What Next?
So many people are asking me what next after the communique from Cameroun Presidency indicating that some of our compatriots have been released. We can only ask what next if something has been done. However, in order to avoid giving the same answers to individuals in Whatsapp and Messenger let me attempt a clear answer. What next.
Considering that the struggle started due to some fundamental issues affecting our land which none has been addressed as of date:It never started because our people were abducted. Abductions and unlawful arrest were distractions. They were only La Republique moves to weaken us and make us bow. But we stayed united, determined and resisted the enemy. Now the enemy in an attempt to force School Resumption after seeing there is no head way goes ahead to release those that he abducted without any iota of remorse after illegally preventing them from their fundamental rights. Besides only three are known to be out soon without the hundreds in jail. Abductions continue in Bamenda and elsewhere as I write.
So what next is below:
1. Release All Abducted and NOT FEW.
2. Stop the current abductions less we go back to point one and the remaining points below become useless
3. Demilitarised Southern Cameroons
4. Ensure the safe return of refugees back home (Lawyers, teachers plus civilians who left)
5. Account for those missing as indicated by Cameroun own Human Right Commission.
6. Uplift the ban of the Consortium so that jailed released leaders can freely engage less they just become quiet with no impact
7. Apologise to all those killed by La Republique Military. These parents need to feel their children to rest in peace.
8. Call A Genuine and Frank Dialogue with all Southern Cameroons stakeholders to discuss the outstanding root causes as prescribed by UN. Fear no proposals. The government must now talk on a round table.
And
9. Once a genuine dialogue commence, the Southern Cameroons Leadership signs a truce ordering courts and schools shutdown be suspended as they look into the outstanding root causes while suspending Ghost Towns. Our leadership know what the people want and they will as decreed by the Consortium 14th January, 2017 communique push through a referendum to cement Biya’s own 1995 declaration in France that he will call for a referendum. Recall that a referendum is the only peaceful means to end this saga otherwise as warned by the CIA in 1984 an arm struggle is inevitable.
Take Note:
Without the above being done, Southern Cameroons will remain ungovernable
Therefore, what next now is that: Ghost Towns Continue, schools and courts remained shut down.

Fully agreed Mark. We don’t stop now. We want a referendum under the supervision of AU and UN. We Ambazonians shall be free.
We need more comments. Come on Ambazonians, let’s try to convince at least 2 others to contribute to SCACUF at home or abroad, let’s keep the momentum at full speed. I will adopt a teacher and lawyer today. Thanks
I have an pre-authorized monthly payment. You just energized me I’m doing an extra 50 box now
Mark: I truly believe that your head no correct! And you are a disguised traitor in the same back-stabbing league as Dr. Munzu and Benjamin Itoe.
You always seem to fool us to believing that you are one of us, only for you to switch gear and start making arguments that put us within the context of being camerounian and hoping for life in cameroun…if only we can work things out. Right? Ya mami!
I would not be surprised to discover that you are one generation removed from La Republic. Your grand parents or great grand parents or somewhere along your ancestry came from cameroun. That is the impression a lot of people get from you. I was having lunch with some people today and they all were saying the same things about you. Swine!
You, who a few days ago and against the run of play, became the promoter of a Beti poisonous son of a bitch journalist called Simon Atangana and presenting him to us like our brothers, even though he is one we should love to hurt. Is Simon Ateba your cousin or contri man?
I have no La Republic ancestry, by land or spirit.
Be careful!
Atem,I feel the energy. I tried to understand the Ateba posting from all angles but could not. Also, I missed the point in Mark saying that Biya should restore 1972….instead of 1961…. SCACUF says she will meet with lrc in the presence of a 3rd party – UN etc. Mark has to be consistent. Infact, every has to be consistent the way we articulate our demands. Mark is doing a great job but do better.
I appreciate you Mark for trying to answer the questions on our minds. It should be noted that lots of people are already preparing to resume school etc. However I think the consortium should come up with a public statement to clear the air for our people.
Consortium or no consortium, Bareta or no Bareta,schools start on Monday. Train your children and deceive anglophones Cameroonians to ruin the future of their children. We say NOOOOO.
I fully agree on all those points. La republic should now know that it cannot make shortcuts as the Southern Cameroonians have identified themselves with who are their legitimate leadership: the ones that truely represent them that are designed by SCACUF NOT ANY of his CRONIES.
I dont really know what mark did that alot of people are gertting so pissed off with him well as for me am praying for things to be better in our region and so we all should be in a very peacful environment where we can do what ever we want without fear i believe in change and it would come lets exercise some more patience
Any school resumption, lawyers return to courts or dialogue must be preceded by the release of all those imprisoned, an account rendered of all those missing and our counties demilitarized. The round table dialogue between La Republique and Leaders of Southern Cameroons Governing council should take place on neutral ground in the presence of a 3rd party Period. Anything short of these is null and void. Welcome home the released but my advice is that whatever you do you must follow the leadership of SCACUF and the Governing Council. Any attempt to work with La Republique without the authority of SCACUF or AGC, will warrant reprisal from the people and we shall treat you as traitors like La Republique. If you cannot do this best thing will be to stay off and have your peace.
It has come too late,our regions are militarised,the regime is untrustworthy, we will never go back to be ruled by lying, terrorist, thieving, corrupt, marginalised LRC,let no single naive SCs see this decree as a favour, they should not have been in jail in the first place, what about those killed, still in jail for freedom of speech?why have those brutal military personnels who committed atrocities not punished in that same military courts? we must not forget 56 years of oppression from this colonial boys and his wicked bunch of puppets, independence all the way!
You are very correct mark we want a referendum under the supervision of AU and UNO that is the only solution for AMAZONIAN TO BE FREE
Tim did I hear you said school starts on Monday? Give buffoon biya a victory he does not deserve? Excuse me, you must be delusionary and should have your head examined.
By Pompidou Mensah stop using my email address to insult people. Isaiah Fomunyam thanks.
So what about those who were raped, brutalized and dehumanized? Moreover, why are some already talking about celebrating the release of our people? Are we implying that Biya has done them a favour? On the contrary, at this juncture, the question should be for Biya to explain precisely what were the crimes of supreme court judge Aya Paul, Barrister Nkongho Felix, Dr Fontem Neba, Mancho Bibixy and all the other victims who were ferried to Yaounde or those who are presently locked up at several unknown dungeons all over Southern Cameroons or LRC.
Let us not forget that there are mothers who have lost their children as a result of this madness from Biya. Hence this is not time to talk of celebration but rather it is time to hold Biya accountable for his adventurism in Southern Cameroon. This is the only way that we will make sense of Enough is Enough of this madness from LRC so that they will realize that we are fighting for the restoration of our stolen independence and have and will never be a foot stool of LRC.
I tell you people. We cannot trust that regime. LRC has fooled as many times. In the early nineties they promised us a “decentralisation” and a “referendum”. What came out? Nothing. The aim of Biya and his cronies are to distract us. Therefore our fight must continue. DON’T BE A FOOL. NO SCHOOL RESUME NEXT MONDAY. KEEP UP THE PRESSURE.
the hard way is the only way .l say no retreat no surrender. we must succeed
