The foreign dignitaries who will dine and wine with the colonizer of the people of the Southern Cameroons will be giving comfort to their oppressors; they will be regarded as aiding and abetting an international crime, if not, acting as accessories after the fact. In lending support to this outrageous campaign, they should know that the leader of this country is acting in contempt of the decision last year of the African Union that the Southern Cameroons and the Republic of Cameroun should hold talks to agree on new constitutional arrangements to resolve the burning issue of colonization and assimilation in violation of the inalienable right to self-determination.

Regarding the purpose of celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the independence and unification of Cameroun, treated in the previous posting, the main issue is not whether the (de facto) association succeeded) but whether there was a legal Union in 1961 between Southern Cameroons (SC) and Republic of Cameroun (LRC) under the auspices of the United Kingdom as administering authority and the United Nations. From the evidence we have reviewed, the answer is NO.

In 1946, the UN entrusted the administration of French Cameroun and British Cameroons to France and the United Kingdom, respectively, with a mission to run and prepare each of them for independence. Their mission was never to reconstitute or help in reconstituting German Kamerun or parts thereof that vanished before, after or at the end of World War I. The acts of two authorities, permanent members of the Security Council and also of the Trusteeship Council, coupled with the arbitrary acts of the United Nations, resulted in a betrayal of the trust of the international community to ensure that the trust territories evolved unconditionally to separate independence as provided by the UN Charter. Instead of granting independence to British Cameroons as an entirety as was the case of the former German Colonies of Togo, Tanganyika (Tanzania) and South West Africa (Namibia), the UN was instigated to apply a double standard to the Southern Cameroons by forcing it to choose between the devil and the deep sea; that is: independence by joining with Nigeria (from which the SC had separated because of marginalization in 1954) or the LRC (former French Cameroun, embroiled in the French/Ahidjo versus UPC war of independence) .

2010, French Africa commemorates 50 years of non-independence from France.

It comes with lies that smell of roses and champagne.

We present a musical interlude as reflection from the timeless KASSAV, which reminds us of the import of knowing our true history.

In beautiful rhythm only KASSAV can conjure, but with a tinge if indignation and resentment, they remind us: “Our history will raise our soul, Our soul will liberate us”

PARTIAL TRANSLATION IN ENGLISH**

We’ve learn everything from their books
We wanted to resemble them
To a point that we forgot our own history
But the YORUBA warrior was courageous
Despite the whip and misery
Today he’s standing straight and proud

They brainwashed us
Their history is only a part of ours
Our history will raise our soul
Our soul will liberate us
They have their belief and we have ours
If only we’ve learn what we could do together
Our history wouldn’t be forgotten
