The English-speaking people of Southern Cameroon, also called Ambazonia have, on Friday, risen in demand of Independence and subsequent restoration of their sovereignty.
This might spell doom as fears are rife that the government of Cameroon will probably censure the move.
Meanwhile, the people of Southern Cameroon have also raised the alarm over alleged planned genocide against their people by central Cameroonians.
The alarm was raised in Abuja at a press conference which was transmitted to Elombah.com.
They stated that their decision to intimate the world about the situation in Cameroon is to possibly avert an impending disaster, waste of human life and valuable economic resources.
The group said restoration of Southern Cameroon’s sovereignty will end the instability in the Bakassi Peninsula and the entire Eastern Marine Border Frontier.
It also said that it is in many ways critical and vital to Nigeria stability and economic development.
In a communique issued at the end of the conference, representatives of Southern Cameroons, under the aegis of Southern Cameroonians in Nigeria, urged the international community to intervene.
The communique was jointly signed by the Coordinator of SCINGA, Dr Cornelius Kwanga; spokesperson, Sisiku Ayuk-Tabe and Chief Strategist, Dr Fidelis Nde-Che.
It directed the people of Southern Cameroon to boycott celebrations in the Republic of Cameroun and all subsequent festivities in the region.
The text of the press briefing entitled “About two million Nigerians at risk in neighbouring Cameroon” was obtained by Elombah.com.
It says that the territory, being the former British Southern Cameroons, a.k.a. Ambazonia, was illegally annexed by La Republique du Cameroun since 30th 1961.
That was when she moved her troops and occupied the territory and imposed her governance in violation of the UN Charter, the UN Resolution 1608 and other international covenants that were binding on her as a UN member since 1960.
The communique states further: “This would be the inevitable consequence of an outbreak of violence.
“The people of Southern Cameroons feel, and rightly so, that they have reached the limit of trying to get the annexationist government of La Republique du Cameroun to resolve their crisis amicably through frank dialogue.
“Each time our people have stood up to protest against worsening conditions, the only response from the Yaounde Administration has been excessive brutality by the supposed forces of law and order.
“These people in uniform were sent to our territory where they systematically torture, rape, maim and abduct our people to detention centres in locations in French speaking Cameroon, far away from their families.”
