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

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.

The Most High God is the Watchman of Ambazonia.

Presidential Executive Order reiterates illegality of LRC occupation, rejects and bans their activities in Ambazonia

IG reaffirms Ambazonian legal “separateness” in formal ban on La République du Cameroun electioneering on Ambazonian soil.

In a new Presidential Order, signed by Interim President Mariana Njomia, the IG has cautioned Ambazonian citizens against becoming unwitting dupes of La République du Cameroun’s illegal activities in the coming months.

With the pressing need for La République du Cameroun’s seven year charade coming in 2025, it is expected that they and their allies and agents will be trying to make-believe that they have Ambazonian representation in their country’s “gouvernants'” ranks.

The IG reminds La République du Cameroun and all her allies to stay clear of the separate demarcated national territory on Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia) as La République du Cameroun borders were established on 1/1/1960 in the AU Charter which La République du Cameroun has signed up to.

La République du Cameroun herself definitively released Southern Cameroons from the oft-violated and unconfirmed “union” when they reverted their sphere of sovereignty to their territorial borders at independence on 1/1/1960, by renaming themselves to their birth name. In that act, they irreversibly lost any rights over Southern Cameroons’ politics, economy or resources, whether they could parade any unwitting stooges or not.

As HCB28/92 implies, La République du Cameroun remains an “illegal and forceful occupier”, a status which cannot change unless Ambazonia and La République du Cameroun decide separately whether to have any form of association. In other words, Ambazonia has the sovereign decision with no regard or influence from La République du Cameroun and any intimidation, especially in the counter-productive form of colonial style terror is not moving any of our citizens anywhere but towards independence. Killing toddlers on their way to school, killing pregnant women, abducting Ambazonians, “neutralising” Ambazonian youths because they are “suspected separatists” need to draw the condemnation and sanctions of the international community and the ICJ.

Daring Move rules of engagement already specifically authorize ARF+ to target “allies and agents” of La République du Cameroun. All those who shall attempt to carry out any activities in preparation for or in direct acts of “electioneering” or claim to represent Ambazonia in the foreign ranks of La République du Cameroun parliament or any of their “gouvernants'” institutions shall automatically join the ranks of the pre-warned legitimate targets of the ARF+.

Ambazonian citizens are well advised to assert their legal right not to be accosted or coerced by any La République du Cameroun agents as LRC has not shown cause to still be in Ambazonia, contrary to the ruling of the Bamenda High Court in HCB28/92. They cannot hold legal elections in Ambazonia. Period.

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

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.

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

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. “
