[CAMEROON] Why all Anglophones are members of the Southern Cameroons National Council

Before and after the All Anglophone Lawyers’ Conference of 9th May 2015, claims and insinuations were linked to the real or imaginary interference of the Southern Cameroon National Council (SCNC) with the deliberations and outcome of the conference. As would be expected the conveners of the conference have gone at length to dissociate themselves from SCNC control as if the SCNC was a pariah organisation. SCNC is a product of the All Anglophone Conference (AAC) of 1993 and 1994 that brought together different shades of Anglophone opinion to be crystallized into a common vision. It was only after the Cameroon government failed to take on board proposals by the AAC that a new pressure group emerged like it is often the case in liberation theology to give visibility, potency and geo-political relevance and space to the Anglophone struggle.

He started in 1992 with 4 states federation and then moved to 6 states, to 8 and 10 states. I’m convinced that it is because he has failed in all his demands that he is throwing the challenge to the population to decide, just like what he said during a press conference in Yaounde last week.” [post_ad] Nwachan said that the Anglophone problem is not a problem of guess work like w...
