The Southern Cameroons National Council, SCNC, has issued a stern warning that nobody or group of persons, moral or physical, should enter into any transaction whatsoever with Cameroon government on the Cameroon Development Corporation, CDC, or any of its estates located within the Southern Cameroons territory.

"Be warned and stay off CDC lands and estates. We cannot bargain away our patrimony," says Nfor Nfor. In a communiqué dated April 17, copied the UN Secretary General, Kofi Annan, US President George Bush, Jacques Chirac of France, Tony Blair of Britain and a host of others, the SCNC National Vice Chair, Nfor Nfor reiterated that CDC is not for sale. To him la République du Cameroun has no locus standi whatsoever to privatise, sell or transfer all or parts thereof to any person or organisation. "La République Du Cameroun cannot give away what she does not legally own (nomo dat nomo quod).

Any person or organisation wishing to establish the veracity and legality of our firm stand, should challenge or insist on President Paul Biya to present any internationally recognised instruments by which la République du Cameroun came to gain title over the State of Southern Cameroons," goes the communiqué.

Nfor Nfor says from historical facts, la République du Cameroun remains the successor state of French Cameroun, which attained its independence on January 1, 1960.

Some 29 or so people said to be members of a supposed Southern Cameroons Youth League, SCYL, Defense Force, are reported to have been arrested in the towns of Mutengene, Mile 16 and Muea in the Southwest Province by gendarmes and detained.

The Post gathered that the said members were picked following a tip-off that volunteers were being recruited into the so-called Southern Cameroons Defense Force code named "SOCADEF." Those arrested are said to have been initially detained at the Mutengene Gendarmerie Brigade and were later transferred to the SONARA Gendarmerie Brigade on or about Monday, March 27.

When The Post approached Adjutant Chef Samuel Mengue of the SONARA Brigade, on Friday, March 31, he said he could not comment on the matter. However, one of his colleagues said the matter was still under investigation.
