The miracle of SCA or another trojan horse.

FeaturedAmbazonian Flag

SCA is a new acronym, as if Ambazonians have not yet had their fill of acronyms.

SCA is the Southern Cameroons Alliance which, according to its MOU … yes another acronym, albeit an established one! brings a motley crew of misfits who should not even be able to come to an understanding with each other, never mind travelling thousands of miles to attempt to solve a problem they cannot even define in an agreed common way. If they could define it in an agreed way they would still be no nearer to being able to pretend to solve it as they would, then, have to achieve the feat of convincing La Republique du Cameroun to take them seriously.

Sorry to digress, but when faced with an intractable puzzle, what can one do?

SCA’s MOU claims to bring together various caucuses to continue to collaborate in the “fight for the historically justified self-governance of Southern Cameroons”. It is an eminently sensible move along the same lines as the Consultative Commission has followed – until the composition of the diverse caucuses is listed.

The MoU brings together the following caucuses:

• Pro-Independence Caucus – Advocating for full independence as the path to self-determination.

• Pro-Federalist Caucus – Advancing federalist solutions while upholding self-governance.

• Civil Society Caucus – Representing grassroots voices, prioritizing security, social

justice, and inclusive dialogue.

• Southern Cameroons Alliance (SCA) – Serving as the strategic coordinator and

facilitator for collaboration.

Any pro-independentists would already be within the Consultative Commission, whose common objective is “being independentists” and, therefore, proudly Ambazonian. Given that they cling to this as a key binding glue, it would be questionable how the independentists would join an alliance with not only federalists  but unionists as well. Fair enough the unionists are only on the logical subset that would not fit the “independentists” or “federalist” subsets, not having broken cover in their description on the press release.  Hopefully SCA will square this circle. If they are unionists, it will not be politic for them to basically trash La Republique du Cameroun’s GDN which, being “national”, was already by implication, “inclusive”! Also, how would they be able to look themselves in the mirror associating with “independentists” while trying to stay “loyal” to La Republique du Cameroun? Maybe they are not so much unionists as contortionists!

So like all bad designs, this bird-cage, designed by a form one child in her first design technology lesson has a few flaws, which militate against it working as a bird-cage or even a as collaboration platform.

Under normal circumstances, nobody would think to bring together these interests in a “common quest” as “nobody” would be able to muster an answer to “what is their common interest?”.

SCA must have a secret, which has managed to bring together these groups to sign the MOU. Of course it is noticeable that the independentist signature is not from any of the independentists leaders that Ambazonia News recognises, but Ambazonia News clearly is not all-knowing.

So logic says the SCA cannot survive a session in meetings as they would have exactly zero points of convergence, on which, to base a discussion. Ambazonia News concedes, on faith and nothing else, the miracle that they could hold their understanding. Now comes the question: “What does La République du Cameroun have to say?”

It is no secret what they[La République du Cameroun] would do with independentists – the original independentists leaders are in dungeons in Yaoundé. They [La République du Cameroun] also have a dislike of the mere violent word “federation”, so violent that they have been known to summon and intimidate even their own citizens for merely using the word.  So what is SCA going to do to get La Republique du Cameroun to budge? Is that a secret logic outside the norms of logic?

There has to be a secret, for if there weren’t Ambazonia News would have to speculate that SCA may be being optimistic in relying on the French (General’s) Ambassadors claims in Bamenda about an imminent “solution”. But the Ambassador said it was an internal solution so SCA will have its work cut out to keep the caucuses together and to entice La Republique du Cameroun to negotiate “internally” with a group that includes “federalists” and “independentists” even by name!

Logic is a bad thing!

As usual when SCA has gone Ambazonia will continue, watched over by the Watchman of Our Nation – The Most High God.

French “Trojan Horse” arrives in Bamenda, Report.

French Ambassador to LRC turns up in a thin disguise to fool the people of Bamenda

According to an unverified report, signed by Colbert Factor ” “The Anglophone Conflict Will be Resolved in the Months Ahead”, Thierry Marchand, French Ambassador to Cameroon “

It would appear the French are breaking cover in their colony as their Ambassador, General Thierry Marchand (Retd.) “has hinted that the eight-year-old Anglophone conflict, which has claimed thousands of lives and displaced many more in Cameroon’s two English-speaking regions, may soon come to an end.” While the LRC government has been asleep, it would appear the French have chosen to break cover and directly issue propaganda on behalf of their mentees.

The report claims that: ” During his second visit to Bamenda on Thursday, February 27, 2025, Ambassador Marchand stated that France, along with the entire European Union, is working diligently to implement a political solution to bring the conflict to a satisfactory conclusion. While he refrained from providing details on the strategies being put in place by Cameroon’s bilateral and multilateral partners, he emphasized that the conflict remains a Cameroonian issue requiring locally crafted solutions. “

It must be a diplomatic first for a “foreign” nation to implement a political project in a sovereign country which has not previously “hinted”, to borrow a word, at any such intentions or movements.

The report continues: “Ambassador Marchand’s statement offers a glimmer of hope for a region that has been plagued by violence and instability. The fact that France and the European Union are committed to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict is a positive step towards ending the crisis. However, the success of this endeavor depends on the willingness of all parties involved to work together towards a common goal.”

This comment must be directed at Gen (Ambassador) Marchand’s mentees, whose last diplomatic foray was to publicly humiliate the boss of Global Affairs Canada, the Canadian Minister of foreign affairs by disowning her announcement of outcome of Canadian facilitated “talks about talks”. In other sovereign nations, members of foreign diplomatic missions who reach out so far out of their mission would be on the next flight home before anyone could finish typing the words “violation of their status”, but the truth is Gen Marchand has a different status, since LRC – and other African “States” are actually French colonies in all bur name. Canada tries to maintain diplomatic niceties and gets burnt, the French break cover as colonial masters – what happens? Nothing yet…

According to the report, the Ambassador is also oblivious to the role of the French in creating and sustaining the conditions that generated the “crisis” as “The French Ambassador to Cameroon expressed optimism about France’s role in reconciling the people of the two English-speaking regions after the conflict ended. Speaking to the press at the end of his working visit to the Regional Office of the Franco-Alliance center at Bamenda’s Veterinary Junction, he highlighted the rich cultural heritage of the North West region as a potential avenue for reconciliation.” Yes, the French would seem to feel they are well placed to persuade their victims to reconcile! LRC is using the methods the French used to set up the proxies when they [French] carried out genocide against La République du Cameroun independentists. A few months after they issued a report to those very proxies about “the excesses” of their colonial repression their co-victims [of the French’s and their proxies], the UPC, the Ambassador is prancing around Bamenda in a local outfit.

As any “anglophone” will know, the French proxies in Yaoundé failed in so many infrastructure promises even when they promised to “personally supervise those projects” [think the elusive Ring Road] so the French are now so fed up with their proxies that they are taking over and “personally reconstructing” as the report continues: “The Ambassador emphasized the crucial role the Franco-Alliance center would play in rebuilding the region in the months ahead. He also dispelled common misconceptions about Franco-Alliance centers, noting that they are not solely dedicated to promoting the French language and culture. Instead, these centers exist in English-speaking countries across Africa and work to promote diverse cultures, reflecting France’s history of cultural diversity.”

And so Ambazonia News finally learns that the French are nice – they are not promoting their language and that they will solve the “crisis” in a few months, even though they have not bothered to let anybody know – and nor have their mentees in Yaounde. They are just nice. Eight years have passed, millions have been displaced, thousands killed, thousands of homes burnt, many children, including toddlers on their way to school, killed by their mentees. All that time they kept their counsel, but they were nice all along! Now they are breaking cover to help -and not promoting their language!

Finally the General upped sincerity to “hint” at the reasons for going out on a diplomatic limb: “Marchand regretted the impact of the ongoing conflict on French investment in the region … , which has been severely affected by the seven-year-long Anglophone crisis.” So that French miss their free hand at looting Ambazonian resources.

Another irony is that the French interfrence in Canada is now being quoted as case study for “solving” the “Anglophone Crisis”, as they like to refer to the Ambazonia Liberation Struggle, says the report: “France’s concern for minority welfare led them to advocate for greater autonomy for Quebec in Canada. Today, residents of the French-speaking region proudly identify as Quebec nationals within a united Canada. This sense of identity is acknowledged by the Canadian government, as evident in the Prime Minister’s recognition of Quebecers as Quebec nationals. ” French, which does not want to promote the French language, went to safeguard the rights of the people of Quebec including their right to French culture, coincidentally, including the French language. While Quebec enjoyed a distinct education system, among other autonomies, “the Anglophone Regions of Cameroun” found themselves facing French-speaking teachers in their chidrens’ classrooms and having to travel to Yaounde for the most mundane routines in life and the wiping of their identity when their identity was obliterated by renaming Cameroon to La République du Cameroun, the Country which Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia joined to form a Federation.

The Trojan horse was actually a misnomer as it was the Greeks who brought it, rather than the Trojans, who were the dupes.

The would-be dupes in this episode would be the Ambazonians, if they bring in the horse and beautify gifts from the Greeks, … sorry the French. But Ambazonians are not Trojans and the French are not as convincing as the ancient Greeks. They [Ambazonians] have seen enough of the French and know enough about the French and their mentees to fall for a smiling French man just because he decided to disguise himself and claim to be trying to promote their culture while asking them to sit tight in a dispensation which has been running a scheme to obviate that same culture! Even if Ambazonians were gullible there is no denying it
