SDF MPs Protest Song and the Call of the Interim President of Ambazonia
The Interim President (IP) of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia, Sissiku Ayuk Julius Tabe has once again called on all Southern Cameroons MPs still in La Republique’s Parliament to heed to the voices of their people and relocate to Buea, in a replay of the 1954 events in the Eastern Regional House of Assembly, Enugu, Nigeria. This is a decision history demands of them at the moment, and they must do it while they still have the choice to do so. This call is contained in a one page letter dated 23 November, 2017, and addressed to the Ambazonian MPs, both SDF and CPDM.
The IP began his letter, by describing as historic, the action of the the SDF MPs – taking to the floor of the hemicycle to intone Amba protest songs. He congratulated the SDF Lawmakers (who are largely Southern Cameroonians) for the dramatic display yesterday, but also called on them to do more. He reminded them that, “the events of 1st October, 2017, were a stark reminder that, as leaders, they have been deserted by their people in the inhospitable land called the Republic of Cameroun. If the Lawmakers are still in the service of their constituents, they will muster the courage to follow their constituents’ demands”
The IP also assured them of his administration’s position “… that once our MPs formally tender their resignation, a Sergeant-at-arms will receive the credentials of ALL of them who choose to leave Yaoundé and assume their rightful place in the people’s house in Buea. The longer they wait, the more Tue risk they expose their people to; incivility, mayhem, extortion and savagery…”It is pertinent to state that only two Southern Cameroons MPs, Hons. Joseph Wirba of Jakiri Special Constituency and Fusi Namukong of Bafut-Tubah Constituency, have heeded the call from their people not to return to Yaoundé.
During the staged drama by the SDF MPs at the Hands-Clapping assembly yesterday, one of the protest songs that resonated in the half burnt building was;
Toda…………….y (2x)
Today may be the last day, we don’t kno………w.
Were the MPs just singing a song or they were actually passing the message in the song? If they were just singing a song, then, they may need to watch and listen to themselves again and get clearly the message behind their own song. But if they were actually passing across the message in the song, then, BaretaNews wishes to call on them to once more listen to the voices of their constituents and take advantage of this repeated call from the IP to relocate to the Federal Capital of Ambazonia, Buea. They have done more than enough to show the world that they care for their constituents and need genuine and sincere dialogue to address the outstanding causes of this crisis. The colonial government and its officials have equally done more than enough to show the world that they are not ready for any form of dialogue with Southern Cameroonians. So why continue to stay in their Parliament and expose your people to more danger from the occupational forces.
Today, may be the last call for the MPs to pull of LRC, we don’t know.

Great works Mr. Mark, this forum has continually feed us with every updates happening in Ambaland.
We want us brothers out of jail. The MPs should boycott Yaounde and demand for the release of all Anglophones in their prison.
If by Monday, November 27, 2017, no concrete steps such as releasing all our children and fathers from prison, withdrawing all Lrc military from Ambasonia, all SDF parliamentarians should leave for BUEA. They did it once, they should do that NOW. Enough is ENOUGH.
stupid people, you pack your bags and go back to Cameroon also. Will you put food on the table for the families of the MPs?
I even see adverts of LRC on this website ads of calling to LRC which comes down to one thing ‘MONEY’ why can’t Bareta stop running adverts for LRC? HYPOCRITES
You are very stupid. I hope only you are talking from a French man perpective. This is what we are fighting for. I believe your father is one of the MP’s and how I wish you had lost a love one or even being brutalize by the military.
It’s a troll. Neglect.
Mr. ‘bassa song’, what is your problem???
Only when they are in Buea singing “… Ambazonian land of freedom …” will I give them respect.
Our MPs should resign from lrc paliament and re-assemble in Buea. Their delay can only slow our progress. They have less than a year to repressent us. Their mandates expire in Sept next year. For someone to suggest that they stay for food is not the thinking of a SCian. SCians are not driven by food in this life. That mindset of food dictates what you do can only be lrc mind, for them is eat until you feel food in your throat. No rational thinking. Its all about food for them. We call them chop broke pot. They have sucked us dry of our resources and can not imagine life without us. They will only learn to accept that we are gone.
Yes
The time is now
Dear MP’s of Southern Cameroons, what shall it profit a man if he can gain the whole world and his people are suffering and crying in agony and sorrows. Has money and egoism attitude blinded your eyes from seeing and accepting the truth?
Because of position, power and money, our forefathers landed us in this mess. Instead of you to right the wrongs of your father’s, hell no. Now the younger population are in the struggled to remedy your errors and the least you could do is to stand by them. So, the time is now if you (the MP’s) wants to gain your people’s trust and love back.
Do what our forefathers did while at Eastern House of Assembly at Enugu – Nigeria. That is all we ask.
God bless Ambaland
Amen
It is time because a start was needed and the start is in the right direction,in the place, at the right time by the right people,law makers. Let them recall what LRC has done to them from_ —–. They should not delay the start of our school year for we are withholding the children pending January 2018.LEADERS let’s keep on in prayers as our plans are laid.
Sisiku is correct. All MPs shall go home.
Yes
If this “aganakoh” Cavaye Djibril can order the stoppage of proceedings just because SDF members dare to protest against the status quo, do we still need to be telling them to stop going to Yaoundé? Actions speak louder than words.
SDF MPs Cavaye has said it all. Stop wasting your time and do the right thing by returning to Buea.
They cannot read the hand writing on the wall.. even somebody who has never gone to school will understand the meaning of the silent attitude that was shown to them when they demanded to discuss the problem that is going on in the 2 Southern CameroonsrCameroons region.
I am very surprised that someone as learned as the IP is making a call for MPs to resign when he has not yet provided guarantees for their security. There are thousands of LRC forces in the Ambazonian land, so forming a new parliament will not be possible. As soon as the SDF MPs resign they will be labeled as seccessionists and arrested by LRC forces. In that case they will still not be able to assemble in Buea.
There is a huge difference between now and 1954. Nigeria was not yet independent in 1954 and could not claim Southern Cameroon as part of its territory.
Southern Cameroons MPs succeeded in 1954 because they got the backing and permission of the UK.
Today Cameroon is considered as a sovereign nation and is recognized by the UN as the authority over southern Cameroons. Trying to form an assembly in Buea today without the backing of the UN or any major powers like US or UK would be a suicide mission.
That is why independence declaration on October 1 turned out to be a big disaster.
Things need to be done in the right order otherwise there will be unnecessary deaths and arrests.
True my brother
But I believe the interim government is working on that. So let’s pray Ambaland does not experience what it has already experienced.
God bless Ambaland.
