Ambazonian News Update: Imminent Release of Ambazonian Curriculum

Ambazonian Flag

This day we share the preamble of the Ambazonian curriculum from the Department for Education and Strategic Collaboration, DESC.

The document outlines the rationale of the curriculum to three parties , focusing on the idea of moving on and taking Ambazonia’s destiny into Ambazonian hands.

It acknowledges there could be problems of inexperience but urges Ambazonians to embrace those as opportunities to grow and learn, looking forward to the satisfaction of self-determination and self-reliance in solving our own problems.

Ambazonian News is set and ready to publish the curriculum here as soon as it is issued by DESC.

Read it here:

The Ambazonian Curriculum – Taking our Destiny into our Hands.

The Ambazonian Liberation Struggle has been about messages.

The Curriculum is the biggest and most significant message and the next logical message to “move on”.

To the illegal occupiers, La République du Cameroun: Our Ambazonian Liberation Struggle is not a protest. It is a decisive break away to take control of our social, economic and political development, with no regard to/or ill-feelings for the evolution of our neighbour La République du Cameroun. They do not need to carry out any reforms one way or the other as they are utterly irrelevant to our proposed route to a prosperous future for our nation, Ambazonia. It is way past the days of any thought that colonial-French-style terrorist intimidation of our people is going to have any effect. That same intimidation has established for all doubters that the “reunification”, though well-intentioned was a resounding mistake, from which we draw our lessons and move on. Our fervent hope is that we eventually have cordial relations as neighbours but we will not lose any sleep to maintain an unbalanced disadvantageous and utterly harmful association. It is time to stop dangling mixed messages or suggesting that our two countries need to accommodate each other in any other ways than as neighbours. Our step into the future is not to defy purported law as there is no law or expectation that Ambazonia should be a supplicant of La République du Cameroun. Indeed, experience teaches the contrary and an honest appraisal by La République du Cameroun’s political leaders should lead them to the same conclusion – that they should stop the illegal occupation and withdraw to their established international borders, no honour lost on either side.

Of course we will ensure the safety of our children in our schools.

To our people: This is an opportunity for us to step into the light and look towards a brighter future where we will explore with excitement and anticipation, all the opportunities for development and discovery. We believe that we are the equal of any society on the planet and insist on equal opportunities to fulfil our potential and creativity. Our reward will be the satisfaction of knowing that we resolve our own problems and overcome obstacles with our own ingenuity and effort, regardless of the approval or disapproval of other equal members of the community of nations and peoples of the planet.

We do not need or expect the benediction of any other nation, only our deserved and fair opportunity like every nation and people. Our humility is not to be mistaken for inferiority.

We accept, and look forward to, challenges which will strengthen our nation and drive our ingenuity and creativity due to our urgent necessity.

We are proud of our success in standing up to La République du Cameroun’s intimidation and now make it clear that it is time to start building our nation and society in peace and tranquillity.

The current state of affairs between La République du Cameroun and Ambazonia dictates that only one conclusion – that Southern Cameroons’ Founding Fathers’ dream welcoming brothers was a romantic mistake, which has been compounded by the daily experience of each and every Southern Cameroons citizen under the La République du Cameroun hegemony in the last six decades.

Starting from our children, we need to turn the page to a normal beneficial society where all our efforts bring us positive rewards and benefit ourselves and our community fairly. We should be proud to exemplify the benefit and need for hard work and self-determination to our progeny, pointing towards the light of modernity and science as the way forward towards an outward looking society where they can travel the world with pride and self-confidence, secure in being able to say they are Ambazonian and only draw respect.

To the international community: Ambazonia is taking her place. Any nations of good will are welcome and appreciated to help us make fewer mistakes, but our destiny is our own and we will learn quickly and improve. The international community should play their part in ensuring the safety of our children in our schools in conformity with the norms, as they would for all other children on the planet.

Never has any country accepted security forces intentionally firing live rounds into school-run traffic under any circumstances. Though many other atrocities and genocidal crimes have been perpetrated during La République du Cameroun’s illegal occupation of our land, we reclaim the safety of our children to attend their places of learning with the same safety that is expected and accepted for all nations on our planet. We heard “Never Again” and it is not a phrase that needs to be repeated but implemented. We will not “give it chance” for we are already a blessed special people who have learned that our special status is not in the gift of any dictator but resides forever within us, each and every Ambazonian.

If a limb needs amputating, it is not positive, optimistic or rational to suggest a sticking plaster. Delays in dealing with the disease jeopardise the whole body.

Ambazonia belongs to us! Ambazonians’ problems are ours to solve. Ambazonians’ social, economic and political development are ours to ensure.

Team Ambazonia issues latest press release on consultation between independentists…

As la République du Cameroun lurches towards chaos, Team Ambazonia, the Ambazonia Consultative Commission continues much-needed consultations to keep channels open between supposedly divided Ambazonian Liberation Movements.

They are not that divided! The reason for the collapse of the tentative negotiation processes is that “there is no adult at home in la République du Cameroun”.

The Daring Move: Ambazonian Liberation Struggle Charged

Ambazonian Flag

Since 2/9/23 when IG President Marianta Njomia signalled the Daring Move Ambazonian decolonisation is getting more and more real as La République du Cameroun’s militias find themselves operating in ever decreasing circles.

Ambazonians are more aware of the significance of La République du Cameroun’s apparently loony activities, such as staging marches to mark “youth day” or “National day”. In trying to prove to the international community that “normalcy” reigns, La République has proved to the international community that they are as corrupt and unjust and brutal as ever and that the normalcy that Ambazonia said no to is no more bearable nor acceptable than when it was said no to!

They have also made Ambazonians more aware of their strength and position of power in the imperceptible and pointless fight to show the international community … whatever. The said international community is not really interested and will not come and impose any terms on either side of the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle. What La République has revealed to Ambazonians is that they [LRC] are in the legal wrong and need to prove that Ambazonians consent to the “forceful and illegal” occupation. In trying so hard they have proved the contrary. Even the international community would not expect of any people to consent to the occupiers who casually kill their children on their way to school, or boast of “neutralising youths suspected of being separatists”.

The Ambazonian citizens realise that it is their actions and comportment that will determine their fate. They need to return their lives to their normal, running their own affairs in the spheres of education, social progression and economic development with no regard for La République du Cameroun, even if La République du Cameroun tries to intimidate and dissuade such practical independence – in fact, especially if they try, for that is a way of “showing the international community” what we have chosen. The international community will have to accept the reality as they are gradually doing with Somaliland.

Now to the Daring Move! The Daring Move has ensured consistent nationwide daring moves to uproot La République du Cameroun assets and structures on our soil. Be they fifth columnists (black legs) or the poor-people’s children La République deploys to try to intimidate us, the message is clear. Daring Move is for the long haul and open-ended until all vestiges of La République are uprooted and gone from our soil. It is consistent and targeted as outlined in the initial PEO of 2nd September 2023. On a weekly basis since the signal went out, La République militias and fifth columnists know impunity has ceased and expect that it is only a matter of time before they stray into the ARF+’s cross-hairs. ARF+ know their targets and are improving as they gain experience and see the effects of their dares.

When the Dares join up with mass citizen choices the outcome will only amplify. It will not help La République du Cameroun that they have their coronation to try and engineer! The supreme irony of these coronations in these increasing isolated colonies is that the country orchestrating them brutally beheaded their own monarch 250 years ago! Anyway even the subjects of La République du Cameroun are not expected to stand for a coronation even if “les gouvernants” proxy colonialists could. In the last fortnight they have managed to entertain anyone who was bothered to look with a rumpus on the crucial subject of … hiring a football coach! Seriously nothing is too minor for La République du Cameroun to show herself up!

Before that they managed to demonstrate to all Ambazonian would-be fifth columnists blacklegs that there is no mileage in that choice. The best and most devoted of them will eventually end up in SED to taste the treatments they previously meted out to innocent Ambazonians just to prove their loyalty to La République “illusoire” du Cameroun! Step forward Moja Moja and thanks for being the metaphor!

Beware would-be fifth columnists! If you escape the ARF+ you will still have to look out for your pals from La République du Cameroun. Think they will leave witnesses behind?

To the sensible and ambitious Ambazonian civilian citizens join your community and start living your dream as a free equal and meritorious citizen. Your efforts and rewards will be yours in out country. Support the ARF+ to support you. Your children will progress according to their effort in education! You will progress according to your effort and investment in your community in our country.

The Most High God and our Ancestors continue to Watch out for us.

Ambazonia is free.

Ambazonian Collaboration: Building Bridges and Locking Arms for Liberation | Ambazonia News

Ambazonian Flag

As La République du Cameroun prepares to run the gauntlet of charades and hide-and-seek, trying to prove that they can “celebrate” 20th May in Ambazonia, so what?, Ambazonia should be celebrating the first signs of collaboration among the various Ambazonian Independentist Entities. The news was first broken by IG President Marianta when, in her address to the APP on 11/5/24, she revealed that she had contacted all the major leaders to a common position on the likely lockdown to counter the LRC charade. She said she had talk to most and received text replies from those she had not spoken to.

The upshot is that even if they issue separate lockdown declarations, they will have the same dates and durations. Ambazonia News believes this is worth celebrating if it avails as it would be the first fruit to accrue from the Building Bridges policy, marking the hopeful launch pad to further and more meaningful collaboration in other areas to lead to the practical reality of the liberation of Ambazonia.

The IG believes that Ambazonia’s Liberation can be actualised more quickly by presenting a reality on the ground. That reality would start with Ambazonian education from Community Schools to other higher education institutions run by the Ambazonian Communities and separate and independent from La République du Cameroun’s influence or interference. A critical mass in this sector would leave the international community with no choice but to accept that reality. It would convince our citizens that Ambazonia is theirs and secure the social progression that every Amazonian parent has always wanted for their children. It would be immeasurably empowering and lead to swift decolonization which would cascade into other sectors.

This can happen if the Ambazonian independentist Entities all undertake to pursue that goal in areas they control, locking arms to drive out all La République du Cameroun vestiges. Belief is needed. Trust and reliance on the common objectives and motives of fellow independentists would lock in our determination in our external self-determination once and for all.

So Ambazonia News is inviting all leaders to contact others to start brain-storming and thinking blue-sky thinking. Thinking is what will drive La République out and have us ready to face the challenge of building the nation we want.

The next opportunity to keep communication lines open will be the Ambazonian Collaboration Team’s Townhall on 18/5/24.

We have endured the worst of La République du Cameroun and it is time to leap.

The Most High God remains the Watchman of our Nation. Ambazonia is here.

Ambazonia’s Struggle: Unraveling Moja Moja’s Alleged Crimes

Ambazonian Flag

Moja Moja, the thug whose eponym came to signify the essence of a black-leg or fifth columnists is reported to be “reaping what he sowed”. His real name is John Ewume and he is supposed to be the chief of the Bwasa village in Southern Ambazonia.

He has been “arrested and taken to Yaounde” and, irony of all ironies, could soon be communing with people he would have summarily executed on camera had he encountered them in Ambazonia.

Moja Moja attained notoriety through his elaborate rituals to please his handlers in La République du Cameroun, whose so-called “elite Rapid Intervention Brigade” he “represented”. While La République du Cameroun propagandists came to avoid open tribalistic comments in public, insisting instead on quoting their “anti-tribalism” laws, Moja Moja felt empowered, so empowered that he gathered evidence of himself committing genocidal acts while flying La République du Cameroun’s flag. For such illogical actions, it is remarkable that he took care not to be in his BIR uniform while making all that footage of his genocidal crimes, a fact which hardly absolves La République du Cameroun of the responsibility for his crimes.

Other fifth columnists were happy to associate with him, probably misguided by the “protection” he must have had to commit those crimes with impunity while posting the evidence on public media. The “elite” were happy to be filmed congratulating and lauding him.

Even the CHRDA of Agbor Nkongho published a dossier calling for an investigation by the government of La République du Cameroun.

In previous posts Ambazonia News has cautioned any Ambazonian born against putting their trust in La République du Cameroun for they would be directed to commit crimes and then discarded much like all criminals seek to rid themselves all witnesses to their crimes.

The lesson is that Ambazonians have no choice but to take up their nations cause for independence from the illegal occupiers of La République du Cameroun.

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

Ambazonian Flag

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.

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

Ambazonian Flag

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.
