Resolution of the May 16 Platform-USA meeting

Resolution of the Executive Committee of Diaspora Camerounaise pour l ‘Alternance en 2011(Platform-USA )

The ordinary of the Executive Bureau of the Platform-USA met in Bowie on the 16/05/08 to discuss the participation of the Cameroon Diaspora in the USA to the betterment of the democratic process in Cameroon in particular and activities of the Platform-USA in general.

The bureau members discussed the dissidence in Platform-USA by a minority fraction of individuals who worked hard to prevent the taking off of the activities of Platform-USA in the USA and now claim to be so-called leaders of a fraction of platform-USA; the so-called coordinator of that dissident group, Marcel Sime, is the very person who fought hard to prevent that Platform-USA label be used during the March 06 rally in Washington DC , who called Cameroonians in the USA to misinform them that the March 14 rally of Platform-USA was cancelled , who adamantly refuse to relinquish the Platform-USA megaphone in his possession simply because he was opposed to the March 14 Platform-USA’s rally against the change of constitution in Cameroon.
Moreover, those individuals failed to attend several platform-USA preparatory meetings, to pay their contribution to the activities of the Platform-USA, but instead associated with some political parties and secessionist groups in the USA to prevent the political dominance of Platform-USA leaded by Corantin Talla and other dedicated Cameroonians in the US diaspora. Those dedicated Cameroonians, members of PLATFORM-USA (Diaspora Camerounaise pour l’Alternance en 2011), who regularly attended Platform-USA meetings and paid their dues, have remained loyal to the reel Platform-USA, the Platform-USA of actions and not talk, the Platform-USA who spearheaded the March 06 and March 14 platform-USA rallies in the DC and not the one that called for the boycott of those important Diaspora events.

The resolutions of May 12 Platform-USA emergency meeting as well as the resolutions of the April 19 meeting were upheld in light of the above-mentioned anti Platform-USA activities led by the individuals suspended by those resolutions, and because the representatives of the Civil Society Platform for Democracy in Cameroon (Platform-Kamga Hilaire) in the USA failed to abide by the terms of a May 14 conference call agreement reached in order to resolve the current dissidence crisis in Platform-USA. That agreement called for a temporary freeze of email sending by each party till a solution to the current crisis is found. Unfortunately, an email from Hilaire Kamga, who is determined to divide the Diaspora for unknown reasons, put an end to that agreement and opened the doors for more crisis within the Diaspora organization
