A
UNILATERAL LETTER OF CONDEMNATION by Edwin Boye Kinga
THIRD OCTOBER 2017
I Edwin Boye Kinga born in the part of the world,
documented in the archives of both the League of Nations and the United Nations
Organisations as the British Southern Cameroons represent no one. I just like
to air out some views so that I could have some element of peace in my heart
and in my soul.
I like to see a world that does not feed fat on
the tears of the poor. I like to see and live in a world without any double
standards especially when such perennially favour the vantage and rich over the
poor masses. What use does any system provide if it gives undue rights to the
ruling oligarchs while depriving the basic human rights to the rest?
I condemn in the strongest possible terms the
murder of my brothers and sisters for more than a year now with no one to speak
out for them, just because they state out historical truths and seek under
universally accepted standards in a system imposed on them by the now mute U.N.
I condemn the torture and looting, the rapes and
gruesome hardship metted on our people by soldiers, police and other wings of a
fascist military that seem to be hungry for the blood of harmless human beings.
I seek to condemn as an individual, all the
persons and institutions that humanity looks up to as their moral refuge for
remaining silent in a time as bad as this: the MPs of our people for their
cowardice, the state media for nefarious and consistent lies that do untold
damage to truth and history, the regular state institutions for branding our
people a priori as terrorists, dogs, rats etc. in order to plunder them at will
and even for unconstitutionally calling our people separatists and secessionists
thereby misleading the uninformed world. All the other institutions such as
religious and cultural have not met the expectations of the stranded and
volatile masses who find nowhere else to go.
I condemn the hate propaganda on social media
against our people even though I forgive the perpetrators of this hate agenda
because many do so out of ignorance. For the most part they have no historical
roots and depend largely on their political leadership and state media both of
whom are as tied to French interest as is a dog to a chariot. And history
proves me right.
I condemn the sickening silence of major
international organisations: the U.N., the African Union, ECOWAS as well as the
main news outlets of the world. Our people have been on the streets all over
our territory for about a year to make their legitimate voices heard in vain.
They have taken to the streets in France, Germany, Japan, Spain, the UK,
Canada, South Africa and even in Kuwait of all places. The various states of
the U.S. have seen us but paid no attention. Do we not belong to planet earth?
Did we ever remain silent at any point in history when horror stroke? We cried
with you when terrorists stroke the UK, Spain, Belgium, Somalia, Nigeria the
U.S.A. and so on. We joined the world actively when disasters stroke such as
the horrendous hurricanes, earthquakes and even the controversial Ebola. I
remember how the proprietors of the world rallied in France when that nation
lost 12 citizens. What crime then did our people commit that we are battered to
peices for months while the world wathes in silence and uninvolved? Is it true
that the gains from the trade in in arms has a higher bargaining power over our
lives?
I condemn you, the political elite in Yaoundé for
allowing yourselves in Machiavellian fashion for letting the "honneur de
la patrie - La France destroy your sense of objectivity to the effect that you
are consistently murdering other Africans. History will be your judge.
Why did the League of Nations decide to divide
the German colony of Kamerun into two and give them to the British and the
French respectively?
Why did the United Nations adopt the
responsibility of ascertaining the preparagon of the aforementioned territories
towards self rule?
If the U.N. herself stands aloof in a conflict
whose very origins she is, where else could a stranded people turn?
I stand with you my peopl. I feel bleeding in
those whose limbs are torn to peices by the military on rampage. I feel the
pangs of prison torture from afar praying for each and every single prisoner. I
share fully in the pain of every family that has lost a brother brother or
sister, a father or mother. I am with you in the pains from the raping of our
loved ones by the uniform officers, who, acting like beasts and with impunity
have treated us with a dignity unworthy of human beings.All these keep my eyes
open all night when I pretend to sleep.
But we shall rise, my people. Do not ask me when
and how. And things shall never ever be the same again.
Boye.
