Understanding the Ambazonian Independence Pact of 2025

The Leaders Summit

It is no longer news that Ambazonian Leaders have met and signed the Indepdence Pact of Easter 2025.

In this post, Ambazonia News attempts to fill in the gaps and answer some questions.

As usual, we welcome more insights from more informed sources.

Origins

The Consultative Commission is the old Coordination Team which come to life immediately in the mele of initiatives for conferences post the [predictable] collapse of the Canadian Pre-Talks. The collapse was when La République du Cameroun publicly berated Global Affairs Canada, in effect calling, its boss and Canada’s foreign Minister equivalent … names. La République du Cameroun’s actions were entirely predictable because they have no negotiating position, even if they had “anyone at home” and, secondly, because one of their strategies is to out-wait the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle. The have done this through many schemes designed mainly to time-waste, playing for time in the hope that the momentum of the Ambazonian Liberation would diminish. That is why their response to Melanie Joly, for she was the GAC boss who first disclosed holding of the Pre-talks was utterly predictable.

Before that they had ridiculed the Swiss Process, of infamous memory, similarly, including through Justice Minister Momo’s ludicrous attempt to paint the diplomatic bungling as the clever work of Mr Biya to thwart the international community’s pressure to resolve the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle. That particular bungle, if anything, served to show that the international community was not only interested, contrary to popular perception, but involved in attempts to solve it. It is for another post to address the appropriateness and suitability of the involvement.

Other delaying tactics include the GDN, and its baby, Special Status. GDN was neither a dialogue nor great, being more of a monologue of hand-picked RDPC stooges who, just to be certain, were not allowed to use the word “federation”, which in turn, by then, was no longer a popular concept among Ambazonian Circles!

Maybe the last overt delaying tactic was the infamous reconstruction plan which turned out to be, like most La République du Cameroun projects, another embezzlement machine.

The Coordination Team, therefore was the Ambazonian response designed to consult Ambazonians, establish their preferences and aspirations in order to inform how the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle should be steered thereafter.

The report of the consultation is published and available to download from this link.

The Pact

  1. It is the outcome of the consultations that our Coordination Team carried out with our people, after several abortive attempts to move towards a negotiated settlement, which have resoundingly come out in favour of external self-determination – Independence.
  2. The Agreement shows the maturity in the Liberation Struggle after reflecting on many natural learning points and the appeals from the people
  3. It is a pact to collaborate to act in a more coherent and cohesive manner to expedite Ambazonian Independence and Freedom. By collaborating, Ambazonian Leaders will demonstrate to the citizens, La République du Cameroun and the international community that they are committed and intent on staying the course and taking the Liberation Struggle over the victory line. The necessary impulses will be applied to nudge LRC towards the realization that Ambazonian minds are made up, resolve solid and their faith strong and driving them to Freedom.

How it came about

After eight years of improvising the best they could in a struggle for which they were not prepared, which they couldn’t even claim to have been ill-prepared for, it was, still is, natural that they would stumble. They now understand that they have to get up each time they stumble and respond to the cries of our people to stand up collectively to the oppression and end the [illegal] occupation. They must hold their nerve and be mindful that La République du Cameroun’s ways of dealing with the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle include propaganda, some of which tries the deception that they are failing. Instead experience teaches us that Ambazonia is winning as even the La République du Cameroun’s worst excesses of terror and intimidation have come and done: village burnings, massacres, Moja…, “elites” have all proved failures and instead served to demonstrate how incompatible La Republique du Cameroun is to Ambazonia.

While [then] Southern Cameroons had a multitude of democratically elected Prime Minsters and peaceful transitions in less that ten years, La Republque du Cameroun is stuck on two President’s , non of whom have ever been democratically elected, for over six decades!

While Southern Cameroons ran an efficient public service providing utilities and maintaining infrastructure for social progress, La Republique du Cameroons, after six decades continues to regress and shows no embarrassment, rather pride, in being so backwards that they have to evacuate their ailing “leadership” overseas for simple health care.

Why it came about.

It is necessary for our people to access the same opportunities that all other people do. We need to end the skewed and corrupt system which has reduced our people to abject poverty as second class citizens in a chronically corrupt and incompetent regime where they literally have zero opportunities for social growth.

Our Ambazonian children are very talented and we owe it to them and humanity to harness those skills and talent for humanity’s collective future on an equal footing.

Ambazonia must emerge from the dark shadow of La République du Cameroun and realise her destiny of a bright and prosperous future in the community of nations.

We will work diligently and with conviction, knowing that we are linking arms to regain and possess our country. We will keep improving our ways and getting straight back up every time if we stumble. We are maturing into a nation relying on the resilience which has seen us to this stage even in the face of a clear perceived imbalance of power

Ambazonian Liberation is a righteous course. The Most High God is the Watchman of our Nation
