The ongoing conflict in the Southern Cameroons perpetrated by the repressive and oppressive regime of Paul Biya might not have grabbed the news headlines as La Republique Du Cameroun struggle to bury the facts but the ever-growing humanitarian crisis doesn’t elude the attention of MPs in the UK Parliament.
The motion tabled on April 23, 2018 before the UK Parliament and dubbed ”ANGLOPHONE CRISIS IN CAMEROON” was sponsored by the Honourable Hywel Williams of the Afton Constituency. It was signed by a growing number of MPs. The motion calls on the UK chamber to condemn what it refers to as the ”state oppression” directed towards the good people of Anglophone Cameroon cum the Federal Republic of Ambazonia by the repressive regime of Paul Biya. This resolution was only published today at the UK Parliament website after the last MP signed. It is coming at a time the international community have begun becoming very worried about Biya’s human rights records and state sponsored terrorism in Southern Cameroons in what the US Ambassador has described as targeted killings.
On the humanitarian front, the motion mentions the fact that more than 20,000 cases of refugees have crossed the border into Nigeria. The resolution said the number of detainees since the escalation stood at more than 1,000 with more than 100 shot and killed by the heavy-handedness of La Republique’s government.
The resolution regrets that the peaceful protests which started in 2016 was met with brutality by Biya’s security personnel. The document noted the response of LRC by sealing off the border with the Northern and Southern zones, ordering the deployment of the Rapid Intervention Force (BIR) on a civilian population.
The Honourable Members of Parliament were keen to condemn La Republique’s approach to ”use force” while at the same time appealed for a ”peaceful solution” to be implemented. The draft motion called on May’s government to further push for LRC to engage in ”open talks” with leaders of the Anglophone movement.

Unfortunately diplomacy takes time. But LRC did enough wrong things in our favour. Thanks to Biya that he mostly engages morons in his cabinet.
To all of those idiots from the french side that Russia will help you. Forget it. Why? Because you’re so important in that world? You have nothing to offer for Russia. The forced united Cameroons was always a part of the West. The Russians have no interest in that little shithole la Republique. Their Southern gate Syria is much more important for them. There they negotiate right now an agreement with the US/French forces and do very well.
My dear brother George,
You seem to be going against your own advice to me on at least three occasions. “Mbeuh, do not waste your time with these East Cameroon internet trolls.” “They are distractions to our struggle,” you often write. But here you are wasting your precious valuable time responding to ‘bamenda boy’ whose posts are nothing more than gobbledygook intended, in your words, ‘as a distraction’.
In my comment a week or so ago beneath the rubric, “The conflict is not getting any better……. U S ambassador to Biya”, I made mention of a video of the House of Commons in which Theresa May was heard appealing to the Lion man’s government to engage in an inclusive dialogue as if her hands are tied. I reminded her then as I am now of Britain’s responsibility and her weighty leverage to prevail upon Etoudi as a matter of urgency
to STOP the ongoing massacre of our people. These political gymnastics and coated sugary diplomatic language is not helping to amend the folly that Britain committed in 1961. We ask therefore that her majesty’s government abandoned this lackadaisical response, consider the sanctity of millions of lives at stake and STOP murderous Paul Biya in his tracks.
If some one ever told those LEC colonial master that one day such a thing will happen, they would had said ever God can not make such a thing possible.
Here we are today and some of them are wearing bullet proof vest to go to work.
The struggle continues.
if you mean it this can be from two reasons. One you Are stupid second you are a liar. what name did francophone used to call us? “anglofoolS”. Considering this they Knew how mad we are and always treated us like such and Today you ambafools give then wright.
you bunch of bushfallers are causing the lost of our youth. do you know how many startup and programmer not to say talented singers and music fabric producers where only in bamenda and buea etc before this your stupid struggle?
