Restoration Forces in Buea Humble Colonial Governor Okalia Bilai & Mayor Ekema Patrick

On Monday, July 2, 2018, in Buea, Capital of Ambazonia, the usual Monday ghost towns operation took a different turn. It was a total locked down, as all business and transportation services were grounded.

From Muea to Mile 16 and from the Albert Mukong right up to Buea town, all business premises were under total lock and key. Even the usual hustling and bustling that use to go on at the Clerks Quarter and Buea town Market on traditional ghost town Mondays was not witnessed.

Most civil servants and private business workers therefore could not find their ways to work, while those who brave odds got tired of trekking before reaching their offices.

The colonial Governor Okalia Bilai, Mayor, Patrick Ekema and other colonial agents who have always been very high handed in their crackdown on those who respect ghost towns, were conspicuously missing in action. In past months, these colonial agents use to go around every Monday, extorting money, locking up business premises and threatening denizens who sympathize with the Ambazonia revolution by respecting the ghost towns.

Has Buea therefore been captured?

Those who know and have lived in Buea, understand that the economic strength of the city depends on the surrounding towns like Muyuka, Ekona, Mile 16, Mutengene and Tiko.

Following the activities of Restoration forces in these neighboring towns in the past weeks, it can be said that the city has been weaken and is now a shadow of itself. It will therefore not be wrong to conclude that Buea had fallen since last week.

It is therefore not surprising why there was no economic activity at the heavily militarized and stubborn Clerks and the Buea Town Markets yesterday Monday.

Restoration forces have indicated that they have not yet started their job in getting rid of the colonial agents from the Capital City. They are still warming up at the peripheries, and so it advisable for any colonial agent still proving strong to submit and cross over Wouri for their own safety.

Ambazonia is at war with the colonizer and any enemy, perceived enemy or potential enemy of the colonizer must be squarely dealt with. Until the colonial octogenarian Paul Biya who declared the war declares a seize fire, restoration forces have the mandate under Ambazonian law and International Law to defend the people from the terrorizing activities of the imperialist and enemy forces of LRC.
