African Union (AU) Has Sent A Message To Southern Cameroonians And President Biya's Government

After UN, United Kingdom, USA, the Bishops, REDHAC and many other human right organisation, the African Union, through her Chairperson, H.E Moussa Faki Mahamat, has sent a strong four-paragraphed word to the regime of president Paul Biya.

In the first paragraph, the Chair expresses his deep concern to the deterioriating security situation in the two english-speaking regions. Exceptionally from all other organizations and different from Biya, who prefers to send condolence messages to citizens of other nations while ignoring those he has at least illegally and advantageously cohabited with for the past 56 years, he sent a condolence message to all the affected families in the Southern Cameroons, calling on the regime to restrain from all forms of violence. "The Chairperson expresses condolences to all affected persons and families and calls on all stakeholders to exercise restraint in their pronouncements and to refrain from further acts of violence".

In the last paragraph of the AU's letter, the Chairperson of the Commission reaffirms their commitment to promote peace and stability in Cameroon, in line with its relevant instruments that consecrates the principle of the intangibility of African Borders as they existed at Independence and other relevant AU instruments.

The Southern Cameroons Resistance will like to reiterate that immediately after decolonization, the new African states agreed to a policy of inviolable borders, meaning they would not try to redraw Africa's political map as that would lead to chaos. With the lack of a Treaty of Union between the two Cameroons at the Secretariat of the United Nations, we hope the Republic of Cameroon will not want to create chaos by redrawing her map, an act which directly affect her neighbor.
