Ambazonia Full-Fledge Government Formed; SCACUF Dissolved And Governing Council Transformed To A Par

Breaking News: The Conclave has risen with a final resolution dissolving the Southern Cameroons Ambazonia United Front SCACUF, and empowering former Chairman of SCACUF Governing Council, Julius AyukTabe to become first President of the Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia) Interim Government.

The President shall appoint his cabinet ministers called Secretaries, modelled after the United States system.

The ministries (secretaries) shall be limited to the following 7, instead of 13 for the 13 Counties; Foreign Affairs, Defense, Finance and Economy, Home Affairs, Communications, Education and Social Services.

Sisiku AyukTabe is said to have told the conclave delegates; "...There are 13 counties but you are asking me to limit my cabinet members to seven (7). My proposal shall take into consideration the geographic, gender, generational gaps as well as competence. Therefore, I will need a little bit more time to scout through to appoint the finest for the consideration of the Restoration Council..." The conclave empowered President AyukTabe to form an Interim Gov’t comprising of a Vice President, Restoration Parliament, (Council), and an Ethics Commission. The Gov’t, fashioned after a presidential system like in the USA system, shall consist of seven Departments whose heads shall be called Secretaries (listed above). 

In the 29-point resolution ending the conclave, members among other things warn the Republic of Cameroun to withdraw its troops from the Southern Cameroons so that refugees can safely return to their homes.

They emphasized that unless the troops are completely withdrawn and the security of school kids ensured by such a withdrawal, there will be no school resumption.

It further states that Ghost Towns must continue every Monday and whenever circumstances dictate. 

The resolutions also call for the immediate and unconditional release of Mancho Bibixy and all other held prisoners in prisons and detention centers across Cameroon The resolutions equally call upon Southern Cameroonians to step up resistance against any orders from the colonial LRC administration such as resisting any form of taxation and levies.

It appeals to traditional authorities in all of Southern Cameroons to henceforth act in the place of a constituted government in rendering and supervising local administration, away from LRC colonial administrators. Among other things, the conclave terminated SCAPAC’s relationship with the new government suggesting that accusations of financial impropriety involving the former Secretary General and SCAPAC were unfounded, following their own investigations.

Milan Atam’s alleged resignation was revoked, making him a potential member of the yet to be announced new gov’t.

The Southern Cameroons Broadcasting Corporation SCBC TV, hitherto sponsored partly through SCAPAC, will henceforth operate independently from the new government. The Conclave and the Interim Gov’t come exactly a month in the wake of the declaration of the restoration of the independence of the former British Southern Cameroons on October 1st this year.
