If the gov't (The Executive) of the republic of Cameroon acted responsibly and timely. First, voices from within their circles responded to VERY LEGITIMATE concern with very provocative declarations. Lots said there was no 'anglophone' problem as others referred to 'anglophones' as a tribe. Some referred to them as terrorists (Boko Haram) while others said they were just a cube or two of sugar in an 'ocean'. How responsible were these declarations? And when they ran out of arguements, they employed FORCE. But not even FORCE has solved the real problem, things have gotten worse.
What about the Parliamentarians, 'representatives' of the people? Have they really represented the people? What are the people's demands from the outset? Was even a word about that discussed in Parliament? Do we really have parliamentarians or a group of greedy men, representing themselves? What has been their positive contribution to the 'anglophone' plight?
And then, the Judiciary, said to be independent, are they really independent? If they were, are the ongoing judicial processes against 'anglophones' championed by them with complete independence or they are acting on orders from the executive? Aren't there courts in both 'anglophone' regions with jurisdiction to hear such cases? Why will people who have no families relations in Yaounde to carter for them, be brought over to the same for trial under the pretext that the Yaounde Military Tribunal has National Jurisdiction? What are the crimes of those under detention in the first place? Genuine crimes or political manipulation?
WE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN TO THIS DEAD END, IF THE ARMS OF GOV'T WERE WORHTY OF THEIR APPELATION...
