Southern Cameroons Interim Government

French Fascists And Another List

The Guardian Post Nº 2017 published last month, carries on page six an article titled: “Gov’t presses for deportation of SCNC diaspora activists.”

The IG Research Bureau is publishing the page six article as it appeared because it comes on the heels of the circulation on the internet of a list of Southern Cameroonian activists that France and la République du Cameroun are eager to see targeted for elimination.

In early 1994, it was reported that France’s surrogates in Kigali, Rwanda were circulating a list of potential targets for elimination; we know how that story ended. We also know that French military advisers like Jean Pierre Huchon who provided distinguished service to the genocidal regime Kigali has spent some time in Yaoundé in the past training those who safeguard France’s interest in their colony. Recently, after the rumored death of France’s colonial jungle agent, Paul Biya of la République du Cameroun surfaced, the specter of a list was again invoked; with Cardinal Christian Tumi, the Arch Bishop of Douala prominent amongst those to be eliminated. So serious were the allegations that the Cardinal requested and got a meeting with the Secretary General of la République du Cameroun’s presidency.

The people of the Southern Cameroons must heed the lessons of Rwanda yesterday, and Côte d’Ivoire today--the French and their African agents will stop at nothing to maintain the slave era exploitation that undeservedly and disproportionately benefits the French in what they fondly call their “reserved hunting grounds” in Africa.

"Pour bien convaincre son auditoire, le Pr. Mamadou Koulibaly a évoqué le génocide rwandais.
Sur le sujet, il a estimé que les germes de division ethniques, introduits par la France, sont à la base de la mort de plus d'un million de Rwandais. Et de rappeler que déjà 300 000 enfants du Nord ont disparu, dans la guerre. 'Certains d'entre nous croient pouvoir compter sur les Français, qui, en réalité, ne cherchent qu'à exploiter notre pays. Ils veulent toutes nos richesses: l'eau, l'électricité, le café, le cacao, le coton. Non seulement nous avons beaucoup de milliardsde FCFA stockés au trésor français, mais, en plus, Chirac veut que le président de la République se réfère à lui, avant toutes décisions.

Quand les élections arrivent, des chefs d'Etat africains envoient des milliards de FCFA à Chirac pour sa campagne. On nous a contraint, à participer à hauteur de deux milliards...,' a révélé le président de l'Assemblée nationale [du Côte d'Ivoire]. Avant de faire savoir que c'est parce que les autorités ivoiriennes refusent cette manière de faire que la France fait traîner la crise."

Calabar

We suffered so much in Cameroon. We paid smoke tax, firewood tax, boat tax, woman tax. We had no rest of mind because you didn't know what they would tell you to pay the next day. I won't go back to Cameroon. Although I was born in Cameroon , you can't claim to be their national by (circumstances of your) birth. They won't allow it

NO less than two thousand Nigerians arrived Calabar, Cross River state, Wednesday, with tales of woes like others before them. It was the third batch that sailed from Cameroon in the wake of the seeming hostility and obvious tension since Nigeria handed over the disputed Bakassi peninsula to her neighbour.

In similar fashion, two batches of Nigerians living in different parts of Cameroon had fled the latter, fearing intimidation and voicing out how they have been so badly treated and singled out for over-taxation by their host country.

What had initially perplexed millions of their compatriots at home was why these Nigerians were fleeing from Yaounde, Douala and other cities in the mainland Cameroon even when their country had since withdrawn its troops from Bakassi. This time, their plights do not have much to do with the controversies over the oil-rich Bakassi.

But as they heaved sighs of relief on arriving their fatherland, it was lamentation galore as the returnees spoke of the ill treatment and the humiliation they were made to face. And for thousands of these troubled Nigerians, it was one pill too bitter to swallow.

But what were their specific reasons for calling it a day in Cameroon? What advice do they have for the Nigerian government, especially concerning those of their other fellow countrymen and women out there? Will they go back when the feelers emerge that normalcy may have returned?

Saturday Vanguard spoke to some of these returnee Nigerians and they share their views below.
