Cameroonians to join Paul Biya in the search for peace and national unity.
According to Mindja Zam Georges, Municipal Councilor for Bertoua 2 council, Paul Biya is not moved by local and international pressures.
His words:
“In Cameroon, for more than three years, the situation has been worrying, especially in the NOSO, with the socio-political crisis raging there. This crisis has clearly revealed the dissensions, both within national opinion and within the international community.
Speaking of the international community, we recognize that it seems to have an interest in fundamental freedoms. But, with the memory of the military interventions in Africa, we are entitled to note that these Western interventions on our continent, were far from being limited only to humanitarian motivations.
To do this, is it necessary for this international community to interfere in our internal conflict and provide solutions, or better yet, should impose on our Cameroonian leaders, a cease-fire, while we observe that these are terrorists who want to wreak havoc on NOSO?
We are aware that the resolution of African crises by the international community is part of the infantilization logic of African heads of state. Thus, the African continent has remained since independence the main framework for interference by this international community, especially since it believes that our local forces are not able to defend the populations, and this with the support of some of the political leaders local opposition.
With regard to the crisis in our country, the conflict between the national armed forces and terrorist groups, which has claimed several lives since the start of the armed phase, the Head of State and his Government have not hesitated to engage in the resolution of this crisis, through strong acts. Despite this, the international community has tried several ploys to impose on the Cameroonian authorities a cease-fire on this conflict which has become economic and political.
But, knowing our President of the Republic, a fine political strategist, who always knew how to thwart all forecasts, a President of the Republic of an indisputable influence in the world, his rigor on all levels and his international prestige, President of the Republic which never worked in populism, we are very certain, that it will not yield to the pressure, whichever side it comes from. Besides, we are aware that he often acted in accordance with his own conscience, to preserve peace and national unity.
When it comes to the end of this conflict, isn’t it vulgarly said that: “Whatever the length of the night, the day will eventually rise”. This saying would remind us that everything has an end. We are hopeful that this socio-political crisis will end soon.
Notwithstanding all the reports against Cameroon about this socio-political crisis, some people find that our country is neglected by the international community and that the “lion man” is imperturbable.
To this end, let us remember the words of the French Prime Minister, François Fillon, on May 21, 2009 in Yaoundé who said: “Our goal is to help Africa build its own collective security system.
The way of the future is therefore a veritable Africanization of conflict resolution ”.
Taking into account the above, Cameroon does not support the idea that its security can be decided elsewhere. Increasingly, the Head of State is looking for Cameroonian political solutions and not for political solutions imagined elsewhere and imposed on Cameroon. For us, these are political solutions that are naturally necessary, because they are adapted to our environment and our culture. All solutions are specific to each situation.
Beyond the fact that the international community experiences the greatest difficulties in assuming security around the world and at the origin of this impotence, the dissensions between the Member States, which have difficulty in adopting a common attitude towards crises, we must recognize that the President of the Republic and his Government are making a lot of effort to put an end to this socio-political crisis of NOSO, which seems to be going on.
The international community must review its methods and philosophy, while all Cameroonians must accompany the President of the Republic and his Government to work in the search for peace and national unity ”.

‘in our internal conflict ” How it is an internal conflict when Southern Cameroons which is illegally called NW/SW had its independence granted by the UN in 1961 while the Rep. Of Cameroon had had its own in 1960? Where is the treaty binding the two countries together? If you who contributed the article above can explain how two countries each granted independence by the UNO on different dates became one country, then we can accept that the conflict in an internal matter. Until then everything you say is false dishonest and state banditry which cannot allowed be to stand. You can call the self defence forces of the Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia every kind of name you want but the real terrorists are the soldiers of LRC who invaded the Southern Cameroons in 1961 and started plundering its resources – money from its treasury, heavy construction equipment from its Public Works department, machinery from Power Generating plant at Yoke, etc., etc. The point is that LRC must compensate the Southern Cameroons for all these stolen items and most importantly must make financial restitution for all those its soldiers have killed since the invasion in 1961. If there is any advice I will want to give , this it. Now that your President still has the few and dwindling opportunities to defy the International Community, do all the best you can to make fun of the lives of innocent people you people kill everyday in our country. But make sure you remember what happened to Germany after WWII. But the difference between LRC and Germany is that unlike Germany, LRC is far from being an industrialized and manufacturing nation. It is currently a badly governed, corrupt and mostly illiterate bunch of citizens who will immediately feel the weight of international sanctions against the country. And lastly just to dismiss your preference of the word terrorist you use in describing the self defence groups in the Southern Cameroons, is it not terrorists who are scared of international mediation? If LRC were not the terrorists, let them be bold, assertive and confident to stand before the International Community and challenge its right to mediate in what you claim its an internal problem. If its an internal matter, prove it to the international community and that will be the end of the matter. Is that too hard to do?
