Re: Cameroon’s Anglophone Crisis at the Crossroads -Intl. Crisis Group.

Massa Nyam-Nkoue
Give credit where one is due. The International Crisis Cgroup has come up with a report about the "Anglophone or Southern Cameroon Crisis that none of us "So-Called Intellectuals" could dare. It is a well crafted research material. Flaws? Of course, there are some like is normal with any research material. But to give a blanket condemnation on work you probably have not even perused is the height of hypocrisy typical of our "Elites". I encourage you to "Google" the document; then read its entirety before drawing epidemic conclusions. I Mishe Fon, have even gone as far as downloading the document and printed it in a book format which I can send to you FOC. It is much more responsible to cast aspersions when you know the heck what you are talking about than blanket abracadabra postulations. The truth, and judging from your myopic interpretation, I dare posit that you have not READ the brilliant write up from the International Crisis Group on the Southern Cameroons problem (September 2016 - July 2017).. I will therefore give you benefit of the doubt to come clean by presenting a cogent, comprehensive, mature, honest and even Journalistic approach in your eventual analysis. Don't be quick to rush to tangential and biased navigational jaundiced enormities when you don't know the heck what you are talking about. Before you condemn, have your facts handy to defend your thesis. Na all that.
