I donot share the opinion with many who imagine that the Southern Cameroons will acquire statehood on a platter of gold or through any of the institutions inherent in the present poltical dispensation of 'La Republique'.The SCNC will be over simplifying the struggle in the eyes of the international community if it continues the struggle in dispersed ranks.I think the problem lies in ideological differences with some opting for total secession and others federalism.I am for the second option because I have a firm conviction that if we obtain immediate secession without resolving the northwest/southwest cleavage,we will drown ourselves in total chaos like many countries who after gaining independence suffered ethnic and civil conflicts.Thus federalism will be a level ground for us to test our political maturity and consolidate our unity.Also in the present world political dispensation,immediate secession will not be easy option to on which to draw popularity.The African continent needs to consolidate its unity so as to better stand against the on going globalistion.The cases of other secessionists movements who have not really achieved their goals despite decades in the struggle.notworthy are ETA in Spain,IRA(N.Ireland),SADR(Morrocco) etc.
It is my humble opinion that anglophone souvereignty be raised to the level of a 'doctrine' and that the young be given the opportunity to direct the struggle.

This audit will need, among others, seasoned demographers, and I am sure the territory has many of these. I will be interested in the census of the territory for the purpose, among others, of road infrastructure. Years ago someone (an airbag) promised supervising a ringroad up country. This was not even electioneering; it was plain cynicism on his part because he never intended to do anything about the project. Today, if our demographers can tell us how many we are, and we can organise a serious fund-raising drive over a period of one year, we can build our own super highway spanning the length of SCmr from Nkambe to Victoria, passing through all the important towns on the land. For this to happen, we need honest financiers to keep the money while more is being collected for the project. When enough is collected to kick-start the project, the work may be started from both ends. Your inspiration for this should come from the Channel Tunnel between continental Europe and Britain. The project was started from both ends and satellites were used to monitor progress. We will not need satellites, just honest, hard-working people of the land. For the fund-raising, every SCian, child or adult, will count. If there are 6 million of us contributing 1000 francs a month, we will raise 6,000,000,000 francs in a month. In 10 months, we will raise 60,000,000,000 francs. In the absence of graft and other corrupt practices, this money should be enough to build us a super highway. Following the succes of this poject, we can go on to other areas, health, education, etc.
I should be interested to have feedback from contributors on this thought.

That is a great point. We need to start from the fundamentals. What kind of country would be want. I have outlined where I think we should be headed above. Since this is interactive, please modify and reshape my contribution. Even edit it out completely.

LIKE A HOUSE, ITS HARD TO BUILD BUTEASY TO DESTROY.
SOUTHERN CAMEROONIANS LEADERSHIP MUST NEVER MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE AGAIN. TO ALLOW OUR HOME LAND TO BE RAPE BY MILITARY
FORCES, WE MUST CREAT A WELL TRAINED AND ARMED NATION TO SECURE OUR TERRITORIAL INTERGRITY. WE MUST BE STRONGER THAN STEEL YET COOL LIKE ICE, WE MUST INVITE ALL GREAT THINKERS FROM ALL WORKS OF LIFE TO A SOUTHERN CAMEROONS NATION BUILDING CONFERENCE, MEN LIKE MY MYSELF TO HAMMER OUT A ROCK SOLID
MASTER PLAN TO SURGE AHEAD. WE MUST NEVER CREAT A CLASS STRUGGLE,, SAY ONLY PHD HOLDERS ARE IMPORTANAT, EVERY MAN/WOMAN OF SOUTHERN CAMEROONS IS IMPORTANT.
SOO, GOD BLESS YOU AND LETS HOPE THAT OUR INDEPENDENCE COMESS SOONER AND WITHOUT WAR. FOR ONCE AGIAN THE WORLD IS REMINDED THAT COLONIALISM ISNT ONLY A WHITEMAN GUILT,BUT BLACK-FRENCH MEN OF CAMEROUN HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN COLONIALISING FELOW AFRICANS FOR 45 YRS TOO. SOO IS THE HISTORY BOOKS FOR OUR TOMORROW CHILDREN.
