It's all in the (government) motivation, isn't it? If one cannot question the actual government's motivation in taking such extreme measures then it's going to be hard to come to a consensus on lasting peaceful solutions. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">I myself was born francophone and still a national of the same African francophone country of birth, and I can relate to that notion of "pleins pouvoirs"-- not to say "pouvoir absolu"-- found in some of our countries, which Joash was referring to. But I would urge ISOC Cameroon to try to relate also to the global culture of individual rights, particularly in the age of the Internet. Then whatever you'll be able to accept as the right of any Cameroonian, should be the right of all Cameroonians without distinction of language, ethnicity, religion, political views or location, etc. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">And, addressing the government here, I personally can't even begin to understand what is so difficult to understand in the notion that being a bilingual country is an asset, an advantage rather than a threat or drawback. </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">So yes, we get it, not the whole of Cameroon is cut off from the Internet. But no, that doesn't make it any more acceptable that "only" a couple of regions are targeted by what seems like a punishment for a "crime de lèse majesté". </div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Now the question on our table here is what we, global civil society coalitions, can do about a situation like this. I recall working for a short while at APC on those universal periodic reviews (hope I'm not messing up with that heavily acronym based terminology) at the UN Human Rights Council, and Cameroon was up for review at some point.

The two areas made up of Anglophones, who have been marginalized largely because of their language and their calls for federation have been met by internet shutdown and full force of security agents.

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"><p>HI All,</p><p>Just passing on a note from Mafor Edwan
of ISOC Cameroon about the Cameroonian Government shut down of the
Internet in his country. <br>
</p><p> I am at a loss for words of yet another country that has cut off
Internet Access for its citizens. Thanks to ISOC Cameroon for all
their efforts to resolve this crisis, even though they have not
been successful, I am glad that they have tried. I am a passionate
believer in an open Internet. One that is available to all. By
connecting the world, working with others, and advocating for
equal access to the Internet, We can make the world a better
place.</p>
Edwan hopes people can share this word about this and hopefully some
one can reach the President and tell him what a bad idea this is. I
told him I would share it around. Hope others can do the same<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
Judith <br>

<div>Good evening Fellow ISOC Delegates,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I bring you sad news about the state of internet access in
my home country Cameroon.</div>
<div>I have sobbed uncontrollably for weeks as the govt of my
country tortures and mimes her citizens and recently has cut
off the ability to send financial support to our families
through western union and has now cut off the internet.</div>
