The interim leaders of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium have made it abundantly clear to the regime in Yaoundé that, it is the question of unconditionally releasing all Southern Cameroon detainees and for the people of British Southern Cameroons to organize a referendum to determine if they wish to continue in a one and indivisible Cameroun or not.

The Consortium has also pointed out that any discussion with the Biya Francophone regime will be based on a single agenda with the detained leaders on the negotiating table.
