Ambazonia’s Response to Biya’s Re-election: A Fragile Future

As expected, the hand-picked and dozy Constitutional Council announced Mr Biya as the winner of the 12^th October 2025 presidential poll in La République du Cameroun. The decision from a feeble would-be grandiose presentation had already been trailed and rejected by the already-wised-up electorate. For the week before the announcement, while Biyta’s proxies tried to “bring back” Tchiroma in “secret” negotiations in France, there was a fevered atmosphere of “not this time” as more and more PV’s showed a clear victory for Tchiroma, Mr Biya’s camp dismissing the evidence as “raw data”.

“Raw data” would be laughable in other contexts. In La République du Cameroun sounded as ominous as “guarantor of peace, youth interest, women’s interests”, the ideas which were postulated in Mr Biya’s “ambitions” for an 8^th term! Those Ambitions, with hindsight could be seen as threats, suggesting Mr was threatening to unleash his yet-more-misnamed “forces of law and order” on the “beneficiaries” of those electoral “ambitions”. The “ambitions” would not tally with a long “serving” president who is running a civil war against women, children and youths; has maintained a system of “only-the-old”, whose only objective is to survive. During the “campaign” , in which he did not campaign or even present his own candidature, he had to go to Europe for medical care, having failed to achieve in four decades, the simple ambition of creating one health facility to which he would entrust he care. In his last term and prior, women have lost babies in hospitals, many patients have been detained for bills … Even his proxies would not swallow his “ambitions”. In context, “raw data” – not yet cooked, not yet “processed”, not yet falsified.

“The people” have rejected Mr Biya’s “re-election” with [sporadic] marches of protest which have left Mr Biya and his proxies seeking ways to “exercise authority”, to the extent that they have gone to ridiculously petty lengths. One of the “targets” is reported to be Mr Biya’s self-proclaimed best supporter being stopped from entering Garoua and turned around to return to Yaounde. Yes, because “Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun”, Pr Messaga Nyamding was prevented, on arrival, from leaving Garoua Airport and sent back on the same aircraft.

This suggests Mr Biya’s cronies were hopping to be breaking more limbs by now. Instead, they are left waiting. Ambazonia News does understand there have been several deaths. The atmosphere, though is still expectant.

Mr Biya’s regime is in place still – just. It is very much devoid of any power. It is not in power. Even the traditional “letter of congratulations” has not arrived from mentor France!

Imagine being in office but not in power, looking for ways to “show” or exercise power.

By contrast, there are more voices openly challenging the regime but cleverly not presenting the regime with the fodder they would dearly love to go at! The Camerounese have their voices back and have finally caught up with the idea that they must run their own lives and livelihoods. Ambazonia News will keep tabs on the various ways they device to nudge Mr Biya’s regime aside.

This story is not yet told! The regime is going to die of idleness and self doubt at this rate.

What should Ambazonians do?

Nothing new. There was never going to be a speedy solution whatever the result in La République du Cameroun’s poll. The fragility of Biya’s regime does present an opening.

Ambazonia does not to clean up the slur that Mr Biya “received 86%” of votes in Northern Ambazonia. Though this clearly fictional, the authors still need to account for the damage to the memory of all the ARF, women and children who have fallen to La République du Cameroun’s genocide.

From Ambazonia’s perspective Mr Biya’s “victory” has the one positive of keeping our number of choices at one. We still need to get our country back and one more year of experience only helps.

We need to stride out now more focused on what we need to do and do it with, for want of a better phrase, sang froid, deliberately aiming our efforts for the most impact and effectiveness in uprooting the illegal and forceful occupier.

Navigating Post-Electoral Violence in LRC: Ambazonian Guidelines

In the nick of time, The Ambazonian Consultative Commission, CC, has released the finalized version of its crisis plan to respond to the tensions in the neighbouring nation of La Republique du Cameroun.

The document contains survival tips for Ambazonians in the event that post-electoral tensions spill over into violence.

Though some Ambazonians might see an advantage in joining protests/demonstrations to support Tchiroma, as a potential proponent of a negotiated settlement of the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle, the CC prioritizes role in safeguarding the lives and livelihoods of Ambazonians who have already suffered nine years while the citizens of La Republique du Cameroun looked on, sometimes even reveling in the ” neutralisation” of Ambazonian youths and children as their military propagandists used to gamify their futile attempt to suppress the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle.

The Most High God continues to Watch over Ambazonia.

Tchiroma “Wins” but … Biya could still be announced.

Featured

“Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun” is a summary of an electoral process which, in any other corner of the world would not be under discussion, never mind “in the balance”.

But, as “Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun”, Tchiroma’s victory, like those of Fru Ndi in 1992 and of Kamto in 2018, is still in “doubt” despite every “indication” and reasonable observation showing it as the inevitable outcome.

Mr Biya did not campaign, anymore than he did in 2018 when he “won” through control of the football, the goal posts, the referee, the match delegate … and a back stop of the “homologation committee”. “What is a homologation committee?”, some might ask. In Cameroun football, there is a committee which can change he results of league games in football, sometimes weeks after the final whistle, no jokes!

The ”doubt” over Mr Tchiroma’s victory is purely down to the “convention” that the “homologation” committee has to announce official results. Sorry we are confused at Ambazonia News! In the case of presidential polls, the equivalent of the homologation committee (of football) is the “Constitutional Council” a backstop in the true sense to ensure that the RDPC, really in this case Mr Biya would be announced as the “winner”. In football, when the homologation committees change results they cite “irregularities” and that is quite rare, but suffice it to note that they really do exist and can be dusted off in “emergencies”. The “Constitutional Council” usually stands in to “reject irregularities” raised by contenders. For instance, they would reject the irregularity that the election process is handled all over La Republique du Cameroun and in the Diaspora, literally, and managed by functionaries whose continued employment relies on patronage and membership of Mr Biya’s RDPC. Even when they cart off ballots to other locations out of sight and regularity, this homologation committee rejects complaints. Nominally the Constitutional Council is a separate arm of La Republique du Cameroun’s system, but in reality, the members are all appointed by Mr Biya and have membership of the RDPC. Hence, even though Mr Biya did not present his candidature or campaign, it is still a real possibility that he could be announced as the “winner”!

In addition to not declaring his candidature or campaigning, he has a record which would, in any other country, have shamed him out of attempting to run again – even by proxy. As “Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun” his proxies announced his candidacy for him, issued his campaign on “high instructions”, started a campaign of intimidation for him and generally set about preparing the ground for the ~~homologation committee~~ Constitutional Council to announce for him again. MINAT, for instance has been threatening all and sundry with the comical idea of “the law” even though “Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun”!

The bad news for RDPC this time is that Mr Biya is not physically up to it, never mind mentally! He had to be transported to Europe in the middle of the campaign for medical care, which, in any other electoral campaign where it could not be said “Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun”, would spell doom for any candidate, even ones who were not responsible for not having ONE medical institution in the country where they could entrust their health care. Mr Biya has been in charge for nearly a half-century and cannot boast of being able to trust any health care institution created on his watch! But “Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun”.

His proxies also tried to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear when they tried to portray Mr Biya as the “guarantor of security, women’s and young people’s interests”.

In La Republique du Cameroun, the job of youths and women is to come out and dance when Mr Biya returns from medical treatment in Europe. Clearly not all of them can do that so the rest are unemployed and unable to make ends meet. The irony of being 92, unable to handle a “run” for another seven-year term, having to leave the ~~manipulation~~ run to proxies would appear to be too subtle, given that tag and the knowledge that the top of his “out-going” administration is populated by sickly over-aged individuals, who all benefit from being able to by-pass the lack of medical institutions they can trust in their country.

In Ambazonia, which RPDC and Mr Biya like to claim to be part of La Republique du Cameroun, Mr Biya has had a lot of poor people’s children risking their lives to kill, among others, youth, women and children of Ambazonia – a logical part, were his tag to be credited, of the groups whose interests his proxies are proposing he would guarantee.

“Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun” is why there is even any tension over Mr Tchiroma’s victory when Mr Biya did not declare a candidacy, campaign or have any record to show for his previous tenure, instead only having a record that would, were “Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun” not applicable, have spared everyone his name on the ballot!

Ambazonia News will re-post our Consultative Commission and Ambazonian Leadership Pact’s crisis plan. This would appear to be sorely needed to prepare our citizens as the signs are ominous and getting more so with the illogical “Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun” tension still hanging in the air like an over-staying inept, incompetent, corrupt dictator.

Ambazonian Prisoners of Conscience petition Commonwealth Chief on Election Observers in LRC

Featured

The Ambazonian Prisoners of Conscience (APOC) have petitioned the Secretary General of the Commonwealth, The Right Honourable Shirley Ayorkor Botchwey to withdraw observers from the La République du Cameroun presidential poll on 12^th October 2025.

Through Counsel, they argue that the Commonwealth’s good name is under threat of rolling in the mud due to La Republique du Cameroun’s conduct of the genocidal war of aggression against Ambazonian civilians over the last 8-years.

Among other human rights and international law abuses, the APOC list village burnings, mass displacements and the refoulement of some of their number with the complicity of other Commonwealth member states.

The 8 year old conflict has seen massacres in villages, such as Ngarbuh where civilian women and children were killed by units of La République du Cameroun’s forces, who first denied it, then later blamed a “bavure” and instituted an infinite investigation.

They have also fired into school-run traffic respectively in Buea and Bamenda, killing two kindergarten girls, killings for which no responsibility or justice have been seen or done.

By agreeing to validate those elections and lending their name to a tainted process, the Commonwealth risks confirming the perception that their much vaunted values only apply to the white citizens of the club, as they have consistently tolerated abuses by dictators in black member states, regularly validating dubious polls.

The La République du Cameroun poll is already tainted by the fact that the favourite incumbent has not appear either to declare his candidacy nor to campaign. It is, therefore, going to be unreasonable for the Commonwealth to line itself behind the authors of such an “irregular” process and still claim to be the promoters of democracy and good governance, quite apart from having tolerated the ordeal of the APOCS over so many years.

Mr. Tchiroma’s Missteps: Ambazonian Sovereignty Explained

Featured

As La République du Cameroun approaches their impossible conundrum of a poll, contender Tchiroma has been recounting what he “knows” of Ambazonian history – very kind of him. Ambazonians should beware and not be moved by such faint flattery. For one thing the flattery carefully avoids the important facts of Ambazonian history.

While Tchorima did state that La République du Cameroun gain independence before Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia), he omitted to point out that La République du Cameroun gain her thence frozen international borders on that fateful 1st of January 1960, meaning that while La République du Cameroun is known as La République du Cameroun, Ambazonian cannot be legally or logically within her borders nor, therefore, fall under La République du Cameroun’s sovereignty. Knowing this, Mr Tchiroma, would not be able to make the promises he made or continue to imply that when/if he became President of La République du Cameroun, that he would grant favours to Ambazonia under any assumption of “internal solution” of a wholly external conflict. As the legal position stands, Ambazonia is a separate country from La République du Cameroun so any negotiations cannot proceed from any idea that La Republique du Cameroun could grant a federation to a separate “state of equal status”.

The second omission by Mr Tchiroma was that the federation, he rightly recounted, was never signed off and, therefore, both states are as if the status was still frozen at the negotiation stages between 1960 and 1961. Had the federation been signed off and respected, the provisions/terms would not have allowed any changes the form of the federal state without the separate majority approvals of both states. That is, West Cameroon and East Cameroon would have needed to separately vote for a change before it could be instituted. Even the idea of holding a referendum would have had to be agreed separately by both separate “states of equal status” in their parliaments before any such referendum could be held. The Federation already suffering from a lack of legitimacy was further abused by a “member” state against rights of the other. Mr Tchiroma left this out from his account, which means he would continue this illegality were he to somehow emerge as the “winner” of La République du Cameroun’s poll.

As if the lack of treaty and the illegal referendum were not enough, Mr Tchiroma also glossed over the 1984 decree which effectively seceded La République du Cameroun from the dubious “United Republic of Cameroon”. Though it is clear that the URC itself was a tenuous entity owing to its origins, having emerged from an incomplete federation, illegally transformed, it had the small merit of not being the La Republique du Cameroun which had borders established in 1960 without Souther Cameroons (Ambazonia). So Mr Biya open a one-way door and dragged La Republique through. The only state with the right and prerogative to choose whether to open that door again from the other side if Ambazonia. La République du Cameroun had has no further sovereignty over Ambazonia and neither Mr Tchiroma nor any other contender in La Republique du Cameroun’s poll will have any legal or logical power to grant any favours to Ambazonia under any idea of a federation, especially that state having established and demonstrated that disadvantages of any association over the last six decades.

Mr Tchiroma will also be aware that HCB 28/92 established that La République du Cameroun were illegal forceful occupiers of Ambazonia, a ruling and conundrum which remains unresolved. If Mr Tchiroma or any other runners in the La République du Cameroun poll are unaware they need to source a copy of Le Messager to peruse the ruling. Ambazonia’s self-determination is external and is non-negotiable, belonging solely to the sovereign people of Ambazonia.

Whatever promises or nods occur or are implied between any parties originating from Ambazonia, Ambazonian sovereignty cannot be traded by any of the fifth column who may want to make-believe that they represent Ambazonia in La République du Cameroun.

What Mr Tchiroma should do is promise to pursue the aborted negotiations started in Canada where Ambazonian Leaders were available to negotiate at an appropriate status external to La Republique. As Mr Tchiroma said the internal so-called “great national dialogue” was inappropriate and had no power as it wrongly sought to cast Ambazonia as internal to a state with separate far-removed borders. Even the presence of some presumptuous fifth columnists did not translate to any king of Ambazonian representation.

There is no such thing as NOSO in La République du Cameroun – your borders do not extend that far.

The Most High God is the Watchman of Ambazonia.

For meaningful peace negotiations start from the legally right premise.

Ambazonia News expects all international partners of good faith to come to the aid of La République du Cameroun’s political classes to get them to the position of accepting the legal reality that they seem to willfully ignore, and turn a blind eye to seemingly hoping “everything will be alright” even if the HCB 28/92 is still pending.

Evaluating Libii’s Promises Amidst Election Tensions

Featured

According to certain LRC media Mr Biya has returned from his “private trip” home to Europe. He is still invisible less than a fortnight to a vote he is projected to win. So confident “is” he that he has promised reforms to “establish” certain prerogatives for “represented” parties. As usual those media are making a silk purse of Mr Biya’s generous and benevolent gesture. At Ambazonia News we see no value or logic in exploring the audacious stance of somebody who is so unqualified that he is employing proxies for every aspects of “his campaign”. But “Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun”, right? Luckily, the Most High would have it, Mr Biya ensured that Ambazonia is legally outside the reach of his absurd machinations.

Meanwhile validator Libii appeared in an iron circle in Bamenda where he promised to solve what he called “the Anglophone Crisis”.

To be fair he confirmed that the Ambazonian Restoration Fighters Plus have the nation on lock-down as he listed all the institutions that are closed and acknowledged that his photo-op was a false and misleading image as it was a non-representative production, being untenable for a “non-candidate”.

His promised “solution”, like those of his fellow candidate/validators, assumed that Ambazonia is still part of LRC, ignoring HCB 28/92. He stated that he would “hold more great national dialogues”, presumably as the same sort of benevolent condescension that Mr Biya attempted. Clearly he will not “win” as he also “revealed” that the vote is likely to be “rigged, like previous votes”, so he is the fortunate position of not having to deliver on his promised but simply collect his validation fee from RDPC/France.

Mr Libii should peruse HCB 28/92 before he makes utterly incongruous and undeliverable promises. Any of his ades and those of his fellow validators should avail themselves of the HCB 28/92 which is available in Le Messager in French though a first link search.

At Ambazonia News we know that the Ambazonian Leaders Pact expect the resolution of the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle will be eventually be through dialogue – not of the type Mr Libii, no doubt, sincerely preached, but from the premise of external self-determination. It is important the “gouvernants” and aspiring “gouvernants” should get on the right and realistic page of the story and skill up for the only possible solution process.

It should be remembered that La Republique du Cameroun has internationally defined borders established at independence on the 1st January 1960 nearly a year before the defunct and dissolved Federal Republic of Cameroon was concocted from the would-be Ambazonia LRC as separate states of equal status. Of course the federation was never signed off before LRC seceded in 1984 [HCB28/92]

Ignoring the reality that Ambazonian legally lies outside LRC makes Me Libii’s attempts to woo Ambazonians nine years after their continuous suffering at the hands of his country men not just a callous insult but a sore standout as a typical carpet-bagger who has the dry-eye to come and shed crocodile tears just because he wants to earn his corn from RDPC and France for validating their charade, conveniently forgetting the flaws in the elections processes going back to the last vote!

At Ambazonia News we urge all Ambazonians, who we know to be already committed to their own self-determination, external to LRC, to continue to hold on for our collective minds are made and our faith will see us through.

Our faith lies in the Most High God who is Watchman of our Nation.
