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!

Paul Biya: La Republique du Cameroun goes too far again!

As these words are committed Mr Biya is spending his 44th day outside of Yaounde and Cameroun. In order not to fall foul of his constitution, he needs to return by Thursday 17th October 2024. But that is still not the end of it nor should it be. To be clear Ambazonia News couldn’t be less concerned with the functioning of Cameroun in any aspects that do not concern Ambazonia. Their constitution clearly does not concern Ambazonia in whether it is respected or abused. Whatever mechanisms and technicalities are used to help Mr Biya “comply”, will do no more than kick the can beyond the end of the road. It would not be outlandish to see a blinded vehicle driven through Yaounde with the insistence that the contents are Mr Biya’s “resting a recuperating” personification of bravery and service for returning in time to avoid depriving La République du Cameroun of his service. Some idle people would them bite into the futile “debate” of a back-and-forth of whether it is actually him or whether he is alive…

The question for any thinking person would be whether it matters whether Mr Biya returns dead or alive. The answer would be “No”. He is in no state to run a bath, never mind any country. He has not been for a long time – which begs the question why is he hanging on? Is he covering while some forces manipulate in the background or is he actually convinced that he is serving La République du Cameroun, or even that he has ever served? The answers would be a guess as he is notoriously slot-like in avoiding any kind of effort. It is questionable whether he has ever read any paper or had any discussion or thought in the last at least twenty years. Many incredulous Camerounese like to make excuses for him, claiming that the corruption and ineptitude could not be visible to him or he would act against it! Ambazonia News would be of the editorial view that if he were alive and serving La République at any stage he would have noticed even by mistake. Clearly he has been seen alive all these years and that means he has not been serving – certainly cannot claim to have been serving. Instead, he lets others insist he is and that he is serving so well La République du Cameroun would be lost without him! They are strange people. If he has been alive and alert the only conclusion would be that he despises La République du Cameroun, proof being that he avoids any stays there, basing his itinerary on the need to avoid the 45 days out that would require him to have to justify the unjustifiable. That constitutional unjustifiable is actually minor for La République du Cameroun as they would go out of their way to find their own justification for such a great and irreplaceable servant, without whom they would be lost.

The more difficult justification would be the office-sitting he has done so many years when he clearly hates the country! What is the proof that he hates the country? He is about to die out the country getting “rest and recuperation” abroad because there is literally no health facility in La République du Cameroun, either for him to have that “rest and recuperation” or any of his, illogically, grateful acolytes to be treated for the most mundane ailment. That after so many years of “serving” La République du Cameroun. He hates it there and had remain as a block on the futures of youth of La République du Cameroun. Why?

Does La République need him back whether dead or live? Does it matter? In view of his actions and attitudes during his tenuous tenure it is arguable that the former state would be preferable and more beneficial to La République du Cameroun as the block would disappear and Camerounese would finally start looking forward and be forced to replace the irreplaceable. Some common sense and stability in La République du Cameroun and the advent of a leader could lead to a faster acceptance that Ambazonia and La République need to chart their separate paths. Anyone serving the country would not keep dispatching the poor citizens’ children to die trying to kill Ambazonians in a completely futile attempt to prolong and preserve an illegal and forceful occupation of Ambazonia.

He does not have to return. He can remain where he likes to be but the irrationally child-likely helpless Camerounese would have to stand on their own two feet.

So Mr Biya, you have nothing more to prove. Go [stay away] for pity’s sake! Camerounese have never offended or wronged you, have they? Let them fledge! Please!

Ambazonians beware! Kamto ignores HCB 28/92 in trojan horse post.

FeaturedAmbazonian Flag

Renowned La République du Cameroun law academic and politician Maurice Kamto has wadded into the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle with a social media post in which he reheats the “wrong federalist” argument that “massive voter registration” in La République du Cameroun’s presidential election will “allow” Ambazonians, who he calls “anglophones”, to “exercise their self-determination by voting” in that “election”. In a previous post, Ambazonia News discussed the similarly blue-sky ideas of certain naïve federalists in suggesting that opinion polling could cause change “within” La République du Cameroun, which could facilitate the return of a federation by demonstrating the people’s preference.

On the face of it, Prof. Kamto’s post sounds “reasonable” and if we are wondering why it even needs to be made as an “offer”, then that is the paradox and where the offer damns itself, for it implies that “democracy” is a special offer in La République du Cameroun! To his credit, Prof Kamto, is ,therefore, acknowledging our [Ambazonian] experience of the lack of democracy in La République du Cameroun, where we do not even legally belong, and, therefore do not have to endure the abuses of what Prof. Kamto calls a “brutal, autocratic, kleptocratic” regime which has “mishandled the reunification”.

Prof. Kamto himself has spent the current “grand projects term” protesting a stolen vote in the last La République du Cameroun presidential election of 2018, so even if Ambazonians were gullible enough to fall for his “offer”, there would be no precedent to base any faith on, that their votes would “count”, or what would accrue if those votes did somehow count. There is no “consensual electoral system” in La République du Cameroun, even for their own citizens as Prof. Kamto himself has often lamented, so Ambazonians would have to be gullible indeed to suppose that they could achieve any self-determination through a La République du Cameroun-organised vote, already disowned by their own citizens, including principally the gentleman advocating such a folly! Prof. Kamto would appear to be asking Ambazonians to replay the mistakes of the past by diving head-first into an ill-defined “association” merely in the “hope that it will turn out alright as we are brothers”! Ambazonians, you have learnt from those mistakes at high and continuing cost. Do you want La République du Cameroun militia firing into school-bound traffic, or even controlling such traffic? In what country on the planet would such victims spurn the opportunity to break free from such a fix?

But that is not all. There are more fundamental legal issues at play to do with the Bamenda High Court ruling, HCB 28/92, a fact which makes Prof. Kamto’s apparent offer more threatening, compounded by his renown as lawyer. HCB 28/92 ruled that La République du Cameroun is/was “forcefully and illegally occupying Southern Cameroons, unless La République du Cameroun showed just cause”. La République du Cameroun has never addressed, appealed or tackled the ruling in any way other than through “force”, even before the recent seven year period of heightened genocidal acts in Southern Cameroons by her militias.

HCB 28/92 says, in so many words, that La République du Cameroun and Ambazonia are separate nations on the basis of La République du Cameroun having had her international borders set in 1960, and reaffirmed same in 1984, thereby releasing Southern Cameroons from the unratified process of a “federation of equal states” engaged in 1961. As long as La République du Cameroun is called La République du Cameroun, it has those borders and zero right to any Ambazonian territory -economic, social or political. In fact, better still, it does not matter if La République du Cameroun changes her name, for it is now like we are in the plebiscite campaign period when decisions could not be made for either La République du Cameroun or Southern Cameroons except by those separate peoples themselves, separately.

La République du Cameroun citizens were not allowed to vote in the plebiscite and they are not allowed to vote today in Ambazonia or offer Ambazonians a vote in La République du Cameroun! Ambazonia regained the right to her own destiny in 1984 and her citizens do not need to be offered any thing in La République du Cameroun’s political system. What’s more, the value of such an “offer” to take take part in an illegal election under an electoral system, he himself rejects, and when Ambazonia has a righteous legal and moral cause is frankly disingenuous and nebulous.

The real danger and loss if any Ambazonians fall for this wooden horse would be that they provide the fig-leaf/thread of “representation” by which La République du Cameroun’s forceful occupation hangs over Ambazonia. Is it possible Prof. Kamto can make this “offer” not because he expects to win the La République du Cameroun election but because he is one of the La République du Cameroun class of “gouvernants” who want to continue pillaging Southern Cameroons and their own country on behalf of a foreign manipulative colonial power?

Ambazonians beware! It is not your vote that they want! They just want to be able to say you are represented in their system so that they can continue to exploit you as they have always done. Reject this “offer” and La République du Cameroun will have to leave so that you can run your own country and benefit from your own efforts and hard work. It is not even a realistic offer as it is illegal under international law for La République du Cameroun to try to organise their elections on Ambazonian territory.

Please recall that there is a Presidential Executive Order reminding Ambazonians of their freedom to shun La République du Cameroun’s make-believe.

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

Featured

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

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

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

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

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

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

Now according to this quoted article on camer.be:

<<Begin quote>>

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

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

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

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

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