Former British Southern Cameroons:

There is no longer …

1. Since 1972 the Southern Cameroons no longer has self-rule.

2. There is no longer a government in Buea for the governance of the Southern

Cameroons.

3. There is no longer Parliament (House of Assembly and House of Chiefs) in Buea

to make laws for the peace order and good government of the Southern

Cameroons.

4. There is no longer a Southern Cameroons-based judiciary to administer justice

according to the common law inherited system of the Southern Cameroons and

to ensure respect for the rule of law.

5. There is no longer a Southern Cameroons-based public service commission and

system of administration.

6. There is no longer a Southern Cameroons-based constabulary* to enforce and

maintain law and order according to our inherited value systems and human

rights culture.

7. There is no longer a Southern Cameroons-based educational system grounded

in good and sound education and upbringing of our children anchored in the

value of our Christian faith and the wider context of the English-speaking world of

which we are an integral part.

8. There is no longer a Southern Cameroons-based medical system anchored in

effective medical service for all (including the poor and vulnerable) staffed by

devoted, professional and disciplined uniformed nurses, doctors, pharmacists

and ward servants.

9. Our living habitat was surveyed, planned and zoned: town center, markets and a

park next to each, GRC, Clerks Quarters, Nurses Quarters, housing for doctors

and pharmacists, police barracks, warders’ barracks and so on. All that is gone!

Destroyed!
