According to la Republique du Cameroun, the Southern Cameroons Question is aminority problem similar to that of any ethnic minority in that country like the Bamileke,the Beti and the Bassa.Q1. Is the ex-British Southern Cameroons an ethnic minority?A:The BSC Question is a problem of the colonial annexation of one country by another. Itis therefore an international problem.Q2. Why is it wrong to equate the Southern Cameroons question to that of an ethnicminority?A: The Southern Cameroons is a distinct and separate country that came into the failedunion after it had acquired the status of a self-governing territory. The pre-federationagreements placed the Southern Cameroons on equal status with la Republique duCameroun. It was on this understanding that the people of the Southern Cameroons votedoverwhelmingly to join la Republique du Cameroun in the UN-imposed plebiBSCite onFebruary 11, 1961.The territory enjoyed a democratic culture with a government headed by the PrimeMinister, an independent judiciary, a legislature and the House of Chiefs. All thesestructures were unilaterally, unconstitutionally and fraudulently abolished by the twoFrench-controlled dictators that have successively ruled the Republic of Cameroun (LRC)till date.Q3. Is the ex-British Southern Cameroons a minority as la Republique du Camerounclassifies it?A: This is a deceptive ploy by LRC to evade what is in reality a problem of colonialannexation. The simple truth is that in 1961 the U.N. sponsored the unification of two of its former Trust Territories that had separately attained sovereign independence on 1
st
January 1960 in the case of LRC and 1
st
October 1961 in the case of BBSC. LRC claimswhat it calls an historic right or sovereignty over ex-British Southern Cameroons basedon a fanciful idea that it had replaced the old German Kamerun. Following the defeat of Germany in WWI and the Anglo-French partition of 1916 and the renunciation byGermany in 1919 of its rights and title to that territory, German Kamerun became extinct.The British Cameroons and French Cameroun were two new polities that came into being
as from 1916 and the partition was ratified by the League of Nations at the VersaillesPeace Treaty of 1919. In order to reconstitute the old German Kamerun, LRC would haveto expropriate territories from five of its neigbours.Q4. is there any doubt on the boundary between la Republique du Cameroun andSouthern Cameroons?A:No. The international boundary between the British Southern Camreoons and FrenchCameroun is along the Milner-Simon Line traced in 1916 by Britain and France, delimitedin 1919, and confirmed in 1922.Q5. Why did Southern Cameroons accept federation with la Republique du Cameroun?A: It accepted the federation as a fall back position after the UN had for no justifiablereason, refused to grant it separate independence in conformity with art. 76(b) of theCharter of the U.N. The people of the Southern Cameroons were forced by the UN andthe UK into a union with la Republique du Cameroun and the Southern Cameroonsentered the union in good faith.Q6. Why is Southern Cameroons struggling to be free?A: Because LRC has forcefully and fraudulently assumed total unwarranted jurisdictionover ex-British Southern Cameroons, exercising complete dominion over it and denying itthe right to govern itself. This is colonialization; this is annexation that must be foughtagainst until freedom has been restored!Q7. Does the presence of BSC quislings in la Republique du Cameroun administrationchange anything?A: Even though la Republique du Cameroun has co-opted quislings and collaboratorsfrom the Southern Cameroons into its rulership and has hired citizens of the territory intoits administration, army, gendarmerie and police, all that changes nothing. It does notmake the Southern Cameroons a part of la Republique du Cameroun; it only confirms thefact of annexation and assimilation that are the hallmarks of Gallic colonization.Q8. Has The Southern Cameroons itself any ethnic minorities? A:Yes. Ethnic minorities that exist in the Southern Cameroons include the Bakweri, theNsaw, the Wimbum, the Bafaw, the Kom, the Bayangi, the Bali, the Bakossi, the Metta aswell as non-native ethnic minorities.
