Bush-Blair: The War They Wanted, the Lies They Needed. By Craig Unger of Vanity Fair

    The Bush administration invaded Iraq claiming Saddam Hussein had tried to buy yellowcake uranium in Niger. As much of Washington knew, and the world soon learned, the charge was false. Worse, it appears to have been the cornerstone of a highly successful "black propaganda" campaign with links to the White House.

    It's a crisp, clear winter morning in Rome. In the neighborhood between the Vatican and the Olympic Stadium, a phalanx of motor scooters is parked outside a graffiti-scarred 10-story apartment building. No. 10 Via Antonio Baiamonte is home to scores of middle-class families, and to the embassy for the Republic of Niger, the impoverished West African nation that was once a French colony.

    Though it may be unprepossessing, the Niger Embassy is the site of one of the great mysteries of our times. On January 2, 2001, an embassy official returned there after New Year's Day and discovered that the offices had been robbed. Little of value was missing - a wristwatch, perfume, worthless documents, embassy stationery, and some official stamps bearing the seal of the Republic of Niger. Nevertheless, the consequences of the robbery were so great that the Watergate break-in pales by comparison.

    A few months after the robbery, Western intelligence analysts began hearing that Saddam Hussein had sought yellowcake - a concentrated form of uranium which, if enriched, can be used in nuclear weapons - from Niger. Next came a dossier purporting to document the attempted purchase of hundreds of tons of uranium by Iraq. Information from the dossier and, later, the papers themselves made their way from Italian intelligence to, at various times, the C.I.A., other Western intelligence agencies, the U.S. Embassy in Rome, the State Department, and the White House, as well as several media outlets. Finally, in his January 2003 State of the Union address, George W. Bush told the world, "The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa."

The United States Government Stand on Southern Cameroons Declassified

* Area still of Serious Concern to the United States

The UN and affiliated bodies and most powerful hegemonic nations that defend freedoms for the sake of international peace and security can team up and change Ambazonia's (Southern Cameroons') tomorrow today too! This is true to a nation under voodoo and vampire rule by illegal Cameroun landlords! Back in 1959, decolonization of many countries was taking place. At the samet time the Communist expansionist threat on the African continent was equally becoming as alarming as the Cold War fever gripped the victors of World War II. It was the dread of Communist domination ( cautioned by the fact that the Communist Union du Populations Camerounaise (UPC) had infiltrated Southern Cameroons and was kowtowing with John Ngu Foncha) that led the West to produce the ludicrous 1. "The Two Alternatives," 2. "Attaining Independence by Joining" either an independent Nigeria or an Independent Cameroun Republic.

December 30th 1999: The Takeover of Radio Buea

By Ntemfac A. N Ofege

The intention of the December 30th Proclamation in Radio Buea was never to overthrow Prince Ndoki Mukete. Ndoki Mukete did in fact sign the text of the Proclamation of the Restoration of the Sovereign Independence of the Federal Democratic Republic of the Southern Cameroons but said that he would not be a party to the takeover of Radio Buea for several reasons notably;

-The plot had leaked or had been leaked;

- He did not trust some of his collaborators;

Cameroon's current constitution makes out that should Mr. Paul Biya, heretofore, president of Cameroon drops dead suddenly, the president of the National Assembly, Mr. Cavaye Yeguie Djibril will become president for 45 days. During that time, Mr. Cavaye must conduct presidential elections. He is not authorised by the constitution to be a candidate. He cannot change the constitution.
The issue becomes relevant now that the rumour mill actually signed off Paul Biya recently. The issue becomes relevant because Mr. Biya's succession plan has always been in place. That program is anchored on the fact that the Northerners have the Number 2 Slot in the regime (Cavaye Yeguie) while the Anglophones and Bamilekes have the Number 3 position (Mafany Musonge). The Betis should again claim the presidency, except the northern merchants like Amadou Ali, Marafa Yaya, Sadou Hayatou, etc. say: Asha!
