50 Years After Cameroon Reunification Prof. Victor Ngoh Unveils Hidden Facts

• Foncha's secret deal with Ahidjo
• Soppo Priso financed KNDP
• The plebiscite and ghost voters

 

Summit Magazine:  The venue for the celebration of the 50^th anniversary after reunification is hanging on the air pending the announcement of the Head of State, Paul Biya. Some people talk of Buea, others say Kumba, Bamenda and Foumban.  As a historian where should the celebrations take place?

Professor Victor Ngoh Julius:  Well I think it should be made absolutely clear, the reunification event was between British Southern Cameroons and the Republic of Cameroon.  At that time the centre of power of authority in British Southern Cameroon was in Buea.  All negotiations between Ahidjo and Foncha which took place in British Southern Cameroons took place in Buea.  So there is absolutely no place of saying Kumba, Bamenda or Foumban should host the event.
