The abolition of the Federal Governance System in 1972 which intensified centralization and the co-optation of the English-Speaking Regions into the ambit of Francophone Centralized System was the beginning of the dramatic experiences which English-Speaking Cameroonians have endured for more than five (5) decades now. The identity of English-Speaking Cameroonians was further annihilated in 1984 under Law No. 84-1 of 4th February 1984, changing the name from United Republic of Cameroon to Republic of Cameroon (La Republic du Cameroun).
As a result, English-Speaking Cameroonians went into slumber and their citizenship rights degenerated into what has until now, been the violation of fundamental human rights and liberties. This tendency has persisted because of the reluctant character of the leadership in Cameroon to implement policies that guarantee the equality of all its citizens. This non-challant attitute of the current regime has given rise to a people’s movement called Southern Cameroon National Council (SCNC), whose fundamental objective is to seek ways of how to pass across a legitimate message on the treatment of Anglophones by the regime of La Republic du Cameroun.
