The Vice Chairman of the Southern Cameroons National Council, SCNC, Nfor Ngala Nfor, has been elected into the Presidency of the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation, UNPO.

Nfor Nfor was elected during the ninth UNPO General Assembly that held recently in Brussels, Belgium.The General Assembly was organised at the European Parliament with full attendance of UNPO members and delegates from all over the world.


According to some home-based SCNC leaders like Prince Hitler Mbinglo Nfor Nfor's election will go a long way to advance the liberation struggle and eventual independence.During the General Assembly, Marino Busdachin was re-elected as UNPO Secretary General.

Ledum Mitee Esq., leader of the Movement for the Survival of Ogoni People in Nigeria was elected UNPO President and Ms. Maysing Yang, Vice Minister of Oversees Compatriot Affairs Commission of Taiwan was elected Vice President.

Senator Marco Perduce, member of the Italian Senate for the Democratic Party was elected Treasurer.Other candidates at the General Assembly included Maxim Gunjia from Abkhazia, Adduraman Egiz, from Crimean Tartars, Dolkun Isa from East Turkistan, Mohamoud Daar from Somaliland and six others.

A dispatch from the UNPO office, of which The Post procured a copy, stated that the General Assembly held "substantial discussion on the broad sense of the concept of self-determination and its resolve to address and fully consider the right of self-determination, ranging from autonomy, devotion, and federalism."

The UNPO also debated on topics of climate change, potable water and food shortages which if not checked would have devastating effects world stability.General resolutions also reached out beyond the UNPO membership to express members' support for the ongoing global struggle for human rights, democracy and freedom of expression.

Receiving particular attention were calls for action against the proliferation of landmines and the need for the international community to take concrete action in investigation of situations in Burma and China in the wake of events in 2007 and 2008.
