The Legal Argument For Southern Cameroons Independence
"An annexed people is always for a king or an Emperor a matter of complex problems. For his own people are always divided on the annexation like the annexed people themselves: he always has sleepless nights over them until the annexed people free themselves by sword or by negotiation; for the ashes of annexation are never completely cold."
Nicolo Machiaveli
"The Southern Cameroons was given an international status in 1922 as a League of Nations Mandated Territory under British Administration. In 1931, the League of Nations requested Britain and France to landmark the international boundary between the British Cameroons and French Cameroun. So on 9 January 1931, the "Cameroons Boundary Commission" met in London. Under the supervision of the League of Nations. Administrators of the British Cameroons and those of French Cameroun landmarked the international boundary by building concrete cement pillar marks along the boundary: each landmark was the object of a specific topographic document which was co-signed by the administrators of both countries"
