Southern Cameroons National Council

Southern Cameroons National Council

The Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC) is a secessionist organisation that seeks the independence of the anglophone Southern Cameroons from the francophone Republic of Cameroon (La République de Cameroun). It is a non-violent organisation, and its motto is "The force of argument, not the argument of force." The current chairman is Chief Ayamba Ette Otun. Because the SCNC advocates secession from francophone Cameroon, it has been declared an illegal organization by the government of Paul Biya. Security forces regularly interrupt SCNC meetings, arresting members and typically detaining them for several days before release.
