SCAPO's Open Letter to President Paul Biya of Cameroun on so-called Re-unification as published by Eye Witness Newspaper

His Excellency,

President Paul Biya,

Unity Palace,

Yaounde

Republic of Cameroon

 

Your Excellency Mr. President,

 

Subject:      YOUR PLAN TO CELEBRATE 1^ST OCTOBER AS RE-UNIFICATION DAY

 

 
         The Southern Cameroons People’s Organization (SCAPO) is a political Party in Southern Cameroons working to end the annexation and foreign occupation of Southern Cameroons since 1961.

 

          Your plan to celebrate 1^st October 2012 as Re-Unification Day and to do so in Buea capital of Southern Cameroons takes many people in Southern Cameroon by surprise.  Many do not know the reason behind the elaborate plans about this celebration which has not happened in the last fifty years. Your answers to the following questions will clear the air about this new plan for celebration in Buea:

 

-        Why do you want to celebrate an event that did not take place?

 

-        Why a celebration when your country voted at the United Nations in 1961 that they did not want Union with Southern Cameroons?

 

-        Why this celebration after your government (for 50 years) carried out yearly harassment and arrests of Southern Cameroonians on every 1^st October for celebrating their independence day?

 

-        Why do you call the event Re-Unification?
