Ambazonian Education – the question of decolonisation. “Look West!”

DESC, the Interim Government’s Department for Education Strategic Collaboration has put forward some answers to questions about the future of Ambazonian Education. The summary is that Ambazonia will “look West” for the immediate term to solve the most pressing issue of La République du Cameroun’s continued interference with our children’s futures.

First the questions. Where is the Ambazonian Curriculum? How are our children going to be assessed and certified so that they can progress in life? How can we help? These are some of the key questions which have been tabled in APP meetings hosted by the IG to open itself to accountability in line with its “Action and Accountability”, AA, doctrine. For memory, AA, along with Building Bridges, BB, and Complementary Commitment, CC, are the pillars on which the IG manages her prosecution of the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle.

Back to DESC on Education and the way forward for Ambazonian Institutions. DESC is encouraged by the proliferation of Community Schools in Ambazonia as they show the people’s vote against La République du Cameroun’s meddling. Until now, the big question has been the issue of examination and certification with the incongruous situation that Ambazonian Community schools have had to informally seek certification from La République du Cameroun’s appointed boards. DESC expects that the long term terminal goal for Ambazonia is to establish independent and competitive Ambazonian Exam boards to run assessment and certification for secondary education, allowing Ambazonian students to gain access to higher education institutions and universities worldwide. In the short term the most viable solution will be to seek certification, initially as external candidates, from WAEC, the West African Examination Council, and eventually, medium term, to establish Ambazonian membership of WAEC so that WAEC can run local affiliated centres.

Before further questions, Ambazonia does not need to be “recognised” to exercise the right to education and self-governance – look at Somaliland. The step away from La République du Cameroun in this domain is the next and probably most psychologically difficult but is the logical break that will see La République influence even through their fifth columnists, who like to be described as “elites”, dwindle. On this step DESC is appealing to all Ambazonian Independentist movements to collaborate by supporting all the community schools they support to make this break. At the very least they should align their charges towards this separate route from La République du Cameroun.

At primary level, our community schools can expect further orders once DESC has compiled information on the options for assessment.

On the question “how can we help?” all Ambazonians and friends of Ambazonia can contribute their expertise, knowledge and experience to help our children, learn and develop their minds in line with all other children in every other nation on our planet. If you are a specialist in E-learning, or know how to deliver such material Ambazonia needs you. If you know an organisation which is willing to donate such materials to our schools on G0 or in refugee camps in G1, Ambazonia needs you. Think that books are the past? No. Ambazonian children need them on G0 and G1. Our children need to know that we are thinking of them. Nothing is insignificant.

The Most High God is the Watchman of Ambazonia.

NIGER :: NIGERIAN HEAD OF STATE CALLS FOR REPAYMENT OF FRENCH LOOTTING IN AFRICA

Niger, it should be recalled, was under threat from ECOWAS, which proposed to invade Niger “to restore democratic rule” in a country where Uranium is produced but most of the population do not have access to electricity.

The main beneficiary of this mineral was France who, as in their other African colonies, had the monopoly position of having first refusal to Niger’s resources as well as being the sole conduit by which they could sell any products.

Incidentally, ECOWAS has been stalling on its ECO project. It is a no-brainer scheme to implement a single currency in the West African block but which has, as is the likely evolution of any pro-African project, slowed right down to zero speed. Before this the negotiations, surprise surprise, involved France. Yes the same France which is so far away from the location of ECOWAS and not an African country in any sense. A single currency would simplify trade no-end, much like the euro does in Europe so why is the ECO stalling?

Well the reason for their [French] involvement is that their colonies are members of ECOWAS – of course, they would prefer those colonies to been referred to as “former colonies” even though they have had control of those colonies’ “currency” along with those of the colonies in central Africa; as well as the reserves of all of those colonies. Hence the advent of the ECO would, should anyway, spell a logical end to the French colonial arrangement. And that is why France is at the table, some might say, throwing sand in all the gullible flattered African partners.

Hence when the military took over in Niger and made clear they wished to break with France, it did not occur to ECOWAS that their threats and mobilization to basically restore French hegemony in Niger by invading a fellow African country at the instigation their European partner was “odd”. They insisted that “democracy must be protected”. of course not the people, who Ambazonia News imagines are the people in the phrase “A government of the people, for the people by the people”. ECOWAS thought Niger’s people should continue to produce uranium and continue to hand it over to another country and live in abject poverty as long as “democracy was protected”.

The invasion was never really likely! Not even flattered African “leaders” are so daft – well, not all of them.

Now according to this quoted article on camer.be:

<<Begin quote>>

Brigadier General Abdourahamane Tiani, Head of State of Niger, recently made a strong statement, demanding that France recognize and repair the damage caused by more than six decades of plundering of African resources. In an exclusive interview broadcast on national television and relayed by African media, the Head of State underlined the importance of the currency as a symbol of sovereignty, recalling the years of spoliation of the continent’s resources.

According to the Burkina Faso press agency, Tiani declared: “France has despoiled us for more than 107 years and it must pay in cash the debts of 65 years of systematic plundering of our resources and the 42 years, we will find a timetable for let us be even with France.”

Referring to the creation of a single currency for the countries of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES), the Nigerien Head of State indicated that this decision would be taken in due time. Furthermore, he criticized the persistence of certain member states in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), stressing that this hinders the exit from this organization, which has become obsolete since 1990 according to him.

In the same context, the Head of State insisted on the fact that currency is a symbol of sovereignty, and affirmed that his country is engaged in a process aimed at recovering its total sovereignty. He also called for a reassessment of the recent history of African states, with the objective of making decisions in the interest of the people of the continent, firmly denouncing the “cash cow” status that France would have imposed on several African nations.

General Tiani clarified that the creation of a currency specific to the Alliance of Sahel States is a crucial step towards economic decolonization, and assured that the member states of the organization are equipped with experts to make decisions. necessary at the appropriate time. “

La République du Cameroun, working to their French mentors’ playbook, called it a bavure and then relied the international community’s silent complicity to continue to peddle the idea that it was a normal blunder that any country’s security forces could commit in “normal operations”.

We are not holding our breath for “justice”. Instead, we will work on attaining the reality of Ambazonian Independence and dignity so that all those losses and the litany of indignities inflicted on our people will not continue.

#JusticeForVictimsOfNgarbuhMassacre

Feb 11 2024 – IG warns Ambazonians of Likely LRC schemes.

La République du Cameroun seems to think that march-passes are “something” to prove normalcy.

It goes without saying that Ambazonians rejected “normalcy” way back in 2017 and embraced their independence and dignity.

Try as La République du Cameroun might, they have not been able to convince even the black legs who are tempted to collect their cash to deliver nothing. Well, apart from a cover for “les gouvernants’ ” embezzlement schemes across the border in their country, even as they have embarked on extracting blood from stones with huge price hikes for their poor.

They will, no doubt try again this year.

Under Daring Move guidelines, ARF+ are authorised to secure the dignity and sovereignty of Ambazonia from the La République du Cameroun’s illegal occupiers at all cost, protected by Ambazonia’s right to external self-determination which has variously been established in Banjul by the African Commission; in Bamenda by the Bamenda High Court in its judgement HCB 28/92, to name but these two.

Black legs and all other allies and cronies of La République du Cameroun are a legitimate targets whose time has come. The IG is warning all Ambazonia to avoid being the scapegoats this weekend.

The Most High God continues to be the Watchman of our Nation.

IG President to address Ambazonia

Marianta Njomia, IG President, is on ARF-TV to address Ambazonia at the end of 2023 on 31/12/23.

This year has been marked by fevered activity in various bids to address the perceived lack of unity of Ambazonian entities.

President Njomia has consistently insisted that the Ambazonian Independentists, whichever groups they affiliate with do have a unity if purpose in working for Ambazonia’s complete and unconditional independence, even if the methods are diverse.

The President notably signalled the Daring Move early in September 2023 in support of the idea that Ambazonia’s Independence drive will advance best on the back of ground actions more than on a grand conference of a spectrum of people from “unionists” through “federalists” to some Independentists.

Ambazonia News will be keeping a close eye of the president’s review of 2023.

The Most High God and Ambazonian ancestors continue to guide the ARF+ and all Ambazonian Independentists.

Merry Christmas, Ambazonia!

We give thanks and praises to the Most High God, the Watchman of Ambazonia.

Our dignity and identity grow by the year.

Ambazonia News wishes all Ambazonians Merry Christmas.

If you are one of those wearing our colours in your undergarments so far keep the faith, we are getting there! Next year we shall be able to proclaim our nationality with more and more dignity in front of all witnesses.

Daring Move Lessons and Initial Assessment

Daring Move was signaled by IG President Marianta in September.

In the immediate following time period there was an uptick in hostile nudges on the occupiers to leave our land.

The evidence shows that that uptick is continuing with widespread actions across most of Ambazonia.

The response from La Republique du Cameroun has been to activate and intensify the fifth column of people popularly known as “black legs”.

Our response to black legs is to sanction the right of ARF+ to prioritise their safety. One of the criteria for the Daring Move is that its integrity and effectiveness depends on the safety of our ARF+ and they will be backed under international law to ensure their safety at all cost, in order to ensure the effectiveness and success of the Daring Move.

Black legs constitute a legitimate target for being clear and present impediment to the Daring Move through their threats to the integrity and safety of the ARF+ and, thence, to our people and nation. The IG will back our ARF+ to protect our people and nation and themselves from the black legs.

To all black legs, whether you call yourself ‘elites’ or unionists, your time is up. You are no longer to approach or threaten any of our ARF. Neither are we tolerating any “advice” to go to DDR.

Beware our Nation Ambazonia is here to stay and our Self-defence forces have legal rights under our internationally recognized entitlement to self-defence from hostile and illegal occupation. Our external self-determination is enshrined and locked and our nation will deal with those threats on a war footing.

Black legs you are on notice that our ARF have orders and authorisation to protect the integrity of their legitimate operations in the name of protecting the dignity, lives and livelihoods of our citizens. Fraternising with the occupiers is enough of a crime for it offers them encouragement and comfort on our territory. Endangering or discouraging our forces is quite another level of treasonous and must be punishable.

The IG is reviewing and acting to protect the Daring Move by updating methods and ways of working through the interpretation of the newest data from initial outings.

We back our ARF to fly our flag on our land. “Black legs” beware. Your time is up!

The Most High God is the Watchman of our nation and ARF

ARF+ Safety package and refugee sustainability.

It is about time we safeguarded the precious lives of the ARF+.

They need to carry out their missions with safety. That means we will have more experienced, motivated and inventive heroes.

Similarly our refugees need to stabilise and sustain their lives in the situations they find themselves in through no faults of theirs.

Ambazonia needs you to join the drive on 16/12/23.

Daring Move APP 18/11/23

IG to exercise Accountability and Action in APP meeting. All Ambazonian Independentists and friends of Ambazonia are invited to attend.

IG Condemns Mamfe Massacre

There seems no limit to the depths of La République du Cameroun’s crimes against Ambazonians.

The IG has once more been forced to call the international community’s attention to one more unspeakable and barbaric massacre in Manyu County.

The new entry in La République du Cameroun’s glossary of massacres in Ambazonia is Egbekaw village in Akwaya Local Government Area (LGA) of Manyu County in Ambazonia, where on November, 6th 2023, the latest one took place. This time it was the work of La République du Cameroun’s proxies but the responsibility still belongs with the genocidaires.

May their souls rest in peace.
