The Cameroon National Assembly enacts new law to amend the 2006 law relating to the reorganisation and functioning of the Supreme Court. The amendments are to address some of the greivances raised by the Cameroon Common Lawyers.
Coming a little too late? Shamefull it had to take 56+ years, rioting, civil disobedience, killings and imprisonments for this regime to do what it nows claims is “reasonably and logically” correct to do. Interesting to note in the proposed amendments is point Section.11 (3) that clearly reads :”The legal/judicial officers appointed to the Common law Division (of the Supreme Court) MUST have an Anglo-Saxon background.” Note the word MUST written in caps.
Where are all those who have been in denial of the “Anglophone problem” ? The likes of Atanga Nji Paul, Mathias Eriic Owana, Issa Tchiroma, and the long list of sycophants..
Unfortunatley this is coming a little too late. Many (including myself) had warned that there shall come a time in this struggle when the debate will no longer be simply along the lines of “an anglophone propblem”. The demands would have changed when the regime will finally want to address the problems.
People have been hurt, some have died, many still in prison and many more on the run, for daring to raise their voices to complain and demand for what is now “reasonably and logically correct”.
This is not how you treat a people. The ill advised strategies deployed in the early days to resolve this crisis have radicalised the youth in these two regions in a way that simple cosmetics and tinkering sections of the constitution will not normalise the situation.
A total sweep and revamp of the current constitutional framework in favour of a Federated Cameroon may be the starting point. Unfortunately this regime has neither the credibility nor the will to embark on such a route, reason why they must be shown the exit door.
In an even better setup, let a referendum be conducted in the two regions, supervised by international partners, for the people in this regions to determine the kind of relationship they want with the brothers and sisters on the other side of the Mongo.
But again, the first best option is ensuring that the regime in power has the will and credibility to engage in such a process in a meaningful way. The current regime has neither that will nor the credibility.
But before it even starts, unconditionally #FreeAllArrested

”The legal/judicial officers appointed to the Common law Division (of the Supreme Court) MUST have an Anglo-Saxon background.”
What I want to note in addtion to Eric Acha’s MUST in the Post is that “have an Anglo-Saxon background”. This means that even Francophones with an Anglo-saxon background are legible. In effect, it is another ploy to blind fold the world in to thinking that the Govrenment of La Republique is now solving the problems Southern Cameroonians have raised just like they have done with those they claim have to be admitted into the ENAM.
Our foremothers and forefathers did not sold us over to slavery to LRC, nor did they sold our land, it resources, nor beg LRC to come take care of us.
Reunification or no reunification, statehood or no statehood, what the hell so ever that Government have in its sick mind has absolutely nothing to do with passing over land, it resources, control of the land, or its people to some entity.
If our forefathers and mothers ever sold or gave our land, control over it, its resources or us the people over to LRC, then let them show the document.
LRC should show to the world one document that defines reunification are the handing of stealing of land, control over the land, it resources or the people owning the land for one party over to some other party.
These devils even under reunification can not hide under reunification to steal our land, resources and enslave us Ambazonian. This is evil. What the hell are we going to do with laws, Supreme Court Reforms, legislation, bills, and all these garbage that they are signing when they are still there in our land raping it.
The government in Yaounde is really psychopathic, they sign a law i.e. A PHYSICAL ACTION OF THEIR FINGERS ON PEN and then expect us Ambazonians to dance. The next thing that will come for that sick mind will be for us to say Amen when they us the toilet.
And some of us Ambazonians will jump and dance simply because someone in LRC moved their finger to paint ink on paper.
We are not going to remain forever a people who walk around on a land that is not under their control, carrying fantasies, illusions that are painted on paper with ink in their minds. Today one law creates fantasy ‘X’, the next day another law knocks fantasy ‘X’ off.
They can amend all amendable, sign all the ink in existence, our fight is not for the LRC Government to amend or sign us laws, not for recognition, not for money but for them to leave our land.
How can we have all these wealth only to beg a foreign Government to sign us laws and amend text.
Our struggle continues until Ambazonia is totally under our control.
Acha, you either are an agent of LRC, have family connections (extended or immediate) in LRC, or just a mad man.
Who told you that we have brothers and sisters across the Mungo?
Who the hell told you that we care of or asking for Federation with LRC?
There is nothing LRC can do that will change our course.
We are on a one way street. Independence or die.
Those still talking about federation are agents of LRC. we know them. Federation is now the heart beats of LRc. we know that but that is not our will , we want to be free.
Why is it that each time we talk, complained for our wellbeing to LR the immediate respond is killing harassment then latter they will come and say is true. When we ask for the GCE board to better organise our exams it was a big problem, to day there are hiding behind this board to organise failed political GCE. When we ask for this board, to LRC it was a bad thing. When LRC latter got up from her drunkenness and realise that the GCE board was a good thing and evil from the Anglophones as she thought, she went and created first the bacc board to serve their interest first. We are tired of proposing solutions of general interest to receive dead as our reword
