THE INDOMITABLE HUMAN SPIRIT AND THE LONGING FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY


THE INDOMITABLE HUMAN SPIRIT AND THE LONGING FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY

Humankind's longing for freedom/liberty is driven by the indomitable human spirit of  patriotism, resilience and compassion for fellow citizens. Sometimes in life, all what we might have is the human spirit of resilience ,which keeps us hopeful.


However, hope must be matched with realistic , measurable and achievable goals. For instance our case is clear.Our demands are outstanding and obvious within the realm of possibility; free all political prisoners, create a Justice and Reparation Council for victimsdeclare your assets, stop human rights violation,step down from power or face the music of ICC

 


We have come to realize that the pride of every country and the citizens is measured by their spirit of sacrifice and volunteerism towards building a better country according to her potential and talented people. One of our finest goals is to tap into these talents in order to reach the unmet potential of  the country and people.

 

The indomitable human spirit to freedom is a given because man and woman were born free.No where on earth should they be bounded up in chains by another human being. When it is crystal clear by virtue of empirical evidence that any other fellow human being is responsible for deprivation of the other's liberty or freedom, the human spirit without constrain must shout out for help.No doubt, everywhere people are protesting against the illegal chains of oppression because the human spirit is not created to conform or condone oppression.

So, for the mere fact that we are free somewhere in this world, there is no doubt on our minds that  we stand in  a noble place in history today to activate or re-activate that spirit inside us  so that it helps us to achieve the most precious gift of life ,which is freedom and safety.

The Indomitable human spirit breeds conviction because it is natural and uncontested. Conviction leads to courage.Courage amounts to positive action in our world. See the formula for freedom and Change again.The Indomitable human spirit+essence of conviction+ force of courage+ compassionate patriotism+ the power of collective action=freedom and change

Scotte Thorpe observed from his book about leadership lessons from America's most successful patriots  that ; "Conviction is essential to overcoming obstacles"
We are conviced beyond Preponderance  evidence we are gathering that Dictator Paul Biya and his government are ripe for prosecution by the International Criminal Court( ICC) from this moment in history if he fails to comply with our demands  boldly spelled out on the blog today.
1) Free all Political Prisoners immediately and set up a Justice Reparation Council to enable their  compensation and re-admission into the civil society( Compensation for damages)


2.) President Paul Biya and his government should comply with the Constitution especially article 66, which orders by law that all government officials must declare their assets.They have never respected this order. This is clear evidence that Dictator Paul Biya has dishonored and abused our  nation and people without impunity. This particular violation has prompted the systematic violation of the human rights of Cameroonians.
Had he been respectful of the constitution , in fact he would not have to deal with people going to the streets to demonstrate or protest against his cruelty.The main  reason why the human rights violation of people is at its worst stage of decadence is because Dictator Paul Biya has chosen individualistic  greed over  the common creed of the people of Cameroon who ought to be  living together in peace and harmony according to the promise of the country.


3) Dictator Paul Biya should step down( resign) as President of Cameroon and submit himself to the Justice and Reparation Council to enable him confess to his crimes against humanity and be re-habiltated into the Cameroon society. The downfall of any single dictator on earth like Paul Biya  will save the lives of  more than 1000 children a day in Cameroon. Meanwhile every single day that he is allowed to stay in power about 2000 children die everyday as a result of his corrupt policies, violation of the human rights of the mother, father or adopted parents of the children.

If President Paul Biya does not meet with these demands let him know that we will proceed to seek, advocate,lobby and cry out as we are already doing  for his prosecution at ICC. We are gathering sufficient pieces of evidence to use and make no mistake about it. We are not only convinced but we are also very determined because we are doing the right thing.
The International Criminal Court( ICC) became effective in 2002, which means that ICC has earned  jurisdiction over crimes between 2002 and 2010 committed against humanity by this Dictator Paul Biya and his corrupt CPDM regime. One of the basis on ,which the ICC is bound to take action is the failure of the judicial system in a given country.

We, Cameroonians from all walks of life especially respectable and decent lawyers, Judges and all other people with a legal knowledge have agreed to the fact that the Judicial system in Cameroon is a fiasco. It has failed many times to deliver to the people.Ironically it has only served the selfish interest of  Dictator  Paul Biya, which shows quite clearly that he exerts undue infleunce over the Judicial System in Cameroon to suit his whims and caprices. This is highly unacceptable at this time in history.

We are looking forward  to a new political system that will truly represent the people as well as have separation of powers with the Independence of the different arms of government especially the Judiciary. Cameroonians must know that they have the full right to alter or abolish the system that has put them down for decades. So, please, we must educate Cameroonians and concerned citizens around the world about the merit of our case against Dictator Paul Biya as supported by President George Washington in his farewell address to Americans.


  President George Washington in his farewell address, September 17,1796
"The basis of our political system is the right of the people to make and to alter their constitution of government"
