UN: Legalize Prostitution, Drug Use and Homosexual Sex, to Stop AIDS

By Chief A.S Ngwana

Chief A.S  Ngwana

The United Nation is now controlled by Population Controllers and they want all the countries of the world to change our Criminal and Moral Laws to conform to their economic, Political, Eugenic and Satanic interests.

It is certain that many countries will pull out of the United Nation if the United Nations is controlled by Population Controllers who are mainly European and American countries who do not have the interest of the Developing Countries at heart.  African Countries must consider the United Nations as the instrument of the Population Controllers who are working against the economic, political, moral and spirit interest of Africa.

Population Controllers produce all types of excuses to subvert African interests, and we must be careful of their intrigues. They are not African friends  

“A new report issued by a UN commission established by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon claims that all nations must legalize prostitution as part of any successful effort to deal with the AIDS pandemic.  This report, titled “HIV and the Law: Risks, Rights & Health” also calls for the legalization and destigmatization of injection drug use and sexual relations between males—all in the name of AIDS prevention. 

Ironically, the report acknowledges that “sex workers” (the euphemism used for prostitutes), intravenous drug users, and “men who have sex with men” have the highest incidence of AIDS, yet the commission still calls upon nations to legalize and destigmatize these risky behaviors.  

We could have predicted the recommendations because the commission was stacked with committed “sexual rights” activists.  The report simply recycles the same discredited arguments that have been made for some time now by UNAIDS and other UN agencies, which are reflected in the UNAIDS “International Guidelines on HIV/AIDS and Human Rights.”  (Click here for our policy brief on the Guidelines and here to see our brief on failed UN HIV/AIDS policies.)

The argument the report uses for legalizing high-risk behaviors is a common argument used by sexual rights activists and goes something like this:In many countries, prostitutes, drug users and male homosexuals feel marginalized or fearful because their behavior is outlawed and not considered acceptable by the society in which they live.  As a result, they argue, these “vulnerable” individuals will not come forward for counseling, testing and treatment, and so they will continue to spread AIDS at a much higher rate than the general population.  Sexual rights activists claim that governments must not only legalize these high-risk behaviors but also destigmatize them through public campaigns and comprehensive sexuality education programs in the schools so that these high-risk individuals will not be discouraged from taking advantage of HIV-related services.

The problem with his logic is that it ignores the fact that these groups generally have much higher rates of HIV infections than the general population, not lower rates.  This is the case even in developed countries.  In France the HIV infection rate among MSM is said to be “out of control.” 

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control issued a fact sheet showing that the only group in the U.S. in which HIV infection rates are dramatically rising is in the population of men who have sex with men, even though homosexual sex is legal in the U.S. and is increasingly being “destigmatized.”  

The major reason for these outcomes is the simple fact that whatever behavior you legalize and destigmatize in society will likely increase, not decrease.  Therefore, wherever the recommendations in this UN report are implemented there will likely be more AIDS cases, not fewer.

Wouldn’t it be better to simply establish confidentiality laws and policies that would allow high-risk individuals to obtain HIV-related services without fear of being penalized for seeking help?  Wouldn’t it be better to set up programs that would provide counseling to help people change their high-risk behaviors rather than condone them?

What is really behind this push to protect these high-risk behaviors in the name of HIV/AIDS prevention?  It is a thinly-disguised manipulation of the AIDS pandemic and the UN system by sexual rights activists to mainstream promiscuous sexual behavior in societies around the world, regardless of the consequences. 

This commission revealed its bias when they cited the notorious Yogyakarta Principles in their report as a guide for promoting the sexual rights of “sexual minorities.”  (See our brief on this radical document here.)  Among other assertions, the Yogyakarta Principles, which was created by international sexual rights activists, is their claim that “sexual rights” trump free speech and religious liberty rights.  The Principles even claim that governments are obligated to help people with sex-change operations.

This UN commission report is just the most recent example of sexual rights advocates putting their agenda ahead of any other considerations including the safety and health of individuals as well as the larger society.” (By Sharon Slater, President, Family Watch International}  

African Countries must be vigilant to know that what is coming out from the UN, Europe and America today is not in the best interest of Africa. Christianity is the only good thing that ever came out from Europe.

Cameroon ex-minister tried in botched presidential jet buy

Marafa Hamidou Yaya (AFP/File, Reinnier Kaze)

YAOUNDE (AFP) — A Cameroon court has started the trial of former interior minister Marafa Hamidou Yaya who is accused of embezzling $29 million dollars intended as a downpayment on a presidential jet.

The trial began Thursday with two witnesses who gave evidence against Marafa, who is on trial with five co-accused. The hearing ran late into the night and{ continued} on Friday with ten more prosecution witnesses.

Marafa and his co-accused, including the head of the now defunct flag carrier Camair, Yves Michel Fotso, are accused of stealing 23.6 million euros allocated in 2001 as a first payment for a Boeing plane for President Paul Biya.

Cameroon then rented another plane called the Albatross but this proved defective during a first flight with the presidential family and was forced to make an emergency landing.

At the beginning of May, a former ambassador to the United States, Jerome Mendouga, was jailed for 10 years in connection with the same affair.

Biya, who has been in power since 1982, has launched a major drive against corruption, which has seen several of his former aides brought before the courts.

He won election to a sixth term of office in October 2011 in a vote widely criticised by the opposition and diplomats as riddled with irregularities and fraud.

Cameroon: Marafa Expected simultaneously in two courts this morning!

In one court, for hearing on embezzlement case and in the other for defamation lawsuit filed by  John Fru Ndi and the SDF

By Christopher Ambe

The embezzlement case pitting Marafa Hamidou Yaya and the people of Cameroon, which started last July 16 but was adjourned to today July 24 for trial, will be heard this morning.

 Marafa Hamidou Yaya, ex- SG at the Presidency of the Republic and former Minister of Territorial Administration, with others, is being prosecuted  in Mfoundi High Court Yaoundé for alleged  embezzlement of funds meant for the purchase  in 2003 of a Presidential plane for Cameroon 

But surprisingly, Mr.Marafa has also been summoned to appear this morning before the State Counsel of the Court of Frist Instance in Yaoundé “in order to be heard in connection with a law suit filed by the Social Democratic Front and John Fru Ndi against Marafa four years ago”, US-trained lawyer, Professor Ndiva Kofele Kale, Counsel for Marafa told reporters on Sunday in Buea.

 Following are two quick observations made by Professor kale on what he terms the latest assault on Mr.Marafa’s rights as a free citizen of Cameroon:

**  1^st the Govt wants to embarrass my party, the SDF, and its Nat’l Chairman, by trying to use them as a Trojan horse to penetrate Marafa’s ‘defense perimeter’ in order to neutralize him. But the Chairman is no dupe: John Fru Ndi is one of the most experienced and seasoned political leaders in this country and no one, especially not this Govt., is going to take him for a ride!

**  2^nd after failing to subdue Marafa through the contrived lawsuit filed by the convicted murderer, Bissong, some 3 weeks ago and defended by a Govt lawyer, it is now clear to any doubting Thomas that this Govt is determined to do everything within its power, even subverting its own laws, to keep Mr. Marafa behind bars!!    

Let’s leave everything in the hands of the Cameroonian people, for it is they who will deliver the final verdict!”

Concerning the embezzlement case, Professor Kale told the press that the Marafa defense was only handed an incomplete casefile barely four days ago. Below is Professor’s press statement on Sunday:

  

Marafa’s Defense Asks for Equality-of-Arms between the Parties: A Press Statement

 “Following their arraignment in the Mfoundi High Court, on Monday, July 16, a certain well known media organ, relying on the assurances given by the presiding judge, hurriedly announced to the Cameroonian public that copies of the case file in The People of Cameroon v Marafa Hamidou Yaya, Yves Michel Fotso et al. were already in the possession of the defendants. That announcement was premature because it was not until the late afternoon of Thursday, July 19 that an incomplete case file was delivered to the defendants. 

Less than two weeks ago, President Paul Biya, in response to a question put to him by a CRTV reporter, declared his complete confidence in our courts and promised to respect their verdict. When our Supreme Magistrate made this declaration, had he in mind the Mebara case where the accused was acquitted of several of the charges against him but is still being detained at the Yaounde Central Prison because the State Counsel chose to flee rather than sign the order releasing him? Or did the head of state’s confidence in our system of justice extend to the recent handling of the Titus Edzoa and Thierry Atangana file? It will be recalled that after 3 years of hearings in the Mfoundi High Court, on the day judgment was to be delivered, one of the three judges on the panel was suddenly transferred to a new duty post.

Would the treatment of the Marafa, Yves Michel Fotso and Nkounda Julienne case elicit presidential endorsement?  Informed in court on Monday, July 16 that their trial would begin on Tuesday, July 24, and that the record of the preliminary investigation was ready and copies would be made available to them, these defendants reluctantly accepted to prepare their legal defense in this short interval! The defendants would be served with the promised case file days later. But it was an incomplete file: the Examining Magistrate having conceded back in June that it would take the Chief Registrar about four months to assemble it!

It would be extremely difficult for the defendants to mount an effective defense without full access to the case file. We harp on this point because economic crime cases generally turn on documentary evidence. A paper trail must be established to demonstrate the movement of the misappropriated funds from the public treasury into the private account(s) of the accused. The defense is therefore within its rights in demanding access to the documents the State plans to rely on to establish the nexus between the accused and the purloined funds. Seven days, now reduced to four, to review a case file it took the State several months to assemble, which the defendants were seeing for the first time only a few days ago, do not afford the accused sufficient time to prepare an adequate defense in a case of this order!

Be careful what you wish for, an old proverb warns, as it may come true! For months Marafa and Fotso have been asking for their day in court to tell the truth, the whole truth concerning the abortive purchase of a mind-blowing $72 million Boeing Business jet aircraft for President Paul Biya. Now that the opportunity has presented itself, why are they still complaining? Their objections have nothing to do with their willingness to face their accusers but at the unseemly haste they are being dragged to court, without the slightest regard for their constitutionally-protected due process rights. They complain not because they are afraid to spend time in jail but because they are being forced to play on a playing field that is far from level. Not even Muhammad Ali, reputed to be the greatest professional boxer of all time, would have volunteered to step in a ring blindfolded to defend his championship belt against a Joe Frazier or a George Foreman! But this is precisely what Messrs Marafa and Fotso are being asked to do: to appear in court in a matter of days without having reviewed material information critical in preparing their defense! This violates all the rules of fair play inherent in our adversarial system of justice.

Members of the Press, a criminal trial in a democratic society, which Cameroon claims to be, should not be reduced to a medieval inquisition. After all, even those accused of a crime enjoy rights that must be protected. Foremost among which is the right to a fair hearing, guaranteed in our Constitution. Implicit in this right is the principle of “equality-of-arms” (egalité des armes) between the parties. The United Nations Human Rights Committee, the judicial body charged with monitoring State compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, has stated that a fair hearing requires that the Prosecution and the Defense be treated in a manner ensuring (a) that they have a procedurally equal position throughout the course of the trial, and (b) are in an equal position to make their case.

Equality of arms requires that the prosecution as well as the accused is afforded a reasonable opportunity to present its case, under conditions that do not place it at a substantial disadvantage vis-à-vis the opposing party. This is particularly important in criminal trials where the prosecution has all the machinery of the State behind it. It is in situations such as these that the principle of equality of arms takes on importance as an essential guarantee of the right to defend oneself. It ensures that the defense has a reasonable opportunity to prepare and present its case on a footing equal to that of the prosecution. Each side must be given adequate time and facilities to prepare a defense, including disclosure by the prosecution of material information. The State of Cameroon has not respected these safeguards in its case against Marafa et al. The defendants have not only been kept in the dark with respect to material information in the State’s custody but have been given less than a week to prepare their defense. This can hardly be considered adequate time especially in a case with such national significance. 

Let us not forget that Mr. Marafa’s stake in this trial is of immense importance, both because of the possibility that if found guilty he may lose his liberty for a long time and because of the certainty that he and members of his family would be forever stigmatized by the conviction. Respect for human dignity makes it incumbent on any competent court to establish with moral certainty an accused person’s guilt before punishment is inflicted. It is equally incumbent on the criminal process to proceed with extreme caution when prosecuting persons accused of any crime much less the one Messrs Marafa and Fotso have been accused of-- misappropriation of funds belonging to the people of Cameroon.

Members of the Press, we believe that the Cameroonian people, on whose behalf this trial is being conducted, have an interest in making sure that their system of criminal justice functions properly on the basis of internationally-recognized judicial principles.  It is also in their collective interest to make sure that the conviction and punishment of Mr. Marafa and the other accused persons follow from evidence which leaves no doubt as to their guilt. Without this assurance there is a reasonable possibility that innocent compatriots may end up being punished for a crime they did not commit!

Hon Ayah’s party sees no justification in Cameroon’s projected abolition of fuel subsidies

                 Following is a PAP Communique on Fuel Subsidies in Cameroun:

In the protection of their interest, some Camerounese have been feeding wavelengths of late with deceitful counsel on the justification for the abolition of fuel subsidies by the government.

The most ridiculous are the assertions of the general manager of SONARA – the very refinery that Camerounese have been told in recent years did cease to refine Cameroun’s crude oil with the demise of President Ahmadou Ahidjo. One wonders whether SONARA has now replaced the government in the drawing up of Camerounese economic policies!

Be the situation as it may, the leaders of People’s Action Party (PAP) see no justification in the projected abolition of fuel subsidies. This is because the purpose is to enable a tiny minority of Camerounese to continue to swim in opulence from the pillage of our nation, and at the expense of ordinary people who are already languishing in misery: the vast majority. It would be no exaggeration to say that, in

Cameroun, less than 1% of the citizens possess 98% of the commonwealth.

May it be recalled that Ayah Paul, the national chairman of PAP, as far back as 2009, did decry the appropriation of some 103 billions in the budget of Cameroun for fuel and entertainment allowances to the benefit of a few public servants. Ayah has since pointed out, time without number, that more than 2.5 million a day for the secretary general at the Presidency of the Republic for fuel is more than just waste; and that it is unconscionable in the face of some other Camerounese lacking 10 francs for a magi cube for his survival. It is all the more immoral that the secretary general who hardly ever leaves Yaounde for any distant place should have that much for the sole performance of his official duty!

In recurring to those fantastic appropriations, one is not unaware that, since Ayah’s analysis,expenditure for fuel and entertainment has dropped from 103 billions in 2010 to 57 billions in 2012. But simultaneously has “depenses communes” soared from 134 to 164 billions. Some British economist is yet to be hired to explain to the ordinary Camerounese what “depenses communes” means. Lay understanding of the “complicated phrase”, however, is that not up to 30 of 164 billions appear to fall within the realm of proper appropriation. We challenge the Minister of Finance who is charged with the management of “depenses communes” to prove the contrary to the people!

Again, the beneficiary ministers and select public servants do not constitute up to o.ooo1% of Camerounese. Yet are all departmental vehicles at their disposal – at times up to a dozen for one person. As a matter of fact, the state of Cameroun has acquired more and heavier vehicles today than it did ever acquire prior to the economic crisis.

Such vehicles are heavy feeders; and they are used more for private transactions than otherwise. We do see them carrying produce and, at times, even firewood for private persons for whatever considerations.And we all know they run wholly at the expense of the state in reference particularly to fuel.

And so are we of opinion that it is enough for the government to reduce the number of departmental vehicles; buy smaller vehicles for lesser fuel-consumption; reduce by half expenditure on fuel and entertainment; cut “depenses communes” by 50%...and ordinary Cameroonian, would pay much less than the current fuel prices. For then, the savings from those measures would provide for even greater subsidies; and the surplus would build thousands of kilometers of roads per annum should embezzlement be checked! In consequence do we of PAP say, with vehemence, NO to the abolition of fuel subsidies!

Cameroun na soso suffer?!

Pregnancy is not a disease

* Chief A.S. Ngwana in Douala

Chief A.S Ngwana

The natural way by which human beings are conceived and born is through pregnancy.  Pregnancy occurs when the sperm of the man fertilizes the egg of the woman, normally during sexual intercourse.

The sexual act is one of the most pleasurable and enjoyable acts created by God for the purpose of multiplying and increasing the human race.

Puberty is the process of physical changes by which a child’s body matures into an adult body capable of sexual reproduction to enable fertilization. The major landmark of puberty for males is the first ejaculation (wet dreams) which occurs on average at age about 13. For females, it is menarche, the onset of menstruation, the beginning of womanhood, which occurs on average between ages of about 12 - 13. At puberty ovaries contain about 10,000 immature ova or eggs that are the female cells for reproduction. Once a month, throughout all the fertile period of life of a woman (average from 13-14 to 45-50 years of age) ovaries expel one egg at a time, once every 28 days. This process is called ovulation. Ovulation stops throughout the 9 months of pregnancy and starts again a few weeks after delivery of the child. Ovulation continues until menopause when the woman reaches 45-50 years and menstruation stops.

A woman can continue to have many children before she reaches menopause. In May 3 2003 the News of the World, a British newspaper reported that Nicola Pidhan, 40, was expecting her 20^th baby. She and her husband Kevin had had one child every year over two decades. 

Men have no time limit, and they can continue to impregnate girls even after 80, as the case of Scotty, the great-grandfather when his wife gave birth to his seventh child.

Once pregnancy occurs, the fertilized egg must be treated as a Human Being with inalienable rights of the person which must be recognized and respected by society and political authority. These human rights depend neither on single individuals nor on parents; nor do they represent a concession made by society and the state; they belong to human nature and are inherent in the person by virtue of the creative act from which the person took his origin. Among such fundamental rights one should mention in this regard every human being’s right to life and physical integrity from the moment of conception until death          

The discovery in the early 1950s by the American endocrinologist, Gregory Princus (1903-1967), that contraception could be reliably done by a pill containing female sex hormones, sparked off a revolution in contraception and revolutionized human sexual behavior.  The advent of the Pill ushered in the sexual revolution the sixties and set the stage for uncontrollable changes.   What the sexual revolution and radical feminism promised was that the pursuit of freedom, sexual equality, sexual pleasure and the rejection of traditional morality would bring individual happiness and build a more truly human society.

“Reproductive rights” and “anti-birth ideology” spread rapidly under the umbrella of the U.N. and the European Union.  Anti-life groups, population controllers and Governments took this up and started legalizing illegalities

They concentrated all their efforts on Artificial Birth Controls to reduce human population

 

NATURAL BIRTH CONTROLS are instilled by nature (the Creator Himself) in the human body so that the body can function correctly and naturally.

 

ARTIFICIAL BIRTH CONTROLS is an umbrella term for several techniques and methods used to prevent fertilization or to interrupt pregnancy at various stages. Artificial birth control techniques and methods include contraception (the prevention of fertilization), contragestion  (preventing the implantation of the blastocyst) and abortion (the removal or expulsion of a fetus or embryo from the uterus). Contraception includes barrier methods, such as condoms or diaphragm, hormonal contraception, also known as oral contraception, and injectable contraceptives. Contragestives, also known as post-coital birth control, include intrauterine devices and what is known as the “morning after pill”.

 

 Last Week 11^th July, was United Nation’s World Population Day.  The United

Nations Population Fund (NFPA) marked it by calling for more funds for family planning ( Artificial Birth Controls -  contraceptives, abortions, sterilizations etc).

The same day also was the closing day of a London summit organized by the British government and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, together with UNFPA and other partners.

“Participants at the summit committed themselves to provide $4.6 billion in funding for family planning in the coming years, according to a UNFPA press release.

“Contraceptives are one of the best investments a country can make in its future,” the Web site for the London Summit affirmed.

Not an opinion shared by Austin Ruse, who commented Wednesday on the summit in a post on National Review Online. Ruse is the president of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute (C-FAM), a non-profit institute that closely follows the United Nations and other organizations on family and population issues. Ruse said that fertility rates are falling off a cliff and that “the world faces a new reality of demographic winter.”

He also pointed out that “every dollar spent on coercive UN-style family planning will be a dollar lost to the real needs of poor women: basic medical care, skilled birth attendants, education, clean water, and nutrition.”

Winter

Ruse’s point about a demographic winter is well-founded. On July 3 Reuters reported that the number of births in Germany fell to a post-war low last year. This was despite government incentives designed to reverse the trend in what is the European Union's biggest economy.

Preliminary data released by Germany's Federal Statistics Office showed 663,000 children were born in 2011, down from 678,000 in 2010, said Reuters.

In fact, every year since 1972 the number of people who died was greater than the number of children born. In 2011 the difference amounted to 190,000 people.

While people commonly believe that Muslim families have many children, an article in the June issue of the magazine Policy Review by Nicholas Eberstadt and Apoorva Shah said that fertility levels are falling dramatically in the Muslim community too.

The authors admitted that reliable data on some Muslim states is lacking, for example Afghanistan, but they cited estimates of 1.42 to 1.57 billion Muslims, about 22%-23% of the world population.

All 48 Muslim-majority countries and territories have experienced fertility decline over recent decades, the authors pointed out. Moreover, the decline has been greater than the world average decline.

“The remarkable fertility declines now unfolding throughout the Muslim world is one of the most important demographic developments in our era,” the article affirmed.

The latest data confirms the arguments in a recent book, “Population Decline and the Remaking of Great Power Politics,” edited by Susan Yoshihara and Douglas A. Sylva, who both work for C-FAM.

The demographic decline in many nations may be so severe, they explained in the book’s introduction, that some countries might not be able to achieve economic growth, fund social welfare programs, or meet their security obligations.

In recent decades there has been a 60% drop in worldwide fertility rates and the number of people aged 60 or more has multiplied 3.5 times. The ratio of workers to retired people has fallen by 25% in the last 50 years and is expected to fall by another 55% by 2050.

Destiny

“Demographics is not destiny,” they acknowledged, “but it sets the boundaries of the possible.”

The working age population of all developed countries, with the exception of the United States, will stop growing within five years, Phillip Longman pointed out in his essay. Longman, a prominent writer on demographic issues, added that is it not just the richer countries that are affected. Brazil, Chile, and Mexico are likely to have older populations that the U.S. by mid-century.

The latest U.N. projections estimate that by 2050, 75% of all countries, even in underdeveloped regions, will not have enough children to avoid population decline.

Even so Europe is particularly affected, with 18 of the 20 countries with the lowest birthrate being in Europe. The European population, including Russia, is projected to decline by some 128 million by 2050.

Journalist and author Gordon G. Chang examined the consequences of demographic change in China.

The world’s most populous nation has created demographic abnormalities that cannot be remedied for decades, he argued. There are 51.3 million more males than females as a result of sex-selective abortion.

The country will also shortly be hit by an “age wave,” Chang noted. The age cohort of those aged 60 and more, currently at 12.5% of the population, will double by 2030.

China is already short of workers and the working-age population is set to fall from just under a billion in 2015 to 789 million in 2050. This will have serious economic consequences for both China and the rest of the world, Chang pointed out.

Yet, in the face of all that is happening, the United Nations and its friends continue to campaign for billions more to be spent on further reducing the number of children.”(By Father John Flynn, LC)

The organizers of the London Summit Conference - The British Government, UNFPA, Bill and Melinda Gate Foundation, International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) and others, raised 4.6 Billion dollars to give poor women in developing countries, not to have children, while they know that countries in the developed world are facing declining populations and ageing problems.

Pregnancy is not a disease, the only reasons Population Controllers have are political, economic, eugenic, or satanic.

Cameroonian Expert Helps Recover American Investments in Mali Court battle

Dr.David Makongo

Hired by Mali Development Resources (MDR), Cameroonian-born US-based international Mining and petroleum legal expert, Dr. David Makongo recently won a title battle in a Mali court, thereby helping to recover and secure 100% ownership of an American company, MDR’s investments which were already under serious threat in Mali,The Recorder gathered

 Dr. Makongo also rescued two exploitation permits for gold, two dredges and won an award for his client of 188.000.000 Frs. CFA (about USD$100.000) in damages. Mr. Joseph Paul Smith, acting in his capacity as general administrator of MDR, by proxy signed on August 23th 2010 and entrusted in the hands of Mr. Mohamed Keita the authority to act as representative of the company in exchange of which the shareholders offered him 3% free carried interest of the company. 

 Within the framework of its activities, the company bought two dredge-machines for the exploitation of gold along the River Niger in the mining district of Téguédakan, in Kangaba. After Mr. Smith’s death in October 2010, an inventory of the assets of the company was conducted by the shareholders including Mr. Keita. When Dr. Makongo was hired and in the course of conducting his due diligence investigation in Mali, it emerged that, Mohamed Keita had been using MDR machines to exploit gold for his personal profit without ever informing the company. It was further discovered that Mr. Keita was trying to fraudulently change the name of the company from MDR to SHIRAMAX with all kinds of paperwork to justify his ownership claim.

 After attempts at persuading Mr.Keita drop his false claim failed, Dr. Makongo (supported by local counsel - Maitre Fangamba) waged a fearless legal assault against Mr.Keita for breach of trust, arguing strongly that an illegal act legalized does not become legal. Delivering judgment in the case, the President of the Court of First Instance in the 5th Municipality of Bamako, Mrs. Berthe Coumba Mafing Diallo, ordered that Keita (born on 11/09/1964 in Segou – Mali) pay MDR 189 150 000 Frs. CFA (about USD$95.000) damages from illegal exploitation of gold on company property and commanded also that Keita be placed under house arrest for twelve months.

 In winning this case, Dr. Makongo –now legal and political consultant for MDR, also succeeded in rescuing MDR’s title to two exploitation permits for gold, in securing title to two environmental permits for MDR, in maintaining intact the shareholders’ agreement of MDR and in winning the award of costs – lost production to MDR of USD$95.000. It is worthy of note that Dr. Makongo succeeded in winning this legal battle when there was a military coup in Mali that has seen the country divided between the President on exile and a military junta still pulling the shots and the strings in the country.

 Dr. Makongo’s victory in the Mali legal tussle is evidence that this Cameroonian legal petroleum/mining expert knows Africa too well and what it takes to do successful business in the continent. The Recorder has learned that Dr. Makongo is also bent on is helping his clients in Guinea, Senegal, Niger, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Congo Brazzaville secure their assets tightly and exploit resources for the benefit of all stakeholders.

SCNC is giving Anglophones false hope:Camcore Coordinator

Award-winning Emmanuel Neba-Fuh

Based in the United kingdom,Emmanuel Neba-Fuh, is  the Coordinator of Cameroon Council for Reunification (Camcore) in the  UK. Formerly a front-line  SCNC advocate,this gentleman has now rejected the group ,saying the separatist movement has  terrorist plans ,and has  been giving Anglophones false hopes.A one -time Amnesty International (UK section) speaker for schools, colleges and universities ,Mr. Neba -Fuh is now  International Development Consultant for Global Development Partnerships. He has also won  in Britain,the National Award for Community Services.He granted an exclusive online  interview to The Recorder,in which he made biting revelations about the SCNC and a lot more.

Sir, thank you for accepting to grant The Recorder this exclusive interview from the UK where you are based. Before we delve into the burning issues, can you introduce yourself to our readers?

My name is Emmanuel Neba- Fuh. I was born in Bamenda, at a time when Cameroon was called “United Republic of Cameroon. I graduated from the University of Derby in England with a BA (Hons) in Applied Community Work and Social Care. I am a holder of an Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Management from Cambridge Tutorial College and a Post Graduate Certificate in ‘Conflict Resolution from the Università Degli Studi Di Palermo, Italy.  
  Currently, I am an international development consultant for Global Development Partnerships, working to improve legislative oversights for extractive revenues, for the benefit of impoverished communities in Commonwealth Africa.
 I served as Amnesty International (UK section) speaker for schools, colleges and universities in the East Midlands for five years, working mainly on issues of Human Rights, genocide and refugees. I was overwhelmed with the prime need of the time and delivered a successful landmark motion on ‘Arms Trade’ at the Amnesty International 2004 Annual General Meeting. This motion paved way for Amnesty International to engage more than 153 governments to vote at the United Nations on developing the first ever Global Arms Trade Treaty.
  I was propelled into the glare of national news media in 2006, when I scooped one of the highest accolades in Britain – The National Award for Community Services presented by British Home Secretary Rt Hon David Blunkett MP for my work with marginalised communities nationwide.
  In 2008, I made history by walking barefoot for 120 miles, to galvanise support for the African Union to introduce a clause in the African Union Charter for Democracy, Elections and Governance, to prevent African leaders from staying in power for than 10 years.
 My other recognitions include: Community Service for Volunteers Regional Award, presented by The Queen’s High Sheriff for Derbyshire Lord Lieutenant John Bather, and the SMK Award presented by Jon Snow of Channel 4 News.
I served as Chair at the Derby Refugee Forum, and was board member of the Derbyshire Constabulary Independent Advisory Board, working with the police on community engagement and anti-terrorism issues.
   In November 2011, I joined Human Rights and Equality champion Edwin Achu in launching the Cameroon Council for Reunification (Camcore) in the House of Commons (UK Parliament). Camcore aims at promoting One and Indivisible Fatherland and a transparent enlightened society where there is respect for the rule of Law, respect for human life and dignity and above all, an environment where all Cameroonians can achieve their full potential. This is a challenge we have embraced and we are committed to working towards a Cameroon fit for the 21st century.

You were a front line SCNC activist who campaigned very well for the SCNC cause abroad. But today you have abandoned the cause and now fighting against it with all your might. Why did you turn your back against this pressure group you helped lay its solid foundation?
  My work in diverse capacities has enabled me to know and meet personally some of the most senior political figures in Britain. It is as a result of my exposure to these personalities that I was opportune to come to terms with the fact that, the fight for an international identity for English-speaking Cameroonians is a waste of time.
 Cameroon’s reunification story goes to the heart of 'Entente Cordial', a shared strategic position of Anglo-French recognition  that  Cameroon set off as one nation, but was partitioned by the British Secretary for the Colonies, Alfred MILNER and the French Minister for the Colonies and Navy, Henri SIMON in 1916.
Article 76 (b) of The United Nations Charter was the most important element of the Trusteeship Agreement of 13th December 1946 concerning British Cameroons under United Kingdom administration.
  According to this Article, “the basic objectives of the trusteeship system, was to promote the political, economic, social, and educational advancement of the inhabitants of the trust territories and their progressive development towards self determination”
  The United Nations respected its Article 76(b) obligation by organising the plebiscite of 11 February 1961.
By a substantial majority, the people of Southern Cameroons decided to achieve independence by voting to rejoin Republic of Cameroun who was already independent. This decision was made through a democratic process, and was supervised and endorsed by the United Nations.
  ‘Self-determination’ as stated in Article 76 (b) of the United Nations Charter denotes the legal right of a people to decide their destiny without external compulsion. It is a core principle of international law and protected in the United Nations Charter and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights as a right of all peoples.
  The outcome of Self-determination is autonomy. Autonomy - within international law, can either be federation, assimilation, independence or protection. By voting for reunification, the people of Southern Cameroons freely chose the assimilation option of autonomy.
  Assimilation is a socio-political process whereby ethnic minorities are blended into a dominant ethnic grouping whose members identify with each other through a common heritage, often consisting of common languages and cultures.
 Assimilation usually involves a gradual, ongoing process and takes place in stages.
The creation of the Federal Republic of Cameroon was the first stage of the assimilation process in Cameroon. The replacement of the federal state with a unitary state called United Republic of Cameroon and later Republic of Cameroon were the second and third stages of the process respectively.
 At a time when Francophones are increasingly enrolling their children in Anglophone schools – to prepare them for the best future opportunities, SCNC on the contrary is giving our youths false hope and preventing them from National integration processes that will enable them achieve their full potential. This is why camcore is determined to change the situation.

What was your understanding of the SCNC cause and what is it now?
 The Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC) is an Anglophone separatist movement whose ultimate goal is a return to the two-state Federation which existed before May 20, 1972. SCNC was formed during the 1993 Buea, All Anglophone Conference – when over five thousand Anglophone delegates from all over the country gathered to voice out their grievances with regards to the marginalisation of Anglophone Cameroonians
At the time, SCNC was a rallying force for English Speaking Cameroonians. The organisation commanded respect and its leadership was united and had a clear vision.
The present SCNC leadership is elusive and the organisation has lost credibility. Nobody knows, for example, where Mola Njoh Litumbe stands - Liberal Democratic Alliance (LDA) Mola Njoh Civil Society or Patriotic Coalition Front.
Recently, Chief Ayamba Ette Otun and Mr Nfor Ngalla Nfor have been bringing disgrace and shame to the organisation – ‘washing their dirty dresses outside’ and pouring the water on everybody even world leaders.
All their respective cahoots do is take sides. The saddest thing is that anyone who dares speak the truth - that the SCNC is game over is demonised as an agent of the government. The truth is that these individuals are not there for the love of the Anglophone cause.
 Despite the fact that SCNC does not have a single achievement to show, its visionless, divided leadership still continue to give false hopes to the younger generation instead. They should all be judged by what they have built not what they are destroying.

Now, you recently issued a press release, under the banner of CAMCORE, claiming to have uncovered plans by the SCNC aimed at eliminating Anglophone elites serving in the Biya regime. What is Camcore?

 Cameroon Council for Reunification (camcore) is a group of UK based Diaspora Cameroonians open to working with a cross section of Cameroonians and friends of Cameroon, within and out of the country.
 Established in November 2011 following a launch in the House of Commons (UK Parliament), camcore is committed wholeheartedly to play an active role to ensure that our dearly beloved country becomes a place that we can proudly call home.
  50 years after the independence and reunification, tribalism, nepotism, egoism, corruption, unemployment, poverty and deprivation are stifling the social, economic and political development of the country.
  Although responsibility ultimately lies with the commander in chief – the Head of State, we as a people are all accomplices in the impious act and must take responsibility for the current state of our country. The question we should and must ask ourselves is, are we content with the Cameroon of today? If the answer is no, then we must stand up and be counted.
Camcore seeks to call on all Cameroonians of good will to join us in realising “the Cameroon Dream” of a “One and Indivisible Fatherland”, based on transparency, enlightenment, respect for the rule of Law, respect for human life and dignity, and above all, create an environment where all can achieve their full potential.

Can you expose the details of the SCNC diabolic plans here?
 SCNC have joined forces with the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND). MEND is the largest armed militant group in the Nigerian Niger Delta region. Their offensive has killed hundreds and caused thousands to flee their villages.
  SCNC also reached an agreement with Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo – the rebel leader of Niger Delta People's Volunteer Force (NDPVF). Asari is a former Christian who got converted to Moslem. He has strong links with Nigeria’s terrorist group Boko Haram, and is currently assisting SCNC to strike down government infrastructures and sympathizers in the North West and South West regions.
We must not forget that SCNC has been involved with murder and illegal possession and use of fire arms in the past. In March 1997, SCNC members terrorised towns and villages across the North West region killing some gendarme officers and destroying government buildings.

Some people who read your press release published by The Recorder were quick to conclude that, you must have been hired by the Biya Regime-conscious of your high connections and skills, to destroy the SCNC cause, described by Pioneer SCNC chairman Barrister Sam Ekontang Elad,as "Genuine in law and history." What is your reaction to this school of thought?
   The amount of monies mentioned in the Albatross Scandal, is certainly beyond Cameroon banks, and we are the only Cameroon linked organisation that is currently pushing for anti-corruption agencies to launch corruption and money- laundering investigations for senior Cameroonian politicians.
We are confident that through our work the names of many high profile Cameroonian politicians and their assets will be made public. Now, no organization that is being sponsored by the government can take the kinds of steps we are taking to get to the truth about billions of our money in foreign banks.
  Of course many people would doubt us, but time will prove them wrong.  I have a lot of respect for Barrister Sam Ekontang Elad. As chairman of the 1993 All Anglophone Conference, he did a wonderful work. According to him, in an interview with "The Herald" newspaper in 2003, he said that when his leadership team left, "the new leadership had no vision and saw the cause as a source for enriching themselves."  You think about this truism.

Do you have an idea of how much it can cost the Cameroon Government to buy over an ardent SCNC advocate to betray the cause?
  No amount of Money. I mean No amount of money – period

What is your understanding of the so-called Anglophone problem? How can it be resolved?
  The “so called Anglophone problem” relates to grievances arising from linguistic differences caused by European colonialism in Cameroon.
The best way to solve this problem is by doing what the most influential Anglophone politician said. Speaking on France 24 in 2010, the chairman of the Social Democratic Front, Ni John Fru Ndi said “I will want to make sure that we get Cameroon together because in a bigger unit people can develop better”.
It is indeed disingenuous to say that Anglophone Regions are the most underdeveloped in Cameroon, or that the hardships Anglophones are facing is worse than those of the people of the East, Littoral, West, North or South Regions of Cameroon. SCNC secessionists would agree that, compared to villages in the Eastern region, some villages in the North West region can be classed as cities.
The Social Democratic Front’s ability to project itself as a ‘national’ party - evidenced by high percentage of French-speaking supporters, indicates that Ni John Fru Ndi would have been president of Cameroon in 1992, if he had recognised the position of France within the Anglo-French Entente Cordial. 
50 years after our independence and reunification, tribalism, nepotism, egoism, corruption, unemployment, poverty and deprivation are stifling the social, economic and political development of our country. These are the things we need to tackle as a nation not just the so called Anglophone problem.

 What piece of advice do you have for SCNC supporters, now with your new mind set?
   SCNC supporters must start asking serious questions like; what has SCNC achieved since its inception? Can SCNC show even a single country that recognises its position? After about 30 years with uncountable letters to successive British governments, can SCNC show a single reply from Her Majesty’s Government?
We must all remember that President Abraham Lincoln envisaged a United States of America that is greater than the sum of individual State ambitions and bigger than their racial and linguistic differences. Lincoln fought relentlessly against southern secessionists....Today the United States possesses unprecedented and unequalled strength and influence in the world.
We must realise that our diverse heritage is strength, and think beyond HERE and NOW. The solemn task of keeping our nation united, peaceful and Prosperous is not the responsibility of one section of our society alone, but a lengthy community consultation task that requires a degree of prolonged and sustained effort from Cameroonians of all ages - at local, national and international levels.

You are resident in the United Kingdom (UK), how do you contribute to development back home (Cameroon)?
    Camcore is currently developing and establishing a robust network within Cameroon, in preparation for a big camcore launch. Date and place will be announced shortly.
  The problems of Cameroon are well documented and have enjoyed massive publicity. These problems are attributed to a degree of bad governance and autocracy. Bad governance ,entrenched corruption and inequality. It abuses human rights and constitutions and systematically excludes and marginalizes citizens from institutions of political governance and key economic assets.
I strongly believe that without good governance, and unless we beat corruption, we will never defeat poverty in Cameroon.
  Despite the African Union Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance, more than 90% of African Leaders continue to perpetuate themselves in office – winning every election.
  The credibility of most African electoral systems is in question and the results of many elections are not a fair representation of the will of the African People.
  We are campaigning alongside international partners to ensure that the African Union introduce a clause in the African Union Charter for Democracy, Elections and Governance, to prevent African leaders from staying in power for than 10 years, and for a mandatory introduction of Independent Electoral Commissions, which should be tied up to international aid programmes. 
  We are supporting the work of the National Anti-Corruption Commission, (CONAC), by leasing with International anti-corruption agencies and civil societies to launch corruption and money- laundering investigations for senior Cameroonian politicians and also identifying western banks that are warehousing our money so as to get to the truth about billions of our money in foreign banks.
  We intend to uphold Article 66 of the constitution, which requires that all those overseeing public funds declare their possessions.
 Secession has killed millions of people, and caused some of the worst atrocities in history.     We view ‘secession’ as a public health problem which is not different from the harm of tuberculosis, malaria, or HIV & AIDS. We believe that if millions of people are dying of a particular disease, we must have a moral responsibility to invest in prevention. If the process or the pattern which leads to secession is identifiable, then it has to be preventable.
  Our nation cannot endure, permanently the whirlwinds of secession which has kept us grounded for decades. As long as our nation’s contentious historical dynamics permeates every political question and keep us divided, we will not be able to tackle tribalism, nepotism, egoism, corruption, unemployment, poverty and deprivation which are currently stifling the social, economic and political development of our country. This is a challenge that camcore has embraced and is committed to working for a Cameroon fit for the 21st century.
