Biafra, Cameroon May Fight For Independence Together by Gerarahere: 6:55pm On Feb 25, 2016
– Camerron’s political prisoner alleged
that Biafra main join forces with
Southern Cameroon – IPOB is ready to work with any group
which wants to be freed from
prosecution – The security analyst says that
coalition is very possible, while UK
government denied such development Ebenezer Akwanga Ebenezer Akwanga, the human rights activist
and former political prisoner, in the interview
granted to the IBTimes UK has said that Biafra
movement in Nigeria may join its forces with
Southern Cameroon to achieve independence. Akwanga supposes that human right violations
of secessionist mobvements in Southern
Cameroons are the same. The man, who is now the president of the
Southern Cameroons Youth League, was
imprisoned and tortured in 1977 in Cameroon
for six years due to his political activism. The activist believes his people might
collaborate with pro-Biafrans in south-eastern
Nigeria, who are also willing to become
independent. “Political sequences took place which
affected our culture, language,
traditions, everything that makes us a
people,” he said. READ ALSO: Asari Dokubo speaks about Biafra name “Around 1984 the Cameroon
Anglophone Movement started. It was
first looking for a return to a federal
system of governance and later on
became the Southern Cameroon
Restoration Movement. “The Southern Cameroons Youth
League was born and our goal was
simple: We wanted the total and
unconditional independence of the
Southern Cameroons.” On the other hand, a coordinator of Indigenous
People of Biafra in Anambra state, who asked
not to be named, confirmed pro-Biafrans and
people in Southern Cameroons might join their
forces. “IPOB is ready to work or join forces
with any group seeking for
independence from slavery and
persecution. And our people in
Southern Cameroon are not any
different,” the coordinator stated. David Otto, CEO of UK-based global security
provider TGS Intelligence Consultants, has
said that a coalition between the two separatist
movements is very expected and could further
destabilize the region. He said: “Although the Southern Cameroon National Council (SCNS) is
purely a peaceful movement, they could
be tempted to join forces with the Biafra
movement, which has been vocal in
their willingness to use arms against the
Nigerian government. READ ALSO: Kanu’s wife reveals why her husband supports Biafra “The Biafran movement will prefer to
use their affiliation with members of the
SCNC to secure a safe haven in
Cameroon or perhaps use Cameroon as
a point to launch attacks against the
Nigerian government. “The entire region will be in chaos from
both ends and it will be easier for Boko
Haram terrorists to hijack the
opportunity and extend southwards in
Cameroon and Nigeria.” “There is no need for government to
wait until arms and violence becomes
the only option. Self determination
referendums have been successfully
done in many countries including
Ethiopia, UK, Canada, Spain, etc. In a democratic setting, let the people
decide their destiny.” The UK government speaking on the
development, said: “The position of the UK government during the Biafran War is a
matter of historical record. The UK
government’s position, which reflected
the Charter of the Organisation of
African Unity, was to recognise the
borders laid down at Independence. “The Biafran War caused great
suffering and the UK supported the
reconciliation work that followed the
conflict. The UK supports the territorial
integrity of Nigeria and President
Buhari’s commitment to work for a secure and prosperous Nigeria for all
Nigerians.” President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has always claimed that the unity of the
country is a priority and that while peaceful pro-Biafran protests are welcome, asking for
the separating the Biafran territories is against
the constitution. The Nigerian police also denied accusations of
violence during pro-Biafran protests, saying
that security forces had to intervene as pro-
Biafrans “were armed and disrupted peace in
the state.” The arrest of Biafra leader Nnamdi Kanu in
October last year caused a new wave of
protests.
