Dear Mola Njoh Litumbe,
In Transition To The Great Beyond,
Sent in by Nfor Ngalla Nfor, SCNC Chairman
Sir,
Mola Njoh Litumbe has transited. He is on a Historic Mission of Destiny for the Dignity of his people and sovereignty of his nation. He is not dead.
Mola, believing fervently that those who live in total fulfillment of their God ordained mission on earth never die, for true life is in deeds not days, l have thought it a national duty to remind you of the central message you should take to those who went before you. We highly appreciate your exemplary fatherly devotion to right the wrongs of 1961, but your departure on this long journey at a very critical point in the life of the struggle, demands that you should not go empty handed. Your Mission should not only be coded in our hearts, it should be documented for posterity and humanity in general. It is in this light that, as a patriot who worked so closely with you, l have been charged to articulate these points for the collective attention of our Fathers and other patriots you are going to meet.
As one who lived the colonial manipulations of 1960/61 which led to division on the matter of national destiny and sovereign independence in conformity with the UN Charter and legitimate will of the people, you are transiting at a time when the same cancer, internal as it is, is eating the foundation of national solidarity against annexationist vampire, la Republique du Cameroun. This division from within is costing us far more than was the division of 1961 which was limited in words, nothing diabolic, no blood shed, no arson, etc.
For more than one and half years, from this dungeon, PPY, l have restlessly disturbed the peace of some elder statesmen to, in rock unity with you get into urgent need of positive action for our collective survival in dignity. I was driven into this by the Wimbum received wisdom that the elders were absent in the Village square and the young were judged by foreigners, found guilty, punished and ancestral shrine put to the torch. Burdened by the fear of the unknown, l addressed a clarion call to you the elder statesmen to rise up to the challenge of history and put order in the house, and save the boat from seeking with us all. Such a calamity will be to the joy and celebration of Emperor Biya. In spite of frantic efforts made by those with open outreach you were never gotten hold of due to your health situation till we got word of your Transition.
Not one who ever gives up, surrenders, or retreats on a people- centred right, ideal, l, on behalf of the living and posterity address to you this Call of history for positive action especially when you meet the pro action likes of Mukong, Jua, Stephen Ndi, Endeley, among others.
For a recapitulation, it is important we recall that, the Administering Authority, UK, through international colonial conspiracy imposed the Two Alternatives, which grossly violated the UN Charter, the Trusteeship Agreement, UNGA Resolutions, and sovereign will of the people. For this reason P.M. Kale and his party rejected the imposed Two Alternatives and opposed the holding of the plebiscite in a self- governing UNTrust Territory whose right to independence was eloquently enshrined in the Charter. Chief Stephen Nyenti and his young party, equally opposed the plebiscite and vowed that never shall a foreign flag be hoisted on Southern Cameroon's soil. Foncha's plea at the UN that Southern Cameroons independence be granted and issue of forming a federation be left for negotiation by the future governments was simply ignored.
As the Two Alternatives were unacceptable to the majority even the leading political leaders, J.N. Foncha of the KNDP, and Dr. E.M. L. Endeley of the CPNC, were caught in a web. With this stalemate it became necessary for the leaders in November 1960 to fly to London to plead with HM Government to cancel the plebiscite completely and grant independence to the Southern Cameroons in conformity with the the UN Charter. This was less than three months to the Feb. 11, 1961 UN Plebiscite Day. Unfortunately, while in London, there was no unity of purpose, all the high hopes of going to the UN and having the controversial plebiscite cancelled were dashed. The leaders returned and hastily embarked on campaigns without full understanding of the implications of "independence by joining".
The lack of national solidarity in 1961 and after, which should have united all for a common cause against vicious la Republique du Cameroun, Ahmadou Ahidjou enjoying and exercising absolute power exploited the internal division and annexed Southern Cameroons on the night of September 30, 1961. Southern Cameroonians woke up on their Independence Day 1st Oct. 1961 and were confronted by aggressive gun totting gendarmes, indeed àn army of occupation, speaking a foreign language, controlling and checking them even on their door steps. This was a traumatising experience to a people who, hitherto lived in freedom according the law of nature.
Mola, you will remember when on one occasion in your house in my defence of botched decolonisation and how international colonial conspiracy was used to facilitate annexation by la Republique du Cameroun, l asked you, " Who was the Representative of the UN Secretary General in Buea on 1st October, 1961 as was the case in Yaoundé on 1st January, 1960? The question stung you like a bee and you confessed that there was none and that you had never thought of that. Indisputably, the non-implementation of UNGA Resolution 1608 of April 21, 1961 to form the Federal United Cameroon Republic made up of two states Equal in Status clearly proves that no federal union was formed. What took place night of Sept. 30, 1961 with the silent complicity of UK and UN was annexation. As UNGA land mark Resolution 1608 of April 21, 1961 was not implemented, Art. 102(1) of the UN Charter was then ignored with impunity. The UN by Resolution 2625 of 1970 has declared annexation a crime against humanity and threat to world peace.
Dr. Endeley's predictions have not only come true, our beloved country is now in the fourth year of a genocidal war with scorched earth terrorist policies and tactics. With this neither babies as young as two months old and pregnant women are spared the deadly terrorist bullets. Whole villages and houses with occupants and health facilities are put to the torch by lRC terrorists.
Mola, you are on a historic mission. The ancestors most be brought into full knowledge by no one else but you who lived the practical reality of Fon Achirimbi's French Cameroun is "FIRE!"
Your ordained mission is to rescue the Southern Cameroonians from annihilation and the Southern Cameroons nation from being buried underground as was ancient Carthage. You must as a matter of urgency on arrival raise the clarion call and assemble all the Southern Cameroons fathers, namely, Endeley, Foncha, Chief Nyenti, Kale, Fon Achirimbi, Jua, Ndze, Epie, Mukong, Ndi, Luma, Ebong, among others and with them build rock- based revolutionary united front. With this, as you join in the fight against the occupier, visit the two IGs and two presidents of Ambazonia who by their high ground standing are delaying fulfillment. When we met in ABU Zaria, in late 2017, which unfortunately due to circumstances beyond your control you and Fon Gorji Dinka couldn't attend, SCACUF Governing Council was transformed into an Interim Government to expedite liberation and effective Restoration of the Sovereign Statehood of Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia). In effect, one, and only one Interim Government(IG) was formed. But for one year now running Ambazonia and Ambazonians are saddled with two rival (lGs) and two presidents. This is not only a terrible precedence, it is prolonging la Republique du Cameroun annexation and occupation and the slaughter of our people like diseased cows by its terrorist forces, not to talk of increasing IDPs and refugees and thousands languishing as captives of war in lRC notoriously squalid torture centres. By no means can the two rival IGs flush out lRC, win international support, lead us to Buea, and gain Ambazonia seat at the UN and in other international fora. The lack of unity is delaying UN intervention which is indispensable.
With revolutionary united front from the great beyond the ring leaders and their surrogates should have no sleep, until they submit to the will of the people and do what is right, namely, unite, work, act and speak as one in the supreme interest of the people.
Mola, to any doubting Thomas of why no one else but you is fitter for this historic Mission, let it be made clear that as a crusader for national sovereignty, you were involved in many similar missions for the Restoration of the Statehood of Southern Cameroons. Beginning with the famous SCNC Nine Man Delegation to the UN in 1995, strongly committed to building a broad based united front for the purpose of putting the struggle on the fast track, we travelled to Norway in April 2011 and to the USA in June same year to build a united front between the SCNC, SCYL, SCAPO and the Civil Society plus many other missions you carried out single handedly for the freedom of your people and nation. In late 2016 your Bokwango Residence was host to a meeting at which we tried to bring in the Consortium, though their leader, Bar. Agbo Balla Nkongho declined signing the Buea 11 Declaration, on grounds that they had their own plan. Among Southern Cameroons leaders for de-annexation and National Restoration, you hold the highest record for having visited the UN in the interest of your people and nation.
These, among others, stand in testimony of your remarkable contribution, sacrifices and outstanding commitment to the liberation and Restoration of the sovereign statehood of Southern Cameroons as voted for by the UN declaring 1st October 1961, Southern Cameroons Independence Day.
While our RF, the true heroes and heroins of the struggle are doing a great job, they are sometimes thrown into terrible confusion and conflict as well as become the unfortunate victims of this divisiveness and divisionism. Mola before anything else, pray our illustrious Father, Fon Achirimbi to, on behalf of all the true Natural Rulers pour libations and bless the RF, the true heroes and heroins of our National Restoration and legitimate quest forbsoveregnty anchored on both divine and international law.
Mola, with effective single minded political leadership attained, supported and blessed from the great beyond, the RF will achieve resounding victories. The political thermometer which should become too costly for Biya is in the territory. Unity of purpose within the political leadership is the game changer. Mola, no one else but you is fit for this Mission of Destiny.
Save Transition as you fulfill your Mission to your people and humanity in general.
