General News of Saturday, 10 September 2016Source: alafnet.comReleased SCNC activists petition BiyaPresident Paul BiyaA coalition of Southern Cameroons activists dubbed Ambazonian Governing Council has petitioned President Biya “to grant them immediate independence, release all imprisoned activists with immediate effect and stop tormenting Ambazonians.”The Ambazonians wrote to President Biya following a session at the Buea Magistrate Court on September 5, after which the activists from different walks of life held an enlarged meeting with 15 of their accused colleagues. In the letter titled “The Ambazonian People’s Quest For Freedom” and signed by the leader of the Ambazonian Governing Council, Dr. Lucas Ayaba Cho, the activists vent out their grievances and demand for Southern Cameroons to be granted its independence from “La République du Cameroun”. Thirdly, respect the provisions of the Green Tree Accord and that Biya should acknowledge that the occupation of Ambazonia was and still remains an act of aggression against a people. The fact that La République du Cameroun, during this event, vigorously campaigned to block it and upon failing to do so walked out, was quite telling of an illicit Agenda to annex the Ambazonia former British Southern Cameroons. Today’s realities have proven the illegal occupation of The Ambazonia by your country La République du Cameroun,” says the letter.
