John Fru Ndi, SDF Chairman

The Cameroonian political party Social Democratic Front (SDF) was launched in Bamenda on 26 May 1990, when pioneers like John Fru Ndi decided to confront the one-party system that was in force in Cameroon at the time. They organised a demonstration for multiparty democracy on that day, which was bloodily reprimanded, leaving six people dead and hundreds injured. The Biya regime was forced to give in and to recognise fundamental rights such as political freedom, freedom of opinion and association.
The SDF is celebrating its 32nd anniversary on May 26, 2022 and on this occasion, we publish below the speech of John Fru Ndi, National Chairman of the Party.

 

Dear Members and sympathisers of the Social Democratic Front,

Fellow Cameroonians,


Another year has come to pass and once again we are blessed to celebrate a milestone, the birth of our great party the SDF, a day which marks a pivotal point in the lives of every Cameroonian and the African continent.

Alain Fogué et B. NissackMr. Alain Fogue and Mr. Bibou Nissack - unjustly arrested when they did not even participate in the peaceful march of 22 September 2020 - have just been charged more than a year later by the Yaoundé military court on the basis of reasons typical of totalitarian regimes. Several other militants of the CRM have also received appalling sentences of between 2, 5, 6 years in prison following a mock trial on the same fallacious grounds by a justice system under the orders of Mr. BIYA, president of the Superior Council of the Judiciary.

In the face of this judicial cruelty, this inadmissible cynicism and this unacceptable monstrosity, Lucifer himself is only a student of evil.

Starting on 1 January 2022, all associations and tontines will be forced to pay new taxes: VAT, IT (Income Tax), IRCM (Tax on Income from Transferable Capital) as well as the additional communal centimes. A real scandal. This new taxation is neither regulated by OHADA nor by any financial regime.

The tontine is a saving and not a value-added transaction.

It is unacceptable, criminal and outrageous to require associations and tontines to have a taxpayer's card in order for the tax authorities to deduct taxes on their members' tontines and movable capital. The state must not impose double taxation on the same item. The money that ends up in the tontines has already been taxed somewhere.

Mr. Biya's regime has decided to bury Cameroonians for good.

Jena-Michel Nintcheu - Cavayé YéguiéThe session of the National Assembly of Cameroon dedicated to questions prior to the adoption of the 2022 budget was tarnished by a serious incident when CPDM baron and PAN Cavayé Yégué Djibril refused to allow the SDF MP Jean Michel Nintcheu to speak in violation of the regulations.

According to several witnesses, Nintcheu did not give in and this resulted in violent verbal exchanges between the two men, to the point where the PAN threatened to call in the Gendarmerie to expel the Wouri-East deputy. At one point Jean-Michel Nitcheu briefly left the room to express his exasperation.

This week, the Social Democratic Front mourns the death of young Ndialle Caro Louise, whose life was snuffed out by excessive police force, an incident that has left the SDF family and the entire nation deeply angered and heartbroken. We also share the pain of the family of the gendarme officer lynched to death by the angry crowd. Both were very sad, and unfortunate Incidents that were avoidable. At the same time, these are strong reminders of the need for an end to Violence and a return to peace In the Northwest and Southwest regions.
