SCNC vows to crash intruders at Ayamba’s funeral

Chief Ayamba Ette Otun, National Chairman of the Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC) will be buried in Mamfe, Saturday, July 26. A communiqué from the SCNC indicates that Chief Ayamba will be given a ‘state burial’ in the colours of the Southern Cameroons.

Prior to his burial this Saturday, a week of national mourning is being observed from Monday July 21 – 27, 2014 throughout the national territory of British Southern Cameroons and for all SCNC Diaspora chapters and patriots. “Within this period the British Southern Cameroons flag shall fly at half-mast both at home and abroad. Even the occupier of our land is called upon to give peace a chance in honour of the grand old man and leader as he joins his ancestors and other patriots gone before after having done his utmost,” a communiqué from the SCNC secretariat reads in part.

The communiqué calls on all Southern Cameroonians within and outside the ‘territory’ to massively attend the funeral in Mamfe. SCNC officials hint that several diplomatic and heads of international organizations are expected to attend the ground breaking ‘state burial’. Sources in Mamfe say security is tight to the teeth. SCNC activists have, in a swift response, called on their ‘citizens’ to be prepared to wade off the troops in case of any assault or attempt to disrupt the state burial. Chief Ayamba Ette Otun as the National Chairman was the lead representative of the SCNC in Banjul in the case – Communication 266/2003 – against annexationist la Republique du Cameroun.

SCNC officials say “we are painfully horrified by the fact that the people’s enemy bought some among us who behind our backs held talks with Vice Prime Minister Ahmadou Ali and were ferried several times to Banjul to withdraw the case against la Republique du Cameroun for annexing and colonially occupying our land and making us slaves.”

They go on to warn that “Mamfe is declared no-go-zone within the week of national mourning culminating with the state burial for the traitors, their collaborators and anyone who participated in the discussions that sent the trio – Isaac Oben, Theodore Leke and Mr. Tita – to Yaoundé for the Satanic dialogue…these fortune seekers and opportunists should know that the SCNChas never been rudderless, it is not for sale, it has enough room for faithful loyal patriots and not greedy fortune seekers. The SCNC belongs to British Southern Cameroonians and not a bunch of greedy-mindless clique”.

It is apparently in recognition of the brave and steadfast commitment of the deceased SCNC chairman that officials of the movement have resolved to make his funeral an unforgettable event, which they say will not only engrave his legacy in the hearts of Southern Cameroonians, but will mark a turning point where all differences within the movement will be buried alongside Chief Ayamba.
