Yesterday, al-Jazeera's Inside Story was about Cameroon . Someone suggested that they take their case to the African Union for arbitration. The problem is that the AU could tend to support the status quo and not want to encourage a series of petitions from would be secessionists forever complaining about pre-fixed colonial boundaries enveloping them without due consultation and against their will...

Dear Cameroonians at home:
It is the solemn duty for any government to defend its territorial sovereignty and all residents therein. The sovereignty of Cameroon, as one nation, is not in dispute in any legitimate body in the international community. Therefore, Cameroon's territorial integrity is not a subject of negotiation by any inelastic imagination.
While it is the inherent right for citizens to petition government for the redress of grievances and protest peacefully, threat to the viability of the nation is not a civic allowance anywhere in the world. Physical violence or psychological intimidation, by individuals and groups, to extract political concessions is terrorism.
Cameroon is no exception in recognizing this threat. The government of Cameroon must do its duty, to all extents, to protect its citizens and other law abiding nationals who choose Cameroon as a place to live, work or invest. It is not an open question; it is an imperative.
Please follow the instructions issued by authorities. Summarily, stay indoors, respect the curfew until Monday Oct. 2 or how you are further instructed by government authorities.
Do not commit any violent act or challenge law enforcement officers. Even in the greatest democracies, confronting law enforcement or failing to obey instruction makes one a clear, eminent, or present danger. You would be risking your own life and those with you.
To disagree is no vice. It requires a toxic level of antisocial personality disorder and primitiveness for people to reason that not supporting their violent methods makes one unconscious of civil liberties.
The utopian thrill to goad the gullible into senseless and dire risk is upped by the shrill noises of violent residents in the Diaspora and amplified by the sects that organize parties in various places in the Diaspora to celebrate the "independence" of Ambazonia/Southern Cameroons. They count on your blood to spill - the more it flows, the merrier as some will be getting drunk into the wee hours. They bank on you loosing your life so that they can claim genocide. The victims become mere statistics to use.
To obtain the statistics, they hope for heavier casualties to inspire more fund-raising and audience. In the Machiavellian equation, peaceful ideas incur their wrath, whereupon they go bunkers and vile like Sisiku the President of the country hoped for come Oct 1. When the country does not materialize, some dizzily hopefuls would awaken to snap reality. This is the dread of the anarchists when their grip is loosened as more Cameroonians understand that violence is leading them nowhere toward solution as they fester in misery of their own making.
Nobody with a sense of valor frightens babies from going to school. O folks cowardly made, where is thy courage?
Dear Cameroonians at home, people asking you to sacrifice your life, burn schools, and destroy other people's properties have not contested and won any mainstream election even as a DOG CATCHER where they live in the Diaspora. It is unclear if they have ever authored any policy that led to a law or executive action where they live in democracies. If they do, they will understand that no dialogue can include anyone or group that has engaged in threats that fuel terrorism. Even worse, in the safety of distance, they work, send their children and relatives to school but demand that you should not - yet they are in no position to help you achieve anything.
The pathological manipulations exceed the case of the blind leading the blind. Urging violence at home while living abroad is the vicious exploiting the foolish. Do not be a victim. Respect the law. Be safe.
God bless,MsJoe
