Charades Continue as Invisible Man, Biya, continues “bid” for 8th Term

FeaturedAmbazonian Flag

Charades Continue as Invisible Man continues bid for 8th Term – they are no longer pretending that he is “doing anything for himself”. His “supporters” are meeting him by proxy! He has had the seventh term by proxy and his proxies now think his invisibility is … invisible!

In La République du Cameroun they have a few gems they roll out to describe and lament their plight. Every time they[resigned lamentations] are deployed, they [the victim-citizens of La République du Cameroun] must think “We have heard this before! Think of something new!”.

Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun is the most apt encapsulation of the helplessness that encompasses the victims of LRC.

How is it that “the favourite to “win” the election” has not even been seen declaring his candidature? Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun.

Why are the bishops trooping to Etoudi to support a political venture against their “flocks”? Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun.

How did the bishops cope with the idea that they did not meet the person they went to meet and been seen supporting? le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun.

OK so men of God should be peace-loving but surely they are not just supposed to preach “turn the other chick” without any pretence of seeking justice! How can they preach that while rushing to be seen supporting the party slapping they chicks?

What about the rag-tag group of “North West Chiefs”? When did North West Chiefs become messengers to travel to another person palace and stand to deliver a message? How did they cope with the idea that they did not even get to see the person they went to support and be seen to support? Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun.

As they persons insist on be referred to as North West Chiefs, they are not fooling anyone, least of all themselves. They know that North West Chiefs are servants of their people who guard their people’s dignity.

Since these persons were mute at home burnings, killings of their youth, killings of toddlers on their way to school and all the other indignities and harms, to which their people have been subject for such a long time, they know that are not North West Chiefs. Even if le Cameroun C’est le Cameroun, North West Chiefs have not become messengers and supplicants who turn up to worship an absent invisible bloke! Not in our name. As they have voluntarily made laughing stocks of themselves Le Cameroun c’est li Cameroun is not enough to save face even to themselves.

Now to the invisible man – how will the invisible man run for a new term without appearing? Well, as le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun, it is possible that the same coterie which has declared his candidature without him, will run his campaign without him [or the electorate] and declare his victory without him needing to appear. After all, le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun. When this victory to the invisible man is declared, will the French turn up to congratulate the invisible man in his absence? After all, la France c’est la France, right?

One thing is for sure, when this macabre charade ends in three months, Ambazonia will be blessed to have been separated from La République du Cameroun.

What Ambazonian Citizens should do.

Collaborate: On the ground, Ambazonian citizens should work with each other to take their destiny in hand. They should have the courage and dignity to ignore the occupation. The thugs blocking your paths are not better than you. If you work with the ARF+, their stay on your path will be short-lived as their impunity will be removed. le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun will not save them because Ambazonia is not in La République du Cameroun. If they are expecting to keep playing games of “deference” where, apparently Mr Biya The invisible is so above all the electorate that he does not need to appear to declare his own candidature, to address the electorate for his own term, or even do anything during his expiring term, apart from letting it be said that “things are done in his name”, they have lost it. There is nobody at home. There dam will burst soon – inevitably and we need to have the courage of our convictions and take charge of our country

The ARF+ need to collaborate with, and protect, all civilians to ensure that have a demonstrably better standard of life and livelihood compared to what they get from forceful occupier, La République du Cameroun. That should not be too onerous considering the absurdities that the occupier passes under the filter of le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun. It will also provide a safer environment for ARF+ when they and our citizens feel the dignity of our collective belonging and civilisation. It takes only a very small step and thankfully, Ambazonia is now at a juncture where everyone has learnt. We need to apply that learning in choosing who we go with for our long term future. With our civilians empowered to take charge of their socio-political development, life will be safer for all of us as they cannot intimidate an empowered free people who know the righteousness of their cause.

Our long term future does not sustain on any temporary fear of the brutality of La République occupation. Our dignity and sense of fair play does not, either as we cannot sustain the opposite of what we know to be right. That is what brought us out in 2017. Nothing since then has proved us wrong. Everything has proved our choice right and the only sustainable cause especially now we are emerging from the backlash of La République du Cameroun militias.

We must hold our nerve and ignore the strange charades going on. The bishops don’t represent us. Nor do the chiefs who would rush to Yaoundé to deliver a message and supplicate to an empty room. We may still respect our institutions but the individuals acting in these charades do not represent us. We know who we are and we now know who we can accept and trust.

We must be thankful that they, the stooges/clowns of this sad saga, helped to demonstrate that La République du Cameroun is on their last legs, compounding absurdity on absurdity in an “Emperor’s New Clothes” tragi-comedy designed to make-believe this final time…

Can they continue with the Invisible Candidate? You decide if you are a La République du Cameroun Citizen. If you are Ambazonian, thankfully you can only watch this tragedy and count the days until they leave, as they must, having legally seceded from the union that never was in 1984 [HCB/28/92] – and good riddance!

The most High God is always the Watchman of Our Nation – Ambazonia, risen never to fall!

Ambazonia’s Sovereignty Amid Cameroun’s Electoral Chaos

FeaturedAmbazonian Flag

As we write, La République du Cameroun is in the throes of “election” fever, complete with the tragi-comic events that no fiction writer could deem plausible enough to publish! Be that as it may, they are acting it out. They are “pre-defeating” candidates while setting up processes to ensure that their “international partners” will be able to “pass the elections” as “not too flawed”. Remember that last time the “election observers” who “passed” the 2018 “elections” had as their main qualifications being white! It later emerged they had no expertise or experience, even if one goes past the utter embarrassment of continue to need rely on parading even really reputed observers.

Ambazonian independentists have issued reminders that “election” activities on their territory. It is only right to issue such reminders but is it necessary to ban? Yes and no.

It is right to “ban” to ensure our citizens are not induced to take part, be it by local fifth columnists or La République du Cameroun other agents. The ban falls fairly and squarely within the current Liberation Struggle and should be enforced by applying the appropriate and proportionate sanctions to all those who would seek to undermine our sovereignty even when it those acts are already illegal under international laws and statutes to which La République du Cameroun is signatory. For a reminder, the Ambazonia lies out side the borders of La République du Cameroun, which were frozen at their independence on 1st January 1960. In view of this fact, La République du Cameroun’s elections, even if they were less controversial, would not be legally welcome on Ambazonian territory. In view of the potential chaos that that exercise looks likely to unleash this time around, it ill-advised for anyone to expose our territory and civilians to such potential harm.

On the other hand, banning pre-supposes there is a plausible or legitimate event to ban – there is not and there need not be an explicit ban. We work towards the day when Ambazonians will know enough to simply ignore and “vote with their feet” so to speak! Until then Ambazonian leaders must keep banning just as La République du Cameroun’s carpet-baggers unfurl their wares to make impossible promises which they cannot fulfil and do not need to fulfil as Ambazonia does not need them.

“Candidate” Kamto is on record as promising to “visit” Ambazonia, though he referred to Ambazonia as “North West and South West regions”. The positive is that he clearly sees Ambazonia as being outside La République du Cameroun though he does not acknowledge it, preferring to let his electors continue to mistake La République du Cameroun as including Ambazonia.

“Candidate” Osih has stated that he would talk to [the leaders of] Ambazonia and that he would release those in prison first. He too did not explicitly acknowledge Ambazonia as a state but did put negotiations in prospect. Even though “his” party has failed to raise a debate on Ambazonia even once in nearly nine years of killings and displacement, while collecting payments from La République du Cameroun parliament, they are still labouring under the misconception that they represent Ambazonia in that foreign parliament. In that regard he and his party’s position is more callous for they have been a literal “front” allowing La République du Cameroun to imply that Ambazonia was represented in their parliament by non-RDPC persons. It is worth noting that they also, similarly, “validated” the so-called great national dialogue where they failed to put their big “electoral” offering, “federation”, on the agenda. While his “offers” may seem plausible for a starting point, no Ambazonia can count on them as he is extremely unlikely to turn out as anything other than a validator, providing the usual “front” when the RDPC “wins”, for them to claim they won in a “contest”. Apart from the virtually impossible chance of winning, it is worth reminding Ambazonians that they are not legal La République du Cameroun citizens, living in a territory outside La République du Cameroun borders, and should not join the SDF in providing the “front” to validate RDPC and other carpet-baggers’ illegal stance on Ambazonia.

Issa Tchiroma proposed the most feasible route even if it still suffers from the mistaken view of Ambazonia as part of La République du Cameroun. He proposed a referendum to let the people express their preferences. Mistaking Ambazonia as a part of La République du Cameroun would negate the efficiency of a referendum to resolve the Liberation Struggle/”anglophone crisis” in much the same way that the so-called referendum of 1972 entrenched La République du Cameroun in a state of illegality, setting a precedent for paradoxical violations of “the” constitution. To make his proposal feasible, it would need to be coupled with the acceptance that Ambazonia is outside La République du Cameroun and then the referendum with be exclusively for Ambazonians to avoid the same “rigging” that the 1972 already-illegal referendum suffered.

Akere Muna is the ultimate front, though he is even less likely to “win”. As a lawyer, he should know the legal position on Ambazonina and therefore, should not be playing validator again. Just like SDF, he has been in comfortable opposition of the RDPC while mute on the plight of Ambazonians. He has been displaying his “bilingualism”, Ambazonia News imagines, in a bid to placate that well-known king-maker country by not being too anglophone. The very last thing Ambazonia needs is to see a stooge validating a non-solution to her demand for justice and sovereignty. Ambazonia News is relaxed about that prospect as it would be an absurdity too far for Muna to “come from nowhere” to win whether he was installed by said kingmaker of defying virtual impossibility to defeat RDPC on their own pitch with their referee, linesmen, match delegate and the very La République du Cameroun backup of homologation committees. If he beats all that, he cannot beat the secession of 1984 when Mr Biya withdrew La République du Cameroun from the mere-de facto “union” of the then “united” Republic, previously “federal” Republic of Cameroon.

Ambazonians and Ambazonia should instead concentrate on planning how to cope in the aftermath of the La République du Cameroun electoral charade before continuing to work towards a settlement which does not defy the legal reality. Defying the legal reality is any purported settlement which ignores the secession and presents Ambazonia as a helpless supplicant being granted a settlement by La République du Cameroun.

La République du Cameroun no longer has anything to offer Ambazonia as they are “forcibly occupying Ambazonia” as per HCB/28/92, the Bamenda High Court ruling in “Republic of Ambazonia vs Republic of Cameroon”.

Understanding the Ambazonian Independence Pact of 2025

FeaturedAmbazonian Flag

The Leaders Summit

It is no longer news that Ambazonian Leaders have met and signed the Indepdence Pact of Easter 2025.

In this post, Ambazonia News attempts to fill in the gaps and answer some questions.

As usual, we welcome more insights from more informed sources.

Origins

The Consultative Commission is the old Coordination Team which come to life immediately in the mele of initiatives for conferences post the [predictable] collapse of the Canadian Pre-Talks. The collapse was when La République du Cameroun publicly berated Global Affairs Canada, in effect calling, its boss and Canada’s foreign Minister equivalent … names. La République du Cameroun’s actions were entirely predictable because they have no negotiating position, even if they had “anyone at home” and, secondly, because one of their strategies is to out-wait the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle. The have done this through many schemes designed mainly to time-waste, playing for time in the hope that the momentum of the Ambazonian Liberation would diminish. That is why their response to Melanie Joly, for she was the GAC boss who first disclosed holding of the Pre-talks was utterly predictable.

Before that they had ridiculed the Swiss Process, of infamous memory, similarly, including through Justice Minister Momo’s ludicrous attempt to paint the diplomatic bungling as the clever work of Mr Biya to thwart the international community’s pressure to resolve the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle. That particular bungle, if anything, served to show that the international community was not only interested, contrary to popular perception, but involved in attempts to solve it. It is for another post to address the appropriateness and suitability of the involvement.

Other delaying tactics include the GDN, and its baby, Special Status. GDN was neither a dialogue nor great, being more of a monologue of hand-picked RDPC stooges who, just to be certain, were not allowed to use the word “federation”, which in turn, by then, was no longer a popular concept among Ambazonian Circles!

Maybe the last overt delaying tactic was the infamous reconstruction plan which turned out to be, like most La République du Cameroun projects, another embezzlement machine.

The Coordination Team, therefore was the Ambazonian response designed to consult Ambazonians, establish their preferences and aspirations in order to inform how the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle should be steered thereafter.

The report of the consultation is published and available to download from this link.

The Pact

  1. It is the outcome of the consultations that our Coordination Team carried out with our people, after several abortive attempts to move towards a negotiated settlement, which have resoundingly come out in favour of external self-determination – Independence.
  2. The Agreement shows the maturity in the Liberation Struggle after reflecting on many natural learning points and the appeals from the people
  3. It is a pact to collaborate to act in a more coherent and cohesive manner to expedite Ambazonian Independence and Freedom. By collaborating, Ambazonian Leaders will demonstrate to the citizens, La République du Cameroun and the international community that they are committed and intent on staying the course and taking the Liberation Struggle over the victory line. The necessary impulses will be applied to nudge LRC towards the realization that Ambazonian minds are made up, resolve solid and their faith strong and driving them to Freedom.

How it came about

After eight years of improvising the best they could in a struggle for which they were not prepared, which they couldn’t even claim to have been ill-prepared for, it was, still is, natural that they would stumble. They now understand that they have to get up each time they stumble and respond to the cries of our people to stand up collectively to the oppression and end the [illegal] occupation. They must hold their nerve and be mindful that La République du Cameroun’s ways of dealing with the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle include propaganda, some of which tries the deception that they are failing. Instead experience teaches us that Ambazonia is winning as even the La République du Cameroun’s worst excesses of terror and intimidation have come and done: village burnings, massacres, Moja…, “elites” have all proved failures and instead served to demonstrate how incompatible La Republique du Cameroun is to Ambazonia.

While [then] Southern Cameroons had a multitude of democratically elected Prime Minsters and peaceful transitions in less that ten years, La Republque du Cameroun is stuck on two President’s , non of whom have ever been democratically elected, for over six decades!

While Southern Cameroons ran an efficient public service providing utilities and maintaining infrastructure for social progress, La Republique du Cameroons, after six decades continues to regress and shows no embarrassment, rather pride, in being so backwards that they have to evacuate their ailing “leadership” overseas for simple health care.

Why it came about.

It is necessary for our people to access the same opportunities that all other people do. We need to end the skewed and corrupt system which has reduced our people to abject poverty as second class citizens in a chronically corrupt and incompetent regime where they literally have zero opportunities for social growth.

Our Ambazonian children are very talented and we owe it to them and humanity to harness those skills and talent for humanity’s collective future on an equal footing.

Ambazonia must emerge from the dark shadow of La République du Cameroun and realise her destiny of a bright and prosperous future in the community of nations.

We will work diligently and with conviction, knowing that we are linking arms to regain and possess our country. We will keep improving our ways and getting straight back up every time if we stumble. We are maturing into a nation relying on the resilience which has seen us to this stage even in the face of a clear perceived imbalance of power

Ambazonian Liberation is a righteous course. The Most High God is the Watchman of our Nation

The Heat Factor: Compelling La République du Cameroun to Negotiate

FeaturedAmbazonian Flag

For a time now the chorus of “the suffering of our people” has accompanied schemes and processes to get La République du Cameroun to the negotiating table “to stop the suffering of our people”.

The idea of getting La République du Cameroun to the table has been in the air since the Swiss Process and was present in the Canada Pre-talks which followed.

The positive of these micro overtures is that La République du Cameroun can be assumed to have recognised the need for a negotiation, though it has to be underlined that their idea of negotiation will not be the same as the Ambazonians’.

The ways of getting La République du Cameroun to the table start with the obvious proven one -namely “unbearable heat on the ground”. This proven as it was responsible for “enticing” La République du Cameroun to venture onto the Swiss and then The Canada Pre-talks. Even then, it has to be factored in that La République du Cameroun could use such encounters to play for time and wait for Ambazonian coalitions to fracture as Ambazonian still sadly has many gullible “leaders”.

The gullible leaders, though talking independence and probably meaning it display the naivety to have “bringing La République du Cameroun to the table” as an end it itself. They do not consider what will keep La République du Cameroun on the table and compel them to yield to the idea of Ambazonian Independence. La République du Cameroun This was PRAP’s ingenuity. To be fair to PRAP, they then figured that such a low bar was far removed from any idea of immediate independence so they honestly postulated the idea of stages, including a referendum in the future to determine that. While this might very well attract La République du Cameroun, it would empower anglophone unionists and give La République du Cameroun the leeway to buy self-interests and pervert any future referendum, assuming the process got there. The immediate danger is, in reality have to complete the “lure” by playing “dead”… and playing dead could engender actual death of the Liberation Struggle. It would tell the day-to-day victims that the leaders are trading in their condition and willing to callously risk their lives and livelihoods on trusting a La République du Cameroun which has definitively proved their untrustworthiness.

On the Ambazonian spectrum there is a more ludicrous group even than PRAP. They are the independentists who also use the “lure La République du Cameroun to the negotiating table” mantra but do not either think about the aftermath or talk about it. Worse, they too wish to rely on diplomatic overtures with only a very flimsy tenuous reliance on “heat on the ground”. They would be less successful than PRAP in luring La République du Cameroun as they would, being independentists, have to use the words “Ambazonia” and “Independence” – the ultimate repellent to La République du Cameroun! Hopefully times helps them to realise -unless they do already realise but have undisclosed intentions.

The simple clear and surest way is the “heat on the ground” which has the effect of communicating to all key stakeholders. If properly targetted and applied along the “Daring Move” parameters, heat will quickly compel not only La République du Cameroun but any of their backers with interests on Ambazonian soil.

They would also enthuse the Ambazonian citizens who have to live the daily oppression of La République du Cameroun’s occupation forces and show them that the leadership gets it and is on the right page to take the Liberation Struggle over the victory line.

Whichever method is used to bring La République du Cameroun to the table, it is crucial to have it figured out how to keep them there and get the desired result from the negotiation. Knowing that La République du Cameroun will employ the simple time-wasting method and wait for Ambazonians to tire, it is critical to ensure that “heat” persists and that the practical independence reigns on the ground.

Complimentary commitment demands that diaspora make their own part of the commitment the only way they can, which is to contribute material and time to support and communicate commitment to the civilians on the ground. On the ground, the civilians and the ARF+ have to have a mutuality which makes them one. The ARF+ will actually go out to bat in self-defence but the civilians need to implement Ambazonian independence by by-passing La République du Cameroun officialdom at every opportunity, especially when it comes to the education system. Ambazonia News is consulting to bring more practical suggestions for by-passing the La République du Cameroun-controlled system still choking the social progress of Ambazonian children with their corrupt assimilation system.

The Ambazonian Liberation Struggle is fateful and watched over by the Watchman of our nation. On their side La République du Cameroun is doing everything to antagonise Ambazonians and convince them, as if they still needed convincing, that the two countries are incompatible. On the Ambazonian side the PRAPs of this world, whatever iteration, are thwarted by, first the “lack of anyone at home in La République du Cameroun”, and the sheer illogic of their schemes whether to Ambazonian eyes or to La République du Cameroun’s.

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.

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

FeaturedAmbazonian 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.

Ambazonian School Year 2024-25: Overcoming Challenges for Quality Education

Ambazonian Flag

Education is the first mass choice for Ambazonian parents.

The IG will seek consensus with other Independentists Entities to help Ambazonian parents to participate in setting up our education system.

We want a system we can trust and where effort and talent help all Ambazonian Children to fulfil their potential.

We want a predictable and equitable system where parents will expect no surprises when they turn up to the school gate with their children.

We expect some difficulty stemming from:

  1. Initial lack of experience
  2. Intimidation and influence-peddling by La République du Cameroun
  3. Lack of faith that our system will truly be a move away from La République du Cameroun patronage and corruption framework.
  4. Some initial lack of faith between independentist entities

These are the most predictable difficulties but, we expect to persist and convince parents and students that they can learn in a safe environment where only their effort is required to help them fulfil their potential – as an inevitable long-term goal.

We expect the sheer fulfilment of nurturing their children to encourage Ambazonian parents to make the system work. They will be supported to drive the social development of their children and youth and enjoy the self-satisfaction of making a difference at the crucial juncture when our country needs all of us.

We shall commit to work with all independentist entities to expand community education as a clear “vote with feet” all over Ambazonia to emancipate our communities.

We believe that the difficulties can be overcome by honest transparent adaptability which should allow us to refine and improve our system to meet our needs collectively, locally in each LGA, and further down to each school, teacher and pupil. We start from a sparse base but aim to improve week on week, month on month, year on year until adaptability and refinement become our norm in learning.

The School year 2024-5 shall kick off on 2/10/2024 and break for Christmas on 20/12/24.

Primary schools she be provided the interim Ambazonia Curriculum, available for download online. A limited number of hard copies shall also be available in each county.

One of the key duties of our schools shall be to ensure that our children learn a balanced account of our history.

The Second Term shall start on 6/1/2025 and break off on 11/4/25 for 2 weeks, returning for the Third Term on 28/4/25.

The year shall end on 18/7/2025…

  • Public Holidays: National Independence Day 1/10/2024
  • 1st term: 2/10/24 to 20/12/24

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.
