French Cameroun do not have monopoly of violence.
One of the things proponents of one Cameroon always bring up during debates is how we don’t have the right to constantly propose our legitimate demands to the government of Cameroun purely because they can’t give that to us through genuine dialogue and an atmosphere of peace and we can only get that through a war. They think we must always subject ourselves to fear and accept whatever la Republique du Cameroun dictate to us.
I just want to state the Czechcoslovakia was not divided into Czech Republic and Slovakia through war. Their leaders sat and discussed and decided to split the two countries in peace in what was known then as the velvet revolution. However, if we are going to be forced to settle for second class citizenship purely because one party has arms that they can always use to kill our people, I want to state that this is incorrect. The people of Haiti didn’t accept to remain slaves to France on grounds that they are going to be massacred.
We are not going to remain slaves to La Republique du Cameroun and they should know that they don’t have monopoly of violence. As proven elsewhere in Africa, marginalised groups always find ways to defend themselves in the long run and resistance always lead to victory.

Well said, Dr. Rex Nting. If the francophone regime thinks that it has monopoly over the means of violence, I have news for it; it is very ignorant of history, and it will be one of the intellectual retardation of this primitive regime that will hasten its demise.
Thank you for the article. We must understand that insecurity always breed contempt. LRC knows better if only they can still remember why Ahidjo unilaterally decided to decommission the “Mobile Wing Force” of Southern Cameroon. The discipline and tactical prowess of the “Mobile Wing Force” was too intimidating compared to the terrorist force of LRC that we have today. This is what gave Ahidjo sleepless night and which was the main reason why Bassa’s and Bamileke’s who escaped to Southern Cameroon could not be pursued by the terrorist army of LRC.
Biya should know better than think that we will just roll over and play dead.
All structures for our Mobile Wing Police Department are in place. Small no be sick!!! One of us then could take down twenty of them. Now twenty of them are called in to take down one unarmed Southern Cameroon civilian. Watch the pictures in Bamenda how twenty of them banded together to beat up one unarmed Southern Cameroonian. Shame lrc !!!
