An excerpt from a February 20, 1962 article in the Guardian Newspaper read "The unification of French-speaking Cameroun with the former British-administered Southern Cameroons is a 'unique experience' in Africa..."
The reunification of the two territories marked a milestone in the cause espoused by Cameroonian nationalists to reunite the lands of the former German colony of Kamerun that was partitioned by Britain and France following the defeat of Germany in the First World War. It was one step forward in realizing the dream of "THE NEW CAMEROON", even though Cameroonian nationalists were being hounded by the French pacification forces, and despite the fact that France had successfully installed a puppet regime in the French-speaking Cameroun that went on to usurp the reunification program and give it a bad name, causing disillusionment among Cameroonians from the former British Southern Cameroons.
Today, Cameroonians ask themselves the question: What is to be done to get rid of an anachronistic French-imposed system that is leaving the country stuck in underdevelopment, corruption, fraud, despondence, dictatorship and division while the rest of the world around is moving forward?
