CLARIFICATION LETTER

 

Dear all,

 
 

The public is hereby notified of a Change in the name of the Civil Society PlatForm for Democracy in Cameroon's name to DIASPORA CAMEROUNAISE POUR L'ALTERNANCE EN
2011/Cameroon Diaspora for Political Change-over in 2011. An Emergency Executive Meeting of PlatForm USA was held on April 19, 2008 following the change of Cameroon Constitution by the National Assembly to discuss
the structuring and deployment of Platform-USA throughout the United States. After agreeing that Platform-USA is not a branch of Yaoundé-based Civil Society Platform for Democracy in Cameroon and that Platform-USA should not attack with the intent to weaken other Diaspora Patriotic Organizations such as CODE and others as HILAIRE KAMGA did on March 16, 2008.

• It was resolved that KAMGA HILAIRE alias 'Dr. Kamga Hilaire', is trying to divide the patriotic and democratic forces in the Diaspora to advance his Selfish Interest and Private Agenda, distinct from the quest of the Cameroonians in the Diaspora to contribute strategically and financially to the advent of a Political Change-over in Cameroon in 2011.
  
• It was decided that Platform-USA is not a tool for certain individuals to negotiate a ministerial position in Cameroon by brandishing their capacity to control a Diaspora organization.
  
• Accordingly, HILAIRE KAMGA, the so-called spokesperson of the Civil Society Platform for Democracy in Cameroon has no connection whatsoever to Platform-USA and should not use Platform-USA, which is US 501(c)(4) organization to advance his selfish and obscure agenda in Cameroon.
  
• Accordingly, the four individuals that held an illegal meeting of Platform-USA on May 10, 2008 following an order from Hilaire Kamga are suspended indefinitely from their positions in Platform-USA: Marcel Sime, is suspended from the position of Vice-coordinator; Eric Njungwe is suspended from the position of Spokesperson. We will not mention the other 2 participants here since they were never members of the executive of Platform-USA.
  
• It was this decided that those suspended individuals have no authority to represent Platform-USA in any public or private forum or event. Any such representation will be ILLEGAL and FRAUDULENT since Diaspora Camerounaise pour L'alternance en 2011 dba Platform-USA is a registered USA 501(C)(4) organization.
  
• Therefore it is forbidden to those suspended individuals which are inclined to mercantilism to engage in any asylum business by issuing any fraudulent support document under the name Platform-USA or they will face consequences of the full force of the USA laws
  

Mr. Jean-Marc Nken of PlatForm USA was unanimously elected as a Vice-Coordinator to replace the suspended Marcel Sime. The rest of Platform-USA team remains unchanged.

The Diaspora Camerounaise pour l'Alternance en 2011 (PlatForm USA) will remain an autonomous democratic institution and the most authoritative and legitimate coalition of organizations and concerned Cameroonians in the United States. PlatForm USA will therefore continue to advocate for real democratic change in Cameroon in 2011.

Meanwhile, all PlatForm USA members, supporters, and sympathizers are invited to the Town hall meeting Preparatory Meeting which will take place as scheduled below.
