After all, our great philosopher Jean Jacque Rousseau wrote in his book “The Social Contract” that ‘man is born free but everywhere he is in chains’ Article 1 of the universal declaration of human rights does remind us on this “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. The are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood” This clearly reminds us that everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedom set forth in the UN Declaration and accompanying charters without distinction as to race, color, sex, language, religion, political, and or other opinions. The paradox that man is born free but everywhere he/she is in chains is very visible of 21st century Cameroun vies a vies The Federal Democratic Republic of The Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia), and every attempt to seek a solution to the problem within a purely secular framework has failed- Reasons for the creation of the Southern Cameroons defense force (SOCADEF). Totalitarianism, greed, and despotism are today more firmly entrenched in La Republique Du Cameroon and the aging generation of Southern Cameroons leaders than they ever were in the past. The need to reappraise the foundation on which the whole concept of human rights has therefore never been more pressing than it is today in Cameroun. The UN Declaration of Human Rights 1948 is a very important document (Article 9,10,11 ) as they explain obligated sovereignty and it’s impact on individual freedom. These articles though engrafted in the National Legislations of The Southern Cameroons occupiers ( la Republique du Cameroun ), is not to safeguard our inalienable rights and fundamental freedoms but for the International community as guarantee for loans. In the memorable words of the American Declaration of Independence by Thomas Jefferson, he said “We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from consent of the governed” In a nutshell, it means human rights are not given by the government. They are the structures upon which governments are based and justified. Thomas Jefferson set forth a fundamental principle upon which democratic governments are founded. Governments in a democracy are created to protect those freedoms that every individual possesses by virtue of his/her existence. Our 17th century philosophers (John Locke, Rousseau) told us that inalienable rights are not destroyed when civil society is created and neither society nor government can remove or alienate them. These include- freedom of speech and expression (article 19 UN Charter), freedom of conscience, the right of equal protection before the law (article 7 Julius Che' s Web Blog 7 UN Charter) and even la Republique du Cameroun’s law no. 90/55 of 19th December 1990 on freedom of Assembly. If we have to ask ourselves the question on what human rights are, we will all say is about the curtailment of the abstract and super state power. Better still, is about the limitation of absolute power corrupting absolutely. It is based on the idea that all humankind is a rational aspiring creatures, equal in dignity and individuality and firmly attached to the ideals of justice and compassion. However, this writer knows many leaders and people in La Republique du Cameroun and even within the oppressed people of The Southern Cameroons will consider this notion to be wholly absurd, ridiculous and a rhetorical nonsense. The UN holds that the denial of human rights and fundamental freedoms does not only constitute individual and personal tragedy but also creates conditions of social and political unrest by sowing seeds of violence and conflict within and between societies and nations. Yet this multi-billion dollar enterprise called the United Nations has failed in almost every aspect as the watch dog for peace in the world either due to negligence or deliberate failure to act as the case of The Southern Cameroons. Is it not then hypocrisy when the first sentence of the UN Charter on Human Rights holds that the respect for human rights and human dignity is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world? The occupiers of The Southern Cameroons –La Republique du Cameroon is a SIGNATORY to almost all of the UN Instruments and Declaration, yet Cameroun has not evolved any respectable human rights standing. This was highlighted by the great American x-ambassador to Cameroun Harriet Isom( 1991-1993 ) at a Mbalmayo seminar for jurist that “ Too often, Cameroonians have been asked to settle for a democracy of smoke and mirror, for words that do not correspond to realities”. However, to broader her meaning to this assertion, the breach of our fundamental rights and freedoms does not rest solely on the CPDM Regime of Paul Biya, but also inside the different restorationist movements in the Southern Cameroons promoting the course for self-determination. If we look into the present date human rights situation in the Southern Cameroons, we cannot avoid the conclusion that La Republique du Cameroun as an Internationally recognized geographical unit of Human community of diverse cultures and history is fraught with uncertainty, born of conflict and of potential conflict ( the case of the Southern Cameroons ) engendered by wanton abuses of the fundamental rights of it’s constituent human member.

    74 JOURNAL OF AFRICAN ELECTIONS INDEPENDENT CANDIDATURE AND THE ELECTORAL PROCESS IN AFRICA Churchill Ewumbue-Monono Dr Churchill Ewumbue-Monono is Minister-Counsellor in the Cameroon Embassy in Russia UI Povarskaya, 40, PO Box 136, International Post, Moscow, Russian Federation Tel: +290 65 49/2900063; Fax: +290 6116 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This study reviews the participation of independent, non-partisan candidates in Africa. It examines the development of competitive elections on the continent between 1945 and 2005, a period which includes both decolonisation and democratic transition elections. It also focuses on the participation of independent candidates in these elections at both legislative and presidential levels. It further analyses the place of independent candidature in the continent’s future electoral processes. INTRODUCTION The concept of political independence, whether it refers to voters or to candidates, describes an individual’s non-attachment to and non-identification with a political party. Generally, voter-centred political independence takes the form of independent voters who, when registering to vote, do not declare their affiliation to a political party. There are also swing or floating voters, who vote independently for personalities or issues not for parties, and switch voters, who are registered voters with a history of crossing party lines. Furthermore, candidate-centred political independence may take the form of apolitical, independent, non-partisan candidates, as well as official and unofficial party candidates (Safire 1968, p 658). The recognition of political independence as a feature of the electoral process has led to the involvement of ‘independent personalities’ in managing election institutions. Examples are ‘independent judiciaries’, ‘independent electoral commissions’, and ‘independent election observers’.

  • The Powerlessness of Cameroon's Reuniàcation Monuments
    The Powerlessness of Cameroon’s 5HXQLÀFDWLRQ0RQXPHQWV Joseph Lon NFI, PhD University of Buea Cameroon Abstract This study attempts to investigate the symbolism and popularity of the Reunification Monuments constructed in Yaounde and Mamfe some years after the political reunification of the two Cameroons. These monuments were constructed to commemorate the reunification of Cameroon, considered by many as the most significant event in postcolonial Cameroon history. This study intends to investigate why the monuments became victims of neglect, indifference and even scorn from Cameroonians only a few decades after reunification. An analysis of the data collected from interviews and secondary sources reveals that the monuments remain unpopular like the reunification history itself largely due to the failure of the powers that be to project this aspect of Cameroon history. The monuments have, therefore, remained powerless, as they have not immortalized the reunification of Cameroon, as is the case with reunification monuments elsewhere. Key Words Reunification, Monuments, Plebiscite, Southern Cameroons, Republique du Cameroun Introduction Cameroon became a German protectorate in July 1884 following the signing of the Germano-Duala Treaty between German traders and some Douala Chiefs along the coast of Cameroon. German administration in Cameroon ended in 1916 when Anglo-French forces defeated the Germans in the territory following the outbreak of the First World War in Europe in 1914. When the war ended in Cameroon, Britain and France decided to partition Cameroon into British and French dominated areas. In the partition, France received four- 125 fifths of the territory and Britain, the remaining one-fifth. The international community through the League of Nations recognised the partition and requested the powers to administer their respective areas as Mandate Territories of the League of Nations.

  • Understanding Conflicts in Cameroon History Through 'Awilo's' Song 'Contri Don Spoil' Henry Kam Kah 1
    Understanding Conflicts in Cameroon History through 'Awilo's' Song 'Contri Don Spoil' Henry Kam Kah 1 Abstract According to Geoff Crowther, Cameroon is Africa's most socially artificial country. Although this description seems an exaggeration of reality, Cameroon history after reunification in 1961 displays linguistic cleavages of the English and French cultures. This is a fall-out of German colonialism and the partition of Cameroon into French and British Cameroons after the First World War of 1914 to 1916. During the era of British and French colonial administration, the Mungo River was an important restrictive barrier to the free movement of goods, services and people across the Anglo-French spheres of the Cameroons. The 'officialising' of socio-political differences by successive ruling elite of the two linguistic groups for self-interest has been captured by Ndi Tansa aka 'Awilo' in his sound track titled 'contri don spoil.' The failure of the ruling elite to 'officialise' or promote nationhood in Cameroon is due to among other things a result of inherent cleavages among English speaking Cameroonians. It is also due to a failed romance between the two linguistic groups at the official level. This essay explores the socio-political tensions in a country united in disunity as captured in the music of 'Awilo's hit song 'contri don spoil. ' 1. Introduction: Historical Roots of the Problem The song 'contri don spoil' by Awilo reflects the problems of Cameroon whose roots are in the British and French colonial administration. The histor: of Cameroon from 1916 is a 'tale of two countries' ; namely English an French speaking Cameroons.
