National Times update. Tuesday November 6, 2007.
Southern CamerooniansForty-three (43) Southern Cameroonians, some of them parents with children, today took the United Nations compound in Abuja, Nigeria hostage demanding that the UN look into the situation of Southern Cameroon. The Southern Cameroonians marched into the UN Compound early today and kept thge UN officials busy with their demands.
The Southern Cameroonians said that the United Nations illegally handed over their country to Frenbch Cameroun. They also complained about a wave of harassment and intimidation by the Nigerian police.
Southern Cameroonians in the Abuja area last weekrecorded a major victory against the Nigerian police when they were dragged to court and formally charged for “holding illegal gatherings.”
A Judge of the Abuja Magistrate Court released the Southern Cameroonians, ruled that Southern Cameroonians were an “endangered species” and ordered the Nigerian government to help them “wherever and whenever” necessary.
The Judge cited a March 5, 2002 Ruling in a case brought against the Federal Government of Nigeria by members o the Southern Cameroons People’s Organization, SCAPO, which ruling “ordered the Federal Republic of Nigeria to take any other measures as may be necessary to place the case of the peoples of the geographical territory known as at 1st October 1960 as Southern Cameroons for self-determination before the United Nations General Assembly and any other relevant international organizations.”
The Ruling also “banned past, present and future governments of the Federal Republic of Nigeria from considering Southern Cameroons as part of La Republique du Cameroun.
“It is unfortunate that the Nigerian administration which is our Big Brother and which is supposed to protect us is instead intimidating us,” a spokesperson for the group declared.
The spokesperson cited the beheading of a Southern Cameroonian in Lagos, Nigeria last week by some unknown persons as part of “extreme harassment by some misguided persons.”
The group in the UN compound had vowed to stay put and even go on hunger strike until they get an answer from the UN.
