A major worry of opponents to union with La République du Cameroun prior to the 1961 plebiscite was the fear-inspiring brutality of the former French territory’s security forces that most inhabitants of the British Southern Cameroons had heard so much about.
  
One of the first acts of the president of the Cameroun Republic, who also became the first president of the Federal Republic of Cameroon, Ahmadou Ahidjo, was to rush in heavily-armed troops to the former Southern Cameroons where the people were accustomed to polite police officers who did not carry guns.

The Southern Cameroons question is a problem of international law; it is not the domestic problem of one of the parties to the conflict; it is not about the break up of a state; it is not about a group of people within their own state claiming that they have a right to self-determination. It is an issue of restitution; it is an issue of ending years of rape and armed robbery by one people against another; it is an issue of enforcing the respect of territorial boundaries inherited at independence; it is an issue of the illegal acquisition of territory with the attendant colonization of the true owners of the territory. In short, it is a question of forcing the aggressor and expansionist nation to retreat to its rightful international borders. Throughout human history, the answer to colonization and the illegal acquisition of territory has never been decentralization, good governance, power-sharing and so on; the answer to colonization and the subjugation of one people by another is always and ever decolonization.
