The miracle of SCA or another trojan horse.

Ambazonian Flag

SCA is a new acronym, as if Ambazonians have not yet had their fill of acronyms.

SCA is the Southern Cameroons Alliance which, according to its MOU … yes another acronym, albeit an established one! brings a motley crew of misfits who should not even be able to come to an understanding with each other, never mind travelling thousands of miles to attempt to solve a problem they cannot even define in an agreed common way. If they could define it in an agreed way they would still be no nearer to being able to pretend to solve it as they would, then, have to achieve the feat of convincing La Republique du Cameroun to take them seriously.

Sorry to digress, but when faced with an intractable puzzle, what can one do?

SCA’s MOU claims to bring together various caucuses to continue to collaborate in the “fight for the historically justified self-governance of Southern Cameroons”. It is an eminently sensible move along the same lines as the Consultative Commission has followed – until the composition of the diverse caucuses is listed.

The MoU brings together the following caucuses:

• Pro-Independence Caucus – Advocating for full independence as the path to self-determination.

• Pro-Federalist Caucus – Advancing federalist solutions while upholding self-governance.

• Civil Society Caucus – Representing grassroots voices, prioritizing security, social

justice, and inclusive dialogue.

• Southern Cameroons Alliance (SCA) – Serving as the strategic coordinator and

facilitator for collaboration.

Any pro-independentists would already be within the Consultative Commission, whose common objective is “being independentists” and, therefore, proudly Ambazonian. Given that they cling to this as a key binding glue, it would be questionable how the independentists would join an alliance with not only federalists  but unionists as well. Fair enough the unionists are only on the logical subset that would not fit the “independentists” or “federalist” subsets, not having broken cover in their description on the press release.  Hopefully SCA will square this circle. If they are unionists, it will not be politic for them to basically trash La Republique du Cameroun’s GDN which, being “national”, was already by implication, “inclusive”! Also, how would they be able to look themselves in the mirror associating with “independentists” while trying to stay “loyal” to La Republique du Cameroun? Maybe they are not so much unionists as contortionists!

So like all bad designs, this bird-cage, designed by a form one child in her first design technology lesson has a few flaws, which militate against it working as a bird-cage or even a as collaboration platform.

Under normal circumstances, nobody would think to bring together these interests in a “common quest” as “nobody” would be able to muster an answer to “what is their common interest?”.

SCA must have a secret, which has managed to bring together these groups to sign the MOU. Of course it is noticeable that the independentist signature is not from any of the independentists leaders that Ambazonia News recognises, but Ambazonia News clearly is not all-knowing.

So logic says the SCA cannot survive a session in meetings as they would have exactly zero points of convergence, on which, to base a discussion. Ambazonia News concedes, on faith and nothing else, the miracle that they could hold their understanding. Now comes the question: “What does La République du Cameroun have to say?”

It is no secret what they[La République du Cameroun] would do with independentists – the original independentists leaders are in dungeons in Yaoundé. They [La République du Cameroun] also have a dislike of the mere violent word “federation”, so violent that they have been known to summon and intimidate even their own citizens for merely using the word.  So what is SCA going to do to get La Republique du Cameroun to budge? Is that a secret logic outside the norms of logic?

There has to be a secret, for if there weren’t Ambazonia News would have to speculate that SCA may be being optimistic in relying on the French (General’s) Ambassadors claims in Bamenda about an imminent “solution”. But the Ambassador said it was an internal solution so SCA will have its work cut out to keep the caucuses together and to entice La Republique du Cameroun to negotiate “internally” with a group that includes “federalists” and “independentists” even by name!

Logic is a bad thing!

As usual when SCA has gone Ambazonia will continue, watched over by the Watchman of Our Nation – The Most High God.

French “Trojan Horse” arrives in Bamenda, Report.

Ambazonian Flag
French Ambassador to LRC turns up  in a thin disguise to fool the people of Bamenda

According to an unverified report, signed by Colbert Factor ” “The Anglophone Conflict Will be Resolved in the Months Ahead”, Thierry Marchand, French Ambassador to Cameroon “

It would appear the French are breaking cover in their colony as their Ambassador, General Thierry Marchand (Retd.) “has hinted that the eight-year-old Anglophone conflict, which has claimed thousands of lives and displaced many more in Cameroon’s two English-speaking regions, may soon come to an end.” While the LRC government has been asleep, it would appear the French have chosen to break cover and directly issue propaganda on behalf of their mentees.

The report claims that: ” During his second visit to Bamenda on Thursday, February 27, 2025, Ambassador Marchand stated that France, along with the entire European Union, is working diligently to implement a political solution to bring the conflict to a satisfactory conclusion. While he refrained from providing details on the strategies being put in place by Cameroon’s bilateral and multilateral partners, he emphasized that the conflict remains a Cameroonian issue requiring locally crafted solutions. “

It must be a diplomatic first for a “foreign” nation to implement a political project in a sovereign country which has not previously “hinted”, to borrow a word, at any such intentions or movements.

The report continues: “Ambassador Marchand’s statement offers a glimmer of hope for a region that has been plagued by violence and instability. The fact that France and the European Union are committed to finding a peaceful resolution to the conflict is a positive step towards ending the crisis. However, the success of this endeavor depends on the willingness of all parties involved to work together towards a common goal.”

This comment must be directed at Gen (Ambassador) Marchand’s mentees, whose last diplomatic foray was to publicly humiliate the boss of Global Affairs Canada, the Canadian Minister of foreign affairs by disowning her announcement of outcome of Canadian facilitated “talks about talks”. In other sovereign nations, members of foreign diplomatic missions who reach out so far out of their mission would be on the next flight home before anyone could finish typing the words “violation of their status”, but the truth is Gen Marchand has a different status, since LRC – and other African “States” are actually French colonies in all bur name. Canada tries to maintain diplomatic niceties and gets burnt, the French break cover as colonial masters – what happens? Nothing yet…

According to the report, the Ambassador is also oblivious to the role of the French in creating and sustaining the conditions that generated the “crisis” as “The French Ambassador to Cameroon expressed optimism about France’s role in reconciling the people of the two English-speaking regions after the conflict ended. Speaking to the press at the end of his working visit to the Regional Office of the Franco-Alliance center at Bamenda’s Veterinary Junction, he highlighted the rich cultural heritage of the North West region as a potential avenue for reconciliation.” Yes, the French would seem to feel they are well placed to persuade their victims to reconcile! LRC is using the methods the French used to set up the proxies when they [French] carried out genocide against La République du Cameroun independentists. A few months after they issued a report to those very proxies about “the excesses” of their colonial repression their co-victims [of the French’s and their proxies], the UPC, the Ambassador is prancing around Bamenda in a local outfit.

As any “anglophone” will know, the French proxies in Yaoundé failed in so many infrastructure promises even when they promised to “personally supervise those projects” [think the elusive Ring Road] so the French are now so fed up with their proxies that they are taking over and “personally reconstructing” as the report continues: “The Ambassador emphasized the crucial role the Franco-Alliance center would play in rebuilding the region in the months ahead. He also dispelled common misconceptions about Franco-Alliance centers, noting that they are not solely dedicated to promoting the French language and culture. Instead, these centers exist in English-speaking countries across Africa and work to promote diverse cultures, reflecting France’s history of cultural diversity.”

And so Ambazonia News finally learns that the French are nice – they are not promoting their language and that they will solve the “crisis” in a few months, even though they have not bothered to let anybody know – and nor have their mentees in Yaounde. They are just nice. Eight years have passed, millions have been displaced, thousands killed, thousands of homes burnt, many children, including toddlers on their way to school, killed by their mentees. All that time they kept their counsel, but they were nice all along! Now they are breaking cover to help -and not promoting their language!

Finally the General upped sincerity to “hint” at the reasons for going out on a diplomatic limb: “Marchand regretted the impact of the ongoing conflict on French investment in the region … , which has been severely affected by the seven-year-long Anglophone crisis.” So that French miss their free hand at looting Ambazonian resources.

Another irony is that the French interfrence in Canada is now being quoted as case study for “solving” the “Anglophone Crisis”, as they like to refer to the Ambazonia Liberation Struggle, says the report: “France’s concern for minority welfare led them to advocate for greater autonomy for Quebec in Canada. Today, residents of the French-speaking region proudly identify as Quebec nationals within a united Canada. This sense of identity is acknowledged by the Canadian government, as evident in the Prime Minister’s recognition of Quebecers as Quebec nationals. ” French, which does not want to promote the French language, went to safeguard the rights of the people of Quebec including their right to French culture, coincidentally, including the French language. While Quebec enjoyed a distinct education system, among other autonomies, “the Anglophone Regions of Cameroun” found themselves facing French-speaking teachers in their chidrens’ classrooms and having to travel to Yaounde for the most mundane routines in life and the wiping of their identity when their identity was obliterated by renaming Cameroon to La République du Cameroun, the Country which Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia joined to form a Federation.

The Trojan horse was actually a misnomer as it was the Greeks who brought it, rather than the Trojans, who were the dupes.

The would-be dupes in this episode would be the Ambazonians, if they bring in the horse and beautify gifts from the Greeks, … sorry the French. But Ambazonians are not Trojans and the French are not as convincing as the ancient Greeks. They [Ambazonians] have seen enough of the French and know enough about the French and their mentees to fall for a smiling French man just because he decided to disguise himself and claim to be trying to promote their culture while asking them to sit tight in a dispensation which has been running a scheme to obviate that same culture! Even if Ambazonians were gullible there is no denying it

The Most High God is the Watch Man of our Nation.

Imminent from the Consultative Commission…

Ambazonian Flag

A quick heads up from Ambazonia News to alert readers of the imminent release of the Consultative Commission’s twin documents: The Final Report and The Framework.

The Report sets out the findings of the Consultation which the Coordination Team carried out to establish the wishes of Ambazonia as well as the methods they were prepared to carry out those wishes to attain their freedom.

The Framework sets out the -well, framework for the Consultative Commission in its aim to progress the Liberation Struggle to a desirable end based on the Ambazonians’ whishes as found from the initial consultation. The various officers, offices and committees are set out in a transparent way.

The expectation is that the Framework will be formalized an imminent meeting of the majority of Ambazonian Independentists groups, many of whom have been working with, and had seconded representative onto the Coordination Team of the Consultative Commission.

Ambazonia News will post both documents for download in the nearest future.

We at Ambazonia News can describe these developments as further proof, if any were needed, that The Most High God is the Watchman of Ambazonia.

Consultative Commission promises important milestones for Ambazonia in 2025

Ambazonian Flag

The Consultative Commission lived up to its name and held it first 2025 consultation in a Townhall on Saturday 1st of February.

Among clarifying and dispelling various misconceptions, the CC promised important milestones for the year 2025, the culmination of which would be the All-Ambazonia Conference. Among one of the questions was a keen-eyed contributor’s observation that the acronym was exactly the same AAC as the old AAC of Dr Munzu’s day.

The Commission clarified that the All-Ambazonia Conference is a conference of Ambazonians, by definition, those who implicitly, and more likely, explicitly, believe in Ambazonia’s external self-determination outside of the purview of La République du Cameroun, whereas the AAC of yore was about “anglophones” within the shadow La Republique du Cameroun. Recall that the last contributions from Dr Munzu on the Ambazonia Liberation Struggle was about some forlorn dream of a Federation to be negotiated “within” even though La Republique has been hard at work intimidating their own citizens for merely using the word “federation”. Even if there were a sizeable of “Ambazonians” still hoping for a federation with La République du Cameroun, the irony would be that Ambazonia need not worry about them as La Republique would not countenance any such “solution”.

Among the milestones Ambazonia News can list are Collaboration among Ambazonian Independentists and active upskilling in expertise to be in a better position for when negotiations come at the end of the Liberation Struggle, talking of which, another misconception that the Commission sought to dispel was the idea that the Commission was seeking to unilaterally represent Ambazonia in “imminent negotiations”. The Commission clarified that its work was to upskill, build-ridges between Ambazonians through consultations to ensure that when La Republique reaches the pinch point of a Mutually Harmful Stalemate, Ambazonian side would be “ready”, knowing what and how they wish to get from negotiations. The Commission will not represent Ambazonia without first consulting and getting their consent. In fact the Commission cannot seek to represent Ambazonia as it is not in its Terms of Reference to do any more than its current function of building bridges between, and upskilling with Ambazonian independentist groups.

Away from the Commission per se, other milestones include the Community Mobilization and Ambazonia National Reconciliation, which both show our resilience and growing maturity in first recognizing the need, and then seeking to address it. Ambazonia is here to stay as Ambazonians want it and are in charge of actualizing it.

On Community Mobilization, Ambazonia News would point the organizers toward the key role they can play, should they figure out the mechanics, in achieving the a real milestone in decolonization. Our people on G0 need to start being independent and one of the methods is to promote and implement Community Schools away from and independent of La République du Cameroun’s impositions. Were this to spread, La République du Cameroun would see any remaining vestiges of influence on Ambazonian soil evaporate even quicker than with the expulsion of their “poor-people’s children”

International partners will address Ambazonia directly and independently of La République du Cameroun. This is in the wake of Ambazonia winning the last two encounters in Switzerland and in Canada, by 2-0, where La République du Cameroun’s shambles and “lack of an adult at home” contrasted sharply with Ambazonia’s considered and mature showing at a time when the “international partners” were still inclined towards presenting the Liberation Struggle as a conflict “in Cameroon”.

The Most High God is constantly watching over us and guiding us towards our independence.

The motto is Optimism and Milestones to Reach.

PRAP? More like NAIVE

Ambazonian Flag

NAIVE could be the “National Ambazonian Illogical Vague Endeavours”. Thankfully nobody has named any group or platform such. PRAP may not be NAIVE by name by they are definite, by nature.

On Sunday 24th November they issued a second video insisting that the visit of the Isreaeli-Palestinian delegation, including former Israel PM, Ehud Olmert and former Palestinian foreign Minister Nasser Al-Kidwa was an ICO delegation which went to present PRAP’s PPP to the pope. Anyone who has landed from another planet and knows nothing about the year-long war raging between Israel and Palestine could, with a very unsophisticated search on any browser for “vatican news Ehud Olmert”, find the report of the Pope being presented with a peace plan for the Holy Land.

Ambazonia News first posted the URL to this story when PRAP posted their initial video with the said image claiming to have had partners visit the Vatican.

An exaggerated claim about an image is one thing, but the truly naive action is to call on self-defense forces in Ambazonia to lower their weapons as a way to “entice LRC” to the negotiation table” to “request devolution”. PRAP’s whizz is to “lure” La Republique du Cameroun to the table and request devolution, because “otherwise La Republique du Cameroun would refuse to negotiate”. So La Republique du Cameroun declared war when the lawyers and teachers only sent letters and requests for fairer conditions, far less demanding than decentralization. Also, La Republique du Cameroun has sent many poor-people’s children to perish in Ambazonia while killing many Ambazonian civilians, including toddlers on their way to and from school and after eight years, PRAP is “leading” with the idea that Ambazonia should discard the only leverage we have, remove all the pressure on La Republique du Cameroun and that would “lure” them to grant “devolution” – which is different from “special status” in what way? PRAP claim to be working on a long term plan – to start with the request for devolution to “secretly and cleverly” lure La Republique du Cameroun to the table after forwarding the peace plan to Etoudi for [hopeful] approval.

Luckily Ambazonia has survived all such lunatic ideas, probably through the fabled watch of our ancestors, but far more likely, the intelligence and courage of our valiant self-defense forces on the ground. Ambazonia News would go as far as let PRAP keep selling their idea if they wish, in the firm belief that PRAP will soon exit stage left spent from its own illogic, without any intervention from any diasporan leader. Ambazonians on the ground should be credited for their fortitude and commitment in withstanding La Republique du Cameroun for so long and the discernment to bin CRAP’s lunacy.

Mr Biya Does it again – Or rather doesn’t again!

Ambazonian Flag

On the 5th of November 2024 there was a landslide in Dschang in La Republique du Cameroun’s border province known as La Region de L’Ouest, for being the western-most province of that country bordering onto Ambazonia in the North.

Ambazonia News extends the prayers of neighbouring Ambazonia to the victims, many of whom have, for generations freely come and gone into Ambazonia, intermingling with Ambazonians.

Five days after the disaster, La Republique du Cameroun’s “Prime Minister, Head of Government” posted on X to blame nature and offer prayers and condolences to the victims. He referred to the voice of Mr Biya, whose own social media post is still to come. Mr Biya clearly think his other clever invention – the “presidential silence” is appropriate for this massive loss of life.

There has been no visit by any La Republique du Cameroun minister to assess the situation, probably because there was a similar landslide in the same area in 2021, killing more than 50.

As “Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun”, Ambazonia News is not questioning what was done to mitigate future occurrences if/when the 2021 episode was assessed.

Even for LRC, it is striking that the “government” has been so mute – even to the lack of the usual communique which would credit Mr Biya with releasing many billion of XFA to console the victims.

While there was nobody at home for the disaster, the government was busy projecting a documentary of Mr Biya’s achievements in his 42 years in office and organising celebrations and orations to mark ascension to the the Presidency. Don’t blame Ambazonia News! That is the language they use in their circles.

There is no shortage of ministers in La Republique du Cameroun but it seems they were all too busy – even JDDM who is meant to be from the neighbourhood of the disaster!

There is a possible explanation. The RDPC, Mr Biya’s “governing” party may well have been pre-occupied with celebrations on the 6th of November, but at least one of them could have commented or shown an interest. None of them did maybe for the callous reason that they did not want to be seen to be taking the lead. Yes that is a bad thing as Mr Biya is ailing and has a habit of culling the tall poppies. It wouldn’t do to project one’s self in the fevered atmosphere of Mr Biya’s imminent departure. So nobody did!

So they celebrate the 42 years of someone who succeeded a much younger person in office – the much younger person having decided to step down when they were a much better “leader” than Mr Biya subsequently proved to be!

The RDPC tabloid “Cameroun Tribune” ran an earnest editorial repeating Mr Biya’s 42 year old “mantra” of New Deal, plagiarized from the US of course, but claimed and celebrated as Mr Biya’s idea. No irony that under the new deal the regime not only could not carry out his other slogan of “Rigour and Moralization”, which were meant to fight nepotism, tribalism, corruption…

It is not an exaggeration to say that Mr Biya institutionalized those vices in his 42 years – to the extent that his regime is now in grid-lock too ashamed to repeat itself when “nature” provides the ill-timed [more like timely] evidence, if it were needed, that “Rigour and Moralisation” have become “Laissez-faire and Immorality” much like the descent of Rome into anarchy on the eve of the fall of the Roman empire. Speaking of Rome, this, if there were any doubts, is the nth crossing of the Rubicon! Even the normally fearful Camerounese are voicing discontent about the silence and disdain regarding this latest Dschang Disaster.

it is time for Mr Biya to formally bow out. It is no secret that he has not been “in” for at least a decade!

As Ambazonia News has postulated in the past, there is no one at home in La Republique du Cameroun!

Ambazonia needs to go ahead with running our country. It was never a protest or plea to gain special status of devolution or federation or any other supplicant status in a country which is so inept and unable to manage its own affairs.

Ambazonia Consultative Commission’s Crisis Plan – Still pending but…

Ambazonian Flag

In a previous post we promised to post the CC’s Crisis plan for Ambazonia [ and La République Citizens] in the [imminent] event a downward spiral in La République du Cameroun.

Since that post, there have been more pointers from La République du Cameroun.

There are now at least two videos of deliberately recorded footage by La République du Cameroun’s “Secret Services” torturing people who are in no way political threats to Mr Biya; and posted on social media. This could be some inept attempt to instil fear in the populace but, if so, it only shows that the regime has nothing to lose. If that is not the aim, it would indicate, rather further confirm the regime’s increasing loss of control over its machinery.

In Mr Biya’s home region, there was open talk of a “federal state” in the Region du Sud where protesters complained about the shenanigans of Mr Biya’s close circle. In a state built on tribalistic actions this can only be an alarming indicator of the descent to chaos that the CC’s feared as they set about drawing up the Crisis Plan.

There is also anecdotal evidence that Mr Biya’s chefs de terre are profiling citizens in their areas since one of them has reportedly requested locals to report any “strangers”. “Allogenes” is actually a term in the lexicon of the so-called “les gouvernants” of La République du Cameroun. This is the word used to distinguish people “not from this tribal area”, used by the same people whose rhetoric includes phrases like “any Camerounian should be at home anywhere in Cameroun”.

Since the start of the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle the vast majority of people who would be quickly tagged as allogenes would be the so-called internally displaced – the people who have escaped the violence in Ambazonia and sought temporary “refuge” in La République du Cameroun.

Ambazonia News hopes the plan never gains any use and that the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle comes to be resolved through negotiation, but our aim is that, should the needs arise, all those caught up in any crisis would have had some forethought and would act in a more measured, considered and inherently safer way to mitigate any risks to their physical safety.

Read the very rough draft here – we will endeavour to post any further refinements of the plan.
