10 similarities between Federalists and Independence advocates:


1. They all want the same objective - independence - but vary with the rules of engagement. All Federalists, in particular, stand for the non-use of violence and war against the adversary.
2. They all believe that Cameroon is two and very divisible.
3. They all believe that Mungo bridge is breakable. And that in future, a wall should be built with La Rep. and they must pay for it.
4. They all believe that SDOs and DOs should be cleared off their territory.
5. They all believe that governors are colonial in the state of nature and have no place in S. Cameroons.
6. Whether S. Cameroons or West Cameroon, they all believe that it is their territory and the people must control it fully and make their own appointments.
7. They all believe that the struggle is a winning struggle and that the federalist's strategies of ghost towns, boycotts, and civil strong head are best replies to a colonial oppressor's game. And that these strategies work for all of their advantages and goals.
8. They all believe in a referendum as the only way to the restoration of statehood, if push comes to shove through a high-level dialogue table.
9. They all believe that the only enemy is the dubious political system called the "united" Republic of Cameroun. And that the French language is not the main language of operation in Southern Cameroons. La Republique or Cameroun, they mean the same thing.
10. They all believe that neither independence nor a well-negotiated and enforceable two-state federal system of government of equal status has ever been granted in Southern Cameroons. They both believe they were tricked by Cameroun and the UN and Britain and France.
So why then do you want to fight and kill yourselves instead of the big elephant?
Please, educate yourselves with knowledge and not with irrational emotions. Do what you can to get what you want while respecting and tolerating diverse routes to the same big pie.
The sky is too wide for two birds to fly with their wings flapping on each other. Simply flock and not fight.
