Cameroonians abroad, specifically in Switzerland, have called for the freezing of Biya's Swiss account by authorities of that country for terrorising Cameroonians.
Disgrungled Cameroonians in the Diaspora demonstrating
"We call on you to investigate and block the accounts of Paul Biya and his ministers for onward transmission to the people of Cameroon after regime change.The call is contained in a four-page memo addressed to the international community and the Cameroon government.
The document was presented to Swiss authorities and the Cameroon
diplomatic mission after a demonstration at the Cameroonian Embassy in
Bern, Switzerland, on Saturday, April 19.
Signed by Daniel Tabeng, jurist and political activist, and Francis
Masice, the memo bemoans Biya's manipulation of the Cameroon
constitution to remain president for life.
It notes that prior to this, he had changed the constitution which prescribed a five-year term, making seven, renewable once. Cameroonians were waiting anxiously for 2011 to mark the end of Biya's "autocracy, tyranny and dictatorship," when CPDM 'handpicked' MPs voted a bill, making Biya president for life.
The Switzerland-based Cameroonians consider this act a pre-declaration of war, especially as it took place after nationwide demonstrations in which over a hundred Cameroonians were shot and killed by Biya's soldiers.
"We Cameroonians are tired of your dictatorship and we now need a regime change," says the memo.The memo calls on Biya to step down or face the consequences of brutal killings and other 'genocidal' acts like Charles Taylor. It also notes that Cameroon has one of the worst human rights records in the world.
"Freedom fighters are languishing in various detention centres in the country," the memo reads.It calls on the international community to put pressure on the Biya regime to unconditionally release all those arrested, tortured and imprisoned without charge and fair hearing for demonstrating against constitutional amendment. Many of these detainees, it laments, are minors who live under inhuman conditions that include torture and lack of medical care.
Concerning the deployment of soldiers all over the country to kill and maim, the memo warns the military men that their actions have dire consequences, especially as all of them have civilian family members.
Cameroon, it states, is not a kingdom, adding that 26 years is more than a quarter of a century during which Cameroonians have been reduced to street beggars with a life expectancy of 25 years.
It also notes that most Cameroonians abroad, including Switzerland, are victims of Biya's human rights abuses. It warns the Cameroonian Ambassador to Switzerland who had been issuing laissez-passer tickets to opponents of the Biya regime in Switzerland to be deported back home. Such an act, the memo warns, would incriminate him (the Ambassador) as a co-defendant of Paul Biya at the International Court of Justice at The Hague.
The memo ends with a call on the international community to help avert war in Cameroon and on the Bundesamt for Migration not to turn over persons fleeing from Biya's dictatorial regime.
Some of those copied are: UN Secretary General, Cameroon's Ambassador to Switzerland, Amnesty International, SDF Chairman, John Fru Ndi, and Christian Cardinal Tumi.It should be noted that President Biya cancelled a trip to Switzerland soon after the promulgation of the newly amended constitution.
Press reports allege that he feared another strike action in the country. Acquaintances of this reporter in Switzerland claim that the President had foreknowledge of the demonstration and thus postponed the trip to his most cherished place of relaxation in Europe.
<
kudos to the Cameroonians in Swiss for bringing international attention to an issue which has been submerged by the press. Gone are the days of empty words and theoriess...for the first time in our history, Cameroonians are venturing into a world of practicals, a world of action, a world of overt displays of our frustration. Change must come.
The age of "intellectualism" has failed. Intellectuals yap and yap and yap and yap and produce no results. We want results. The so-called intellectuals who come to this forum everyday to practice the words and speeches they have crammed in dictionaries and textbooks should take note. They know themselves.

Well done, let other Cameroonians abroad in countries where biya and his thieves have stashed their loot do the same thing. Where is that list of the thieves and their offspring and concubines,prostitutes could some one publish them here in full? Thanks

"Cameroonians have been reduced to street beggars with a life expectancy of 25 years" by Memo
I endorse everything in the memo; except this point. Where are these statistics from?. This is intellectual dishonesty. No country in the world has a life expectancy of below 30. Even Zimbabwe and Afghanistan which are among the lowest on the scale have life expectancies of 42 and 36 respectively.

Simplice, your attempt to minimize the part played by the Biya regime in this mess is outrageously immoral. Everything now is crystal clear. You are wallowing in excess abroad thanks largely to Daddy's money.Daddy might even be part of the cult at ETOUDI. Daddy has investments back at home and you want to protect them. You want to make sure that every coin is tightly kept in Daddy's coffers. This explains why you will stop at nothing to legitimize and humanize the Biya regime. You might want to add an extra lock on your door my friend because the sons and daughters of those demon-politicians are just as guilty. We will get you too. Mark my words.

Mr USAfrica
I have sold salt in the Market to pay fees. Been a "truck pusher" to make ends meet. I don't need to unfold me historical agenda to make a point. I know what Cameroonians are through:statistically and experientially. However, what the devilish regime is doing, I shall not accept what is statistically incorrect. Not on a forum of this profile.

Their next demonstration should be at College du Leman in Geneva, where Biya has his children, and his daughter in the anglophone program of the school. The same Biya who has been bent on destroying the anglo-saxon system in the Southern Cameroons since he came to power send his own child to an anglophone program in Geneva! In addition to that, when children in la Republique Francaise du Cameroun and the Southern Cameroons ask for electricity to study, he kills them.
Read the article below in French:
C’est au Collège du Léman, situé à quelques kilomètres de Genève que Anastasie Brenda Eyenga Biya a posé son cartable. Le chef de l’Etat camerounais a inscrit sa fille dans l’une des plus prestigieuses écoles internationales pour l’année scolaire 2007-2008.
Paul Biya est marié en seconde noce à Chantal Pulchérie Vigouroux, de qui il a deux enfants, Junior et Anastasie Brenda. Cette dernière (Brenda Eyenga Biya) est inscrite au ‘‘6th grade’’ (sorte de cours moyen 2ème année) dans la section anglophone du Léman College.
Le niveau de connaissance de la langue anglaise de la fille de Paul et de Chantal Biya est faible pour l’instant. Dans cette institution très sélecte, l’administration de l’école lui a conseillé de s’inscrire dans un degré intermédiaire afin de bénéficier d’un module de rattrapage. Cette classe de transition devrait permettre à Brenda Biya de venir à bout de ses difficultés linguistiques d’ici l’été prochain.
Son frère, Junior Biya était de passage au Léman College à la fin de l’année 2007. Mais le deuxième fils du chef de l’Etat camerounais n’y est pas inscrit. Les raisons pour laquelle son nom n’est pas repris dans le fichier de l’établissement ne nous ont pas été révélées lors de notre enquête en terre suisse. Une bien curieuse situation quand on sait que le nom du jeune enfant de Paul Biya ne figurerait non plus sur aucune liste d’inscription consultable sur place au Cameroun à ce moment.
Paul Biya est également le père adoptif de deux enfants. Ce sont des jumeaux issus d'une précédente relation de Chantal avant son mariage du 23 avril 1994 avec le locataire d’Etoudi. Selon les informations dont Camer.be détient l’exclusivité, les deux garçons étudient également au Collège Léman. Avec leur demi-sœur, ils sont vraisemblablement les seuls camerounais présents dans cette prestigieuse institution.
L’école est située au 74 route de Sauverny à Versoix près de Genève en Suisse. Elle a un ratio de moins de dix élèves pour un enseignant. Léman voit défiler chaque année des enfants de fonctionnaires internationaux, de diplomates et autres grands argentiers du monde. Près de 120 nationalités se côtoient sur le campus de cet établissement du réseau ‘’Meritas Family of School’’, un réseau scolaire privé à la réputation mondiale.
Léman comporte un cycle maternel, un cycle primaire et un cycle secondaire. L’école compte deux sections : l’une anglo-américaine et l’autre francophone. La section anglophone, celle de Brenda Biya, obéit au système scolaire américain. La formation dans la section francophone aboutit à l’obtention d’un baccalauréat français. L’école prépare ses ‘‘élèves dorés’’ à l’entrée dans les universités nord américaines ainsi que dans les établissements supérieurs les plus célèbres d’Europe.
Les frais de pré-inscription non remboursables s’élèvent à quelques 400.000 FCFA. La scolarité pour un élève inscrit à l’internat coûte environ 15.000.000 FCFA. Un élève externe doit pour sa scolarité débourser en moyenne 35.000.000 FCFA par année scolaire.
Les trois élèves camerounais du Léman College passent l’essentiel de leurs congés scolaires ainsi que certains de leurs week-ends au Cameroun. Tel est le prix à payer par Etoudi pour assurer l’éducation d’une certaine jeunesse camerounaise, qui plus est, à l’école primaire. Pendant ce temps, la vraie jeunesse de ce pays du tiers monde peut encore attendre longtemps pour pouvoir bénéficier d’un établissement scolaire… en terre battue ! (A suivre)

Simplice,
Please spare me the melodrama. Your writings on this forum ring much louder than any fiction you can come up with. And I'm done with you. I have to get involved in more productive an proactive discussions.
Targo,
I am shocked to find out that Biya is sending his daughter to an anglophone school in Geneva. I'm sure the blockhead couldn't even pass a single exam in Cameroon. Do you know if I can get in contact with those planning to organize the strikes at college du leman. Whether it is in participation/cash/kind, we shall contribute. Kudos to my brother. Keep up the good work. We shall attack Biya from the outside and work our way inside.

Unitedstatesofafrica,
I hope you are asking your brothers of La Republique to respect the human rights and freedom of the people of the Southern Cameroons as they also want freedom from Biya's thugs in their own country. It would be absolute hypocrisy for you to be fighting for democracy in your country (La Republique) while supressing democracy in a foreign country (Southern Cameroons). No La Republique intellectuals have ever criticised the colonisation and exploitation of the Southern Cameroons. Even the failed 1972 mafia is always hidden under the carpet. There is no guarantee that regime change will change the current status quo where our people have been held as slaves in their own land over many generations. We also need our freedom, just as citizens of La Republique want their freedom from Biya's thugs.
Thank you.

Its Time for a revolution-and a revolution can come from cameroonians out there. if all of you go to streets it can be a start to rewriting a new history for cameroon. Here the military has been stationed allover to intimidate us. Biya could not travel last week to Geneva. its time you People out there make it difficult for him to make his private visits and the visits of his minister. Cameroonians allover the world should take the 20th may as a day for the REVOLUTION.

Thank you Tagro. That is the kind of action we should engage in. Let us harass his children and make it impossible for Biya's daughter to enjoy her schooling there. If possible plant a cell phone in her class and get pictures on the internet. Make her feel ashamed of her father's actions and before long she will be crying for her mama. Then they will have to remove her from that school. Let's also target Biya's doctor and the hospital where he comes for his medical checkups. They are there in Switzerland. His gang of armed bandits called soldiers cannot protect him from embarrasment abroad. Thanks.

Rexon,
let's get one thing straight. The people in La Republique, are in no stretch of the imagination, my "brothers". Just because I am fighting for democracy and equality in Cameroon doesn't make the people in La Republique "my brothers". Your propagandist effort to bundle me up with the murderous culprits in La Republique will not go unoticed. I am a Northwestern born and bred in Buea
You raise valid points about the legitimacy of Southern Cameroons. I have never denied the legitimacy of your cause, what I have a problem with is the ineffectiveness of your so-called pressure group, SCNC.
The whole issue of an independent Southern Cameroons should be left for the people of Southern Cameroons to decide not me. If they are not interested in breaking away from La Republique, isn't that their right? During the latest strikes in Cameroon, did you see Southern Cameroonians protesting the illegal occupation of La Republique? did you see them clamoring for independence? No! they were protesting the ills of the Biya regime and requesting for better policies. Let the people speak for themselves Mr. Rexon. You guys form your small "elitist" clubs abroad, and you expect Southern Cameroonians to listen to you? this is laughable indeed.

Targo,
please keep us updated with the issue. Kudos to Cameroonians in Switzerland for the ingenious idea.

Rexon can you and your so call SCNC tell us who you people are representing.I don't know for certain how the situation is in the NW, but what I can say for certain is that you are not representing the inhabitants of south west province where I came from. This sing song of yours about southern Cameroon is but a myth. What these poor people need so much now is to get biya and the cpdm out, and bring some realistic and sustainable change in Cameroon.
Instead of spraying these harmless bullets from your desktop, use your intellectual capabilities and come out with strategies like your brothers and sisters in Switzerland, so we can force biya and the cpdm out.
Your crusade is not helping your brothers and sisters back at home in any way, it is instead postponing their suffering.

Danny man,
I have been having similar problems for awhile now. I had to create a new account under a new e-mail address before I could post comments again. If you ask me, I'll say it's censorship because it happens only during moments of heated debates. It has happened to people like Paa NgemGOAT and the other SCNC flock too.
Fitcube and Akume
I completely concur with everything you guys have said. The best strategy now is to target this bloodthirsty Biya regime from the outside and work our way to the inside. He won't be able to see where the strikes are coming from but they will hit him hard.
Posted by: UnitedstatesofAfrica | Wednesday, 23 April 2008 at 11:41 AM
Our parliamentarians are bunch of fools they are very short sighted forgetting they have children also.They can back Biya´s proposal to rule for life but they cannot Extend his Life Span.
Biya should never forget that he has kids that he will surely leave behind.pls keep us posted enough is enough
Posted by: bufo | Wednesday, 23 April 2008 at 11:49 AM
Scenario
We lead a scathing protest at College du Leman, and draw some live international media coverage. When a day is set, we need to contact news organizations and let them know about it. This will enable us to get live media coverage. Then, Cameroonians can air out their grievances on T.V
Best case scenario
Biya's daughter is kidnapped. That would throw Cameroon and the rest of the world into a frenzy and encourage more underground movements to take charge.
Posted by: UnitedstatesofAfrica | Wednesday, 23 April 2008 at 12:08 PM
To wish for something and to have something done are two different things. As with many of our wishes regarding emperor biya, we can all wish all we want, but so long as we dont want to do anything about it, all these wishes are impotent. This man biya have a "teflon" shield when it comes to dealing with us, the Cameroonian masses. He has had us under him since 1982 fu..... us hard. We the Cameroonians are like a woman with a sweet pu.. which he likes to fu.. He always gets his way with us. Now he has us postrate before him doing us really good doggie style if you know what I mean. Lets stop all these wishy washy dreams and take our destinies into our own hands. Cameroon is not his fiefdom to do whatever he wants with us. Beggars that we are, we should not be choosers. We must accept our liberation from which ever quarter it comes from - whether from the adolescents who looking at the older generations can see what they will become in a few more years (poor, beggarly and miserly); from even hard core prisoners protesting their situation in prisons and deciding to march to Etoudi to displace the dictator or from our impotent opposition political parties who refuse to arm their militants to constitute a veritable opposition force. Our liberation will not be won from the ballot box, but by force of arms. The sooner we stop deceiving ourselves that biya will have a change of heart about democracy, the sooner we can start casting off his yolk of oppression. Bayonets in our hands will speak louder than all these sissy marches and declarations.

you guys from SCNC are not productive in any way . you are just helping ruin yourselves.if you concentrate your efforts to developing your socalled region rather than waiting for your independence, then you are doing somthing Good. has any of the so called scnc carried out community projects in thier region -NO. How do you guys expect to operate if you get the independence when you people have no structures. while people are investing great businesses in thier regions and helping the community to grow you people sit on forums here and ther propagting and ideology that can never work.

IN OUR SOUTHERN CAMEROONS CULTURE, THERE IS A SAYING THAT, YOU HAVE TO PUT THE HORSE BEFORE THE CART , AND NOT THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. THIS VERY TRUE, FOR
IN BUEA, BAMNEDA, AND IN BETWEEN , WHERE THE GOVERNMENT IS A FOREIGNER, AND THE POLICE AND MILITARY AND LAWS BEEING PRACTISE ARE ALL FOREIGN, THESE PEOPLE WHOSE INTENTION IS TO KILL, RAPE AND EXPOLIT OUR PEOPLE AND AND RSOURCES , TELL ME JUST HOW ARE YOU GOING TO DEVELOP, WITHOUT THEM LEAVING FIRST?
THAT BRINGS US TO THE INDEPENDENCE QUESTIONS FOR BRITISH SOUTHERN CAMEROONS, . WHEN A NATION AND A PEOPLE ARE NOT IN CHARGE OF THEIR LIFES, THEY CANNOT AND WILL NEVER DEVELOP.
AS A REMINDER, THERE MOST RICHEST AND MOST EDUCATION PEOPLE OF THE TWO CAMEROOONS ARE THE BRITISH SOUTHERN CAMEROONIANS, ESPECIALLY THOSE EXILE IN USA. I PERSONALLY KNOWS FEW HUNDREDS OF MILLIONAIRES HERE, I MEANS DOLLAR

YOURS IS THAT THE SCNC IS NOT COGNISANCE OF THESE FACT BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU ALL PESSIMIST THAT YOUR BETTERS HAVE ALREADY THOUGHT ALL ABOUT THIS. SOO, AS I SAID BEFORE THOSE WHO ARE AGAINST SCNC AND OUR INDEPENDENCE ARE BRITISH SOUTHERN CAMEROONS ENEMY

Mr SCNC flag. i see you have no plans for the socalled people you want to liberate. You are just one block of the mouthy and complaints full cameroonians who in case of difficulties flee to a comfort zone. i see how you depend your economic growth on peoples wealth . these people had it been were interested in your nation would have invested for the regional growth of that nation before they even claim thier independence. when you move from yaounde/ douala to bamenda you see extreme poverty in the people in the that your so called nations. If your millionaires dont even think of building roads to thier house or even bring in industries to these regions now- would expect them to come when you have independence so that you depend on thier hard earned monies?
-have you carried out any development project and some one has stopped you?
-have you even ever sensitised the people about self reliance?
-the only thing the people know in your socalled nation is whenthere are strikes . burn down the same infrastructures they need.This calous behaviour is what your nation believes in. tell me who will invest his millions in such a region. You are talking here of a nation and not a village . You are those guys who responsible for all the ruins in africa. I am in no way in support of the present regime but people should think of ways that can save a nation from turmoil and not selfish agendas. So when you separate will you come back from the comforts of those faked exiles? look at reality and get to work. Be an example to your nation by encouraging the youths and giving them a better future with your millionaires.fight the common foe first .

As a voice of the UPC in University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg (South Africa), I have been receiving feedback from various sources in Switzerland about Biya's children schooling in the famous College Leman in Geneva, and about Brenda's enrollment in the Anglophone section of the college. The big surprise is that he as a president of a nation is aware that it is a good thing for people to provide their children with high standard education, but his policies are not adapted in such a way that citizens of Cameroon can be able to benefit in order for them to do same for their own children, talkless of sending them to prestigious colleges like that of his.We people of Cameroon are tired of your regime. It needs to be completely overhauled in order to secure a better future for the coming generations.Biya and his whole team of bandits should enable to be considerate and compromising in order to guarantee the assurance of livelihood for our children tommorrow.

THE PLIGHT OF ANGLOPHONES AND SCNC ACTIVIST.
MANY READERS AND ANGLOPHONES HAVE ASKED ME TO COMMENT AND TAKE A STAND CONCERNING THE WAY FORWARD FOR THE ANGLOPHONE QUESTION. I UNRESERVEDLY AGREE WITH THE SCNC ACTIVIST ON ONE POINT THAT ANGLOPHONES SUFFER A HELL OF MARGINALISATION IN THE UNION WITH THEIR FRENCH BROTHERS BUT WHAT I GROSSLY DISAGREE WITH THEIR POLITICAL VISION IS THE IMMEDIATE SESSIONIST OPTION.
YOU MAYBE THINKING IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO HAPPEN, I WILL SAY IT’S POSSIBLE BUT IT WILL DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD TO ITZ VERY PEOPLE(SW N NW) FIRST AND THE REST OF THE FRENCH CAMEROON WHO HAVE DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BEEN RELLYING ON THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY FOR SUBSISTENCE .
DEAR BROS AND SIS, GIVING THAT THIS ISSUE IS GRADED HIGHLY SENSITIVE ( COS MANY ACTIVISTS HAVE SACRIFICED THEIR BLOOD UPTO NOW TO SEE AN ANGLOPHONE STATE), I WILL LIKE TO BE VERY BRIEF AND CONCISE PROPOSING A MODEST IDEA OF REGIONAL AUTONOMY WHICH CAN STAND THE TEST OF TIME AS THE ULTIMATE SOLUTION AND WHAT WILL DIRECTLY CONNECT EVERYONE US TO HIS/HER VERY ACTIONS.
THE BITTER TRUTH AND SIMPLE LOGIC SHOW US HERE THAT THE SCNC IS FIGHTING A GOOD FIGHT BUT WITH A WRONG ASPIRATION TO ATTAIN. CAMEROONIANS, NORTH SOUTH, EAST AND WEST HAVE GREATLY INTERMINGLED IN ALL WORKS OF LIFE SINCE THE UNION IN 196I TO AN EXTEND THAT ANYONE ADVOCATING FOR A SEPARATION CAN RIGHTLY BE EQUATED TO THE NON-PRAGMATIC GOV’T OF BIYA & CO. PLEASE TRUE SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF CAMEROON LOOK KEENLY INTO YOUR HISTORY, YOU WILL ALL DISCOVER A COMMON FACTOR THAT BEFORE YOU BECAME ANGLOPHONES/FRANCOPHONES, YOU WERE GERMANOPHONES(ONE KAMERUN) and EVEN LONG AND MORE INTERESTING BEFORE THE ARRIVAL OF THE WHITEMAN WHO WERE WE? YOU GUYS ALL KNOW THE ANSWER….THIS SIMPLE ANSWER SHOULD SHOW US WHERE WE ARE HEADING TO AND GOD BLESS AND SAVE US THROUGH THAT PERCULIAR JOURNEY. THANKS.

Mr. Magazine,
Thanks very much for your interest in the SCNC and what they are doing to develop their region. You must bear in mind that the SCNC has as its principal objective to liberate British Southern Cameroon (Ambazonia) from La Republique du Camerouns’ illegal occupation. This movement that evolved from the All Anglophone Conference (AAC I & II) was later viewed by the La Republique du Cameroun government as a threat because La Republique du Cameroun relies on Ambazonia to sustain its economy especially from petroleum revenue.
The SCNC has not been able to open up structures in Ambazonia because of constant harassments from the La Republique du Cameroun government. They have decided to operate as an underground movement with ramifications in just every square kilometer in Ambazonia.
Socio-economically speaking, the SCNC has developed a vast program to train its youth in the fields of Arts, Science and Technology. Under this program code named Train-one-to train-three (TOTTT), SCNC Diaspora, using its ramified network, is currently channeling openings in these fields from their respective universities and training centers to young aspirants from Ambazonia. The program is in its 2nd year of operation and it has already officially placed 163 Ambazonians in top universities in USA, Japan, Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, Australia, Russia, China, Nigeria, Belgium, South Africa, Ghana, New Zealand and Mexico. Considerable progress has been achieved during the first year of implementation of this project with more than 100 % increase from the initial take off mark. We expect that these Ambazonians will invite young aspirants from home to come to their respective universities and acquire the state-of-the-art skills that we will need in the nearest future. We will unfold the other programs when due.
Thanks

This is geniune revelation. But is SCNC pragmatism limited to training just a selected few(elitist ideology)?. Does it mean, that the masses based West of the Mungo, who sink into the low social and academic categories of society do not benefit by this scheme?. Is this ideology of "Train one, train Tree" ideal, regarding core factual issues confronting the masses(soaring food prices.. et al)?. Does this scheme integrate any modicom of poverty alleviation policies?.Please forumites herein, do wish to have some understanding of it. Please, could you explain the correlation between the agenda you just disclosed and the support of the masses(increase rating in opinion pool for instance)?.

I think the issue is not only the hiking prices of basic food commodities. The fundamental reason for higher food prices is probably stemming from shortage of supply due to low levels of production, as a result of very little or no investment in the agricultural sector by the government of the affected countries. It is a call for concern on the government of most developing countries to start implementing agricultural policies that will encourage private investors in the said sector. I think the whole idea of liberalising the sector; so as to boost levels of investment thereby catalysing competition within the sector is one of the possibilities or alternatives that need to be adhered to. In addition, the government of most developing countries should not relent their efforts of giving subsidies to farmers as prescribed by most developed countries such as the USA, France etc.Evidence has proved that these countries do give out incentives or subsidies to their agricultural sectors. They resort to such measures in order to boost domestic levels of production so as to tackle higher prices in the future, and also to encourage export which has probably stemmed from higher domestic production. The point I am trying to make here is that, they want developing countries to remain persistent consumers of their agricultural products. That is the basic reason why they have prescribed such agricultural policies such as the aforementioned.
The increase in fuel prices is just one out of the many reasons why there is an increase in food prices. I think we cannot solely hang on that in terms of our explanation why there is an increase in food prices. It seems to me that increase in fuel prices is a global trend, most recently in South Africa we've been experiencing hiking fuel prices and complaints of an increase in food prices from this direction have not been casted on an increase in fuel prices. It is the problem of our governments not taking into consideration the demanding aspect of hugely subsidizing the agricultural sector in most of the affected countries in the sub-region. It is high time African governments should start thinking on how to tackle their economic problems without too much dependence on strategies hailing from the west.

Mr EGOH,that analyses was brilliant. However, I don't very much understand this recommendation of yours.

I must say am impressed by the move of Cameroonians in Switzerland and called on others all over the world to try in their own way to expose Biya and his phylum. We can declare the 20 May as a day for peaceful demonstrations for those out of the country but not those in Cameroon, Biya would surely deal with them.
Whether from which angle the solution of this issue is coming from is not what matters so long the goal is reached. If the SCNC think they are better placed... fine, if the SDF has a better approach... good, the deplomatic crew may as well think they would excel more...no trouble, and if the violence species believe in themselves...excellent. I think no amount of commentary here can possibly re-orientate members of various factions.
What we should be interested in is WHAT HAS BEEN DONE OR WHAT IS BEEN DONE by these factions in reaching this goal.Only progressive results from a faction can attract others and not all these talking here
Its not long we shall be juging for ourselves what Simplice and others advocating civic disobidience have been working on as Labour day and 20 May approach.
We have not also been sleeping as well, for now am having a list of 39 children of parliamentarians, 13 in the US, 9 in UK, 7 in France,3 in Switzerland, 1 in Span, 5 in Germany and 1 in Sweden. Unforturnately during our search we realized most of these children are even against their parents, with some instigating resignation from their parents and blackmailing them as well.We are giving them sometime to investigate how serious they are on their stands before publishing the list here. What do you guys think?
For those who dont have patience, a list of their parents name was published here, so you can start working on them.
Though due to tight secrurity we have not been able to handle any one yet we have at least succeeded in depreving them from free life, however we are still trapping them.....

Well I do laud the efforts by the various groups.The SCNC can only dream of thier liberation if they fight the common foe.We no secret that the whole nation is not happy with the present regime in place . why not concentrate our efforts together seeking common solutions . while africa is looking forth to uniting ,some are looking forward to separation . what is the irony. some of the programmes of those of the likes of SCNC Train to train... you are talking of training a hand full of cameroonians for a nation who after thier studies will certainly enjoy the comforts of thier trainers and forget about the socalled nation. I am in cameroon and most of the advocates of the SCNC are out of the country. if they are interested in building thier regions it then its high time they invest in building structures in these regions and giving a higher standards compared to the other regions. As one post here mentions they have the most educated people- but i am afraid they are doing nothing to savage these people. You dont need to build structures under the SCNC banner for your people.If you love your Dog you will still remove it from the trap no matter if in that attempt it bites you.
i am a media watch and before i go to bed each day i muss have watched news magazines from over 40 nations from mainstream to prime TV and still the SCNC problem or worse of all cameroons problems are not mentioned on any.CAMEROONIANS CAN WRITE A NEW WORLD HISTORY WITH A REVOLUTION FROM ABROAD. BIYA STILL GOES AROUND HIS PRIVATE VISITS IN EUROPE AS A FREE MAN : YET CAMEROONIANS ARE OUT THERE SCRIBBLING ON FORUMS AND FIGHTING EACH OTHER WITH WORDS: LETS USE OUR HEADS TO GO AHEAD:

Biya, Mugabe, Bongo and many others are a disgrace to Africa. Whilst many countries of the world are now run by young men and women full of fresh ideas to develop their countries, we still have dinosaurs ruling Africa! Just like Mobutu they will all very soon become extinct.
