38. The Complainants submit that the intimidation and act of collective punishment of Southern Cameroons citizens by the government of the former French Cameroon continues unabated with the total blackout of internet services in the Southern Cameroons since January 2017, further provoking the anger of a population accustomed to using social media to communicate, and internet-based cash transfers to send money for business transactions and to relatives. 39. The Complainants add that since the shutdown of internet in the Southern Cameroons there are, in the Southern Cameroons, indiscriminate stop-and-on-the-spot checks, seizures and arrests of persons suspected of disseminating information through social media. This has resulted in the seizure and destruction of mobile Pl10nes of a number of citizens of the Southern Cameroons simply because ~€~~,flgesabout'ttl~civil disobedience were found in their phones.

The Complainant allege further that all the towns and villages in the Southern Cameroon are heavily militarized and there are reports of arrests and shootings (with live ammunitions) on a daily basis, resulting to lootings, destruction of property and more deaths. The number of persons kili~'b the military is as yet difficult-to determine. But they are certainly high to have elici g),serious concern worldwide. The Daily Mail of London, 13 February 2017, gives the consetvative figure,of" at least six protesters shot dead and hundreds others arrested". Lawyers have boycotted Courts in the Southern Cameroons for over four months now, schools have been shut for the same period of time. Proponents of federalism are arrested. It is now a treasonable and even an offence of terrorism to advocate for federalisffi,r:as,according to:_$hegovernment of la Republique du Cameroun, federalism is a threat to"t),ite".unity of Cameroun. There is therefore no Court with jurisdiction to adjudicate any petition calling for a federation system in Cameroon. 41. The Complainants finally submit that proponents of federalism now maintain that given the refusal by la Republique du Cameroun to accept a return to the federation of two states, equal in status, agreed upon between the Southern Cameroons and former French Cameroun in l~~g,<andwhich influenced the 11 February 1961 plebiscite vote for political association witlti£clrroer French Cameroun, then under the circumstances the Southern Cameroons is left~ith no other option than to break away from its colonial bondage and immediately restore its statehood as an independent state.
