Plots to silence SCNC activists?

By Ashu Divine, human rights activist

The continuous arrest and detention of SCNC leaders and activists around Cameroon is creating fears within the SCNC organisation. It is feared the Government has a list of over 150 SCNC activists they must put behind bars or assassinate in a means to weaken the organisation.

It is rumoured within SCNC sources that there has been plans to silence the SCNC by plotting to kill the leaders or putting them behind bars. Two months ago, Henry Fossung, leader of one of the factions of the SCNC had declared that the Government had on its agenda, plans of killing SCNC leaders. Prior to the October 1 celebrations, an assassination plot was discovered as someone purported to have been sponsored by the Government of La Republique du Cameroun to assassinate Ebenezer Akwanger, the SCYL leader in Nigeria. Since then, the number of arrests and detentions of SCNC leaders and activists is on the rise. It is rumoured the Government is unhappy with the negative image the SCNC is painting. Recently on October 1^st 2005, the Southern Cameroons National Council in Belgium issued out a petition asking for the United Nations to create an ad hoc tribunal to try Mr Paul Biya for crimes against humanity. Sources close to the Presidency say, the head of state was particularly bitter with this petition and wants a crack down on the SCNC. SCNC activists claim there is a list from the Government with the names of targeted SCNC activists. Prominent in the list are the names of Southern Cameroons leaders who are suing the government of La Republique du Cameroun, SCNC leaders of France, Belgium, USA, Holland and La Republique du Cameroun. The following SCNC leaders are said to be in the yet to be confirmed list:
