THEY LOVE THEIR FLAG MORE THAN SOUTHERN CAMEROONIAN LIVES!

Dear All,

Ever since the Southern Cameroons crisis intensified, we have never seen the kind of hate speech and intimidation that followed the burning of La Republique's flag. Those who make these hate speeches and threats want to show Southern Cameroonians how much they love their Republique du Cameroun! Well, well, well! Interestingly, many of these have never bothered to protest the treatment, not even of the Southern Cameroons flag, but of its peoples by their government. Here, you see clearly what is called the colonial mind-set. The colonial mind is that which believes that it has a right to a flag, but you don't; it has a right to a country, but you don't; it has a right to its symbols, but you don't and so on.

You show us how much you love your country, but you don't want us to love our own! You threaten to fight for your country, but you kill us for fighting for our own! Which is the greater crime, to burn a flag or to kill, murder, torture, rape, and finally confiscate the only space of existence of your neighbours?

You get so angry about a flag that is burnt. What should Southern Cameroonians do when your country would not even allow it to own or fly its own flag? What should Southern Cameroonians do when its citizens are being killed on a daily basis by your government; when its school girls, wives, mothers are being raped by your soldiers; when its citizens are being abducted, tortured and imprisoned in underground bunkers by your people? Should we compare our anger? If Southern Cameroonians were to see all the crimes your country is committing against its people, what should you suggest we do, given your anger at only the burning of your flag? How many times should your flag be burnt for it to be equal to the enormity of the crimes your country is committing against our own?

Dear human beings: Do onto others as you would have them do onto you!

Dear All,

Find attached education specifically meant for citizens of Republique du Cameroun, to help start preparing their minds for the inevitable.

It is vital that they move from emotional talk to rational talk and behaviour about the Southern Cameroons question.

I believe that only in this way can we diffuse the animosity and blind behaviour that we are likely to see, when the moment comes.
