Dear Sirs,
Subject: Genocide and Crimes against Humanity in French Cameroun
In 1994 a warning of impending genocide was faxed by the Commander of the UN Peacekeeping force in Rwanda to Mr. Koffi
Anan, the Deputy Secretary General of the UN in charge of Peace Keeping. But the advice was ignored and the result was
genocide of biblical scale. We are also fully aware of the fact that the problem in Darfour was made more complicated because
Mr. Kofi Annan, the UN Secretary General, failed to accept the US position that what was happening there was genocide. The
delay in taking action has finally created genocide by default.
Today, we have decided to learn from these mistakes by sending not a fax message but a carefully researched comprehensive
complaint file (prepared by ourselves) to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, to the UN Secretary General and to
the international community at large, calling for the indictment of some political and military leaders of French Cameroun for
genocide and other crimes against humanity which we know they have already committed but have carefully concealed. We
also believe that they have been emboldened by impunity and are already planning to commit more crimes.
Please do not make the same mistake you did in 1994 in handling Rwanda or repeat the same mistake the UN made in
handling Darfour!

Genocam Press Release Summary
Southern Cameroons Peoples Organisation
(SCAPO)
Press Release Summary
SCAPO Files an Official Complaint to the Prosecutor of the International
Criminal Court (ICC) against President Paul Biya and Other Political and
Military Leaders of French Cameroun for Genocide and other Crimes
Against Humanity.
Genocide against the Bamileke People
The Southern Cameroons Peoples Organization (SCAPO) has filed an official

complaint to the Prosecutor of the ICC calling for the indictment of President Paul
Biya of French Cameroun and other political and military leaders of that country
for the crimes of genocide committed against the Bamileke people from 1962-
1970 and other subsequent crimes against humanity. It is believed that the total
number of Bamileke people killed between 1962-1970 could be up to 1,000,000.
However, the crime has been carefully concealed because it directly involved very
senior political figures in the French government. This implies that the genocide
against the Bamileke people was the first recorded (but not reported) genocide
on the African continent and may have taken place on a far larger scale than the
Rwandan genocide which happened a few decades later.
The complaint was supported by a 278-page document which shows that the
crimes of genocide were committed with full participation of the political and
military leaders of France and French Cameroun. SCAPO has decided to release
the entire 278 page document to the general public so that they can fully
appreciate the criminal nature of the regime that has been in power in French
Cameroun for 50 years.

The above listed army officers on the French Cameroun side were already
commissioned officers at the time of the genocide against the Bamileke people.
They all participated in the genocide and have perfect knowledge of the location
of the mass graves where the headless victims were buried. All of them owe their
promotions in the armed forces to the role that they played in the killing of their
own fellow citizens.
The direct role of France in Genocide
In spite of the direct role that was played by France in the genocide against the
Bamileke people, SCAPO has decided not to call for the indictment of any
political or military official from France. The reason is because it is French
citizens who participated in the genocide that finally came forward to reveal the
secret to the world through their book publications. If they had not had the
moral courage to take this step, the Cameroun genocide would have remained
hidden forever. SCAPO salutes them. SCAPO also believes that it should be left
to French citizens themselves to decide what to do with their own leaders.

SCAPO also wants to take the opportunity to appeal to President Nicolas Sarkozy
to follow the footsteps of his country men soldiers who decided for reasons of
conscience to break the silence in order to tell the truth about crimes which were
committed by the leaders of their country in the jungles or Equatorial Africa.
This was not a conventional war like in Dien Bien Phu. This was genocide pure
and simple. We ask President Sarkozy to do everything possible to ensure that a
special criminal tribunal shall be created so that those criminals who are still in
power in French Cameroun should be tried. This is the only way for France to
make a clean break with its Gaullist past and to take its rightful place of honor
among the great nations of the world. For us that should be enough.
The genocide in French Cameroun started with the mass slaughter of the Bassa
people during an insurgency war which started around 1955 in order to crush
the UPC movement which was led by Ruben Um Nyobe. By the time that French
Cameroun was granted independence by France January 1, 1960, the UPC
movement had practically been crushed leaving at least 200,000 people dead in
Bassaland with Rueben Um Nyobe and Felix Rolland Moumié having been
killed in 1958 and 1960 respectively.
Why the Bamileke were targeted
However, the unusual aspect of the genocide against the Bamileke was its
intensity and its barbaric cruelty as well as the fact that it took place after the
unification between the British Southern Cameroons and French Cameroun on
October 1, 1961. Its intensity and barbaric cruelty was explained by the fact that
it was done by a mechanized armored division of the French army which was
sent into French Cameroun on the orders of President Charles de Gaulle as part
of a military cooperation agreement which was signed by President Ahidjo and
Charles de Gaulle after French Cameroun became independent. This
mechanized division was commanded by General Max “The Viking” Briand, a
veteran of the French Indochina war and Colonel Jean Marie Lamberton who was
the military strategist of the genocide.
SCAPO research has made it possible to establish with certainty that the mission
of this mechanized division of the French army which was supported by aircraft
was clearly ethnic extermination because there is absolutely no evidence to show
that the Bamileke villagers, with no outlet to the sea, had access to any source of
modern weapons. All the intelligence reports indicated that the rebels
(maquisards) who were fighting in the bushes were armed with machetes and
pangas and occasionally with automatic pistols. On the other hand the army of
General Max Briand rained napalm on Bamileke villages razing everything to the
ground and killing everybody in sight.
SCAPO research has made it possible to establish that the reason why the
genocide against the Bamileke people took place after unification between British
Southern Cameroons and French Cameroun was because President de Gaulle
and President Ahidjo were both strongly opposed to this merger. Their opposition
stemmed from the fear that if British Southern Cameroons came into union with
French Cameroun, this will reinforce the demographic power of the Bamileke who
were opposed to the government of President Ahidjo. The Bamileke and the
Bassa were the main supporters of the UPC movement. The French government

believed that the Bamileke and the people of the British Southern Cameroons
were essentially of the same ethnic stock but with different colonial experiences.
Hence they could not accept an unsolicited merger with Southern Cameroons
which will numerically strengthen the Bamileke rebels. It is for this reason that
France and all the other French-speaking countries of West and Central Africa
(including French Cameroun itself) all voted against UN General Assembly
resolution 1608(XV) on unification between French Cameroun and British
Southern Cameroons on April 21, 1961.
Link between Unification and Genocide against the Bamileke
When the resolution was adopted by the UN General Assembly, in spite of the
opposition of France and French Cameroun, President Ahidjo reluctantly went to
the Foumban Conference of July 1961 where negotiations on unification were
supposed to take place. At the Foumban Conference no union agreement was
produced and consequently, no document was presented either to the National
Assembly of French Cameroun or to the Southern Cameroons House of Assembly
for ratification on the union between French Cameroun and British Southern
Cameroons. However, President Ahidjo unilaterally proclaimed into being the
Federal Republic of Cameroon and the two sides simply celebrated unification on
October 1, 1961; but President Ahidjo had another secret plan for the Bamileke:
ethnic extermination.
The research done by SCAPO has enabled us to understand that the unification
which was celebrated on October 1, 1961 was perceived by the leaders in France
and Cameroun as a victory for the UPC and a crushing defeat for French policy in
Cameroun. It was with gnashing teeth that President Ahidjo celebrated the 1st
October 1961. But this was a victory for which the Bamileke were going to pay
dearly.
President Charles de Gaulle and Ahmadou Ahidjo chose the ethnic extermination
of the Bamileke people as the only solution that will guarantee that the
admission of the British Southern Cameroons into the political space of French
Cameroun would not lead to an Anglo-Bami alliance which will eventually use its
demographic majority to destabilize the political power base of President Ahidjo
who was a Moslem Northerner. President Ahidjo had preferred unification with
Northern Cameroons and was disappointed that Northern Cameroons voted to
remain in Nigeria.
The implication of the link between unification and the genocide against the
Bamileke people is that they effectively became the vicarious victims of France’s
opposition to unification between French Cameroun and British Southern
Cameroons. This means that by denying the Southern Cameroons the option of
full independence in 1961 and imposing unification with French Cameroun in
spite of the open opposition of France and French Cameroun itself, the United
Kingdom and the United Nations must accept partial responsibility for the
genocide against the Bamileke people. This also implies that if the British
Southern Cameroons had been granted full independence in 1961 by the United
Kingdom, there would never have been the need for the campaign for the ethnic
extermination of the Bamileke by Charles de Gaulle and Ahmadou Ahidjo.

The research conducted by SCAPO showed that nearly all the Bamileke who were
victims of the genocide are not aware of the link between the genocide and
unification. According to most Bamileke people, the French were simply
motivated by pure hatred. This thesis is unfortunately too simplistic.
1st October Versus 20th May
It is worth noting that after the capture and execution of Ernest Ouandié in
1970, which brought the rebellion to an end, the Ahidjo government decided to
move to the second phase of its power consolidation by organizing the
referendum of 1972, following which the unitary state was proclaimed on 20th
May 1972. For President Ahidjo, 20th May represented the crowning day of his
revenge and victory over the UPC movement and the Anglo-Bami group. He had
finally succeeded in crushing the UPC movement and the Anglo-Bami group was
in his pocket. From that date, Ahidjo was the unchallenged and the
unchallengeable master of the whole Cameroun. It is for this reason that 20th
May replaced 1st October as the National day.
Witnesses and survivors ready to give evidence
SCAPO research has established that there are thousands of Bamileke people
who survived the genocide and have perfect knowledge of the location of the mass
graves where headless victims were buried in their thousands. This is because
the soldiers who went into the bush to hunt for maquisards always came back
into the towns with the heads of their victims as trophies. These Bamileke people
can serve as witnesses only if they are sure that the government in Yaoundé and
the Camerounian military hierarchy is completely cleansed and the country gets
rid of all genocidal elements in the regime.
The Role of Paul Biya in the ethnic extermination of the Bamileke
SCAPO research has established that President Paul Biya played a very central
role in the genocide campaign against the Bamileke because following his return
from France in 1962 he was immediately named Chargé de Mission (Minister of
Special Duties) in the Presidency of Ahmadou Ahidjo at the age of 28. It is
largely on account of his role in handling the genocide dossier that he was
rewarded after six years with the promotion to the post of Secretary General in
the Presidency of Ahidjo at the age of 34 in 1968. He subsequently became
Prime Minister in 1975 and finally succeeded President Ahidjo in 1982. His
remarkable rise to power from Chargé de Mission to President of the Republic in
20 years at the age of 48 was largely a reward for the role he played in the ethnic
extermination of the Bamileke. With President De Gaulle and Ahidjo dead,
President Paul Biya and his generals are the custodians of the secrets of
genocide, the inheritors of power acquired through genocide and the main
beneficiaries of impunity.
After 26 years of being President of the Republic of Cameroun and 46 years of

being at the center of power, Mr. Biya was planning to amend the constitution in
order to present himself for another 7 year term in 2011. The present crisis in
the country was a direct result of the people’s rejection of his ambition for a life
Presidency.

Other Crimes Committed by Paul Biya
SCAPO finally decided to file an official complaint with the prosecutor of the ICC
because research has made it possible to establish that Mr. Biya has committed
other crimes against humanity since coming to power in 1982, notably:
The massacre of Northerners in 1984, following the failed coup attempt by

loyalists of President Ahmadou his predecessor. Mass graves related to the
Maguida massacre are located in Mbalmayo, some 150 km south of
Yaoundé;
The death of 2000 villagers in Lake Nyos in 1986, following the testing of a
weapon of mass destruction by an unnamed foreign power, based on the
authorization of President Paul Biya. When this event took place, an intensive
spin doctoring campaign was launched in the international media in order to
make the world believe that the Lake Nyos victims died from inhaling toxic
gases which emanated from the bottom of Lake Nyos. Our interest is not in
knowing the identity of the foreign power that conducted the test. Our
interest is in the fact the President Paul Biya gave the authorization for the
test to be conducted in an area which was populated by innocent people and
that he was paid financial compensation for giving the approval;
The selective transfer of soldiers and gendarmes who are HIV+ to army camps
in the British Southern Cameroons; this information was revealed to John
Fru Ndi by Ahmadou Ali when he was the Minister of Armed Forces. This is
clearly a sinister design to make sure the people of the targeted region are
infected with the HIV/AIDS virus through sexual contact with promiscuous
soldiers posted in the region. The long-term goal is clearly ethnic
extermination.
State sponsored terrorism against the people of the British Southern
Cameroons. Such state-sponsored terror has included the arbitrary arrests,
detention, torture, and extra-judicial killings. All of this has been carefully
documented including pictures. To the extent that this was done in a
systematic way over a number of years and targeted at the citizens of the
British Southern Cameroons, this constitutes a crime against humanity.
These are additional crimes against humanity which President Paul Biya and
senior military officers have committed as a result of the impunity which they
have enjoyed from the genocide against the Bamileke. The SCAPO research has
also enabled us to discover that Mr. Biya has committed other very serious
crimes, but which fall under the jurisdiction of Camerounian law. These serious
crimes should normally have been followed up in the law courts by the state
prosecutors if French Cameroun had been a country which respects the rule of
law.
In filing the complaint to the Prosecutor of the ICC, SCAPO is fully aware of the
fact that French Cameroun is one of the few African countries which have so far
refused to ratify the Rome Treaty establishing the International Criminal Court.
There is no doubt that the refusal of the Cameroun government to ratify the
treaty is because the criminal regime is aware of their culpability for crimes
which fall within the jurisdiction of the ICC. SCAPO believes that it shall be the

duty of the United Nations to make sure that everything is done in order to
ensure that the horrific crimes that have been committed in French Cameroun do
not go unpunished.
Why SCAPO decided to act
SCAPO decided to take the genocide and crimes against humanity to the world
community because there were clear indications that the people of the British
Southern Cameroons are the next target of the Biya regime because of their
desire to be separated from French Cameroun to become an independent
country. SCAPO realized that it needed a sovereign platform in order to go public
with this incredible story about French Cameroun. That is the reason why
SCAPO proclaimed the independence of the Republic of Ambazania on August 16,
2006.
SCAPO wants to make it clear that the genocide against the Bamileke people and
the state policy of concealment as well as the participation of the ordinary
citizens of French Cameroun in this policy of denial has made the people of the
British Southern Cameroons and French Cameroun two people who are
fundamentally incompatible and can no longer share the same political space or
live under the same flag. The people of the British Southern Cameroons can no
longer live under the control of a terror regime that organized the mass slaughter
of its own citizens with the help of a foreign army and has kept it a secret from
the world.
Why the British Southern Cameroons must be separated from French

Cameroun
Consequently, the constitutional reforms which are envisaged by President Paul

Biya only concern French Cameroun. Any citizen of the British Southern
Cameroons who accepts to participate in the constitutional reforms advocated by
Paul Biya should know that they are representing themselves. Indeed they shall
be considered by the people of the British Southern Cameroons as traitors and a
threat to their survival as a people.
Mr. Biya and his criminal generals shall be eventually indicted and arrested by
the Prosecutor of the ICC. This implies that the succession of Paul Biya is on the
cards. We would like to take the opportunity to call on the potential successors
of Paul Biya to understand that the people of the British Southern Cameroons
are determined to create a separate country, whatever the price, whatever the
sacrifices and whatever the consequences, in order to achieve this goal.
The reason is because the discovery of the link between the genocide against the
Bamileke people and reunification has completely changed the political equation
in the Cameroons. The people of the British Southern Cameroons are now
convinced that this separation is vital for the mutual survival of the Bamileke
people as well as for the people of the British Southern Cameroons.
It is true that the Bamileke and the people of the British Southern Cameroons
are brothers and they consider themselves as such. One of the reasons why
SCAPO has decided to go public with the genocide story is in order to ensure that

the Bamileke people should never again be targeted in French Cameroun for
mass slaughter. But our decision to form a separate country is based on our
belief in the old saying that: “It is better for two identical twins to live apart than
for them to die together”. This is the most important message that we want the
Bamileke people to understand. If they ever allow the criminal regime in
Yaoundé to mislead them to fighting against the people of the Southern
Cameroons because of so-called “secession”, they shall end up being the big
losers.
The Southern Cameroons shall henceforth be known as the Republic of

Ambazania and would like that the separation from French Cameroun should be
friendly and brotherly, and failing that, it should be peaceful because, one way or
the other, we shall have to live together as neighbors.
However, if the successors of President Paul Biya decide to embark on a military

adventure against the British Southern Cameroons, we shall take all the
necessary steps to ensure our self-defense against this criminal and genocidal
regime. The cost of this adventure shall be extremely high for French Cameroun.
French Cameroun will undergo an implosion with unpredictable consequences
for its own existence. Such an adventure will fail because no country in this
region shall accept hegemonistic behavior by a country with a genocidal past.
And the final result shall be the same: namely independence for the British
Southern Cameroons.
SCAPO calls on all the people of the British Southern Cameroons to get ready for
the trying times that lie ahead. The moment for the final battle of independence
is at hand. SCAPO calls on the African Union and the United Nations to
intervene in French Cameroun in order to create the environment leading to the
peaceful separation of the British Cameroons from French Cameroun before it is
too late.

Testimony to Genocide Committed on the Bamileke and Bassa People
T
he genocide against the Bamileke people in Cameroun is still a very sensitive
subject in Cameroun because it has been the subject of a policy of silence,
denial and a cover-up. It is a probably the ugliest chapter in the entire history of
France and certainly that of Gaullist France. It is primarily responsible for the manner
in which France eventually handled decolonization throughout Africa and its penchant
for maintaining a tight control over the political life of its former colonies.
The gentleman who identifies himself quite simply as Tiptop is a Frenchman who was
driven to discover more about the genocide because he is married to a Bamileke
woman. It is also apparent from some of the testimony provided by people such as
the lady called Jeannette Kamtchueng that the location of some of the mass graves in
Cameroon can be found in places such as Yoko, in the town of Bangou and in all the
known military camps that were located in the Western Province at the time. It is also
apparent that as disposal of most of the bodies could only be in mass graves, precise
location of most of those mass graves are known to people who are still alive today.
When the mass graves are finally identified and the bodies are exhumed, the most
disturbing aspect will probably be the fact that the bodies will be headless!!!
During the civil war in Sierra Leone the full horrors of which were brought to the
attention of the world by Sourious Soumorah, the Sierra Leonian journalist, the most
horrific aspects of this war was the fact that many survivors lived to tell their story but
with amputated limbs such as arms which were cut at the wrist or higher up by the
rebels depending on the mood and fancy of the rebels at a particular moment. It is
apparent that not only did many of the Bamileke victims of the massacre not have the
chance to live to tell their story but that upon being killed by their French captors, they
suffered the ultimate mutilation of having their heads cut off by their captors who
collected such heads as a form of grotesque trophy.

GENOCAM EPSILON
Testimony of Jacques
The Bamileke man who Served in the Civil Guard
GENOCAM EPSILON
G
enocide is a crime against humanity which can only be achieved when the population
at large is sold to the cause through some powerful mobilizing doctrine. The doctrine
is always an idea which is larger than life and which plays on the sensibilities and the
insecurities of the masses to convince them to go out and commit mass murder. In terms of
criminal jurisprudence, where a motive is needed by an individual to commit a crime of
murder, a doctrine is required for a large population to commit genocide.
Once the doctrine is sold to the population, it becomes easy to find willing participants in the
enterprise of genocide. For this reason it is extremely important that in conducting an
autopsy of genocide or looking for the clues of genocide in the making, one should always
look for the Doctrine which is being used by its planners. The doctrine will always expose the
strategy which will be used to mobilize the agents of the genocide.
In the case of French Cameroun, that doctrine can only be described as the doctrine of the
“Pinching Pebble (Caillou Genant). This doctrine made use of a powerful metaphor of a
traveler who is embarking on a long journey with a pebble in his shoe. Every step on this
long journey will be difficult and painful as long as the traveler allows himself to keep walking
with this pinching pebble in his shoe. In order for the journey to be bearable and successful,
the traveler must first get rid of the pinching pebble from his shoe.
The doctrine of the pinching pebble “caillau genant” was articulated by a French army officer
named Col Jean Lamberton, a veteran of the Indochina war to whom the traveler was the
country called “La République du Cameroun” and the pinching pebble was the ethnic group
known as the “Bamileke”. The Bamileke ethnic group was nothing less than the pebble in
the shoe of the long march of la République du Cameroun towards its independence. This
metaphor was very powerful and very easy to understand in a country where for lack of
motorized transport and paved roads, most people traveled on foot.
Once that doctrine was sold, the rest was easy. Col Jean Lamberton was the chief architect
and the strategist of the genocide against the Bamileke people. But the Commanding officer
of French forces in La République du Cameroun was General Max “The Viking” Briand a
veteran of the Indochina war who was so named because he was tall, blond and had the
allure of a Viking from the Nordic regions of Europe. His absolute ruthlessness in waging the
campaign against the Bamileke people earned him the reputation of “Rouleau Compresseur”
(Steam Roller).
The power of the doctrine of the pinching pebble lay in the fact that it could be sold even to
Bamileke people themselves so that they would see nothing wrong with the idea of going
GENOCAM EPSILON
after their own kinfolk in the bush and killing them. The doctrine of the pinching pebble was
used to convince even some Bamileke people that there were some of their own kinfolk
hiding in the bush who were unreasonably opposed to independence which had been
generously and magnanimously given to them by France. So anyone who would choose to
go into the bush and keep fighting the central administration in Yaoundé instead of accepting
independence which France had proclaimed on January 1, 1960 was either a terrorist, a
subversive element or at the very least pebble in the shoe of a nation which had embarked
on the long journey towards independence. The term that was applied to all the pinching
pebbles was “maquisard”. Every maquisards not only deserved to die, but his killers could
cut off his head and bring it back home as a trophy.
To illustrate the total contempt which the France had for the people of French Cameroun to
whom they granted independence on January 1, 1960, the people and the school children of
French Cameroun were taught to sing the following anthem on Independence Day in front of
French representatives:
French Version English Translation

Oh Cameroun ! Berceau de nos ancêtres Oh Cameroun! Thou cradle of our Fathers
Autrefois tu vivais dans la barbarie In the past you used to live in barbarism
Comme un soleil tu commences à paraître Like a sun, you have started to appear
Peu a peu tu sort de ta sauvagerie Little by Little you will get out of savagery
Many Bamileke people fell for the doctrine of the pinching pebble and participated in the
massacre of their kinfolk who were preventing the country from marching towards the
independence which was incarnated in the anthem above. The following is the result of an
interview conducted with a Bamileke man who was drafted into the Civil Guard, trained by the
French army and sent into the bush to hunt his kinfolk who were in the “maquis”.

GENOCAM SIGMA
The Ethnic Debate in Cameroun
BY PROFESSOR SINDJOUN POKAM
(Le Débat ethnique au Cameroun)
Sindjoun Pökam au cœur de la paranoïa Bamiléké
Par SINDJOUN POKAM Philosophe/Ecrivain sindjounpokam@yahoo.fr Le 03-02-2006
The remarks in paragraph 1 were certainly made by a detractor of Professor Sindjoun

Pokam who is the author of the article below. It is also clear from the tone of the editorial
comment that the commentator is also a Bamileke man who believes in the role of the
La’akam as a rampart for the protection of the interests of the Bamileke people in Cameroun.
However it does not detract from the insight which one has of the explosive nature of the
Bamileke problem today and its potential for generating the next genocide in Cameroun.
We have said earlier that genocide is a programme of mass killing on a large scale which
requires many years to plan, while waiting for two things: timing and opportunity. In this
article, it is clear that the genocide of 1960-70 which was conducted against the Bamileke
people using the mobilizing doctrine of the pinching pebble failed to achieve its ultimate goal
because the Bamileke have come back in less than 45 years to re-conquer the economic
space of Cameroun and to control it in a manner that is almost unchallenged. Meanwhile the
inheritors of political power who were put on the throne by the France at the end of the
genocidal war are still in power.
The advent of political liberalization which has mutated into multi-party democracy has now
repositioned the Bamileke as a threat to executive power which they seek to acquire with the
power of their money and demography. The challenge facing the princes who were anointed
by France is how to prevent this dynamic group which already controls the economy from
encroaching on the powers of the executive. A new and even more explosive confrontation
has been growing in Cameroun since 1990 by which executive power backed by the force of
the military is facing the economic and demographic power of the Bamileke who are
perceived as allied with the Anglophones to constitute the so-called “Anglo-Bami” group.
Since those who are planning genocide always start with a doctrine or a slogan which is
capable of mobilizing their followers to act without remorse in committing mass murder, the
question is what is the new genocide doctrine which is being articulated against the Bamileke
people? General Asso’o summarized it when he said, “The Bamileke people have
everything and they steal everything”. From this statement, it is abundantly clear that as
long as executive power backed by the force of the military continues to be under the
exclusive control of those who were anointed by France following the last genocide of the
Bamileke, the next genocide is only a matter of timing and opportunity. SCAPO

Rhineland. He afterwards attended a military academy for young officers in Berlin. In 1806, during the
Napoleonic Wars, Clausewitz was captured by the French in the Jena campaign. After being
exchanged as a prisoner two years later, he returned to Prussia, where he became the military instructor
of the Crown Prince, and departmental chief in the Ministry of War; he also assisted in reorganizing
the army. Clausewitz served from 1812 to 1814 in the Russian army against Napoleon and, after re-
entering the Prussian army, fought at Waterloo. In 1818 Clausewitz was made a major general, and
from 1818 to 1830 he was director of the War College in Berlin. Clausewitz gained international fame

GENOCAM UPSILON
Terrorism in French Cameroon
What did the British Government Know?
GENOCAM UPSILON
The following is a confidential dispatch from the British Vice Consul in Douala dated
November 19, 1960 to the Africa Department of the British Foreign Office (Ref: FO
371/146552). This document is classified in the British Archives under the heading:
Terrorism in French Cameroons. It gives a very interesting picture of what the British
Government knew about what was going on in French Cameroun at the time that genocide
was going on there.
It is to be remembered that French Cameroun Republic became independent on 1st January

1960. Given the fact that the United Kingdom was still the administering authority over the
Southern Cameroons, the British Government must have been one of the first European
countries to open an Embassy in Yaoundé in early 1960. It is clear from this document that
the British government also opened a Consulate in Douala. The person who issued the
document (Mr. G. Cardona, the Vice Consul in Douala) was most certainly an intelligence
officer attached to the British mission in Yaoundé. That would explain why he was the
ranking officer representing the British side at these Liaison Meeting with the security officials
of French Cameroun.

evident during the latter part of the afternoon session
of the Liaison meeting on the part of the
Camerounian side. This was due to the inability of
the British side to reply to the other side’s
satisfaction, to two or three questions of purely
political character which were asked by the
Camerounians. On my return journey to Douala by
car in the company of the Prefect of Douala and the

of making it quite clear to them that the British Police

and Army authorities are not in a position nor can

they be expected to give replies to questions of
political content during an official Inter-Police Liaison
Meeting, where such questions are not supposed to
be raised or discussed. I also assured them of the
continued willingness of the British side to provide
whatever information of a security character that was
available to them and which would be useful to the
Camerounians. The Director of Security assured me
that they always found these Liaison Meeting very
useful and that they were looking forward to the next
one to be held at Douala on December 15. The fact
however that during our conversation he hinted to the
British side also having put a question of political
character (reaction to Moumie’s death by (a) general

that despite his assurance that they had been

Her Majesty’s Vice Consul
From this dispatch we conclude that the British Government did not know what
was doing on in French Cameroun at this time. However, it must be
remembered that the arrival of the French Army Brigade led by General Max
“The Viking” Briand came into French Cameroun several months later and the
military campaign in Bamilike country went into full swings starting in 1962.
That is the reason why President Paul Biya was at the thick and thin of the
decision-making at the Presidency after he came back from France and was
appointed in 1962 as Chargé de Mission under President Ahmadou Ahidjo.
The question is whether the British intelligence services were aware of the scale
of what was going on starting from 1962 to around 1966. This can only be
ascertained by looking at dispatches from French Cameroun to the Foreign
Office from 1962 to 1966. This is what will enable us to know what the British
government knew and when they knew it. If the British Government finally
c!/%4<*3C65!W'$7'*<!dSSeZ!./0)1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)'C#!`!%8!P!
GENOCAM UPSILON
became aware of the sheer scale of what was really going on in Bamilekeland in
French Cameroun, what did they tell their French counterpart????
It is also noteworthy that the genocide against the Bamileke people took place
after reunification between British Southern Cameroons and French Cameroun
was celebrated on October 1, 1961. This confirms the theory that President
Charles de Gaulle and Ahmadou Ahidjo were opposed to reunification between
British Southern Cameroons and French Cameroun precisely because the
people of the British Southern Cameroons were considered by the French
authorities as the kith and kin of the Bamileke. Colonel Jean Marie Lamberton
who served as the political commissar in the genocide campaign against the
Bamileke people was quite clear in stating the closeness of the kinship between
Bamileke and their English-speaking neighbors. Consequently, they could not
accept the arrival of English-speaking Bamileke people to come in and upset
the demographic apple cart of French Cameroun because it would weaken the
political base of President Ahmadou Ahidjo, a Moslem northerner who would
have preferred reunification with Northern Cameroons.
When they were unable to block the passage of UN General Assembly

resolution 1608 (XV) on reunification between the two Cameroons on April 21,
1961, President Charles de Gaulle and Ahmadou Ahidjo decided that The Final
Solution was to physically decimate the Bamileke ethnic group in French
Cameroun so that they should never be able to form an alliance with their newly
arrived English-speaking brothers and constitute a demographic threat to the
Ahidjo government’s control of political power in the future. §

Why the Southern Cameroons Wants Total Separation from French Cameroun
46 Years of State Sponsored Terrorism By French Cameroun
46 Years of State Sponsored Terrorism by French Cameroun
The idea of unification between Southern Cameroons and French

Cameroun was a risky UN experiment because it required that the two
peoples who had acquired two fundamentally different colonial
experiences, and became exposed to two different European political
cultures from 1920 to 1961, should thereafter learn how to live in
harmony under one flag. After 46 years of this experiment, we in the
Southern Cameroons can say with absolute certainty that the
experiment has failed.
At the core of Cameroon’s political problems is the fact that

Francophones believe in the idea of a strong centralized unitary state.
On the other hand the Anglophones who are in the minority believe in
the concept of federalism and subsidiarity because they consider that
the centralized unitary state which was introduced in 1972 has
deprived them of the right to
control their own affairs and
reinforced their status of being
second-class citizens. The
Anglophones believe, like the
French-speaking Canadians of
Quebec, that the English-
speaking provinces of Cameroon
have a distinct political culture
which must be recognized and
protected in the constitution in
order to enable them to provide
for a large level of self-
government while the federal
government should concern itself
only with matters such as
defense, diplomacy, currency,
telecommunications which are
better managed by the government at the center.

It is because of this fundamental clash in political cultures that the
tendency of the Anglophones to protest and to take the fight for their
rights to the streets has placed them on a permanent collision course
with the government of French Cameroun which is run largely by
Francophones who have unleashed a reign of terror over the
Anglophones in Cameroon. Indeed the government of French
Cameroun has engaged in state sponsored terrorism against the
Anglophones who over the years have been shot and killed, arrested,
detained without charge or trial, tortured and sentenced to various
terms of imprisonment. This is one of the areas of irreconcilable
differences, which
require that the two
peoples be
separated. If
separation does not
take place peacefully,
there will be armed
conflict and genocide
in British Southern
Cameroons.
The history of state-

sponsored terrorism
by French Cameroun
has been carefully
documented over the
years and we present herewith a catalogue of this reign of terror by the
government of French Cameroun on the people of the Southern
Cameroons. To the extent that this reign of terror has been targeted
exclusively against the people of the British Southern Cameroons, it
constitutive a crime against humanity under the statures of the
International Criminal Court.

21 August 3000 The Lake Nyos Disaster: This volcanic Lake is
1986 located in the western mountains, near the Nigerian
border,. In the night of 21 August 1986 a noxious
mixture of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide,
killed 3,000 people and an untold number of
livestock. Some scientists who hurriedly appeared
on the scene a few days later, claimed that this was
the result of a gigantic gas bubble which had
collected below the bed of the lake and which
exploded on the night of the fateful day. It is useful to
point out that after several conferences on the
matter, the scientists never agreed on the cause of
the explosion. The people of the Southern
Cameroons have never believed the poison gas
bubble story. They believe that this was the result of
a nocturnal test of a weapon of mass destruction
(WMD) which had been conducted by some foreign
power with the consent of the government of
French Cameroun to use the people of the Lake
Nyos Area as the guinea pigs. As far as the people
of the Southern Cameroons are concerned, the
Lake Nyos disaster ranks as a war crime for which
the perpetrators have gone unpunished. But they
hold the government of FrenchCameroun
responsible for this crime against humanity.

March 26-27 On March 26-27 1997 a series of disturbances took
1997 place in several towns of the Northwest Province
which were characterized by armed attacks against
the symbols of the state. The events were
concentrated in the towns of Kumbo, Jakiri, Oku,
Mbengwi and Bafut. The events resulted in the
shooting deaths of two gendarme officers and the
burning down of the residence of the Sous-Prefet
of Kumbo.
Instead of conducting a judicial enquiry in order to
establish the facts surrounding the incident, identify
the perpetrators of the crimes committed and bring
them to justice, the Government of French
Cameroun used this as a pretext to conduct the
massive arrest of over 200 Southern
Cameroonians who were suspected of having links
with the SCNC. They were arrested and

Genocam Tau
transferred to the maximum security prison called
Nkondengui near Yaoundé the capital of French
Cameroun where they were detained without trial
for nearly three years. Meanwhile the francophone
press led by publications such as Jeune Afrique
Economie made extensive coverage of the events
asserting without proof that the events of March
1997 were the work of SCNC secessionists who
had attempted to use armed rebellion in order to
carry out their secessionist aims.
Ten of the detainees died in jail as result of torture,

disease and malnutrition. The government finally
staged a trial before a military tribunal in 1999 at
which they were charged with various offenses
carrying the death penalty. Contrary to public
expectation, the Government did not have the
courage to charge them with secession because
they knew and understood that there is no legal
instrument binding Southern Cameroons and
French Cameroun on the basis of which a charge
of secession from the union could be filed against
any of the detainees who openly admitted in court to
being members of the SCNC.
Many of the detainees were convicted of various

capital offenses but were sentenced to jail terms
ranging from 10 years to life imprisonment.
However, the events of March 1997 demonstrate
that French Cameroun has no constitutional basis
on which it can charge a Southern Cameroonian
with secession because no binding legal instrument
of union exists between the Southern Cameroons
and French Cameroun.

High Court where we was plaintiff in a libel suit
against Mr. Winston Sama Fonyonga (a member of
the governing CPDM party). He was detained for
18 days at the BMM Bamenda for 18 days and
subjected to intense interrogation and intimidation
about his role in the SCNC. Justice Nyo Wakai and
the Late Dr. Nkengong Monie drew the attention of
the court to arrest within court premises. The High
Court Judge remarked that the gendarmes had no
right to arrest anybody within court premises, but the
gendarmes who have no regard for the judicial
system in the Southern Cameroons and who take
their orders from their superiors in Yaounde ignored
this.

On going The Posting of Soldiers who are HIV Positive to
the Southern Cameroons: In a bid to forestall a
perceived threat of invasion from Nigeria, the
government of French Cameroun has stationed
troops in key border divisions in the Northwest
Province. According to insider information from the
command structure of the Cameroon Armed
Forces, the government of French Cameroun has
also adopted the diabolical policy of posting soldiers
who test positive with the HIV virus to the North-
West Province so that they can wage genocidal war
against the people of the North-West by infecting
young women with the HIV virus. Political leaders
have warned, perhaps belatedly, young girls during
public rallies against sexual contact with these
soldiers. The AIDS virus is raging in the Northwest
Province at the moment.
The SCNC and SCAPO demand that all soldiers,
gendarme officers and policemen transferred from
French Cameroun to the Southern Cameroons
should be tested for AIDS!!!!!!!
