Cameroonian born Songwriter artist as well as producer, Romeo Dika, (" le mari de ma femme" ), was very satirical in his remarks on Twitter this morning. It is difficult to say what his intentions really are, given the sensitivity of the situation and events in Cameroon right now.  Arts they say is a political tool. and social media is a FREE PLATTFORM TO EXPRESS OUR MIND SET. When used positively we effect positive Change! Have Your say!

The military court was filled with Common Law Lawyers as well as Civil Law Lawyers to show their support . The court was tiny and space very limited, to accommodate the lawyers present. The language in session was in French and most of the time translated into English. Due to circumstances beyond the control of the entire court , the case was adjourned to the 23rd of March 2017. Points to ponder - Why judge them in a military Court? - Cameroon is a bilingual country - It is a Cameroon Problem ... Civil Law Lawyers and Common Law Lawyers were present. The aim has never been to divide but to make clear the loopholes in our system. It has never been an Anglophone / Francophone problem but an Institutional one that affect the day to day functioning of the common Anglophone man. # FreeNkongho # FreeFontem # FreeMancho # Bringbackourinternet Please leave a Comment!

Summary of the session today.  The session started at 10.50 today, when the presiding judge came in and declared the session open. She asked if the state counsel had any special observations and he simply introduced the team with which he was working. Then barrister Akere Muna gave his opening word, note that he did mention that about 25 years ago he was in that same court with some other colleagues to defend another lawyer Yondo Black who was involved in a political case that had to do with multipartism. He also said federalism and multipartism was a similar thing. Given that we also have freedom of speech in Cameroon it is unheard of that people face a trial for exercising that rights as citizens.  The suspects were called forward Bibixy , Fontem and Mballa .  The judge then went ahead to ask for the interpreter to be brought forward and take the oath, that was done. Then holden charge was read in french. Every body wanted to hear it in English . So th...

The evolution of the crisis in the English speaking provinces of Cameroon and the numb response and show of quasi – sympathy from our Francophone “brothers” has stunningly exposed the fallacy in the concept of national integration and the spirit of “vivre ensamble” in La Republique du Cameroun. While they claim to understand the “Anglophone problem” and sympathize with us, for the main stream French speaking Camerounian, it is business as usual even though they are aware of the systematic unfolding of genocide by their government against their “brothers” next door.    In my quest to understand the reasons for their lukewarm approach towards our plight, I have talked with many of them in person, debated with many on online platforms and watched Francophones debate on the issues on TV. With that, I have come to the understanding that, while most of them seem to appreciate the legitimacy of our revendications, they are mostly turned off by the misconception (mostly pr...

I’ve been looking at the following 3 maps with great interest and they have taught me some important things about the current crisis in Cameroon.  The maps are numbered 1, 2 and 3.  In map 1, Parliamentary democracies are shown in red, orange and green.  In map 2, Francophonie countries are shown in brown.  In map 3, Federal countries are shown in green. PARLIAMENTARY DEMOCRACY (MAP 1) A parliamentary democracy is a form of government where voters elect the parliament, which then forms the government. Usually, the leader of the party with the most representatives becomes Prime Minister. The Prime Minister, who remains MP, picks a cabinet from amongst the MPs. As such, the government is a direct emanation of the electorate. FEDERAL REPUBLIC (MAP 3) A federal republic is a form of government in which citizens elect officials to run the government according to laws that restrict the power of the central government and vest regional un...

Role models! Who are role models?  You see role models can be found in every walks of life. Role models are people we look up to, because they inspire us. Today am looking at Cameroonian Musicians. In the face of the crisis at hand in Cameroon, some have been silent, afraid they might  take sides, afraid to say what they think.  Many hide under the banner of: “I am apolitical”… “I don’t delve into matters with political background”… Least I forget Art is politics and according to Aristotle, human beings are by nature political, because nature, which does nothing in vain, has equipped us with speech, which enables us to communicate moral concepts such as justice which are formative of the household and city-state.  So my dear Cameroonian Artist remaining silent in the face of injustice is the same as supporting it. On the debate if music , a sub-genre of arts, should be or better said, is political or not , is a topic for another day, but if you w...

What started like an insignificant cry of marginalization from the Common Law Lawyers in Cameroon has suddenly developed into a nationwide, as well as international movement; geared towards the need for dialogue and change in Cameroon. The Teacher’s Trade union in Cameroon joined the struggle, and like the lawyers made their demands clear. And these demands highlighted these simple facts:    - The Cameroonian system of government does not Sustain diversity,    - It does not Respect the rights of its citizens    -  It is gradually and systematically Eradicating or better said “Francophonizing” the Anglo-Saxon Culture, identity and Institutions of the Anglophone regions of Cameroon. The situation at hand deteriorates day by day and what many considered to be “just” a Lawyer and Teacher struggle , has now developed in that of the people; the people who identify themselves with the Anglophone culture, Anglophone “fa ç on de Vivre”. I...
