Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Anglophone “Liberation” in Cameroon: Only Pathological Cowards Exploit Children as Weapons

Ken, 

Upon reflection, you are quite right.Yes, they made the choice to join Cameroon because at that time most of the people were not so much enlightened unlike today. 

The people did not know the power of language. Humans tend to have  closer relationship with the people they speak the same language. There is no way, in my view, the French speaking Cameroonians will not relate much better with their own than the English speaking Cameroonians. 

But nothing stops the English speaking Cameroonians from having a rethink of their union with the Cameroon and reverse it. 

That is if they really want to have peace and development.

Oh, segun. You sure want to open this one up!! Originally, as in when they voted to split up, one province going to nigeria and the other two to cameroon—which they voluntarily joined?

Or after the wars over the oil fields on the coast?

Or,… hmmm, let's leave it to Cameroonians to answer that "originally."

Must they remain in Cameroon? Can't they come back and join Nigeria where they originally belonged?
