Organize a referendum for Ambazonians - Barrister Felix Agbor Ngongho at the House of commons, Canadian Parliament.
30th Oct. 2018.
Barrister Felix Agbor Ngongho popularly known as "Balla" in Southern Cameron (Ambazonia) is the director and the founding President of the Centre for Human Rights and Democracy in Africa (2005), and President of the Anglophone Civil Society Consortium. He is a lawyer. He studied in Cameron, Nigeria and the U.S. He was called to the bar in 1996. As a practicing lawyer he has worked at the UN as a legal adviser to the international criminal tribunal, he has worked as a human rights adviser with the UN mission in Afghanistan. He has worked as a legal adviser to the UN Police in DRC.
He was detained, tortured and charged with terrorism by the dictatorial Regime of 85-year-old Paul Biya of the Republic of Cameroon alongside other learned lawyer activists who called for a better legal and educational system, restoration of the common law which is eroding, and better welfare for the anglophone citizens. President Paul Biya has been in Power for 36 years and recently won another 7-year term in an election that almost all the citizens from the anglophone part (now called Ambazonia) boycotted.
Barrister Felix while addressing the Subcommittee on International Human Rights, in Canada on the 30th of October, 2018, in a briefing of the Human Rights situation in Cameron, gave a brief run down on the situation in Cameron between the Francophone and Anglophone speaking parts. He made some expressions which tells more and can be said to be the opinion of so many ambazonians when questioned by the subcommittee.
Take a look at some excerpt from his briefing:
"Lawyers had written four (4) memorandums to the state documenting the problems that they face, but unfortunately nobody responded to them.... We decided we will marched in the streets with our wigs and gowns to call the attention of the government. If they were really sleeping, they will realize that we mean business. But the lawyers were brutalized, they were beating, they were dragged in the mud. Their wigs and gowns were seized and as a result of that teachers and students had to join them in protesting, but these were peaceful protest. But unfortunately on the 17th of January Internet was disconnected in the English speaking part of the country for 3 months... We have had the war in the North on Boko Haram which have been going on for a year and the Internet wasn't disconnected, because of the protest in the English Cameron Internet was cut off for 3 months." - Barrister Felix testified.
He further stated the current positions of the anglophone citizens; "Now majority of the people would not settle for anything less than separation. Now the majority of the people are asking for a referendum to determine their fate."
He submitted his perspective on how Canada can be involved in the situation in Cameron;
"so we believe that the government of Canada can do a lot in trying to create an enabling environment in putting pressure on the government to call for a dialogue and at best ask the people of Cameron, ask the government to organize a referendum."
Ambazonians are currently facing genocide at the hands of President Paul Biya since they declared independence from Cameron. With this address at the Canadian Parliament many are excited that Canada might intervene in time to stop the ugly events unfolding in the English speaking part of Cameron now called Ambazonia, and put an end to the massacre and destruction of homes by the LRC soldiers by supporting a #referendum for the English Cameroonians.
