The exiled leaders of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium who recently fled to Ghana and Nigeria have voiced concern about expulsion and killing of Southern Cameroonians by troops loyal to the Biya regime.

The international community says a lot but does nothing to save the lives of Southern Cameroons minority in La Republique du Cameroun. The Consortium leaders opined that the world is now aware of what is going on in Southern Cameroons but international bodies such as the African Union and the UN keep saying exactly what everybody else knows, but it doesn’t choose to do anything about it.

The reality is that the lives of Southern Cameroonians are meaningless to Biya and the Francophone political elites including some Western powers generally, because the greater interest is for economic exploitation of West Cameroon.

A four-month crackdown on the Southern Cameroons minority has seen hundreds including a Member of Parliament, veteran journalist Tina Nene Nganda, Barrister Eyambe and the Secretary General of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society flee to Ghana and neighboring Nigeria.

The violence against Southern Cameroonians by Francophone soldiers and police officers is a blow to efforts put by an Anglophone Prime Minister and Head of Government, Philemon Yang to reach a comprehensive peace with the Cameroon’s Anglophone minority.

The Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium leaders further criticized the 84 year-old Biya saying, “The international community considers him a person of peace. It’s total hypocrisy. If he is a true democrat and somebody committed to human rights and peace, he should be speaking up on the violation of Anglophone’ rights in the country.”

The Synod Clerk of the Presbyterian Church in Cameroon, Rev Babila Fochang has said that university students cannot go back to school and study smoothly without internet in this present generation. In his recent homily, the Right Rev. Babila Fochang observed that the Church as a body will never play games with the future of children nor can tell lies in the face of the current crisis that has rocked the two English speaking regions of the country.

The Presbyterian Church leader pointed out that Anglophone Christian churches in Cameroon have been under serious attack with some Anglophone members of government making lame and ridiculous claims  that the churches are playing Pontus Pilate role in the on-going Southern Cameroons uprising. The Man of God noted that some church leaders are under surveillance with threats of arrests while pastors have been bullied to say all is well in West Cameroon.

Revered Babila Fochang declared, “Now that media houses have been threatened that they will be shut down if they mention anything concerning what is going on, the prophetic voices remains the only outlet of truth.” He reminded the laity of the threat on Jeremiah’s life because he prophesied the word of the Lord just as the Lord asked him to and added that Jeremiah told them he had only spoken what he was asked to by the Lord. Like Jeremiah the true prophetic voice can only say, “…Now reform your ways and your actions and obey the Lord your God… As for me, I am in your hands, do with me whatever you think is good and right.”

“My people, history have demonstrated that killing of prophets and human rights activists have never been the solution to suppress truth! Let us face issues and deal with them upfront! Arrests, torture, high handedness and threats to life won’t solve our problems. Don’t treat fellow humans as animals! You can’t expect university students to go to school and function smoothly without internet! Not in this generation! God forbid this inhuman treatment and violation of human rights! Fear God and allow good citizens to enjoy their just rights; and by so doing we would all escape the wrath of God.”

The frustrated and corrupt Government Delegate to the Bamenda City Council, Vincent NDUMU NJI, has urged traders in Bamenda major markets not to respect ghost town days but to go about their usual activities. The man who attempted to claim a building at T-Junction belonging to a late business tycoon, made the call on Tuesday March 14, 2017 at the City Council hall during a crisis meeting held to discuss the way forward after a fire incident ravaged close to 60 shops in the market.

The loud sounding nothing CPDM militant opined that ghost town was helping to paralyze activities of traders than the killings, rapes and militarization of the Bamenda province of Southern Cameroons. Vincent Ndumu sounded like his Buea counterpart, Patrick Ekema by appealing to all traders to send their children to school and forget about school boycott.

Without any security backing from the Francophone dominated police establishment in Bamenda, Mr. Ndumu reiterated that the fire incident was perpetrated by those people who do not want children to go back to school. His suspicion he claimed was based on tracks which were reportedly circulated Monday warning traders who continue to boycott ghost town days.

In an attack on the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium that has legitimate authority in Southern Cameroons, Vincent NDUMU stated that people should not be obeying leaders they cannot see. He added that if the Government had succeeded to take Bakassi from Nigeria, defeat Boko Haram, then it would be able to track down perpetrators of the burnings in Bamenda.

During the enlarged meeting with victims of the fire incident and market Masters of some major markets, Vincent NDUMU NJI promised that the burnt shops will be reconstructed within three months and that the new ones will be modernized.

The fire incident occurred early Tuesday ravaging about 60 shops, it was only contained by army rescue unit and police who exploited water Canons that were previously used on innocent students at the University of Bamenda. The Bamenda so-called government delegate avoided to comment about traders whose children have been abducted and ferried to unknown destination in La Republique du Cameroun.

Recently there has been an influx of Francophones into IDP camps in Nigeria. The number which increases by the day is not unconnected with the ongoing struggle in Southern Cameroons, which has caused many Anglophones to flee to neighboring Nigeria for refuge.

According to Cameroon Intelligence Report sources in Abuja where one of such IDP camps are found, the Cameroun Francophones are about 30 persons- a majority of whom speak the French language with the Beti accent. Our source revealed that these men are being sent to eliminate Southern Cameroonians who fled and some believed to take refuge in Abuja.

Our intelligence officers in Abuja have also disclosed that most of the Francophone Cameroonians are secret service personnel who are currently using their so called refugee status to enroll in private schools to gain a mastery of the English language. The Yaoundé regime has opened command centers at the Cameroun Consulates in Calabar and Lagos and is running a huge spying network on Southern Cameroonians in Nigeria.

Our undercover reporter spoke to a senior UN official in Abuja on Friday the 10^th of March who hinted that concerns have been raised at the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees in Abuja following the huge demand for asylum by French speaking Cameroonians. The UN Abuja Mission has reportedly informed the leadership of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium operating in Nigeria and many Southern Cameroons activists have been handed to foster families in a bid to avoid the IDP camps now inhabited by agents loyal to the regime in Yaoundé.

We gathered the wife and children of the Secretary General of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium, Wilfred Tassang have arrived at an undisclosed location in Nigeria and are now under tide security.  Our chief correspondent in Southern Cameroons based in Buea noted at the time of filing this that the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime has frozen the bank accounts of four prominent Southern Cameroons activists namely: Barrister Eyambe, Paul Nilong, Tem Martin and Tina Nene Nganda.

Three Fako Chiefs have been expelled from the Fako Chiefs conference, over money believed to have been given to the Chiefs by Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime to kick against the ongoing struggle in Southern Cameroons.

Cameroon Intelligence Report sources say the three Bakweri traditional authorities include the great His Royal Highness Samuel Epupa Ekum of Dikolo Bimbia and His Royal Highness Chief Etina Monono of Great Soppo.

We are withholding the name of the third Chief as requested by our senior intelligence officer in Buea. The three are said to have distanced themselves from what they termed blood money from La Republique and have accused their counterparts for supporting the regime’s diabolic actions towards Southern Cameroon.

Francophone Cameroonian medical doctors and teachers have announced a decision to go on strike on the 27 of April 2017. The medical practitioners and the teachers said in a statement made public on Sunday the 12 of March that the CPDM government has failed in its promise to improve the working conditions of health and teaching officials in the country.

The doctors’ trade union also revealed that there was an urgent need for a short-term implementation of basic health insurance with universal coverage, to improve the provision of care and to enable all Cameroonians of all social strata to have equal access to health care.

The doctors are also asking the government to raise their wages, suspend the policy of assigning newly recruited doctors without pay and above all, raise the retirement age from 55 to 65.  In a similar direction, Francophone teachers have also announced their strike action on March 27. The French speaking teachers have reportedly made a sea of demands to the government.
