According to him the nationhood of Southern Cameroons was restored this year with all legality and constitutionality. “Indeed, this being the case and the reality, the nationhood of Southern Cameroons was restored on Thursday October 1st 2015 after so many years -1995 to 2015 of consistent, systematic, assiduous and relentless work with the international community especially the united nations”. Rev. Ambeazieh said
However, History tells us that the former British Southern Cameroons gained independence on October 1st 1961 by forming a federation with the already autonomous Republic of Cameroon whose independence was granted by Frances on January 1st 1960. Fundamentalists have argued emphatically that the federal union has worked rather to the detriment of the later in a dominantly French speaking country.
Provided no union took place between la Republique and former British Southern Cameroons, Rev. Fr Ambeazieh questioned why the government of la Republique du Cameroon with her military occupation has very tenaciously held the later nation with illegal and wanton exploitation of its rich human and natural resources.
“We are hereby calling the United Nations to give an immediate quit notice to the government of la Republique du Cameroon to withdraw with immediate effect from the independent territory of Southern Cameroons in order to maintain international peace and security as inscribed in the preamble charter of the United Nations”. He fumed
Quizzed on state symbols of southern Cameroons, the interim administrator said all is in the pipeline and will be unveiled at the appropriate time.”When the time comes you will see everything in a constitutional manner. Something like the flag is the authority of the state and should not be hoisted on a mango tree like others have been doing”. he maintained
One Rev.Fr, Andrew Ambeazieh, who claims to
be the president of the Southern Cameroons interim government, formerly the
Southern Camerroons Liberation Movement (SOCALIM), has restated that Southern
Cameroon has no deal with la Republique du Cameroon. The one time priest of
the Roman Catholic Church, was speaking December 30th,2015 at
Alakuma-mankon, secretariat of the interim government during a press conference
cum 2016 new year message, that pulled
about twenty journalists and some members of the government.

According to him the nationhood of Southern Cameroons was restored this year with all legality and constitutionality. “Indeed, this being the case and the reality, the nationhood of Southern Cameroons was restored on Thursday October 1st 2015 after so many years -1995 to 2015 of consistent, systematic, assiduous and relentless work with the international community especially the united nations”. Rev. Ambeazieh said
Following the restoration of Southern
Cameroons statehood as purported in the month of May this year, the reverend
man disclosed that la Republic du Cameroon has nothing to deal or transact with Southern Cameroons. “The independence days and dates are very precise,
unchallengeable and unchangeable”. He added.
However, History tells us that the former British Southern Cameroons gained independence on October 1st 1961 by forming a federation with the already autonomous Republic of Cameroon whose independence was granted by Frances on January 1st 1960. Fundamentalists have argued emphatically that the federal union has worked rather to the detriment of the later in a dominantly French speaking country.
Quoting the existence of Southern Cameroons
as provided by, in international law, the head of the interim government said
it is time to talk southern Cameroons realities and its right to self rule without
doubt. This he said, referring to the biblical book of john 8:32 which says, “And
you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free”.
Provided no union took place between la Republique and former British Southern Cameroons, Rev. Fr Ambeazieh questioned why the government of la Republique du Cameroon with her military occupation has very tenaciously held the later nation with illegal and wanton exploitation of its rich human and natural resources.
“We are hereby calling the United Nations to give an immediate quit notice to the government of la Republique du Cameroon to withdraw with immediate effect from the independent territory of Southern Cameroons in order to maintain international peace and security as inscribed in the preamble charter of the United Nations”. He fumed
Quizzed on state symbols of southern Cameroons, the interim administrator said all is in the pipeline and will be unveiled at the appropriate time.”When the time comes you will see everything in a constitutional manner. Something like the flag is the authority of the state and should not be hoisted on a mango tree like others have been doing”. he maintained
Opening the press briefing,the host and
member of the interim government Mr Chi Che told media men and women that the complete restoration of Southern Cameroon is now in their hands. “The
freedom of this country is now in your hands. We have already laid the foundation.
Help us liberate this country." he appealed.
Worthy of note at this juncture is the existence of two homebased interim governments in a nation whose
sovereignty exists only in the minds of fanatics given that the day to day
activities of the so-called Southern Cameroon are still in the hands of la Republique du Cameroon. The interim
government headed by Rev.Fr Ambeazieh adds to the Revolutionary government of
Evangelist Ngwa Aaron Ndeh
who also claims to have restored southern Cameroons statehood on 2oth May 2015. Critics call it "child's play" given
that non of the above governments has a grip of any territory that falls within
former British Southern Cameroons.
