No Anglophone Should Ever be Allowed in Etoudi – François Metterand to Paul Biya

Retired Archbishop Emeritus of Douala Cardinal Christian Tumi has made another stunning revelation about the status of Southern Cameroonians in a continuous fake union with LRC. The clergy who says France should be blamed for the present crisis, disclosed recently to the press that; it is a long standing rule in France that no Southern Cameroonian (‘Anglophone’) can be allowed to be President of the Cameroons.

The Cardinal accused France of seeking to make sure that LRC that constitute the majority in the illegal union, completely assimilate the minority Southern Cameroons population.

Former French President François Mitterrand is quoted by Tumi to have said to Paul Biya that, “jamais un anglophone a Etoudi.”

The phrase which reads in English as “no anglophone should ever be allowed in Etoudi”, which is the Cameroons presidential palace is a clear justification to the fact that any ambitious Southern Cameroonian hoping to become President of La Republique du Cameroon is merely doing political masturbation. Even if s/he succeeds, a ruthless coup d’etat must surely be staged under the supervision of Paris to eliminate him/her.

Everybody knows that Fru Ndi, Chairman of the main opposition SDF, won the Presidential election in 1992. Who organized the coup? It was Mitterrand and I am citing something French President François Metterand said. Tumi noted

“I was in Rome for the Synod of Bishops and the French embassy invited us for a reception; those of us who were from the French-speaking countries. So, I was there and one of the workers in the embassy approached me and asked me which country I came from. I told him that I was from Cameroon…he immediately told me: ‘We are very happy that you are assimilating the anglophones,’ which means that was the policy of France,” Tumi told the Press.

Do these revelations mean anything to those Southern Cameroonians who believe in a certain one and united Cameroon? How do those who seek for a two State Federation with a rotary President intend to get it, when their identity as a People who came into the fake Union with their own State is not even recognised in the Country? Is LRC now ready for dialogue on two State Federation?

France is very right to command that no Southern Cameroonian should ever be allowed in Etoudi. Of course, Buea cannot claim the rights of any equal union with Yaoundé, because there was none and has never been any. Therefore, no slave master can allow his own slave rule over his own household. If LRC could not honour the terms of her own unilaterally drawn 1961 Federal Constitution, how can Southern Cameroonians continue to think that they will even accept an internationally ratified Federal Constitution of absolute equality with them today?

This is a challenge for Ambalanders in this revolutionary voyage to fight to the end. Giving up at this juncture is equal to accepting full blown assimilation in which our identity as a DISTINCT PEOPLE in international history, politics and diplomacy shall be completely exterminated. Ambazonians of generation have the responsibility before history and the unborn generation to resist and completely reclaim their occupied State. Only then shall we be able to tell the story to our children not going to school now and the unborn children that, the educational sacrifices were truly not in vain.

He that fights and runs away, lives to fight another day.
