The Biya Regime: Inciting Civil War, Perpetrating Genocide, Terrorism and Repression by Mbiydzenyuy David WANTANGWA


"The only way by which the LRC dictatorship of this man, Paul Biya, can continue to wrangle and make the noise of a "one and indivisible" country over which they have imposed their rule, is to show a legal document, to the satisfaction of the United Nations and other World bodies and above all, to the people of Southern Cameroons, that binds them to his tyrannical regime. Otherwise, all their grip over the people is intrusive, illegal and unrecognized. You cannot perpetrate the reign of terror on a people over whom you illegally impose yourselves with the complicity of a good number of players in and out of Cameroon. The time of reckoning is now. Prove your legality over the people first. We do not need to belabour the point that there is no legal document showing that Cameroon was ever or is one and indivisible as you are wont to quickly yell."

The Biya Regime: Inciting Civil War, Perpetrating Genocide, Terrorism and Repression by

if you keep silence in the face of aggression, then you have chosen the side of the oppressor”. (Desmond Tutu) and “it is a sin to be silent when it is your duty to protest” (Abraham Lincoln).
Introduction to Reality
The manipulative divide-and-rule strategies of the LRC government, shepherded by its leader, the dictator, Paul Biya, spearheaded by some of his government ministers, thugs and elites and executed by their brutal military, and skillfully teleguided by France, their colonial master, had no other purpose than to breed civil war, incite hate and division between the Francophones and the citizens of Southern Cameroons. Unfortunately, they have met with the most intelligent, resolute, and unpredictably strategic handling of the crisis by the leaders of Southern Cameroons in spite of their own shortcomings. The attitude of the LRC government is reminiscent of an evasive regime that has only one tool, called the HAMMER, (repressive criminals in the name of military), and so they force every problem to resemble a nail so as to fit with their sole tool, to hammer it and force themselves on the people. “If you have to win by dividing people, you won’t be able to govern them” said Barack Obama. Legitimacy over a people is merited and sanctioned by constructive democratic management of crises and not my imposing its inadequate, archaic, barbaric, albeit, mediocre, obnoxious solutions on the people. Again, “indigenous people have the right to self-determination. By virtue of that right, they freely determine their political status and freely pursue their economic, social and cultural development”. (United Nations). This is the reality the LRC government will have to face and the hard knot they will have to come to terms with and swallow.
The LRC regime’s handling of what is now popularly called “the anglophone problem” which smacks of a very high magnitude of incompetence, butchery, rapine, or in other words uncontrolled military repression, has led to a lot of reflection and background action on both sides and we publish a series of articles relating to the true aims underlying the regime’s intentions behind this form of archaic tyranny in the 21st century.
Here we are! faced with a murderous regime that will not hesitate to kill anyone who differs with their agenda in order to have their way to continue the systematic pillage of this fatherland.
Here we are! with a veritably lying, manipulative and Machiavellian leadership that possesses the evil skills of divide and rule politics, corruption of the masses, disruption of the genuine rule of law and whimsical administration of state affairs.
Here we are! faced with a completely “deviant regime, that rules only with a view to personal advantage”. In our earlier Open Letter to the President and to the Episcopal Conference of the Bishops of Cameroon (you can read the letter in its entirety in, www.ambassbay.blogspot.com/...) we exposed some details about this regime which have in the course of these months proven to be undoubtedly true. The claim of the regime over the people of Southern Cameroons has become clearly illegitimate as the people have unanimously rejected the Yaoundé dictatorship which is presently still forcing itself upon them.
Here we are! faced with a group of selfish and uncontrollably greedy fellows who would not hesitate to perform any kind of mean, debasing and inhumane job before their dictator who tosses them around like puppets.
Here we are! with faced with a heap of mediocre administrators who impose their mediocrity upon the masses having sent the whole country and its resources and projects down the drain without any remorse because they glory in keeping the masses in the dark.
Here we are! faced with a bunch of deviant and morally debased criminals who have committed all sorts of crimes against their people, from controversial killings, to corruption, embezzlement, and what have you. The sad list can go on and on.
Here we are! faced with a regime for whom bloodshed is the order of the day, in order to have their way, intimidation, murder and controversy. A regime steeped in the blood of its own very citizens, whom they are supposed to protect. A regime that thrives in evil and wanton disregard for basic inalienable human rights.
Here we are! Face to face with the LRC dictatorship, a bunch of blood thirsty criminals who have sold out their consciences to the devil and clinging tenaciously and desperately to power as if that were the only thing, the only option in life left for them. Power, they say, corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Here we are! face to face with a regime specialized in all sorts of hideous crimes against humanity, backed up a terrible magnitude of lies, coercive techniques, elimination of political opponents under cover of law. After all, they are successively specialized in twisting and bending the law every time according to their secret agendas and whims and caprices especially when they foresee that they will be entrapped by the law. And therefore, this makes of their laws, constitutions, decrees, injunctions etc., a set of Napoleonic codes, capable of changing at any time and which become ridiculous to follow, making a total mockery of the judicial system.
The Language of War, Hate, Terrorism and Violence
We begin this writeup with the following from the Parliamentarian, Joseph Wirba, “IN SHOCK AND IN TEARS!! MY DEAR PEOPLE OF WEST CAMEROON, they are killing our people again! When I tell you, these people do not believe we have blood, some don't believe me. Look at carnage out here! These people will eliminate us if we don't rise up like one man and stop them! They hate us, they spite us, they will "take us out" if they have their chance! We must stop them Now! It is time to take our Peaceful Resistance to a higher level. It is time to let our oppressors know that we have had enough of killing, jailing and maiming of our people!! This Commander in Bui has been known for his contemptuous treatment of our people! He is known for saying that his orders come from the presidency in Yaoundé, and for referring to our people as 'les chiens Anglophone', meaning; 'Anglophone dogs'! Are we surprised he just killed some 'dogs'? My people, our resolve and our preparedness must be strong! Get ready for the second phase of our resistance movement. We must stand up to oppression and we must defeat oppression!!! PLEASE SHARE THIS TO THE WORLD! Hon WIRBA Joseph, signed and sealed with the blood of our fallen heroes”.
Remember, that one ethnic group insisted and called the other “cockroaches” in Rwanda and this led to the Rwandan Genocide – the most gruesome in modern history, the scar from which Rwanda will never recover, no matter the type and quality of solutions offered. I wonder if that illiterate of a Commander in Bui, has ever availed himself the opportunity of knowing that gruesome scenario from which a people has never risen nor been genuinely reconciled. Genuine peace is priceless.
The Regime thugs, protagonists and evil apostles have deliberately refused to represent the situation in its objective reality. And this is how genocide and war begin. To show either their unwillingness to tackle the real problems of the people, they have continuously and stubbornly insisted that it is a language problem, and rather attempting by all means to incite the Francophones against the Southern Cameroonians, that it is a Francophone – Anglophone problem in order to denote that Anglophones hate Francophones and have indoctrinated and incited some weak minded French Cameroonians to react. Some francophones, either out of ignorance, as usual, or blind obedience of the useless system in place, have taken upon themselves to rise up against Southern Cameroonians even without understanding why, or what the problem of the Southern Cameroons is. What would be the result if either the Francophones or the Anglophones subscribe to such an evil label – of course, civil war and to whose interest, that of these leaders who would possessing foreign nationalities, would safely escape into their safe havens in Europe and America and elsewhere in the world.
Here we shall not hesitate, to identify individuals who have used divisive, and hate language that normally brings civil war, hate, terrorism and Violence. The LRC President Paul Biya, on the 31st of December 2016, referred to the Anglophones as “extremist”. To have labelled a people whose educational and legal systems, the French speaking citizens including himself envy, is uncalled for, and it only indicates his intensions when he nursed a genocide in his official utterance. We often say in English give a dog a bad and hang it. This probably should justify his tyrannical handling of the crisis by using military action to repress peaceful protesters.
The Governor of the South West Region, Okalia Bilai has on various occasions used the following words, he first referred to Anglophones as “boko haram” and later on as “dogs”. The same hate language like his master. Mr. Issa Tchiroma Bakary, the LRC Minister of Communication, has on several occasions referred to Anglophones using the following terms, “secessionists”, “extremists”, “terrorists” and more than enough public evidence exists with videos of their various utterances. Among a myriad of press conferences, he has offered to explain the government position, is worth mentioning, the heart-rending lies, he publicly and shamelessly rambled and mumbled in a confusive language he calls English and full of extreme lies and conscious distortion of reality purposefully geared at misleading international and national opinion. This was after the butchery and mayhem of the 22nd of September 2017 and especially, the 1st of October 2017. He dared to praise the brutality of the bestial army of repression they sent into Southern Cameroons. Be they reminded, that such language is against international law, and that as Southern Cameroonians have insisted and continue to insist, they are a peace-loving people. This same LRC government spokesperson, has been insistently talking of some imaginary group of “secessionists” “armed with machetes and bombs” and in an open press conference declared that LRC had killed some of the secessionist fighters. For Minister Issa Tchiroma, to openly prefer and quote the complacent letter of the President of the Episcopal Conference as against the factual and frank declaration of the Bishops of Southern Cameroons whom he shamelessly accused of taking sides with “terrorists”, is to publicly attempt to sow division in the church, which makes of him a veritable advocate of the devil and a dishonest “divide and rule” strategies of the LRC government. Abundant evidence abounds, that lots of lives lost in Southern Cameroons were those of harmless and unarmed civilians who carried peace plants matching and shouting, “no violence” to which the blood-thirsty military did not heed. The profile of those killed does not in any way resemble fighters but of peaceful protesters. It has been characteristic of LRC government to frame up the anglophones, accusing them of arson, but it is clear that the military of LRC is responsible for organizing and carrying out these acts of arson, burning of Sacred Heart College Mankon and the frame-up of arms being discovered in Mbengwi. Only the LRC government can prove these allegations which accordingly are geared towards justifying their repressive acts on the people of Southern Cameroons. The language of terrorism, and others has only initiated from their lips.
The Military as their Instrument of Inciting Civil War and Genocide
To further justify their actions, they have continued to deploy military to perpetrate acts of arson, killings, genocide, rape, torture and kidnaps. The social media is rife with videos of police and military acts of atrocities, torture, killings and maltreatment of the people of Southern Cameroons. The military has always been used by the regime to perpetrate and crack down on the people as its torture and repressive mechanism to suppress the people when they want to express their rights to disagree with the regime. They have manipulated the media, repressed the media and issued orders limiting media reporting. They have continuously interrupted the internet in order that the world should not see the terrible atrocities and genocide being carried out by the police and the military.
The Responsibility of Britain and France
During the recent European Union meeting, the accusation by the German minister upon France and Britain for being responsible for this mess is well justified. Unfortunately, France cannot come in to fight civilians and that is the reason why they keep a conspicuous silence. They are to be held responsible for this mess happening in Southern Cameroons and they keep silence as if that is none of their concerns. Therefore, they have that moral and socio-political responsibility to return in all honesty to restore what they left undone. Their sadistic silence has been very preoccupying.
Other Voices Worth Mentioning
The United nations has cautioned the LRC government over its atrocities over its own people. The insane dictator of Cameroon as usual has not said a word, let alone respond to the many voices calling him to order. The African Union has spoken. The Francophonie probably out of shame, has spoken and other internationally reliable organisations. REDAC (spelling) has written. The Bishops of the Bamenda Ecclesiastical Province have written and now we are writing. The intransigence of the LRC government is very disturbing both in the national and international scenes given the fact that they are signatories to very important and law-abiding treaties and conventions that they have just ruptured in their endless repression over the people of Southern Cameroons. The insane dictator, Paul Biya, carefully teleguided by France, remains unperturbed in Switzerland ruling his country at a delicate time like this, from a distance as usual. The people as well as other well – intentioned opinions cannot keep quiet and watch this genocide over a peaceful, unarmed people and this massive bias and repression which the government is unduly exercising over them.
Manipulating the Press to Propagate this Violence and Hate Culture
The government of LRC is using outmoded, ancient, and tyrannical methods in this 21st century to repress a people who are assuming their self-determination. They are not just oppressing the people of southern Cameroons, but repressing other media organs not to expose the truth. They have been exposed beyond measure because in spite of the internet shut-down with the complicity of the telecommunications operators, gruesome images have been published and so they cannot cover their crimes enough and so that is why the government spokesperson, Issa Tchiroma can shamelessly lie and praise the hideous crimes committed by the LRC regime on the very citizens they are meant to protect. Needless, to mention that they have lost legitimacy over the people of Southern Cameroons and instead of looking for a solution to genuinely discuss the form of the state that the people want, they still continue to manipulate the press, and impress themselves upon the people who have rejected them.
Where are the Corpses of the Dead LRC?
It is reliably documented, that the LRC military killed and evacuated the dead bodies of those whom they killed, some through helicopter gun fire. Since 2016, when allegations of mass graves were rife in Cameroon, the LRC government kept a conspicuous silence. Some of those released from the prison in Kondengui reliably informed us of recorded deaths amongst those ferried by them to Yaoundé prison. The LRC government has still kept silent, not releasing everyone they captured probably to give false hope to the remaining families that their sons could be alive. The only aim they evacuated the dead bodies of those killed was to cover, alter and wipe out the evidence that they killed. It is clear, and we stand to be contradicted, that the LRC government cannot give a complete and genuine account of those missing due to their military atrocities and murder committed on unarmed people of Southern Cameroons. The blood of human beings is not the blood of animals and so the LRC government is presently being charged for killing and hiding the corpses of those they killed and they will be haunted by the dead. Again, a local Newspaper, published an article, “Midnight burial uncovered in Mile 16 Buea. Allegations are rife, of people having been arrested from Southern Cameroons and carried in helicopters and dropped in foreign territories and regions of the North of Cameroon, so that their dead bodies will never be discovered. The basic question to the LRC government still remains, where are the dead bodies of all those who were arrested, tortured and killed by your military bandits? Can the LRC government ever give a full account of such hideous crimes against its own citizens or can they ever hope to repair the damage and the rupture they have caused to the Cameroonian nation especially the territory of the Southern Cameroons? If the findings of the UNHCR and other international bodies and media organs proves these stories and allegations, right what will the lying miserable slave of the LRC government, the communication minister and spokesperson of the government say? Again, if the allegations of Cameroon having used mercenaries from the Chadian Army proves right, what will they say? Then they are in for a good deal with the people of Southern Cameroons who will never again have anything to do with this evil regime. Did we say that the former government spokesperson lied (the famous “zero mort”), the present spokesperson to say the least, seems to have been mandated by Lucifer himself to consciously derail public and international opinion about the ugly realities of the rubbish they call country?
Stop the Frame-Ups of Arms and Terrorism
It should be clear to any blind eye, that the killings of the Gendarmes, and other military people, the false allegations of having arrested some terrorists as separatists, the allegations of having retrieved arms, den guns, lances, in fact household articles in the names of having seized arms, like they did in Mbengwi are a continuous frame-up from the LRC government. It is ridiculous when you see both the profile of those they claim are terrorists, those arms they claim to have seized. All of these are clearly leading to what they know best, military force and we have gone passed that stage. We have to show our temerity in our decision and non-involvement in arms yet this does not mean that we have lost our right to self-defence. Therefore, the AGC and the ADF claims should have a total rethink since the evidence on the ground is rather showing LRC frame-ups.
God is God, and God will still be God. “No Shaking” as our common folks will say. Our target is BUEA and no one will distract us from it.
