THE MANIFESTO FOR A VIRTUOUS AND FREE WORLD: THE CASE OF CAMEROON SOCIETY IN AFRICA

THE MANIFESTO  A VIRTUOUS AND FREE WORLD: THE CASE OF CAMEROON IN AFRICA.                  01/09/2010 WASHINGTON, DC , USA                  Revised July 10, 2010 Newark,NJ,USA                  Revised June 3, 2011 Newark ,NJ,USA                   PREAMBLE:   We are profoundly conscious that we Cameroonians\Africans encompass an integral part of the human race that are entitled to be free and endowed with inalienable and sacred rights within the cosmos. We are inclined to become part of the unprecedented global "Truth Commissions" movement  in South Africa, Liberia, Kenya etc through the eyes of Prescillia Haye and former UN Secretary General, Mr Kofi Anan , which have successfully helped other nations in the process of healing, reconciliation and reconstruction to advocate for the Cameroon Truth Commission as soon as possible( CTC)   We believe in a loving God to whom we are answerable with our conscience and that all people are born free.That freedom must not be reserved for a “selected few”. We are inspired by the vision of the Founding Fathers of the United States under the leadership of President Thomas Jefferson as follows;   “That all human beings are born free and equal,  that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.”  CONSEQUENTLY:   -  Mindful of more than 50 Years of corrupt tyranny and Dictatorship since Cameroon acquired a partial Independence from France and Britain; -  Conscious of the vast natural wealth and endowments of the lands and peaceful peoples of Cameroon ; -  Conscious of  the fact that the Government of Cameroon has flagrantly violated the Constitution of Cameroon in its entirety as well as usurped the inalienable and sacred rights of Cameroonians by multiple violations of the Constitution; - Conscious of the ungodly dictatorship cultivating and sustaining mismanagement, misinformation, misrepresentation, misdirection and underdevelopment of our nation; -  Granted that a free and democratic society be effective  and have a lasting impact on the civil society under good governance and  the rule of law; -  Disappointed by the fact that there are many Cameroonians in the Diaspora on exile and political asylum due to the extensive misdeeds of the Government of Cameroon; -  Inspired and strengthened by the true spirit of patriotism for our country Cameroon derived from the hunger to make life safe for all; - Considering the fact that it is increasingly urgent for us patriotic and concerned Cameroonians to articulate a new vision towards a free Cameroon to enable all people who are part of Cameroon to dream like others and see their dreams come true; -  Believing that there are other nations and people who are free and serve as an example of progress and prosperity founded on a visionary foundation;   WE therefore Resolve: - To empower a new political  citizenry\leadership with patriotism, courage, wisdom and compassion to lead Cameroonians to participate in building a free Cameroon in the light of the socio-cultural ,economic and political needs of all. In that way, enhance respect for human rights and promote human dignity through justice, peace and prosperity - To enhance and absolutely uphold a transparent framework for the fundamental respect of human rights and freedom as a prerequisite to nation building and nationhood above all other obligations. - To act as an alternative movement for democracy grounded in good governance and the rule of law. - To adopt the vision  of the “Founding Fathers of the United States” that all human beings are born free and equal,  that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; - To connect, network, dialogue and mobilize Cameroonians and stakeholders around the world to support the vision of building a new Cameroon for greater possibilities and opportunities for every citizen within Cameroon regardless of origin,  ethnicity, sex, religion, language, culture and political linings. - To adopt the vision  for a 33 Council for a 24 months  transitional government to empower Cameroonians and stakeholders from all walks of life to invent a new political paradigm that guarantees freedom and democracy through transparency and accountability under the rule of law and Constitution. - To adopt a decentralized federal form of Government to enable regional participative economic and social development. -To create a Nation on the basis of equal Economic and Social Justice, equal economic opportunities and African Economic Ownership & Empowerment. - To promote and enhance a value-based society wherein people are respected and honored on the basis of their Character and Service rather than by alien\internal Machinations of Corporate interference, personal gullibility, intellectual and psychological classism, and devaluation of self-authorship. - To engage in global advocacy and humanitarian relief of all natures to liberate, re-enliven, democratize, moralize and develop our nation boundlessly and empower the people to be part of this endeavor according to their aspirations and dreams.    Jonathan  F.

TRUTH COMMISSIONS: THE POLITICS OF FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION IN AFRICA

In this trilateral dialogue in 2009 , Jonathan Awasom engaged James Ashu and Victor Katte on the question of  healing the nation through forgiveness and reconciliation under the canopy of the famous truth commissions seen as one of the most effective ways to move a country and people forward  beyond conflict, and anger. This is a reminder that since 2009, I have been very consistent about the formation of a transitional government in Cameroon so that the Cameroon truth commission will be factored into the transition as a driving force to help navigate the process without anger or revenge granted that perpetrators of crimes against humanity, violation of human rights and corruption cling unto power by any means necessary because they are afraid of being held accountable.

It is important that Mr Paul Biya and his government pave the way for my generation to handle this process with reason and commonsense. I know Cameroonians are bent on seeing Paul Biya leave and he should not try to manipulate us again or rely on the use of force because we are not ready for civil war or any form of violence that will undermine the rights of innocent children; boys, girls and most importantly women and nursing mothers. Since every member of the CPDM government is married with children including Mr Paul Biya himself, they must consider this period in history a turning point where neither feminism nor masculinism will overshadow our global call for the human and civil rights of all people to be respected and protected regardless of gender, creed,origin , race and class. Take a moment and explore this debate. Thank you always.

Prof. JTA

Forgiveness is a foregone conclusion in this case. Who are we forgiving? How? Why? When? What? etc. I think all options are opened. I think I have been driven a lot of times about this concept of forgiveness beginning from the time I introduced Cameroon Integration, Reconciliation and Unification Coalition( CIRUC). As you may know, the truth and reconciliation commission in South Africa enable people to confess their misdeeds but were not sentenced to jail.

This same commission was reintroduced in Liberia and the commissioners were sponsored from here in Minnesota. I worry that all these was happening only after war and destruction. It does not look like we have any control over the attitude and behavior of people with power and in power because if we did we would solve these problems right away.I want you to know that I am not the first Cameroonians seeking a peaceful political transitional to enable accountability and reconciliation. I have never known of a people who are so docile and peaceful but I have never also known of any government, which would prey on such peace loving people like Cameroonians.

 Even if the people are sometimes too nice to be true, what we are saying is sympathy be directed to the powerless and downtrodden, and not to those who abuse power without impunity. While I agree under a very difficult moral circumstance that the oppressor, too need to be free, this argument is only a non-violent means to tickle the minds of the oppressor to cooperate with their own liberation from evil. It was the driving force behind the Civil Rights Movement led by Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

A Transitional Government, which I am seeking has the hallmarks of National Reconciliation rooted in recognition of the rights of all people to be free. However, that will be examined in the light of cultural differences, the fact is CPDM has violated the Constitution and it is time for arrogance to take a back sit as far as our common humanity is concerned. We are not made to be slaves to other human beings. It is always wrong and unacceptable. Death people do not bite but they live behind memories and generations of people. I wonder how we can downplay on this?

Do we want to live this world and be a blessing or a curse to posterity and the families we live behind? If people are condemning colonization and slavery, I think all of us must not embrace systems, which continue to perpetuate the enslavement and dehumanization of others. Most European countries have worked very hard to improve, rebuild and restructure their systems in ways that they are protecting the basic human rights of all persons. The French system fell, Berlin Wall fell, the British empire also fell, Nazism fell apart, racial segregation in America was outlaw, apartheid never could stop the South African people from being free etc. For how long will CPDM continue to manipulate us?

Nobody has ever gained from evil in this life. I know this for sure . My concern is that some people are sympathizing with  injustice and oppression. They chose to behave in that fashion and we must consider the situation of their victims at all times. Look at a statement like this one by FOY HUBERT. I don't know what he was talking about.

"The government have to commit to provide their security, guarantee and promote their political and economic rights. This suggest that it is doable. In the context of Cameroon, one political tool would be granting Amnesty for some years and putting in place some concrete economic measures to ensure the wellbeing and security of President Biya's family while out of office and others whole have earnestly serve Cameroon for decades but might have questionable records due to the cap they were forced to put on under the regime. Then put these experts to work to educate young Cameroonians and other Africans by sharing their wonderful experiences as leaders. It might be hard, but it cannot be completely ruled out that ex-policians like to share their wealth of knowledge while in retirement, especially with NGO. It is surprise to hear what some will say about the regime and brilliant ideas that often come out to improve policy decisions" Foy Hubert

In his statement, I have not found any single reference to the victims..He is advocating for policies of vindication for them and nothing is proposed for all the victims and their families under these men and women. I think that it is pure selfishness and it continues to make one very concerned about where they are coming from.

I don't think that  it is fair for Paul Biya and CPDM to hang unto power simply because they are afraid of what might happen if they were not there. They have not expressed such fears because if that is their problem then I think Cameroonians have an easy answer.

They should be open to all possibilities and think about the long term consequences of their actions on the nation and posterity.

Hello Rev. Awasom,
I do not disagree with you in the facts of our history. The problems we all face are the same. You and I only seem to disagree about possible solutions. Reverend, I am trying to think about what people did to forgive each other in similar or even worse situations. Well as a layman, I think of forgiveness of one another. I therefore expect a man of God like you to support my approach. What about that? All of us are victims. Happy Saturday.

"He even stood the risk of losing his own life if he did not do what was required"  JTA

Professor

Your rationale is very very very troubling.
To be honest with you I am shocked but that is you.
That comment of yours is very immoral from every standpoint in this life. Could he not stage an escape?Please, please, please, please, Professor, what are you talking about?

Western Leaders are heroes or become richer when they fall from grace or leave power because they are hailed for defending their Nations and people. Patriotism is utmost for any Statesmen and women to be valued by their citizens.Can you explain to me why you expect us to glorify people who are a enemies of their own people? Instead of the President and his government protecting the citizens like a mother hen would protect her chickens, they torture, kill and murder at random.

JTA,  you are far from the truth . The statistics and facts are not the same. Please, I pray that you reframe your argument again and look at the truth especially during this season of advent when the prince of truth, justice and peace comes like an innocent baby.It is good enough you know that some of them prefer to stay in power than leave and be haunted for their evil deeds against innocent people. Even if they stay there ,history will not forget their wickedness, malice, inhumanity and evil like Stalin , Hitler and Saddam Hussein.

Break the evil cycle? You are asking the people who are oppressed and hurt by evil people to break the evil cycle? What did they do to contribute to the evil and vicious cycle?
Oh Jesus Christ of Nazareth, please come down and pour your spirit on Prof JTA.The only way to break the evil cycle is for them to repent and do the things we have asked of them. Paul Biya and his government are corrupt and have never declared their assets according to the Constitution.Let them comply , resign and hand over most of what has been stolen to the State . Then we will go from there.

It is indeed worrisome that you would call for pardon for the sake of pardon for crimes inflicted upon humanity. Do you ever think of the families and people who are hurt? Why is it that too often some people sympathize with wicked and evil people than with their victims? Oh God, why has thou fosaken us?

Prof James , your said Ahidjo was working toward reconciliation? Then what happened that he wanted to come  back when he was ousted from power? Let us not pay too much attention as to whether it was right or wrong! But if he was sorry for his misdeeds, he would peacefully retire and make his apologies and move on. His abortive coup d'etat was exploited by Paul Biya to cajole Cameroonians. Afterwards, he has turned against us!

Never mind. They come and go and generations of people continue to live. Now the Northerners were murdered mercilessly by Paul Biya in retaliation.  Whose knows what is awaiting the Betis in revenge? That is why Semengue and Owona are Ministers for life .

Take Care JTA . I just don't agree with your views.They are very strange.

HelloVic,
We are now beginning to reason together. First, as you implicitly admit, Ahidjo was just doing the job the French recruited him to do. You would also admit that there were a lot of other Cameroonians eager to take his place if he did not measure up. He even stood the risk of losing his own life if he did not do what was required.

No, Vic, it is not a question of lionizing our past leaders. We cannot lionize them. They were already either lions or goats during stay in power. Only history will proclaim that. Our generation cannot do it. It is rather a question of debasing and abusing the legacies of our former leaders, as mean of settling old scores. We even chase those who are alive around the world and put them on trial for mistakes they made while leading. It is not good. I remember an interview given late President Siaka Stevens of Sierra Leone by a BBC reporter in the mid 1980s.

The reporter asked Siaka Stevens when he expected to retire. Siaka Stevens laughed and asked this question: "Do you want me to hand over power and become a vagabond like Ahidjo?" Therein lies the problem with Africa in general, and Cameroon in particular. We talk of when Paul Biya would retire. To tell you my truth, if I were Paul Biya, I would remain there for live, so long as I am sure that some of you will come after me to settle old scores.

If you want me out you would have to come after me and push me out. Why would I want to leave office only to become a vagabond like Ahidjo? Think of it carefully. After all, Ahidjo had already started a process of reconciliation with the Bamilekis and Bassas. I would dare say he was largely succeeding. Many Bamilekis and Bassas were brought into government. Who knows what would have happened if he continued in office a little longer?

The way I see it, we should stop pursuing our past leaders for "crimes" they committed while in office. Paul Biya should make political hay by bringing home Ahidjo's remains for an honorable burial... That would make his future retirement interesting. If today, we encourage him to pay Ahidjo in Ahidjo's own coins, we shall tomorrow, also encourage the next person to pay Paul Biya in Biya's own currency.

 That is not be what we should encourage. We should rather make retirement an attractive option for our past leaders. Do leaders of the developed world not become richer after leaving office? Why should we put ours on trial? We should know that who ever holds public office will never satisfy all the people. He may not even satisfy anybody at all times. Let us break the evil cycle of vindictiveness.

Hello James,


I like the phrase you used - "victim of circumstances" . I agree that it is difficulty to see how these leaders could have had other options, given the geopolitical divisions in the global climate at the time (cold war, etc). Ahidjo was just a tool in the hands of the French colonial administration, who for his own position was not allow much room to maneouvre.


I think the way forward is not to lionise these victims of circumstances, but to feel some form of sympathy for them.  We need some form of  "national reconciliation" to deal with the issues from the past.  If we carry on without addressing these issues, we are likely to hit the same sort of leaderships as we have been unfortunate to have in the past.

Hello Vic,
Read "The Beautiful Ones Are Not Yet Born" by Ayi Kwei Armah. Ahidjo just had to fight if he wanted to remain president. I see him as a victim of circumstances beyond his control. Someone has to put and end to this circle vindictiveness that victimizes all Cameroonians. When I look into the future I see a long line Ahidjos, Biyas, Ashus, Kattes.... I do not see any good one among them. Let someone break the evil cycle.

My Fellow Cameroonians and Africans


I am writing to reiterate that I just called the French Embassy today at 10:27 am with my cellular phone number 973-282-6461 and spoke both in French and English with an important official at the French Embassy with respect to our political advocacy to enable a peaceful political transition in our beloved, nation Cameroon.

I introduced myself and made him to understand that other Cameroonians have also called previously and that I was also adding my voice as a Cameroonian on political asylum within the US.

Although I did not pursue the conversation absolutely in French, at least I made him to understand that I am kind of bilingual and that we were open to work together for a peaceful political transition in Cameroon. I insisted on the phone that we neither want war in Cameroon nor to see anybody hurt or killed because of our desire to change Cameroon.

It was a very fraternal and friendly,  and yet very assertive conversation. I phoned the French Embassy in order to underscore the need for unity among agents of change and to discredit those who are hypocrites in our midst. They know themselves and we all know them already as they continue to distract us like barking dogs while the caravan and the train for freedom is moving on.

Because we know those who want to keep the statusquo as it is obvious from their constant attacks, I decided that I won't disclose the details nor the name of the official who earned my admiration and respect because of my peaceful  and centrist approach. I will provide more information to him as he requested and we will go from there.

I believe that we are confronted by enemies against change and some of them are indeed illiterates or dementia or hypocrites. All we must do is believe in what we are doing for the revolution of the conscience that we began is the most powerful weapon we have when it seems like all is lost. No, my fellow people, rise up and shine. In our own big way we are leaving no stone unturned. In fact, we Cameroonians here in Diaspora have set the pace for the ongoing revolution in Africa.

We should take a pat on our backs. If Africa was still like the one before 2004, perhaps Gbagbo would have been assassinated like Thomas Sankara. Behold, he is only captured because our outcry  for justice has not been falling on deaf ears. HOWEVER WE REGRET THAT BEDCAUSE OF THEM, INNOCENT CIVILIANS WERE KILLED IN THE CONFLICT. THIS IS WHAT WE MUST AVOID.

We have been very proactive, consistent and persistent, and this has not come without pain and suffering. We must remain focused and keep going. The race for freedom is not for the weak- hearted and those who live in fear , will never be free.

I will continue to enhance this conversation and as I said before many roads lead to rome.If you are doing something with your conviction and clear conscience for change,well, God alone sees and knows our intentions. Keep the faith and never , look back but hold unto the thread of hope as we are on the threshold to ensure that Cameroon does not become like other nations.

If you are interested in phoning the French Embassy to add your voice,please, that is entirely up to you. All I know is we have achieved so much for Africa and Cameroon by our refusal to be silent since 2006. The conspiracy of silence, ignorance and illiteracy usually thwart noble dreams and aspirations of a people unless wise men and women, smart and intelligent characters emerge ,and begin to lead fearlessly. This is the leadership we have provided to empower a new generation of right-thinking people to be true to themselves and work for a better human community.

I thank you all for your love for me and most importantly for our country,people oppressed  in the midst of all these trials and temptations.

No. What you're writing is pure non-sense. There is no commonsense in your initial write-up and worst still what you wrote was illogical. You need a graduate degree +commonsense +wisdom to know how to contruct logical arguments as well as identify them. Your statements were contradictory because you actually have a different method from the one that requested a collective action at the French Embassy.

I just called the French Embassy one hour ago and spoke at length with the Executive Assistance to the ... French Ambassador. I won't disclose the details of our conversation but it is critical that some of you who want  change must be in compliance with the natural law of political advocacy and activism . He has requested more information from me ,which I will provide. This phone call is a follow -up to other calls to the stakeholders in Cameroon.

All I am saying is either you call and ask them to cooperate with us to change Cameroon or you call as usual and tell them like CPDM-USA has been doing  that you all love Paul Biya and want him to die in power because it is all rosy and honey in Cameroon! There is absolutely no need to castigate a fellow Cameroonian because he simply called the French Embassy and at the sametime BRAGGING how you are known by the Cameroon Embassy! 

I wanted to bring you to reason because you were very inconsistent and confused.After you attacked the young man, you came back and agreed with me by stating that you are well known by the Embassy! Isn't it a vantage point for you since you are known there more than the Njeck man? Or you were just trying to create this facade of bigmanism that is killing some of you? So, in short, I have always been right, the more reason why you are never at ease with me.I will continue to monitor you .So, watch out when you are at large with your propaganda and distractions

You singled out France, Britain and America for propping up Biya and helping ruin Cameroon’s economy over the past 50 years and accuse them of hypocrisy for advocating freedom and yet not calling upon Biya to step down. It is a valid criticism but you won’t gain much traction in using that to bring about change in Cameroon.( George, whatever! Jonathan will never hold back the truth.France, Britain and America who have aided and abetted dictator Paul Biya MUST also help me to remove him now because I care more about the people oppressed and not about what anybody thinks about me now
France, Britain and America should know better because they profess themselves to be civilized and industrialized nations and hopefully that comes with respect for the rights of others to prevail)
 
First, you should know that France won’t remove Biya and, even if it does, will replace him another Biya who serves French interests. ALL foreign powers operating in Africa do the same thing. China, Russia, and even Iran all have clients in Africa, propping up brutal dictators. I don’t see or hear China, Russia or Iran asking any African dictator to step down( Well, so long as France, Britain and America like the natural and mineral resources of Cameroon, they must also give us freedom in exchange for whatever they want. I don't think the problem is about who replaces him. We are talking about a political system that is dangerously corrupt and cruel, and was once rejected by the same people who are walking up and down in Cameroon as if it very normal. We need to change the system and the people, then create a new political system that will lead to good governance and the rule of law. All these can happen without hurting the interest of whoever in Cameroon. Of course, we will always need trading and business partners  for our resources, right?) We want to be in charge of our destiny and promise. 
Second, disabuse your mind of the notion that if the U.S. or France barks an order, ordering Biya to step down, presto! Biya will be gone the next day. It is wishful thinking. Obama has called upon Khaddafy of Libya and Assad of Syria to step aside but they are still there( No, If these powers I have mentioned support our call for Paul to go, he must go. I know the world in ,which I live. It is what it is and I will never stop my protest until these three big powers do what is right. I cannot pretend that only we , Cameroonians will succeed to remove Paul Biya because they must know that what they are doing is against the sacred and inalienable rights of Cameroonians. We need their cooperation right now because they have been told the truth. I don't pretend and will never feign affection in order to win someone's love because it will be fake. I will keep telling US, Britain and France what I feel strongly about.) 
The BOTTOM LINE – and this is the message I carried to Oslo – is that we will defeat these dictators from within – without Western or foreign help. If we did it in Ghana, it can be done elsewhere. Foreign powers should be at liberty to prop up whoever they wish in Africa but should do so at their own risk and peril.
 
The “Odious Debt Principle” holds that a foreign loan to an illegitimate regime to repress its people is deemed “odious” and, therefore, non-repayable. The U.S. applied this doctrine in 1898 when it captured Cuba and refused to repay Cuba’s debt to Spain. In 1923, Costa Rica also refused to repay the debts incurred by its dictator, Frederico Tinoco. In 1990, the threat by Bangladeshi opposition parties to apply the doctrine caused foreign aid donors and creditors to deny funds to the military regime of President Hussain Mohammad Ershad. It subsequently collapsed.( Yes, I agree with you. No more loans or donations to any corrupt tyranny and dictatorship until they declare their assets and account for the gross violation of human rights. Any loans given to Cameroon since I filed an official complaint against Paul Biya and the CPDM regime to US Government  will be non-repayable. It is for the best interest of all of us with vested interest in Cameroon to comply with the universal princiuples of human dignity)  
I will post my remarks in Oslo shortly.

Dear Prof George

Welcome back from  Oslo Freedom.

So, George what did you people discuss about dictator  Paul Biya of Cameroon who has been there 10 x10x10=30 years including the years he served as PM under the previous dictator? I am looking for that your list of world dictators again. I can't find it. Please, repost it again so that I will refresh my eyes ans mind  with what you said about dictator Paul Biya.

France, Britain and America have been in Cameroon for more 50 years and that has ruined our economy, too. How could free people be walking up and down in a society that is not free without bothering? There is a sort of travesty in the way that these big power conduct themselves in the world.

I wonder if you do realize that no dictator will ever be in power without being aided and abetted by the same people who accuse them now. So, I hope US, Britain and France will support our call for dictator Paul Biya to step down just as they did to oust President Mubarak lately.

Is there any concreate plan for us Cameroonians and did you take up our case in Oslo?
This is our appeal to Paul Biya to step down and let me know what you are doing to help us Cameroonians and if there is someone we need to contact let me know, Prof. Let us act fast although you seem to be joking about this Oslo matter. If you have some reliable information or persons I need to connect

Thank you

Jonathan

Thank you so much Prof George Ayittey.

Your rebuttal is very encouraging and thoughtful . Now, I have hope for Oslo Freedom.

Those who came to Africa and gave us dictatorship and corrupt tyranny are learning today that some of us have realized that it not a guranteed system of government with a life time warranty. Therefore, those who brought it have to take it back because we must make a u-turn now or never. So long as these big nations are meddling into our societies with the help of other Africans in our midst , we must get them involved by getting right into their face in one way or the other to disrupt, dismantle and defeat these dictators

The undeniable truth is that we are now confronted with an enormous problem in the continent of Africa like the fate that befell black people in America. We are now condemned to live with these foreign bodies who want our blessing so bad to the extent that they will do anything to kill our people for them. Our demise lies in the senseless betrayal by some Africans who only live for themselves.

I think we need to educate our fellow Africans who are  hoodwinked to think that they could ever defeat a dictator at the ballot box. When we choose the wrong fight, we waste our time and energy  in a goose chase. I don't believe even for one second that even Obama would win an election in Cameroon organized by dictator Paul Biya.

All of us Africans must work together to dismantle these very bad systems of Government and my point is that Cameroon be next on the list. We , Africans must work together to salvage our continent from such men and women who do not care about the human condition of our people. Whether or not these countries are calling Dictator Paul Biya to step down, I know for sure that it is more than just pronouncement on the Presidential podium at the White House.

Yes, you are absolutely, right. The world bank and IMF must stop giving loans to Cameroon Government  until we have removed dictator Paul Biya and his cohorts from power and formed a transitional government toward good governance and the rule of law.

It is unsettling to give loans to countries,whose dictator Paul Biya  and his government have never declared their assets because the loans end up in their private bank accounts. What is the implication? They indebt the country, ruin its destiny and await  patiently for civil war or genocide in order to kill innocent people and  destroy our promise. This must not happen again while educated people stand by and watch.

Africa has two types of people namely, true Africans and estranged Africans. All true Africans must unite from one country to the other and cultivate the will, resources and means to inject instantaneous revolutions from one country to the other to chase away these wicked rulers. I mean wicked and heartless human beings who are ready to kill our people. No, there must be a way out of all these mess and Africans should not say that " well, let Cameroonians take care of their own problems...". No, it is all of us defined by one destiny and one humanity to protect and support one another

Thank you and we must act now .

Hi George,
As I said, it could be that a "Piece of work" means something different in another country. Sayings are cropping up all the time, many from the US. I hate the latest one, "man up" even the Australians say it.Ghaddafi has had a long run, forty two years since he toppled King Idris. It is certain he won't run, who would have him anyway? My experience, or rather Andy's experience, of the Libyan people was that they were nice people, my husband was diplomatic, he didn't talk politics or ask them awkward questions, also, he respected their beliefs. I wish he was still here, I could ask him what he thinks of the current situation. I think what you say will happen is correct, it will be one or the other. Britain has apparently no money yet it is spending £100 million on bombing Libya. I doubt they will stop till they achieve their objective, to get Ghaddafi. It's obviously about oil at the end of the day.
I'm going to check out the Oslo link.
Pat.

PAUL BIYA OF CAMEROON IS A CORRUPT DICTATOR: THE WORLD MUST KICK HIM OUT AND HOLD HIM AND HIS GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE

All Cameroonians and Africans must rise up and force this African- Cameroonian dictator to leave power like Mubarak of Egypt. No Presidential elections in Cameroon until Dictator Paul Biya is gone. We must support the decision of the Cameroon main opposition as well as FREECCAMA  to send this man away from the kingdom of human beings since he has decided to dine with the devil( dictatorship and corrupt tyranny) his father. Make no mistake about this. The ICC and UNO must act now in history to bring this dictator and his cohorts to justice.   Please, pass  it on and let all Cameroonians and African start mobilizing against this man. He has reigned in Cameroon for about 40 years now since he was Prime Minister and then President while our people have no health care system, poor education, bad roads, no social policy for the middle class and poor, no public security and absolutely no plans for the future of the nation and Cameroon.   His riches are in Germany, France and China and may be America and Swiss Bank. Please, have pity on us Cameroonians and join our appeal and effort to kick this man from power. He is too corrupt and brutal to be one of our leaders in this century. According to article 66 of  Cameroon's constitution he and his government officials were supposed to declare their assets but so far none of them have ever declared their assets. Here is the constitution for your information to help you read article 66. Recently, Cameroon has failed to meet the requirment for Millenium Challenged Corporation due the corrupt tyranny and dictatorship headed by Mr Paul Biya. They must not be above the law and the world must not turn a blind eye to the constant and persistent protest to see into it this man is removed from power.   PDF] CONSTITUTION of the Republic of Cameroon Adobe PDF - View as HTML Law No. 96-06 of 18 January 1996 to amend the Constitution of 2 June 1972 The National Assembly has deliberated and adopted; The President of the Republic hereby enacts the ... confinder.richmond.edu/admin/docs/Cameroon.pdf Cameroon Government Dismisses Opposition Threats to Disrupt Polls Peter Clottey  May 23, 2011 Photo: AFP "Cameroon's incumbent President Paul Biya Cameroon’s information minister has dismissed a threat by the main opposition Social Democratic Front [SDF] to disrupt the October presidential election. He calls the threat “overly ambitious and pretentious.” Issa Tchiroma, who also heads the opposition Front for the National Salvation of Cameroon, says allegations of repression, intimidation and harassment of opponents of the ruling party are unfounded. “They have no grounds [and] no reasons whatsoever [to disrupt the election] because they haven’t been mandated by the opposition in general,” said Tchiroma. The SDF claims irregularities during the recent voter registration process. But, Tchiroma said the opposition has failed to use proper channels to address their concerns ahead of the vote. “[They are] completely wrong. They use a prism, which completely distorts the reality. This is fact,” said Tchiroma. He said the SDF will be contravening the constitution if it disrupts the vote. Tchiroma denies accusations that opponents of the administration are being prevented from campaigning on radio and television. “The state does not interfere at all in the editorial lines of those television [and radio] stations,” Tchiroma said. But, the leader of the main opposition party, John Fru Ndi, insists there is no level-playing field and that the electoral commission lacks independence, which he said will undermine the credibility of the presidential vote. “The opposition has for years been calling for an independent electoral body that will conduct elections that will be free, fair and transparent. But, they ignored all of them,” said Fru Ndi. He also said that the composition of the top leadership of the electoral commission comprises former members of the ruling Democratic Rally of the Cameroonian People [RDPC], a charge the RDPC denies. “It is easier and better for us to disrupt the elections and we stop there and make sure that things go rightly in Cameroon than to take the North African style [uprisings],” said Ndi. The electoral commission says so far, five presidential aspirants, including incumbent President Paul Biya, have declared their intentions to run in the October elections"     http://www.voanews.com/english/news/africa/Cameroon-Government-Dismisses-Opposition-Threats-to-Disrupt-Polls--122457339.html

In view of the unconfirmed announcement about the visit of Cameroon CPDM  Prime Minister to the United States of America, we, the people have decided to address this rumor head-on in order to know the truth and facts about such a visit. We take such matters very seriously and will want the CPDM-USA  organizers to understand the level of  our anxiety and may be some curiosity. As true patriots and law abiding citizens, we believe that it is appropriate to reach out to the sources that started spreading the propaganda because we want some accurate information as we are preparing seriously to meet with the Prime Minister and his Delegation with  OUR CONCERNS AGAINST HIS CPDM REGIME AND GOVERNMENT. Up till now, we, the people have not had the itinerary of  the CPDM regime delegation to the USA led by Prime Minister Philemon Yang and Minister Ngole Ngole. So far, we have  only heard through unconfirmed sources that the Prime Minister of Mr Paul Biya and CPDM regime was due to visit the CPDM -USA and other para-CPDM groups. Any clandestine visit by the PM to individuals and special CPDM groups will be questioned and considered corrupt. We, the people have the right to know about this visit whether or not they like it because they are using the people's tax money for such a trip. They must account to every Cameroonian within the US about the visit. It is our inherent and sacred right as Cameroonians who are presently in this country on political asylum because of persecution in one form or shape to know what is their mission to this country. We must report to US officials immediately about their current efforts to know what is going on in order for US officials and concerned citizens to keep track of this vital intelligence. THE PRIME MINISTER'S  TOWN HALL FORUM   Cameroonians other than CPDM praise- singers are  waiting IMPATIENTLY  for Cameroon CPDM regime Prime Minister to announce his Town Hall Forum following his visit to the United States to explain his mission into this country as well as face the music of our time. The time for the Prime Minister's questions and answers session has come. The PM might be very lucky that he is in the right society where he cannot be stopped by his BOSS from taking questions from us. Alleluia, praise the United States of Free People,Amen. Please those who are hiding the Prime Minister in their private homes or some unknown Hotel should know that he is a public figure and MUST speak to all Cameroonians and not only to PRO- CPDM Cameroonians in this country looking for bribes and favors from a corrupt establishment that does not want to quit and does not want free and fair elections. We are ready  to attend the Town Hall Forum to bring their concerns directly to the Prime Minister in the presence and witness of the Civil Society. We are  warming -up and getting ready to face the Prime Minister. What a great day that will be for Cameroonians and the world to see Cameroonians in motion to discuss about their future. This request is in keeping with our belief in Government and Ethical Standards, Transparency and Accountability  as well as in the light of  the previous Town Hall , which was organized by the US Ambassador to Cameroon in Washington,DC about a year ago. Dear Honorable Prime Minister, my name is ....... Welcome to the United States of America. We know you have been very busy but here are some quick questions for understanding, Please, could you kindly answer these questions accordingly;  Who sponsored your trip to the United of America?  How many people within the CPDM regime are among your entourage?  Is there any member of the opposition among your delegation? Why not?  How much does it cost you to make this  round trip?  Did  you explain to the Cameroon people the reasons for your trip to the US?  When you applied for VISAS to travel what reasons did you give for your visit to obtain your visas?  How long will you folks  stay in the US and where will you be living ? Who will you visit and what will you be talking about? Are you going to travel to other States where Cameroonians are based? Will the US Ambassador to Cameroon be present at the Prime Minister's Town Hall Forum  since you are visiting her country?  PRIME MINISTER'S TOWN HALL FORUM QUESTIONS 1) Human Rights Violation of Cameroonians with examples 2)The Constitution of Cameroon with emphasis on Article 66. We will ask the PM and Ambassador and Ministers if they have declared their assets ? If the answer is NO, we will recommend strongly that the US officials arrest them immediately 3) Cameroonians  will ask the Cameroon CPDM Prime Minister and his delegation especially Minister Ngole Ngole some tough questions on Political Science as regards the evil Political system of dictatorship and corrupt tyranny, which they are part of . Minister Ngole Ngole as  a Professor of Political Science and a graduate from an American University for that matter has some serious explaining to do to Cameroonians in the Diaspora on political asylum because of political persecution by the CPDM regime and government they are representing on their visit to the United States of Free People.    4)We will ask the Prime Minister and his delegation to explain to Cameroonians why there is a such a disconnect with the Economic Data Facts against Cameroon with the actual economic situation in Cameroon. Everybody should revisit the Cameroon Economic DATA FACTS posted recently by  Nelson K Bame. Where have they kept all the loans taken from IMF and world bank when the people are abused and deprived this much? 5) We will grilled the Prime Minister and his delegation about the CPDM corrupt election rigging machine( ELECAM) , which has been condemned by the European Union. To read more about what the European said, you can download this site. European Union is very Worried over Cameroon http://www.newstime%20africa.com/%20archives/%206216 6) We expect a joint resolution  to be signed by the Prime Minister   before the Prime Minister departs from the United States with copies of resolution to Mr Paul Biya and CPDM regime. Then copies will be made available to US officials( US Ambassador to Cameroon, State Department, Congress of the Republicans, Democrats and Independents, Religious authorities, Human Rights Organizations and other concerned citizens of the world) Please, those who are responsible for the visit of the CPDM  Prime Minister to the United States are reminded to make sure that  this memo is brought to the attention of the Prime Minister as soon as possible.  Mr/Rev/ Pastor Jonathan Fru Awasom can be freely contacted 24/7 at anytime @ his cell Phone number ,which is 973-282-6461 or email: jonathanawasom@yahoo.com Please this communique be given a wide publicity to all Cameroonians around the world.

Keep up the good work for the greatest good of the Cameroon community and Africa at large.This only reinforces the fact that we ,Cameroonians must act fast to kick President Paul Biya and his government out like President Mubarak of Egypt in order to rebuild Cameroon under good governance and the rule of law. In that  way we will be able to have the reputation of transparency and accountability to enable us partner with the civil society and other organizations and initiatives around the world to free and  empower our people who are currently suffocating under the corrupt tyranny and dictatorship of the CPDM government. let me also share with you that three years ago I joined debt cancellation advocates mainly citizens of the world because came from all walks of life and represented different countries around the world  and assembled  in Washington DC and Ohio to dvocate for Debt Cancellation with Jubilee, USA. Click on the link below and learn about our efforts to urge the World Bank and IMF to cancel debts in poor societies plagued by  tyranny and corruption. Debt Cancellation is a noble mission towards sustainable development, but  it  is hampered by lack of accountability when Public Officials in countries like Cameroon fail to  declare their Assets according to article 66 that deals a death blow to the concept and practice of good governance.   These loans  from the World Financial Institutions cannot help to promote transparency and good governance  because the private property of CPDM Government  Officials  in Cameroon are  not separate from the State Property and State Treasury. Consequently,  giving more loans to people who perpetuate such  corrupt systems ends up as a Ponzi Scheme( in the mouth of a shark).Ironically they turn around and accept to  be tagged as "Poor Nations"! How do we know that a country is poor when public officials have never declared their Assets? It is hard  to fathom this type of  injustice because if we are a Sovereign nations meaning free from colonization then we ought to know how our resources are managed.   Corrupt CPDM Officials  have stolen billions of dollars  into foreign banks and investments overseas. I  will be introducing you to Article 66 in the Constitution of Cameroon , which calls for Public Officials to declare all their Assets. For more than 50 years none of them have respected  that law. One must wonder why anybody will continue to loan money to such corrupt people knowing fully well that they are not accountable to the civil society.   I joined the campaign for Debt Cancellation in order to advocate for accountability and transparency. Democracy and good governance can only function properly  in societies where the political system is free like the United States. If  you give loans to corrupt people, they will embezzle it and  continue to indebt the country while the citizens are impoverished and subjected to unacceptable standards of living.   There is no other form of modern slavery than what is practiced in a country like Cameroon. A government that deliberately enslaves and dehumanizes innocent citizens without impunity. These officials use the army, police and soldiers to torture, murder and arbitrarily arrest, and illegally detain citizens when they dare stand up to ask for better economic policies and standards. While this is happening their families and relatives are living free and affluent lives overseas. So the question is why the disconnect?   The Cameroon Government's  greatest investment is in the Army and soldiers who help to keep them in power as long as they want. I  bet you that many people from abroad seem to have good intentions towards Africa. However,  to get a State Party like CPDM Party  in Cameroon to implement  democratic reforms is a joke. Of course, they dictate on Cameroonians in almost all Sectors of the Government as well as  disenfranchise more than 7O% of the people. Then majority of  those who are registered are their supporters.   About 20% are Pro-CPDM while may be  about 10% are members of the Opposition Parties. Roughly 10 % of CPDM registered voters in Cameroon are corrupted in some manner to vote for the State Party. As of now about 200 Political parties are either Officially or unofficially registered because some of them are ghost Parties created by the system to hynoptize and confuse  the civil society.All these results in a terrible travesty of democracy ,which has been condemned since time immemorial.   So, why are these folks still allowed to continue with their facade and cynicism? I won't take lipstick and put on the  nose of a pig because she will go back and continue digging the mud.  It is about time to make sure that the universal principles of human dignity ingrained into democracy and good governance  finds expression  in every society.

May the souls of the departed ones rest in perfect Peace and may their good deeds go with them as we continue the good fight for freedom, liberty, democracy , human rights and Peace in the world. Their good deeds will continue to shine and inspire generations to come.President Barack Obama spoke directly to the African Parliamentarians calling on them to check abuses of power. This means we are right to call upon Cameroon Parliament to check the abuses of power by their President, Mr Paul Biya.

"What we will do is increase assistance for responsible individuals and institutions, with a focus on supporting good governance — on parliaments, which check abuses of power and ensure that opposition voices are heard; on the rule of law, which ensures the equal administration of justice; on civic participation, so that young people get involved; 

President Barack Obama, Ghana Parliament on the 11th of July 2009

Fellow Cameroonians and Friends of Cameroon

PARLIAMENTARIANS MUST WAKE UP AND TAKE ACTION

CAMEROONIANS IN THE  DIASPORA FOR  FREEDOM AND CHANGE   ARE CALLING ON THE GOVERNMENT AND PARLIAMENT OF CAMEROON TO FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS  INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO  JUSTICE MBUH, LAPIRO DE MBANGA , PROF. TITUS EDZOA AS WELL AS DECLARE THEIR ASSETS ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 66.

Greetings.There is no doubt that we have succeeded in raising enough awareness against the ills of the CPDM regime of Camereoon to the rest of the world.We have contacted the Congress of the United States and various international bodies and authorities .

Where do we go from here to see the results? Virtuous, free and  changed Cameroon ( V. FREECCAMA)  is moving forward towards freedom and democratic change in Cameroon.Yes, per President Abraham Lincoln, freedom comes first before democracy. It cannot be the other way around. There is one more problem. We lack the cooperation of the Parliament of Cameroon. Lack of action on their path is a major setback to our campaign.So, we must hold Parliament accountable now. We know that everything about Cameroon is not like rotten tomatoes in the garden.

We understand and applaud the endeavors of some of them and their achievements. However, if they are representing the people who elected them, then they should free all political prisoners and end human rights violation of Cameroonians.There can never be democracy in any society where people are termed "Political prisoners". This actually means that such a Nation and Society is under dictatorship. In spite of this, in almost all dictatorships, some Parliamentarians have learned to stand up for the people. We have often blamed the President of Cameroon alone forgetting that there is a Parliament and Parliamentarians who earn great benefits. Out of curiosity haven't we asked to know what is their function?

PM William Wilberforce stood up against slavery in the British Parliament and it was abolished. So, since we have a Parliament in Cameroon, FREECCAM'A is calling on all  Cameroon Parliamentarians to spice up our campaign in the Diaspora to Free all Political Prisoners immediately.We have a constitution that has been violated by the President of Cameroon and all of them ought to hold the President accountable as well as themselves.For the sake of National Unity that most people want, our Parliamentarians should tell the Chief Justice and Commander in Chief, President Paul Biya to sign their Parliamentary request to free all political prisoners.

We, Cameroonians all over the world have this distinguish opportunity in history to ask the Speaker of the Assembly as well as all Parliamentarians of all political Parties especially CPDM Parliamentarians to know that we are deeply troubled by their silence over the gross violations of the human rights of Cameroonians by the Executive and Judiciary branch under their watch.The Parliament ,which constitutes the legislative branch must provide the necessary check and balances, which we require to steer the ship of governance and the rule of law. This was ab observation that President Barack Obama stated in his speech in Africa on July 11th,2009.

We take this matter very seriously because nothing is more disturbing than the misrepresentation of a democracy ,which is far from it.The President and his government and also the Parliamentarians of Cameroon  should support the Diaspora action  to free political prisoners.Our position on this matter is very clear because we cannot achieve any democracy in Cameroon under dictatorship and violation of human rights and extra-judiciary killings.We are calling on the Cameroon Parliament to wake up and take action on   this matter in the next coming weeks immediately. We will ask you to email and also call them as soon as we gather all their contact information. As we contact the government, congress and Parliament of other societies, we must first of all have the audacity to ask Cameroon Parliament and Parliamentarians to perform their job. This is our focus this coming week.

Our main premise is that before we can even have democracy in Cameroon or allow President Paul Biya and CPDM regime  and government  to organize another elections, the human as well as the civil  rights of Cameroonians must be respected and all political prisoners released immediately in order to create an environment where people are safe and able to participate in the democratic process. As of now, it is abundantly clear that among other human rights violation, the violation of political prisoners is counterproductive to democracy, good governance and rule of law.

As you all know in the past several weeks we have been calling on many of you to support our grassroots initiative to advocate for the freedom of Political Prisoners in Cameroon.We will not rest until they are free. We are continuing down that path by asking all of you to take action. We will not rest until we succeed to free all political prisoners. We need your support in order to engage Congress and other International bodies who are monitoring our campaign to free our political prisoners. That is why you are receiving this email from us to reiterate the fact that in the past we have stepped over corpses and people oppressed and failed. This time we risk making another grave mistake.Our Parliamentarians should come clean before Cameroonians and the world because we have not heard a lot about them lately.

In the meantime, take a moment to acquaint yourself with the case we are making on this matter.We urge you to revisit our previous grassroots appeals calling on you to contact Senator John Kerry and Congress  of the United States  as well as all the elected officials of your States about our quest for Justice and Freedom for the oppressed.We must not wait and see the outcome. We must determine the outcome by taking action against injustice and free speech. My fellow Cameroonians and Africans, join us and stand up for Justice Mbuh, Titus Ezoa, Lapiro De Mbanga because their fate is into our own hands within the Diaspora. Even if the CPDM regime disagrees with them that should not call for gross violation of their civil and human rights rights.

They were arbitrarily arrested and falsely charged by the CPDM corrupt judiciary because they were either  the voices of the voiceless or voices of conscience. If Justice Mbuh is free already then all other SCNC members still in that Kondengui be freed, too as well as Titus Edzoa and Lapiro, SDF militants and Human Rights advocates and activists.

This is a reminder of our Target

• All Cameroonians who opposed President Paul Biya within the CPDM Party and regime and got victimized by him deserve human rights and dignity. They should be free from jail.

• All militants of SDF who have been victimized over the years because of their ardent opposition to the CPDM regime and President Paul Biya should be free from jail

• All members of the Southern Cameroon National Council who seek to enforce the Constitution of Cameroon calling for the enforcement of certain agreements as well as minority and indigenous rights of such persons within Cameroon should be free from jail.

• All members of the civil society identified as Cameroonians by birth in their functions as either Journalists, newspaper reporters and mass communication through the media, families, civil and human rights activist victimized by the CPDM regime and President Paul Biya should be free from jail.

Our goal is to paint the Biya regime and system as a vicious cycle that even President Paul Biya and those who claim to be better Cameroonians than others are not safe there. As a result they see each other as a threat to them. A vicious cycle is self-destructive and counter-productive. The only correct solution to such a system is Freedom for both the oppressed and oppressor.

CAMEROON IS A DICTATORSHIP RULED BY A DICTATOR .HE DEFINES THE RULES OF THE GAME TO SUIT HIM AND SO THOSE WHO ARE NOT "LOYAL" TO HIM ARE DOOMED EVEN IF THEY ARE PATRIOTIC AND LOYAL TO OUR BELOVED COUNTRY.

  

However, we have issues with the office of President Paul Biya and want him to Free all political Prisoners including but limited  to Titus Ezoa, Lapiro, Justice Mbuh, all SCNC, SDF and human rights activists he has arbitrarily arrested over the  years and locked -up in order to stay in power. We will not go to sleep until President Paul Biya complies.

We want to reiterate that the government of Cameroon must not get away with systematic destruction of other Cameroonians for the sake handing a  Life Presidency to Mr Paul Biya out of selfishness. We have no ill- intentions against Mr Paul Biya,  his government and Parliament as  persons with  their own  families. We are very loving, forgiving and gracious people who understand the joy of a father and mother.But they must also have consideration and compassion on other fathers and mothers,too  arbitrarily arrested and either jailed or tortured and killed.

PARLIAMENT MUST WORK WITH US TO  FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS IN CAMEROON NOW AND UPHOLD HUMAN RIGHTS OF ALL CITIZENS OR FACE THE HARSH JUDGMENT OF HISTORY.

A FULL TEXT OF THE VIOLATED ARTICLE 66 OF CAMEROON'S CONSTITUTION AT THE CENTER OF CORRUPT TYRANNY

--- On Tue, 1/11/11, Jonathan Awasom <jonathanawasom@yahoo.com> wrote:


My dear Cameroonians, supporters and friends of Cameroon


This new year ,2011 marks another dramatic turn in our unceasing political advocacy to bring to your attention the fact that peace can only reign in every State where there is Truth, Justice and freedom.This is what a Virtuous,  Free and Changed Cameroon in Africa( V.FREECCAMA) stands for.

Truth and Justice in this case of Cameroon means that we must uphold the rule of law according to Cameroon's Constitution. The violation of this Constitution caused our political asylum and demise here within the United States of America. Therefore, all the citizens and people of the United States have a moral obligation to ensure that my concerns are all taken into consideration. One way to go about it is for everyone to contact their elected officials, immigration,ICE and legal channels to support this peaceful campaign to change Cameroon.

As a citizen of Cameroon , it is my sacred and inalienable right like every other Cameroonian and American at home and abroad, to know and understand the facts about our Constitution as well as ensure that it is enforced accordingly. Where the gross violation of our human and civil rights have been caused by the deliberate violation of article 66, we must resist the manipulation of the government of President Paul Biya to avoid it.

In the past two weeks ,I have been making this case to the United States officials and citizens.This is because it is my duty to enlighten , and in some cases educate people about why I believe they have a part to play in our struggle to bring about a freedom and change in Cameroon. I argued vehemently that all Americans and other citizens cannot steer clear of the problems of Cameroon because America is present in Cameroon.

Therefore, today, it is oncemore very exciting for me to release a full copy of the Cameroon constitution with emphases on article 66 here below. You may download the full copy and please pass it on.


"Law No.96-06 of 18 January 1996 to amend the Constitution of 2 June 1972

The National Assembly has deliberated and adopted;

The President of the Republic hereby enacts the law set out below:

The Constitution of the Republic of Cameroon

PREAMBALE

We, the people of Cameroon

Resolved to harness our natural resources in order to ensure the well-being of every citizen without discrimination,by raising living standards,proclaim our right to development as well as our determination to devote all our efforts to that end and declare our readiness to co-operate with all States desrious of participating in this national endeavor with due respect for our sovereignty and the independence of the Cameroon State ...

Article 66  

"The President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, Members of Government and persons ranking as such, the President and Members of the Bureau of the National Assembly, the President and Members of the bureau of the Senate, Members of Parliament, Senators, all holders of an elective office, Secretaries-General of Ministries and persons ranking as such, Directors of the Central Administration, General Managers of public and semi-public enterprises, Judicial and Legal Officers, administrative personnel in-charge of the tax. base, collection and handling of public funds, all managers of public votes and property, shall declare their assets and property at the beginning and at the end of their tenure of office.The other categories of persons to whom the provisions of this article shall apply and the conditions of implementation thereof shall be determined by law"


My dear Cameroonians and supporters of our cause for freedom and change, Article 66 of our Constitution is very clean and clear. All the Cameroon officials who hold such public offices as declared by this particular article were compelled by this law to declare their assets. The person who was supposed to take the lead was the President himself who signed this Constitution into law. Therefore, it is no longer our fault if they failed to honor and respect the rule of law.

This law must be enforced and the sovereignty of Cameroon can be obsolete if by sovereignty it means our country should be governed by men and women who have no regards for our laws. We are calling upon the President and his government to include all those mentioned above to bow to the TRUTH.They must take full responsibility for their violation of our laws and cooperate with our peaceful approach to enable form a transitional government.

By the same token all other people who are resident within Cameroon whether as missionaries, diplomats, business professionals or consultants regardless of their race or national origin doing business with the corrupt government of President Paul Biya are entreated under this law to cooperate with us fully during this transitional period in this history of Cameroon.The citizens and governments of Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain and the United States of America shall support in full measure this unprecedented effort to bring about change in Cameroon that will lead to good governance and the rule of law.

Their cooperation and support has been solicited under necessity because the President and government of Cameroon are dysfunctional and are loosing their sense of entitlement to the sovereignty of Cameroon.All Cameroonians were born free and entitled to be protected by the Constitution of the country as "a common denominator" must be binding on everyone especially those who hold public office per article 66.


God Bless you in this Momentous New Year,2011

REQUEST TO TESTIFY BEFORE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA MADE TO DEMOCRATIC BLACK CAUCUS

The truth is no matter what goes on and on in the name of 2011 Presidential Elections in Cameroon, the world has heard this loud and clear; Mr Paul Biya  and all members of his government are not eligible to run for public office again anywhere in the world including but not limited to his government officials  together with whom they have not declared their assets according to article 66 of the Cameroon constitution. Article 66 is the law and must be enforced accordingly during the transitional government ,which I have proposed. The gross violation of the human rights of Cameroonians for more than 400 years today is triggered by the illegal plundering of the country's riches while the people are languishing in abject poverty as very few are living in opulence at home and overseas due to ill-gotten wealth. The G-8 summit will never ever end poverty and injustice in Africa without reasonable respect for the rule of law. In the case of Cameroon upholding ARTICLE 66 has been a long standing strategy since I contacted the Industrial nations. In recent time, the situation is made worse because the elite do not want to respect the sacred and inalienable rights of other Cameroonians and so they resort to corrupt and abusive means to stay in power as long as they want.This must change. We cannot have elections in Cameroon right now when we know the truth. No democracy shall ever prevail in a society that is bed- ridden by thieves,cruel men and women who are doing everything to uphold the statusquo of corrupt  tyranny and dictatorship. We must uphold the constitution and work towards rebuilding the nation through a transitional government against ,which backdrop we shall then organize free and fair elections. Anyhting short of this is a farce. I believe that we are more educated and enlightened than those who lived before us in the 17th century. In  my initial concern to you, I observed that some Cameroonians who were Pro-government of Cameroon were notorious for cutting ahead of us to manipulate the truth and claimed to be speaking on our behalf! I argued that if they had good faith , they would not be meeting clandestinely with either the White House, Secretary of State or Congress officials whereas they were well informed of our political advocacy and activism since 2006.   As for me, I am not scared to meet together with Cameroonians from all walks of life to face each other over the claims about  the methods of democratizing Cameroon. We cannot change Cameroon by suppressing the voices of others because it defeats the very essence and purpose of democracy and most importantly the free access to the first amendment.   There are no public debates and dialogue except some clandestine political gimmicks displayed by individuals who are clamouring to defend and protect the  corrupt tyranny of Cameroon. Ironically, some of them claimed to the US officials that they were persecuted politically by the CPDM regime!   Experience from American political system has shown that whether or not we have ten  people seeking public office, equal opportunity be given to them to make their case. When there is a political game and manoevres over the rights of others to be heard , it is not a proper reflection of the dreams and aspirations of the people as such corrupt political activities only depict the dark past of corrupt tyranny and dictatorship.   Only Cameroonians who  live in fear would be scared of the truth but we are very determined to advocate and fight for our freedom.This was the complaint that marked the beginning of an aggressive grassroots political campaign to raise awareness against this government as well as explore ways to bring about meaningful change. After this case was made against the Corrupt CPDM government , I proceeded to declare my candidacy for President with 21 points as a blueprint for change. The 21 points are also accompanied with a 33 council ,which points to the strategic plan of action as regards the work of the transitional government. Therefore, I am calling on all stakeholders in Cameroon to take seriously into consideration these issues because our time for freedom has come and it is unacceptable that some people would want to suppress the truth  for freedom, justice peace and reconciliation.  Thank you for your very kind attention to these very serious issues affecting our common destiny and humanity   Jonathan Fru Awasom
