ACHPR Ruling: Biya Regime given 180 Days to Dialogue with SCNC, SCAPO, under African Commission Supervision; recognizes

Southern Cameroonians

as a People.

Contrary to  a communiqué from Biya regime spokesman, Issa Bakary Tchiroma, claiming that the self-determination case brought against the government of Cameruon at the Banjul African Court of Human and Peoples Rights, ACHPR, was thrown out of court, the ACHPR did the opposite. Mr. Tchiroma’s communiqué was read over CRTV and published in Cameroon Tribune under the fake Com. 223/2007 whereas the SCNC/SCAPO case in

Banjul

is Com. 266/2003. 

The African Commission not only frowned at all attempts by the Biya government to have the case thrown out, but it also dismissed and discountenanced all arguments brought against the SCNC and SCAPO by the Biya regime and then passed a milestone ruling or recommendation.

The African Human Rights Commission found that, with regards to the

Southern Cameroons

issue, the Biya and Ahidjo regimes violated a number of important rights protected by the African Charter.
