WHAT IS THE DEMOCRATIC FEDERAL UNION OF CAMEROON(DFUC)

             
         This vision was written in July ,2009 and it has stood the test of time.

            The Democratic Federal Union of Cameroonians (DFUC)

 

This is a moment in history when the hearts and minds of Cameroonians who care must be fused together. We are flabbergasted and overwhelmed by black-Africans colonizing their own Africans and pointing-fingers at the West; we are bamboozled by Cameroonians colonizing Cameroonians and blaming the French, Germans, British and North Americans. No.

“The Arrow of God” must point back at the CPDM regime, which is solely responsible for our plight. That is why DFUC comes to bear. This is an innovative idea to help us establish a platform on, which to forge ahead with a collective conscience. In order for people to dream in any country there must first of all be a vision to inspire a dream. The ability to dream brings opportunity and possibility for prosperity.

There is absolutely no way for all these to happen under the tyranny of President Paul Biya and CPDM regime of Cameroon. The Biya’s Code must be debunked as another hypocritical political propaganda imposed on innocent Cameroonians by ruling junta. It is not different from Rigor and moralization, which was published in 1985 whereas Mr. Paul Biya has presided over one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

DFUC stands for Political and Civil Rights Action of Cameroonians in the Diaspora and in Cameroon   against the ruling Cameroon Peoples Democratic Movement (CPDM regime, CPDM, Diaspora). This is open to Cameroonian asylees, refugees, DVD lottery winners and sympathizers of our movement to transform Cameroon from tyranny to a free and open society. We have already painted CPDM as anti-democracy, unpatriotic and intransigent because they are suffering from a conspiracy of silence and dumb. We have not had any response to our questions and concerns posted to them, yet.  We are waiting to hear from them.

 

Our motto: Justice and equality under law for all 

 

Our Values: Free Speech, dialogue, public debates on issues and respect for human rights

 

Our Right to know: All Cameroonians are entitled to know the assets of public servants in keeping with the provision of the law

 

Goal: To promote the peaceful co-existence and advancement of the commongood through a transparent Federal form of government.   

 

Our pledge of allegiance to God: All tribes and cultures are made equal under diverse people and one God. “In God, We Believe”

 

Our Status in the Diaspora: Surviving victims of the CPDM tyrannical regime and now moral agents (voice for the voiceless, voice of conscience, political activism, advocates, and Civil rights for all people)

 

Our motivation: To be nation builders under a well-crafted vision cast below.

 

Our time has come to make a difference and free Cameroonians. We are standing up on behalf of the downtrodden and voiceless political Science Professors within and without Cameroon. They have been forced against their will to become intellectually dishonest because of the tyrannical political system of CPDM, which they are not allowed to critique.So, what is the essence of political science within a political tyranny and dictatorship? President Paul Biya and his CPDM Party have reduced our country into a charitable organization.

This is unacceptable. How can the President and his wife become Philanthropists and Humanitarians while still in power? “Where there is no vision, the people perish" They run the country and live in opulence at the expense of the people. It is not Ok. We are sending a strong message to CPDM and President Paul Biya to step down by 2011 and be accountable to a transitional government. These are key points to consider;

 

1) The Constitution of Cameroon definitely falls within the spectrum of objective Principles, which centers on patriotism and should have been inspired by Patriots and should have the capacity to inculcate patriotism. Consequently President Paul Biya and his government should declare their assets by respecting Article 66 of that constitution. They have violated it for more 27 years now and it is not Ok.We say NO to that. We want full compliance with the provisions of article 66. 

 

2) The CPDM-USA must respect the same broad Principle of free speech, which they are enjoying within the United States regardless of their abuse of other Cameroonians by the CPDM regime. They must release prisoners of conscience within Cameroon and obligatorily respect their rights to expression. These are folks who have been arbitrarily arrested and locked up illegally into squalor cells. Majority of them are members of SDF and SCNC. These are Cameroonians who do not have to agree with CPDM but that must not translate into violation of their basic human rights.

 

 3) CPDM-USA must account for all their political activities within the United States since there are operating as a foreign political party within a different sovereignty. What is their non-profit status about? Fund-raising and funding sources must be disclosed. We must hold CPDM within the United States accountable following the tax-exempt and non-profit ethics rules in terms of their funding sources and financial Statement.

 

4) We must believe now or never that the CPDM regime is not different from the former Taliban regime of Afghanistan, which tortures and murders innocent people. They have the same characteristics like Taliban accentuated by the violent human rights record against them. Therefore, they should not be embraced among free people unless they change their horrible abuse and violation of human rights of Cameroonians. Amnesty International and US State Department have denounced the human rights situation in Cameroon. Many Cameroonians have condemned it, too from their own personal tragic experience and eyewitness account. Now we must act and prevent/stop further abuse of our lives by CPDM regime. They have lost their meaning and purpose in life. We, must not fold our arms and watch at them continue to hurt our fellow innocent Cameroonians anywhere in this world.

 

5) We must take ownership of our country now or never.  Intensify the war against corruption by making sure that corrupt Cameroonians are punished within the United States as well as in Cameroon. We must ensure that their ill-gotten wealth is confiscated and given back to the people. Stop bogus bank Statements and accounts SOLD by corrupt Bank Managers in Cameroon to corrupt Cameroonians to enable them obtain visas to travel to US. We must stop political asylum scams and if possible change the Country for good so that it will not lead to such fake asylums. In the same spirit, advocate on behalf of Cameroonians awaiting deportation or who have lost their political asylum cases and living in the shadows.

 

        

Charting a visionary path into the heart and mind of Cameroon

 

"Afterwards I will pour out my spirit on everyone, your young men shall see visions and old men shall dream dreams” Joel 2:29

 

Our vision centers on the enduring values of Freedom, Justice, Peace and Prosperity as well as Equality under law. This vision to reclaim our country must be defined by;

 

• Revision of the Constitution of Cameroon with emphasis on the Bill of Rights. Therefore, we must also impose a limited two terms for the Office of President. I suggest a one term of four years and two terms of at most 8 years. After, which the President must never run again for public Office. The amended constitution should embody the independent three arms of Government typical of the United States of America as an example par excellence. 

• We need national dialogue through a two years transitional government against, which backdrop we will move to explore the present and future of our country. We have too many problems and divisions and there is a cry for Federal form of Government in wake of our crisis.

 

• We support a Federal system although we don't yet know exactly how it should look like. Ensure that there is a peaceful transfer of political power through free and fair election. So, we don't agree with ELECAM.It is a bogus Electoral Commission. We propose a pledge of allegiance to God as seen above

 

• President Paul Biya and his government must declare their assets before we have another election in Cameroon.  In the meantime, DFUC is proposing a two years transitional government during , which time we, the people  will reorganize Cameroon and then swing in real democratic elections. The CPDM regime must answer to all the accusations and charges against them by DFUC and other Cameroon schools of thought. We are doing this to proof to CPDM Party that we are not on the same footing with them. They are under investigation by the people for all the crimes against humanity. This is not the appropriate time to clown or play over the intelligence of Cameroonians again. No Presidential election in 2011 until the CPDM regime tells us how they have run that country for 27 years.

 

• We must recognize and explore our rich cultural and religious diversity in a deliberate effort to prevent "tribal violent conflicts"  , genocide or civil war, which is characteristic of all tyrannies and dictatorships especially within Africa. Therefore, empower Cameroonians to become nation builders through mutual respect and peaceful co-existence.

 

• In this light, we see a vision for Cameroon where our leaders will serve as Public Servants and not Masters. We oppose the CPDM tricks of lifetime positions to some ministries. It is motivated by tribalism but it is unacceptable for CPDM regime to treat Cameroon like a private plantation. Enforcement of Democratic Principles includes the house of chiefs/ traditional rulers within the dynasty in order to avoid mediocrity, misrule, misgovernment and mismanagement. Enforce Social Justice Reforms in all forms and shapes. Movement: Political Revolution( new constitution to reflect federated States, separation of powers, reparation for neo-colonial enslavement , campaign for release of capital flight, Free Trade, autonomous currency, ban traditional rulers from indulging in partisan politics except they give off their positions as traditional rulers, separation of church and state, end tribalism and lawlessness and enforce stringent moral principles to curb abuse of any sort especially corruption, end the colonization of Cameroonians by Cameroonians.

 

• Nation builders must capture this vision and promise for Cameroonians and their friends to live under acceptable human conditions; create an environment for possibilities and opportunities through Science and technology, Economic industrialization for job creation, education, health care and insurance, urban and rural electrification, road reconstruction and "waterfication", Urban and Rural planning and remodeling of subjugated communities, foster a diplomatic and international peaceful co-existence with other nations under the universal human principles ,which governs other nations. Cameroon must not be an exception to the decent human principles.

 

 

DFUC is a force to advance the commongood for all people that dwell in our country. We must see them as Stakeholders whether they are whites or blacks, foreigners or citizens. All of us must come together and rebuild Cameroon society to sparkle and shine like the stars and moon. This is our time and we must mend or mess. We cannot afford to waste this time and opportunity. President Paul Biya has ruled Cameroon for 27 years without regards to the law. It is not O.K. It is time for him and his party to pave the way for the birth of a new Cameroon.  Thanks sincerely
