Dismantling the Anachronistic-French-imposed System in Cameroon, and Founding the New Cameroon that is a Federation

The anachronistic French-imposed system in Cameroon needs to be dismantled for anything meaningful, sustainable, unifying, and progressive to take roots in our beloved but haunted Cameroon being ravaged by those who did not contribute to its independence and reunification. The problem in that beloved triangle in the heart of Africa otherwise called “The Microcosm of Africa” or “Africa in miniature” is not between Anglophones and Francophones. Make the government 80% Anglophone and 20% Francophone with the system in place and with the positions in high office not having been won through the genuine choice of the people, and the problem would still be there.

The execution of our first nationalist leaders (Martin Paul Samba and Rudolf Duala Manga Bell) by the German colonial army in 1914, our indifference over that loss, our quiet acceptance of the partition of German Kamerun by Britain and France into British Cameroons and French Cameroun, and the methodical suppression and brainwashing of our nationalism were all indications of the difficulties ahead for the Cameroonian struggle. Yes, we were in a state of lethargy for three decades after partition, a lethargy that left us without the enthusiasm and an organized force to repudiate the impose...
