A SAD REALITY OF THE ANGLOPHONE STRUGGLE | Fab-book

In a very revealing expose, Mark Bareta recounts how a "unified and equal "Cameroon has always unfairly treated one party - the anglophones. He talks of how every political and educational reform the anglophones ever got, was gotten through fighting and bloodshed. A people who are officially equal in status, yet the anglophones seem to have to fight and sweat extra for recognition.

Citing the case of the educational institutions such as the University of Buea, he says these are reminders of institutions gotten through bloodshed. As well as the 1990s violent riot to get the country to return to multi party politics. This write up by the Political journalist and Southern Cameroons Activist is quite enlightening for the ongoing Crisis going on in Cameroon.

It gets us thinking that if we are indeed one and united as it is claimed, why will an equal part of the country have to obtain it's rightful reforms through sweat and bloodshed and suffer constant suppression, while another part doesn't struggle. If this question can honestly be answered, then there can be a wave forward.

The Bastardization of the University of Buea: Why Southern Cameroonians must fight to the end

Those who know the history of Anglosaxon Education and institutions in the Cameroons will tell you the price Southern Cameroonians paid to bring them into being. In a country that is supposedly made up of two peoples, equal in status, Southern Cameroonians have often gotten meaningful political and educational reforms only through agitations and bloodshed. The 1990s violent riots for the return to multiparty politics, the existence of the University of Buea and the Cameroons General Certificate of Education Board in the Cameroons today, is a sad reminder of the bloodshed and deaths encountered by the Southern Cameroons people in the streets of Bamenda, Buea and Yaounde. The continuous bastardization of these institutions, especially the Anglosaxon oriented University of Buea, becomes a propeller for Southern Cameroonians who understand the value of quality 21st century university education, to take the present revolutionary fight to its logical end.
