elements of the gendarmerie, the military and the (BIR) in Bamenda, Buea and Kumba;
2. Immediately end the alleged violence against civilians and take necessary steps to ensure that the human rights of its citizens and all its inhabitants are respected;
3. Uphold the right to freedom of expression, assembly, the right to peaceful protest and ensure the security of its citizens, as provided by the African Charter;
4. Cease all arbitrary arrests and detention; and
5. Release all individuals unlawfully arrested during the protest.
The Special Rapporteur would like to remind the Cameroonian authorities of their obligations to guarantee fundamental rights, including the right to life, the right to freedom of assembly, association and expression as well as the right to self-determination as provided in Articles 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 20 of the African Charter.
The Special Rapporteur also calls on the international Community to look into the matter and support the Government of Cameroon in the peaceful resolution of the "Anglophone problem"; by encouraging genuine and inclusive dialogue between the Government of Cameroon and the Cameroon Common Law Lawyers, Teachers, and Civil society in the Anglophone regions and other such bodies established to resolve the issue.
The Special Rapporteur will continue to monitor developments in the Northwest and Southwest regions of Cameroon and calls on the African Union to contribute towards the effective realization of human and peoples' rights in the country as a whole.
Done in Banjul-The Gambia, 13 December 2016.
Honourable Commissioner Reine Alapini-Gansou
Country Rapporteur for Cameroon and Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders in Africa
