For a time now the chorus of “the suffering of our people” has accompanied schemes and processes to get La République du Cameroun to the negotiating table “to stop the suffering of our people”.
The idea of getting La République du Cameroun to the table has been in the air since the Swiss Process and was present in the Canada Pre-talks which followed.
The positive of these micro overtures is that La République du Cameroun can be assumed to have recognised the need for a negotiation, though it has to be underlined that their idea of negotiation will not be the same as the Ambazonians’.
The ways of getting La République du Cameroun to the table start with the obvious proven one -namely “unbearable heat on the ground”. This proven as it was responsible for “enticing” La République du Cameroun to venture onto the Swiss and then The Canada Pre-talks. Even then, it has to be factored in that La République du Cameroun could use such encounters to play for time and wait for Ambazonian coalitions to fracture as Ambazonian still sadly has many gullible “leaders”.
The gullible leaders, though talking independence and probably meaning it display the naivety to have “bringing La République du Cameroun to the table” as an end it itself. They do not consider what will keep La République du Cameroun on the table and compel them to yield to the idea of Ambazonian Independence. La République du Cameroun This was PRAP’s ingenuity. To be fair to PRAP, they then figured that such a low bar was far removed from any idea of immediate independence so they honestly postulated the idea of stages, including a referendum in the future to determine that. While this might very well attract La République du Cameroun, it would empower anglophone unionists and give La République du Cameroun the leeway to buy self-interests and pervert any future referendum, assuming the process got there. The immediate danger is, in reality have to complete the “lure” by playing “dead”… and playing dead could engender actual death of the Liberation Struggle. It would tell the day-to-day victims that the leaders are trading in their condition and willing to callously risk their lives and livelihoods on trusting a La République du Cameroun which has definitively proved their untrustworthiness.
On the Ambazonian spectrum there is a more ludicrous group even than PRAP. They are the independentists who also use the “lure La République du Cameroun to the negotiating table” mantra but do not either think about the aftermath or talk about it. Worse, they too wish to rely on diplomatic overtures with only a very flimsy tenuous reliance on “heat on the ground”. They would be less successful than PRAP in luring La République du Cameroun as they would, being independentists, have to use the words “Ambazonia” and “Independence” – the ultimate repellent to La République du Cameroun! Hopefully times helps them to realise -unless they do already realise but have undisclosed intentions.
The simple clear and surest way is the “heat on the ground” which has the effect of communicating to all key stakeholders. If properly targetted and applied along the “Daring Move” parameters, heat will quickly compel not only La République du Cameroun but any of their backers with interests on Ambazonian soil.
They would also enthuse the Ambazonian citizens who have to live the daily oppression of La République du Cameroun’s occupation forces and show them that the leadership gets it and is on the right page to take the Liberation Struggle over the victory line.
Whichever method is used to bring La République du Cameroun to the table, it is crucial to have it figured out how to keep them there and get the desired result from the negotiation. Knowing that La République du Cameroun will employ the simple time-wasting method and wait for Ambazonians to tire, it is critical to ensure that “heat” persists and that the practical independence reigns on the ground.
Complimentary commitment demands that diaspora make their own part of the commitment the only way they can, which is to contribute material and time to support and communicate commitment to the civilians on the ground. On the ground, the civilians and the ARF+ have to have a mutuality which makes them one. The ARF+ will actually go out to bat in self-defence but the civilians need to implement Ambazonian independence by by-passing La République du Cameroun officialdom at every opportunity, especially when it comes to the education system. Ambazonia News is consulting to bring more practical suggestions for by-passing the La République du Cameroun-controlled system still choking the social progress of Ambazonian children with their corrupt assimilation system.
The Ambazonian Liberation Struggle is fateful and watched over by the Watchman of our nation. On their side La République du Cameroun is doing everything to antagonise Ambazonians and convince them, as if they still needed convincing, that the two countries are incompatible. On the Ambazonian side the PRAPs of this world, whatever iteration, are thwarted by, first the “lack of anyone at home in La République du Cameroun”, and the sheer illogic of their schemes whether to Ambazonian eyes or to La République du Cameroun’s.
