Ambazonia News comes to you with a mix of reassurance that La République du Cameroun is losing the war and the sad fact that, like the French did six decades ago as they “left” their African colonies, La République du Cameroun want to cause as much pain as possible, in the vain and futile hope of terrorising us. Sadly we have seen it all before and endured it all before, before deciding to draw the line.
This week Ambazonia has seen another hero bear the land with their blood. In that event La République has seen fit to remain true to type by “displaying” his body like the French and their collaborators used to do with the nationalist independence fighters in Cameroun and the other colonies. We know that the collaborators of those days are still in office, even if not in power, in La République du Cameroun so it is no surprise they are borrowing from what they did all those years ago. Nor is it a surprise in Ambazonia as they have done it for the last seven years.
They have shot and killed toddlers on their way to nursery school, toddlers who literally could not hurt a fly and that did not deter us the Ambazonians. How could it?
They have indiscriminately killed a village-ful of pregnant women, children and elderly. Did that deter us? Did they learn?
They have similarly displayed other heroes. Did that deter us, the Ambazonians? No. We no longer have to try and convince those fifth columnists called federalists as it is now up to them not only to explain why despite La République du Cameroun systematically intimidating their own citizens for merely using the word federation, they think that we the Ambazonians should engage in a fanciful debate about a federation with people who, as if to make certain, are employing the methods of their French mentors to underline the utter untenability of even the loosest association.
As painful as it is we the Ambazonians must stay focused on the Daring Move methods to actualise our independence and expel the illegal and forcible occupiers of our land.
La République du Cameroun is a country outside and separate from Ambazonia not because we the Ambazonians say but because international law does . They are only on our land because they have been able to get away with it in the past. No more. We know how to get them out and we must stay the course and get our nation back for our future generations. The grand children of our fallen heroes need to fare better than the children of Um or Roland or … They must be able to see schools and universities and libraries and parks and streets named after those forebears who bore the land with their blood.
The Most High God is the Watchman of our Nation and the guide to our ARF+.
The planning group of the Southern Cameroons Ambazonia Consultation has announced a new series of consultations to follow the August 2023 sessions.
Ambazonia News encourages all previous attendees to attend as they need to be consulted on the way forward to ensure a unity of purpose and outcome for all Ambazonian Independentists.
If you did not attend the first series it is vital to get involved otherwise your voice may not be heard.
Three new sessions are on offer on 9/9/23, 17/9/23 and 23/9/23. As usual there will be links to participate online nearer each session. Registering beforehand will greatly facilitate your experience. Ambazonia News tenders apologies for the late posting of the press release.

Since IG President Marianta Njomia signaled the Daring Move there has been noticeable daring on G0.
It is clear that we The Ambazonians must prove our readiness and ability to fund, fight and free and the Daring Move is the long term method to achieve our objectives.
As specified in the Executive Order which rechristened and renamed the ARF to ARF+ our liberation and self defense forces have better defined methods including ownership of their safety and local decisions in the immediate within the wider objectives of Daring Move: to target the economic interests and comfort of all La Republique du Cameroun allies and agents in Ambazonian territory. The fifth columnists are an urgent target though ARF+ stills own the immediate local target priority on the basis of their safety.
The IG maintains our appeal to international partners to come to the help of our civilian, notably children whose development is being impeded by the forceful and illegal occupation under which La Republique du Cameroun is imposing a deliberately substandard education on Ambazonian children. We endorse Community schools which will use and develop our own Ambazonian curriculum. The support we need from the international community is to enable safe zones around our Community schools.
The international community must not neglect the refugees currently enduring untold misery in neighbouring countries.
The Most High God remains the Watchman of our Nation and guide to the ARF+.
We the Ambazonians pledge our loyalty to our Nation and allegiance to the heroes, the ARF+. We count on the blessings and guidance of our ancestors as our ARF+ engage in the clear and focused duty in the actualisation of Ambazonian Independence and sovereignty.
The Daring Move will move the dial towards more intolerable hostility to LRC and her allies in the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle.
The ambiguous consideration of enablers and black legs as “ours” will be discarded. As allies if LRC they can expect the same hostility from our ARF+ proportionately. No longer shall they roam our territory or declare any treasonous allegiance to LRC in the impunity to which they may have counted.
The fifth column of LRC collaborators and enablers will face the same dire consequences their actions have visited on Ambazonian citizens. Ambazonian lives are precious and any acts which impinge on any aspects of the live and dignity of Ambazonian citizens shall attract proportional retribution.
Ambazonians are established and internationally recognised as a people and therefore own the right to their independence, dignity and inheritance. We the Ambazonians are going it alone to expel LRC from our land. We will call on all international partners of good will to help us negotiate the practicalities of separating our Nation from the colonial machinery of LRC after we have expelled the occupying artifacts. We welcome the support of all who witness and object to the genocide being perpetuated on our citizens to help with our Liberation as well as to care for our refugees.
We equally serve notice to those international parties who are enabling or supporting LRC genocide that the Daring Move will target their interests.
The Most High God remains the Watchman of our Nation.
The SCAC is an internationally mentored and supported effort by various Ambazonian Independentist entities to coalesce the plethora of conference initiatives into one logical inclusive conference of Ambazonians.
Unlike the SCPC the conference that should accrue from the SCAC will be one for independentist entities by design.
ACT entities believe in Ambazonian independence and would concentrate on coalescing Ambazonian groups. At the very least SCAC will boast transparency in being upfront about the Ambazonian Coalition’s unity on the common purpose -independence.
Given that La République du Cameroun still needs to be convinced to come to the table Ambazonia News believes that any Ambazonia-side concessions such as might be interpreted from the vague phrase “peace and justice” plays straight into La République du Cameroun’s game plan of offering a “special status” and waiting to continue the assimilation attempt, to which their President confessed. Ambazonians should rely on the righteousness of their cause and ignore what is not even a promise of a negotiation but the trick of dangling the threat of “missing the opportunity to negotiate” – with a party which has chickened out of two negotiation opportunities! They have disowned the Swiss Process with a flimsy excuse that the old dictator had managed to hold off international sanctions by semi-engaging in the process. They then provided the counter-argument themselves by attending the Canada pre-talks before, again disowning them in a more desperately clumsy way by having a public spat with the head of Global Affairs Canada! In spite of the diplomatic faux pas sources close to the pre-talks have not definitively given up on the the idea of an eventual Canadian mediation, hence, for instance the previous play on the idea of “preparing for a referendum” by some Southern Cameroons entities – as distinct from Ambazonian Independentists, who while accepting the idea of a referendum, see it as a remote future prospect to come only after the [Ambazonian Independentists] have “dragged La République du Cameroun to the negotiation table”.
At Ambazonia News we believe that the threat Ambazonia faces is that of letting our Liberation Struggle lose momentum and collapse while we foolishly fall for the trick of being secluded in a talking shop to the exclusion of what progressed Ambazonia this far – a hostile environment for La République and her allies of the fifth column or foreign interests on our land.
Ambazonia News encourages all Ambazonians to join the Consultation to ensure our future is based on their voices.

Ambazonia Coalition Team is a gathering of many Ambazonian Independentist entities who first coalesced in the run-up to the “Swiss Process”. They were “approached” as representative body of Ambazonian entities to talk with when the heat persuaded La République du Cameroun to dip her toe in a potential negotiation process. ACT was the Ambazonian side in the Swiss Process, gaining valuable experience and diplomatic contacts; and again took part in the Canada Pre-talks
Ambazonia News is profiling ACT in sequence intended to publicize its existence, objectives, membership and its potential role in the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle.
Ambazonia News will be open to, indeed relying on, the experience of founder members and functionaries of ACT. If any of you, members of ACT, are contacted please be generous with your time and experience as Ambazonia needs you! Even if you are not explicitly contacted, Ambazonia News would welcome any clarifications and details that you wish to submit in comments.
The founding groups in ACT included APLM, SCADEF, MoRISC, IG, SCNC, SCARM, RoAN, SCAPO, ARF… all committed independentists. There are also a several independent individual members including residents of G0 and G1.
ACT is a very useful open channel to all the member groups and exactly the group which has fostered a unity of purpose without announcing it. This happened naturally for despite the fallacy of lack of unity, the Coalition carries out regular weekly meetings which ensure ideas are exchanged efficiently and productively. ACT has even on occasion brought together all the major Ambazonian entities in its fireside chats.
When La République du Cameroun’s aims in both the Swiss Process and Canada facilitated Pre-talks are considered it can only be said that ACT won both rounds. In each case La République du Cameroun played for time hoping that the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle would slow down, then making the plea to the facilitators that they wished to deal on the basis of an internal crisis, hence through the failed national dialogue, both times thanks to the vastly undervalued ACT setup, Ambazonian resolve held firm on the objective of independence.
Other independentist entities are always welcome to join ACT where the experience exists if dealing with the two mentioned international partners as well as others, well apart from Swiss and Canada.

As promised the text of the PEO is now available to download for reference.
For a long time the IG has applied the Building-Bridges Protocol to support all restoration forces in G0 without requiring any acknowledgement from any of them. The only requirement had been, in the obvious case of ground forces, that they have proven and provable records of fighting the enemy.
The current PEO formalizes and recognizes this process by designating qualified forces as ARF+. They will not need to announce or show any outward signs than their integrity and professionalism in discharging their noble tasks with reliance on the blessings of our ancestors.
They, ARF+, shall rely on our people in their own Building-Bridges attitudes, humbly protecting our people with the same humility and selfless daring that will ensure dignity and self-esteem for our nation.
They, ARF+, shall instil pride and be the pride of our nation by holding the line on integrity, dignity and self-respect that will allow our people to finalize the decolonisation. They shall not intimidate or disrespect our people in any way reminiscent of the colonial functionaries and occupiers. Instead through their actions and comportment they shall inspire our people, their ultimate only reward being the satisfaction of seeing the smiles on the faces of our people as ARF+ shall only be daring and discrete.
They, ARF+, shall not tolerate any indignities inflicted on our people from any authors. They shall be rewarded ultimately with seeing our children be like the stars above.
ARF+ shall prevail as Ambazonia shall prevail. The Most High God is the Watchman of Ambazonia.
The PEO text is available here, as it is on the government repository.
