Before October 1961 the Southern Cameroons was a haven of freedom, peace and steady progress. But tragedy soon struck! In that fateful month of that fateful year the good people of the Southern Cameroons began their descent into hell. They became tragically linked to République du Cameroun by the cruel history of colonial occupation and other forms of imperial plunder. The people of the Southern Cameroons became “a little gift to France from the Queen of England” as Charles de Gaulle said.
For almost half a century now we are locked in a bitter anti-colonial national liberation struggle to free ourselves from the colonial yoke and plunder of a Yaoundé colonial government aided and abetted in its cowardly crimes against humanity in our Homeland by an ex-colonial power that had itself tasted the bitter pill of alien occupation.
The French-controlled Yaoundé colonial government has licensed its loathsome colonial agents in our land to plunder our resources and to murder, torture, terrorize, persecute, abduct, and imprison our people at will and for their psychopathic pleasure. The hands of the French-controlled Yaoundé colonial government are soaked and dripping with the blood of nationals of the Southern Cameroons.
We shall put an end to this criminal activity and expel the colonizer from our Homeland. We shall impose accountability on the coloniser and his agents in the Southern Cameroons. We shall end the pervasive culture of impunity that obtains in République du Cameroun and free that country of its historically attested culture of violence.
We repeat that we will not and cannot obey the decrees and edicts of the colonizer. There is no legal or moral basis that warrants us to do so.
We will ensure and exact retribution from every agent of République du Cameroun who lays his diseased hands on any one of our people. These odious agents also have families. We cannot allow them to continue systematically to murder, maim, torture and imprison members of others’ families and get away with it. We will exact retribution wherever the criminal and those associated with him may be and irrespective of how long that will take. We shall hunt and hound them, one after another. They can temporarily be sheltered by the French-controlled Yaoundé criminal regime, but they will not be sheltered for long. They can run, but they cannot hide.
