The President of North West Lawyers Association, NOWELA, Barrister Bobga Harmony, who also moonlights as one of the leaders of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium has said that resistance is the only way forward for Southern Cameroonians. Bobga who had a miraculous escape from Bamenda via Mamfe to Cross River State in Nigeria also pointed out that the civil disobedience campaign should continue throughout West Cameroon.
Barrister Bobga Harmony revealed that the Francophone dominated secret service has been killing youths arrested in Bamenda and burying them in mass grave in Soa, located at the outskirts of Yaoundé. “The situation back in Cameroon is very bad, I mean well planned and carefully executed. They will arrest people in Bamenda which has courts but they will be taken to Yaoundé without being accounted for, I confronted the Governor and the Attorney General and they told me they had no idea. A magistrate told me that they had reports that as soldiers moved in the night and see a civilian they will say ‘donne Lui une balle’ , give him a bullet and he will be shot on the thigh.”
The Anglophone advocate further observed that some agents of La Repubique du Cameroun carried huge sums of money to bribe people. “Some came to me and said I should name my price that they know I am the leader and I should just say schools should reopen and lawyers should go back to courts.”
Bobga has vowed to knock on every single door at the United Nations to tell the story of the people of West Cameroon whom he says are marginalized by an Octogenarian leader who has been ruling for over three decades now. He has also said he will be filing suits against the British government for being a silent accomplice.

The Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium has recorded a major breakthrough in the Anglophone struggle and quest for independence. Southern Cameroonians only have to fast, pray and assist the interim leaders in the struggle. To be sure, every West Cameroonian should and must listen only to the Consortium.
History teaches us that the SCNC leaders have been using the struggle to seek for international publicity in order to achieve selfish aims. In an interview we had with the late Albert Mukong on August the 14th 1998 in Bamenda, Mukong observed that Carlson Anyangwe and Simon Munzu, the SCNC founding fathers were fortune seekers. As we write, these two men do not see eye-to-eye anymore.
After gaining too much publicity and their lucrative international jobs, both Anyangwe and Munzu including their SCNC followers went quiet. The Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium has revealed to us that a good leader must stand by his people, fight and die for the cause. We have seen all these qualities in the leaders of the Consortium and their decision to hand over coordination to two committed young men in the Diaspora remains a blessing to the struggle as the likes of Munzu, Anyangwe and George Ngwane had rushed there to seek leadership and negotiate lucrative deals with the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime.
George Ngwane’s welcoming of Mr Biya’s commission on bilingualism was not a surprise to any authentic Southern Cameroons political observer. That reaction was orchestrated from the presidency of the republic through a man call Dr Ewumbue Monono Churchill. Ngwane and Churchill were SWELA’s principal architects of all anti North West press releases. To be candid, these two senior South West academics were the political engineers of the South West Elites Association’s domestic and foreign policy vis-à-vis the North West province and La Republique du Cameroun. No right thinking South West citizen would trust Ngwane at a time when the Consortium has laid to rest the North West/South West Divide.
Correspondingly, ever since Dr Ewumbue Monono Churchill was appointed at the presidency of the republic, the soft spoken diplomat has been trying to create a political space for himself in Fako Division with the support of his mentor, Martin Belinga Eboutou. He is the one pushing Mayor Ekema Patrick of Buea to demonstrate absolute disrespect for former Prime Minister and Senator, Peter Mafany Musonge. Through him, Minister Martin Belinga Eboutou has handed hundreds of millions of FCFA to Mayor Ekema Patrick to destabilize the Southern Cameroons Nationalism.
However, the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium has been consistent and slowly but surely, Anglophones deep within the CPDM party and in government are now being listen to! Southern Cameroonians contributed money in order to support the leadership of CAM and SCNC in their touristic escapades to the UN in New York. And each time they fail, they brought back a UN flag and deceived a gullible people. Where is the flag today?
Southern Cameroonians who sincerely desired a homeland for themselves should give their full financial support to the interim leaders of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium. You can also support the Consortium by calling your family, friends and relatives back home and urge them to observe the civil disobedience campaign, stay at home or go to your place of worship and spend time praying and fasting. Help in keeping the schools closed by safeguarding your children at home.

A court in Italy has ordered a new trial for three-time ex-premier Silvio Berlusconi on corruption charges, creating a new obstacle to his bid to return to office. Milan Judge Carlo Ottone De Marchi scheduled the new trial for Berlusconi on April 5, local media reported on Saturday.
The 80-year-old former Italian statesman allegedly paid as much as 10 million euros and gave expensive gifts to young women to “buy” their silence in various other court cases involving him. The new trial is now aimed at determining whether the payments amounted to hush money and interfered in the other judicial proceedings.
Berlusconi has denied any wronging. One of his lawyers, Federico Cecconi, has said the new prosecution is “the first trial for the crime of generosity.” Berlusconi is the leader of Italy’s center-right Forza Italia Party, currently the opposition party in the parliament.
Last year, Berlusconi was tried for a sexual relationship with an underage teenager when he was premier and then using his influence to cover it up. While he was acquitted in that case, several other complaints of sexual misconduct have been filed against him, in addition to the accusations of financial corruption.
A 2013 tax fraud conviction forced him out of his Senate seat and barred him from holding public office for the next few years. Berlusconi has challenged the ban, taking his case to the European Court of Human Rights. Berlusconi eyes participating in Italy’s national elections, due in 2018, but his hopes for running for office may be dashed with the newly-scheduled trial.

Cameroon Concord News has learnt that the Francophone dominated secret service has arrested many Southern Cameroonians and taken them to an unknown destination. Some of the West Cameroonians were returning from the South West and North West regions but were intercepted at the outskirts of Yaounde, the nation’s capital.
We gathered that a younger brother to the late veteran sports journalist, Ben Njovens is among the hundreds arrested. We also got intelligence that Anglophone citizens are stopped and mobile device searched and those bearing messages from the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium are immediately arrested.

Schools have been deserted, benches parked, classes grounded since November 21, 2017 but government has not given up on it fight to see school resume and subsequent celebration of 11th February this year.
The Secretary General at the South West Governor’s office, Clement Fon Ndikum has insisted that the National Youth Day celebrated every February 11 will take place in the two English speaking regions despite the present deadlock.
He made the declarations in a preparatory meeting for Youth Day held recently in Buea. During the meeting, the SG urged parents to shun fear and send their children to school so that classes can resume in the two English speaking regions.
The government is hoping to use Youth Associations and groups should students and pupils fail to show up on Youth Day. According to Clement Fon Ndikum, “Students only form part of Youth population expected to celebrate the Youth day, there are other youth groups like social groups, like bike riders, political groups that are expected to honor the event.”
To him, Youth day is not just a formality but a patriotic event. Governments scheme to see students march on Youth Day comes on the wake of a counter scheme by social media activists calling for total ghost town on 11th February.

So, asking for a two state federation caused Mr. Biya to dispatch a team of bloodthirsty malevolent maniacs to West Cameroon to slaughter as many Southern Cameroonians, humiliated our Common law lawyers, ridiculed our much respected teachers and gained as much publicity, as possible by arresting our leaders. Minister Atanga Nji say so.
Who remembers when members of the French Cameroun army raped our children in Buea and Bamenda universities, placed our young men and women in military trucks like sardines and ran the military vehicles over many students popping them like balloons and then the CPDM regime posted on CRTV bragging of it? Federalism made them do it. Minister Fame Ndongo says so.
How about when troops loyal to the Francophone regime corralled a group of girls living in Buea and Bamenda raped a goodly proportion of them infecting some with HIV and shot a few others for fun? Federalism again. And let’s not forget the many times French speaking soldiers have killed Southern Cameroonians in Mamfe-Besongabang, Bali, Wum and have gone scot-free!! No! Two state Federation!
This isn’t us saying it. It’s Minister Laurent Esso and Minister Issa Tchiroma. They said Anglophone extremism is the biggest threat La Republique du Cameroun faces. But the Francophone cabinet ministers were only echoing their better who has headed the country for the last 34 years.
They passed a law against Hausas and Fulanis in the Far North region who have been cooperating with the Nigerian Islamic sect, Boko Haram and in some few days they will gather in Yaoundé to decide the pre-determined conclusion that the leaders of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium are a security threat of great magnitude. The Boko Haram law will of course be applied on the Anglophone leaders.
What a sight it is in Southern Cameroons today! Peter Mafany Musonge, Atanga Nji, Philip Ngwese, Elvis Ngolle Ngolle, Paul Ghogomu Minglo and Ekema Patrick have been marching somberly through blood-stained streets in Southern Cameroons, file past the many graves from the Francophone army attack and proceed to bribe Anglophone opinion leaders and parents to send their children to school. They are announcing to the world that the horrors they have witnessed in West Cameroon were caused by the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium. And that if they don’t act now, the two state federation will cause more Southern Cameroonians to suddenly wake one morning and say to themselves, “I will kill in the name of the Consortium.”
Two State Federation and the Consortium! Is there nothing it cannot do?
Federalism and the Consortium can do anything. Well, any bad thing. Federalism cannot do good things. The only problem is, there hasn’t been any federalism for almost 56 years. Not only is actual federalism deadly, even the thought of it can cause Francophone political elites to kill.
Federalism, we’re told, is also going to cause more disintegration as the Betis too are planning to secede if a two state federal structure is accepted. It hasn’t done so yet, but it will. Actually, Francophone blood is more superior to Anglophone blood in Cameroon. Listen to the Consortium. We wish you a Happy Ghost Town come Monday and Tuesday!!

“Today is not the time of wall-raising between nations. Have they forgotten that the Berlin Wall collapsed years ago?” President Rouhani said in an apparent reference to US government officials, who have been planning to build a wall on the Mexican border.
“[Even] if there is a wall between nations, it has to be removed,” the Iranian chief executive said. He was speaking during the 17th World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations Convention in the capital, Tehran, on Saturday. Figures from some 40 countries have gathered for the conference.
“Today’s world is not a world where one can create distances between the nations and peoples of different territories. Today is a day of neighborhood. We have become neighbors in cultural, scientific, and civilizational terms, and also, the world of communications and communications technology have shrunk distances,” President Rouhani said. “No one can fight globalization today.”
“Iran has, in recent years, shown and said it loud and clear to the whole world that it is a country of peace and friendship,” he said. “We favor and take pride in peace, reconciliation, brotherhood, and peaceful coexistence.” He said that the scourge of terrorism was doing irreversible damage to both humanity and the relics of ancient civilization. Iran provided assistance to Iraq and Syria, Rouhani said, to help them eradicate terrorism.

Hon. Wirba addresses Southern Cameroonians, says we are winners for all times 2
Our people have proven to the colonial masters that our iron will is tougher than all their guns. The week by week shut down of West Cameroon is sure proof. We will keep our children home and shut down everything till we build a better future for those children. We will do it for as long as it takes. This is the best option for us for we are a peaceful people and we will win by all peaceful means.
The reason our courageous leaders are in jail and others are being hunted down like animals is because this government believes that it has a colony in West Cameroon! In colonial policy, the master never sits to debate anything with the natives who own the land. The colonial rules are simple, beat them, maim them, jail them, shoot them and kill them heady native, who challenge your injustices, until the rest submit to your colonial will! After 55 years, our people have simply outgrown fear and submission. They are now holding their heads higher and higher and simply saying “Since you have more value for our land than for our people, kill us all before you take the land.” This is our peaceful resistance “War” cry.
We must now let the world know that we will resist them to the last man, woman and child. It is the cheapest “war” against our oppressors. With our bare hands and our hearts full of determination to live in dignity in our own country, we must collectively stand up and face our oppressors until we win! Even if our children stay home for two years, it will be better for us and those children because we will use this peaceful means to build a better and a free Cameroon for them. Peaceful resistance and civil disobedience are very legitimate ways of fighting oppression!
My people, by shutting down the internet all over West Cameroon, this government has proven that if it had its means, it could shut off even the air we breathe, so that we, the people of West Cameroon, could collectively chock to death! If they could, they could, they will shut down both sun and rain so we could all starve to death. This government is a grave source of danger to us as a people!
Unfortunately for them, God has a different plan for his people of West Cameroon! A plan of complete victory of good over evil! Actions speak louder than words! Their actions have shown the whole world how much they despise us! We can now see them for who they really are: a heartless government that treats us as subhuman! Were it not, how can a government treat our people with such gross disrespect, spite and arrogance? When a government lacks respect for its people, that government has no place in the people’s life. Let us all stand up in West Cameroon and prove to them that they have no place in our lives!
THE STUGGLE CONTINUES.
Your humble servant,
Hon Wirba.
