Pronouncements of writers who have examined the evidence
- P. Gaillard (Ahmadou Ahidjo: Patriote et Despote, Batisseur de l’Etat Camerounais, 1994) affirms that there was no union whatsoever on 1 October 1961 and that what took place was a mere border adjustment enabling Cameroun Republic to shift its southwestern border some 400 km westwards to the point where it then shares a maritime border with Nigeria.
- FM Stark (‘Federalism in Cameroon: The Shadow and the Reality’, 1976) posits that the Cameroon federation was a de facto federation and not a true and genuine federation in the sense of a voluntary relationship between political units. His conclusion is that the British Southern Cameroons was in reality incorporated into the Cameroun Republic.
- J Vanderlinden (‘L’Etat Federal, Etat Africain de l’An 2000?’, 1985) concludes that the ‘federation’ was used by the Cameroun Republic merely as a ploy, a smoke-screen to soft-cushion its colonization of British Southern Cameroons and to enable the territory to swallow the bitter pill of its annexation, in the same way, Eritrea was annexed by Ethiopia.
- Professor J Crawford (‘State Practice and International Law in Relation to Unilateral Secession’, 1997) cites in his study British Southern Cameroons as an example of a former colonial territory ‘integrated in a state’.
- J Benjamin (Les Camerounais Occidentaux, 1972) details the fraudulent maneuvers used by the Cameroun Republic to destroy British Southern Cameroons. He concludes that what happened to erstwhile British Southern Cameroons is a classic example of a creeping annexation.
- P Mesmer (Les Blancs s’en Vont, 2000), speaking from insider knowledge and as the last colonial governor of French Cameroun, is emphatic that the Cameroun Republic annexed British Southern Cameroons.
- L Sindjoun (L’Etat Ailleurs, 2002), a native of Cameroun Republic details how British Southern Cameroons was all along misled and deceived by the Cameroun Republic. He is also emphatic in his conclusion that the ‘federation’ was a strategy used by the Cameroun Republic to annex British Southern Cameroons and a mere make-belief ploy successfully used to hoodwink both the United Nations and the Southern Cameroons.

Thanks Mark.
Bring it out for the young ones to really understand what is at stake.
our fore fathers were right all along, at their time,many were threatened with the occupied french Cameroon arm force rampant arrest,killings,imprisoned,terrorised, many were offered positions,bribes to stay quite and sideline with annexation or loose families, another form of slavery,any southern Cameroonian today who stand against this revolution must be gari,there will be no repeat of slavery second round,those who are still using primitive statements as ‘ why split Cameroon or why not have federalism’ are buffoons of low self esteem cowards,technology have exposed all the legalities of a free Independent Ambazonia without a second referendum,up to date many Scs do not know their history unfortunately many are living in a shithole Cameroon where the internet and technology within the youth communities is a stumbling block due to poor electricity supply and censorship, fortunately the many diaspora in civilised countries are able to expose french Cameroons falseness of one and indivisible Cameroon,their genocidal acts towards the English speaking minority, the fact that french Cameroon has a 90 years old longest African butcher dictator leader who refuses to address the root causes of the problems in the English minority regions of SW/NW but instead declare war on false pretext of using terrorism charges which has been denied by the international communities,the separatists deserve their rightful Independence from french Cameroon by using their right of self defense as french Cameroon has been using kill and shot policies for over 58 years on the people,the revolution intensifies till The Republic of Ambazonia is free from the french colonial puppet butcher biya
The facts of a non-existent union treaty with LRC is and has never been the question. Reason why LRC has always avoided the lines of this subject. The votes for British Southern Cameroons Independence (64 yea, 23 nay & 10 absentia) is still in depository at the United Nations headquarters in New York. Reason again why LRC has never ever challenged this fact. What irks me is that the principle actors (Britain and the United Nations) indirectly responsible for the carnage unleashed on our people continue to skirt the 1961 intentional error of inserting an archaic phrase, “…achieve independence by joining….” into a document of such import as the independence of a nation and refusing to amend it to this day, thereby giving LRC its faulty claim of a ‘one and indivisible Cameroon’. How long will the connivance of the duo hold up against 8 million strong Ambazonian resistance to LRC assault and infringement on its people and territory is a question for them to answer. For now, the struggle MUST go on unrelenting, unwaning and undeterred until the march and arrival to Buea is complete and we are free at last! Short live the gallant struggle, Long live the Federal Republic of Ambazonia.
Mbeuh
Stop hiding abroad behind your computer.
Come on the ground and I promise to personally deal with you.
Folls
Anytime I see a picture of this lucifer called Ahidjo, it just reminds me of how you need to be very careful of the people around you at all time. The fact that this foolish post office worker was willing to go to any length to appease the french leeches including mass butchery of innocent Africans and then try to come across as some one who cared for others is testament to that fact that he was a zombie masquerading as a human being.
Mukong,
If you really went to Ashing, you’ll have known that Britain is the one behind our predicament.
That man you are insulting has got nothing to do with it. He was even forced by Britain to entertain the idea of a possible Union, which he was even very skeptical before accepting.
That Baba had his own vision, and it was his absolute right to use his political ruse to achieve his vision. That’s politics.
Now, if you’ve got any prob with that, go and dig out Foncha, Muna, Endeley..you would surely be shocked.
Or, since you claim to be courageous once you’ve smoked that your banga, go to your mama’s house in London, and blow off your fatty and wobbling belly in front of her gate. Shumbu !
You DEVIL! Each time I see you and a BABOON, I can immediately tell the difference—-I see the intelligence in the baboon.
Even, since when did gluttons ever orchestrate a successful revolution?
Go and sit down and wait for your slave-wife to come and serve you stale Achu, or rancid Fuf’u corn and za-za.
Ambazo ma lass!
What a waste of time with these stupit people trying to rewrite history. Ambazonians believe that they the smart people on earth, really! These internet people forget that even if there is no writing treaty between the two Cameroons that the united nation recognize what is call verbal agreement.
By the way why should the two cameroons have treaty when NW/SW was part of Cameroon before the arrival of Germens. There is no need for treaty, Cameroon knows it and the world knows it. Please stop trying to educate the world and learn your history.
