Biya has ordered the deployment of thousands of undercover military personnel in Bamenda and Buea, a source at the presidency of the republic has hinted. Our informant added that the special forces acting as secret service officials have been given directives to arrest any West Cameroonian citizen exhibiting any sort of violence, be it throwing stones, stopping another person from opening his/her store, burning the flag, carrying the southern Cameroon flag, or simply yelling at someone for not obeying the strike.

Cameroon Intelligence Report understands these military men and women are dressed in civilian attire to blend well with the local population.  They have been told to show up in churches to spy and arrest those militating against the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime.

Information also filtered that many of the members of the elite force appear in torn trousers or shirts or native attire looking like a villager.  The Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society has issued a warning to all Southern Cameroonians to be extremely careful and exercise non-violence in whatever they do. The Consortium recently revealed that If West Cameroonians see any suspicious person they have never seen before around their neighborhood or church, they should know that the said individual is an undercover military personal.

At the time of filing this report, we gathered that many Southern Cameroonians have been arrested and tortured by the members of the new secret service force created to stifle the Anglophone uprising.  The presidency of the La Republique has also sent personal threatening letters warning the Anglophone Roman Catholic Bishops not to send out another memo in support of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium.

The Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium has again announced that strikes and the civil disobedience campaign will go ahead until our Southern Cameroon demands are met. In a statement, the Chairman of the Consortium called on “West Cameroonians not to allow the selfish ones among us to destroy our struggle.” It is vital to include in this report that ghost town operations will begin next week and will hold on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Southern Cameroonians are called upon to listen to leaders of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium.

The Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium has announced that one of its leaders, the Great Wilfred Tassang is now being secretly sheltered in a Western embassy in Yaoundé. The information was made public by the interim coordinator of the Consortium in Europe, Mark Bareta.

The Consortium statement added that the unnamed European country has agreed in principle to provide Wilfred Tassang the necessary protection a leader of his standing and quality deserves. The Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium also officially announced that internet services in the Buea and Bamenda provinces of West Cameroon have been shut down by La Republique du Cameroun.

We got intelligence that the Consortium Chairman Barrister Agbor Balla advised Wilfred Tassang to make the move to Yaounde in a private car.   The Anglophone leaders have also appealed to West Cameroonians residing in La Republique du Cameroun, Gabon and neighboring Nigeria to get involve in transmitting information from the Consortium to the people of Southern Cameroons.

The leaders of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium have declared that the civil disobedience campaign will continue beginning next week and will be staged on Mondays and Wednesdays. Millions of Southern Cameroonians have expressed pessimism with life under the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime and are now calling for a two state federation or a separate state for British Southern Cameroons.

The Anglophone communities have unanimously accepted that they have no positive perspectives for the future as repression against the freedom of opinion are continuing, including the online media. Schools will remain closed until all Anglophone demands are met by the Francophone regime.

The leader of the Southern Cameroons National Council has called on Anglophones in the diaspora to take swift and decisive global action that will bring pressure to bear on the Francophone regime in Yaounde. Nfor Ngalla was reacting to news of the arrest of the leaders of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium yesterday in Buea. Below is the original text from the SCNC Chairman as emailed to us early this morning.

DEAR ALL,

Having been wounded gravely by the strikes and the GHOST TOWNS GHOST COUNTRY, the annexationist regime in Yaoundé has today imposed a ban on the SCNC and the Consortium. The proconsuls in our land are empowered to arrest and detain the leaders. News reaching me from Buea have it that the President Bala Agbor Nkongho and Secretary Dr. Fontem of the Consortium have been arrested this evening by gendarmes.

In this circumstance I am calling for global action at all UN Offices and UK EMBASSIES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. ALL SOUTHERN CAMEROONIANS IN UK SHOULD MOVE TO 10 DOWNING STR. AND STAY THERE TILL THE PM MAKES A POSITIVE STATEMENT. THOSE IN NEW YORK AND STATES CLOSE TO THE UN IN NEW YORK SHOULD MOVE THERE AND CALL FOR UN IMMEDIATE INTERVENTION TO AVOID A BLOOD BATH. THE REST IN USA SHOULD BE IN WASHINGTON DC IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE CALLING ON USA PROMPT INTERVENTION AND RELEASE OF ALL SOUTHERN CAMEROONIANS UNDER DETENTION AND TORTURE.

YOUR FAILURE TO ACT AS PRESCRIBED IS BURYING THE STRUGGLE AND WORSE SLAVERY FOR SOUTHERN CAMEROONIANS. MORE ARRESTS WILL FOLLOW TOMORROW. ACT NOW TO AVOID THE WORSE FOR OUR PEOPLE AND NATION.

Tuesday the 17^th of January 2017 marked day three of the civil disobedience campaign across Southern Cameroons. Although the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo government had earlier dismissed the level of participation as insignificant, the success of the policy prompted Yaoundé to make a dramatic U-turn banning the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society and arresting its leaders. Local reporting in Bamenda and Buea shows that many Anglophone citizens are now joining the revolution and ghost town operations are expected to continue.

The Francophone regime in Yaoundé has disconnected internet and telephone services all over British Southern Cameroons and moved the leaders arrested to an unknown destination deep inside La Republique du Cameroun. The Common Law Lawyers and the teachers’ trade unions have urged Southern Cameroonians to keep their children at home and put their faith in the Consortium. The teachers and lawyers say, no schools will resume until the demands made by the Anglophone Consortium are met. We also gathered that the Anglophone Bar Association has taken over the responsibility of releasing information coming out of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium.

Numerous shops will remain closed in the North West and South West regions of the country today and many parents have vowed to keep their children home from school. Although the government tried to portray the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society leaders as extremists, it is now evident that the Anglophone leaders had indeed refused bribes from agents of the Francophone regime. We are expecting to see a complete absence of automobile and pedestrian traffic in normally congested areas in West Cameroon this week.

This decidedly grassroots campaign is a response to the Francophone government’s gross mismanagement of Southern Cameroon’s resources and economy and its misplaced spending priorities that privilege the already bloated security and military sectors of Francophone Cameroun at the expense of Southern Cameroon’s underfunded health and education sectors. As several British Southern Cameroonians have noted, this campaign is driven by popular support and everyday Anglophone citizens that blame the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime for their increasingly difficult economic situation.

It is more dangerous now as many anonymous Anglophone actors have began taken control of the revolution following the arrest of the leaders of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society. Opposition political parties have instructed their members to join the ghost town campaign. Concerns have been expressed over an escalation of violence in British Southern Cameroons. The specter of La Republique’s violence continues to hang over all public protests after the killing of many Southern Cameroonians in Kumba, Buea, Bamenda and Kumbo.

Cameroon Concord News has been informed that internet and telephone services in British Southern Cameroons have all been disconnected. The decision is in line with the Yaounde regime’s attempt at stifling the Anglophone uprising.

The situation has become more intractable following the arrest and subsequent transfer of the leaders of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium from Buea to Yaounde. The West Cameroon diaspora has been called upon to provide proxy servers to the freedom fighters back home.

Some senior political commentators have accused the Paul Biya-led One Cameroon regime of toying with the nation’s unity and future.  Their comments were made public earlier today when state radio and television announced a ministerial order from the Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization banning the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium and the Southern Cameroons National Council.

The decision by Minister Rene Emmanuel Sadi came after a declaration by the chairman of the so-called Ad Hoc Committee; Ghogomu Mingo Paul that the new generation of Anglophone leaders have unanimously resolved to resist any further dialogue with the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo government.

Ghogomu Paul ignored claims by the Anglophone Consortium that the Yaounde regime was gambling with Cameroon’s future by continuing to maliciously deploy the military in the Southern Cameroons region and implementing sinister divide and rule tactics against Anglophone’s key actors.

The Minister Rene Sadi’s order has shut the door to the advice that was given to President Biya to personally and visibly head a holistic solution-seeking strategy that will prove his commitment to a robustly sustainable peace with British Southern Cameroonians.

Our chief political correspondent in Yaoundé opined that for there to be true unity, stability and progress in the country, President Biya should engage the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium with new faces who are not going to be wasting time establishing so-called Ad Hoc Committees that will not resolve pertinent issues sustainable.

At the time of filing this report, the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society had not reacted to the ministerial order published by the Yaounde regime.

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Last week, the Consortium called for a Ghost Town to protest against the continuous militarization of our towns, police provocation and brutality – shooting and arrest of citizens – even as the negotiations were going on. This call has been respected throughout the NW and SW Regions. West Cameroonians are a peaceful people and must remain so.

However, some pictures of people exacting violence on school children in Limbe have shocked the Consortium. These pictures remind us of what happened in Bamenda a month ago. Let it be clear that the Consortium unreservedly condemns violence in all its forms and aspires to a society where respect for human personality and property will reign supreme. We strongly urge all our people to remain decent, and to show greater self-discipline. We must undo violence from our cultural make up, and beware of infiltrations and people who are sent to incite violence so as to justify a crackdown. Nevertheless, we encourage parents to keep their children at home when there is a call to strike.

We call on Government to clear our streets of all armed uniform men. We also demand that all those arrested, abducted or kidnapped in Bamenda, Mutengene, Buea, Kumba and Mamfe, including teachers who expressed strong views about the current situation of the country should be released forthwith.

Fellow Citizens,

Concerning the work the Teachers’ Union did in the Teachers’ Ad hoc Committee, we expect them to present it to the public and educate the masses about its contents before an agreement is finalized. We are consulting with them and will ensure that the outcome is satisfactory to our people.

We therefore decry all attempts by the Chairperson of that Committee to manipulate the process and to exacerbate tensions at a time when everyone is looking forward to a sustainable solution. In the same vein, we urge the community – parents, students and other stakeholders – to be patient and wait for the Teachers’ Unions to suspend the strike when the process has come to a logical end. But this can only be after the community has been properly informed about the resolutions arrived at, and guarantees provided that past abuses will not be repeated.

Our hope for this beautiful country is that we and our brothers East of the Mungo can cohabit peacefully, and that every child will have equal opportunity to rise to greatness through hard work. We pray for a country where our origin will no longer limit us.

God is our strength.

For the CONSORTIUM

Barr. Nkongho Felix A. Dr. Fontem A. Neba
