The Coalition of SCNC-UK and SCYL agreed to work together in a spirit of honesty, focus and respect for the fundamental position of each group. The Coalition agreed that decisions on major policy issues concerning our struggle for a separate homeland, shall be agreed upon base on momentary majority and the principle of consensus that reflects practicable reality with a well thought out mechanism of implementation. The Coalition Observes with utter dismay: That Her Britannic Majesty has used the Common Wealth and the Foreign Office to issue numerous derogatory declarations absorbing her sad responsibility patterning to the plight of our people in the economic, socialcultural and political realm. The Coalition empowers the Department of Diplomacy to explore every means to force the United Kingdom to reverse this standpoint and assume her responsibility and take active steps towards addressing the present political impasse prevailing over our homeland The impunity, recklessness and heavy-handedness with which La Republique du Cameroun has been prosecuting and maintain the occupation and empowers the department of defence to explore every avenue in the defence of our people, our land and our way of life. The distortion of facts, manipulation of international public opinion by the occupying regime and empowers the department of Press and Communications to leave no stone unturned in the education of our people and international institutions on the facts of history and the brutality of the occupying regime. While recognising the efforts of the different movement and our people, the Coalition calls for unity on purpose and determination in our resistance against occupation and our fight for a separate homeland. We extend our appreciation to all Southern Cameroonians and sympathisers in the Diaspora, especially in France, the UK, Belgium and the bravery of Southern Cameroons citizens in the occupied homeland in their continuous defiance of the occupiers. Our people should understand that the fight against oppression is long and tedious but no matter the suffering the price and sacrifice for freedom is worth it. The Conference further endorses the following: That henceforth no decisions, audiences, proclamations, representation and or contacts should be negotiated or pursued by any (individual or group) without due endorsement or clearance from the committee set up by this London Declaration.

That all the leaders of the SCNC should keep their house clean and united for the good of the Southern Cameroons. Also, that they should within a time frame of one year call for general election to pave the way for serious and genuine business.

That diplomatic meetings and conference where Southern Cameroons is a participant can be attended by delegates in the Diaspora to avoid the excess spending to fly leaders from the Southern Cameroons which could be diverted to alleviate the plight of our people.

The conference also endorsed a Plan "B "which is a fall back point giving that diplomacy must be pursued by the threat of force and remains the only fall back point should diplomacy fails. Conference participants agreed our people have the right to defend themselves in the face of an attack or continues occupation.
