SEND ME AN EMAIL« Broken Dreams | Main | Remembering October 1, 1961: Ben Muna in his Own Words »
In 1960, Primen Minister John Ngu Foncha (in suit on stairway) and Hon. S. T. Muna (carrying traditional bag) wave to wellwishers as they board a plane of the West African Airways Corporation (WAAC) for a journey to London to discuss the future of Southern Cameroons with British Colonial authorities.

That picture of Foncha and Muna has had a much greater impact on me that all the recent write-ups on the Southern Cameroons problem. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then this is it -it goes back to a time when Southern Cameroonians were masters of their own destiny and did not have to answer to Yaounde.
Maybe it is time for Southern Cameroons come out with a picture narrative of the Southern Cameroons story. This is not a difficult endeavour ; pay a small stipend to a few students in the history department of University of Buea and they will spend time in the archives and the ministry of information in buea collecting these pictures...

FROM INDEPENT COUNTRY TO A PROVINCE AND BACK TO INDEPENDENT COUNTRY.
THATS WHAT SOUTHERN CAMEROONS NEED NOW.
