Beautiful! A well-written, insightful, and inspiring piece. A respectable acceptance of our mutual compatibilities, which all Cameroonians, whether true civic-nationalists (union-nationalists), custodians of the system (Biya-regime loyalists, so-called opposition in symbiosis with the system, etc.) and rational "Southern Cameroonists" aka "Ambazonianists" share deep down and should acknowledge.
My conclusion that we all love Cameroon, the Cameroonian idea, ideal, and civilisation got reaffirmed in 2,000 after Cameroon defeated Nigeria in the African Nations Cup in Abuja and grabbed the trophy. In the course of celebrating, the historic SDF’s chief ideologue and leader of the civic-nationalist faction (Dr Samuel Tchwenko) stirred us around Limbe, the town of my birth and No. 1 town of my upbringing (respecting Buea, Mamfe, Bamenda, etc., too). The city’s jubilatory and festive mood was breathtaking. Even die-hard Southern Cameroonians I personally knew, some within our SDF at the time, were not spared from the festive spirit. It was unfettered happiness.
I concluded---from those hours of observation and participation in the jubilation, something many psychosocial analysts are in agreement with, and which the former United States Secretary of state for African Affairs (Tibor Nagy) confirmed by pointing out that both sides of the River Mungo have and feel a sense of Cameroonianness that is very high and cannot be taken from them---that there is no hatred between Anglophone Cameroon(ians) and Francophone Cameroon(ians), even though there are people(elites mostly and foreign entities) from both sides who would like to see English-speaking and French-speaking Cameroonians at each other’s throats; I concluded that the common Cameroonian has no problem with his brother(whether French-speaking or English-speaking) but that they are angered by the dysfunctional French-imposed system made up of the compradors put and sustained in power to suppress and socially-engineer us for the benefit of the global mafia; I concluded that the Cameroonian national team or Cameroonian football was the template to emulate to complete our unfinished liberation and found the New Cameroon that France, the Global Mafia, Cameroonian compradors who did not participate in the cause for its freedom and liberation are bent on preventing.
Exponents of change need the recalibration; we, especially those West of the Mungo need to realise that we belong to the same team and should convince the divisive elements within our ranks to stop polarizing our society and redeem themselves back into the fold; 2026 is the year that we stop making our part of Cameroon the unreliable partner in the final liberation of Cameroon; 2026 is the year we stop being conditional civic-nationalists.
To victory we march as Indomitable Lions; victory we shall have as Cameroonians
