At least 150 Ambazonians residing in Bintoum, Boumba-Et-Ngoko Division, East region, of la Republique du Cameroun (LRC), are presently seeking refuge at the premises of a local church.
According to information gathered, they were chased away from their homes by the predominately Francophones who bashed into their houses, maiming and throwing away their property.
One of the victims who called the attention of BaretaNews to the matter, say they are being chased away by the Francophones after news broke out in that part of LRC, that one of theirs, a colonial military fighting against Ambazonian fighters in Manyu County, was killed.
“On April 18, 2018, news broke out that one of the sons of Bintoum, serving as adjutant-chef, in one of the restive areas in Manyu, was killed. The whole Bintoum started screaming and morning. Later when things were about to normalise, a group of Bintoum indigenes started moving around quarters and be beating any Anglophone (Ambazonian) they meet, some throwing away their properties,” explained Esther Kum, an Ambazonian living in Bintoum.
Reports say in the midst of the pandemonium, many people ran for safety into the bushes, while others ran to church. Families were separated and the dubious indigenes took advantage of the situation to loot from the Anglophones.
Our source informed us that in that confusion state, not a single military or forces of law and order of LRC came to the rescue of the vulnerable Ambazonians. Many of them are still displaced.
It should be noted that, this melancholic attitude of Francophones seem to be growing by the day. Reports had earlier circulated that Francophones in Ebolowa, South Region in LRC, have been sending threatening messages to Ambazonians to leave their premises or they will be dealt with.
BaretaNews calls on all Ambazonians to come back to their land and join their brethren in fully restoring their land.
AMBAZONIA SHALL BE FREE

Things are going off hand, that if care is not taken its going to be something else in a nearest future, all thanks to Mr. Biya who have decided to end his mandate in the killing of innocent citizens. Ambazonians have said it time without number that this is not a fight between Anglophone and frankle phone brothers, but from the way things are going, Biya is forcing them to believe that is such, by sending their brothers who for the sake of senseless war are being killed in Ambazonia. I am scared of the future, reminds me of what one comrade once said “Don’t be surprised when u see huge movement of people via and across the Mongo”. This act is making me believing in to seeing that coming to pass.
I thought they said they are not for any separation and they love francophones because they gave them a job as a result those of us unemployed and still living hear in Ambaland are not worthy to be employed by the Biya regime. Come back home before they finally wipe u out.
This is precisely the reason why some of us decided earlier to leave university of Yaoundé and continue our studies in the West. There is no reason for any Ambazonian to be complacent by sitting on the fence at this juncture.
Ambazonians living in some parts of LRC, use your heads before it is too late.

In Ambazonia we allow for free speech, the free expression of ideas and free movement. Many uninformed contributors to this forum are welcome to reveal their obliviousness. It’s through exposure that historical facts on Ambazonia, biya’s lrc and the world are corrected. No one should ask another to “keep his /her mouth shut.”
No one in Cameroon, Africa and the world can question the vast knowledge, wisdom and humility that Professor Anyangwe brings to the table of facts and ideas, on matters of governance and civil rights and especially on Ambazonia. The Professor ‘s article on biya’s lrc encroachment in Ambazonia is timely and straight to the point.
Professor Anyangwe just briefed us on the callous nature of lrc french republic’s intransigence and systematic aggression on its people who are already reduced to puppets. Biya’s Lrc is corrupt and made up of a heartless coldblooded machinery that only fends for itself. As they kill Ambazonians in the name of some concocted fake unity, Ambazonians shall resist biya’s encroachment in Ambazonia. It’s Ambazonia or nothing.
This is unacceptable if the information is true. Why cant you guys create an environment where we can all think of how the situation can be resolved on a win win solution …Most of us are very angry ….when we finished school there was no university ….when we studied in French university there was no job …..I can go on and on but if the Middle East crisis is something we can learn from …then we must be wise …..IN WAR THERE ARE NO WINNERS …..WE COULD CHOOSE TO BUILD CAMEROON RATHER THAN WAR BECAUSE LIFE HAS NO DUPLICATE ……
I think CAMEROON WAS NOT ANGLOPHONE AND FRANCOPHONE BEFORE THE 1917
ANGLOPHONE ARE HUMANS AS WELL AS FRANCOPHONES ……I HAVE LOST PEOPLE IN THIS STRUGGLE ….U ALL SHOULD THINK BEFORE FIGHTING -TALKING FROM THE KEYBOARD IN A SAFE COUNTRY
GOD BE OUR JUDGE MAN NO RUN.
nice write-up. these guys should keep aside greed and look into finding a solution. People are suffering a lot.
Please ask yourself the question of who was the person who made a speech at the airport declaring war on the Ambazonian people. In life you earn respect, you do not demand or beg for respect. If I have to die for this cause then let it be. The time for cheap talk is over. Biya hides at Etoudi and sends terrorists to kill our people and all you here are individuals arguing that Ambazonians should just fold their hands and do nothing?
Mukong alle of u parroting fake New here r just criminals this story is a non event cz didnt happen. Wat baraliar n his propaganda people want to create in the rest of cameroun will not happen. No angophone in franco zone is under Attacks by noone. U guy r truly ambaidiots
@Mukong, you are absolutely right, but be mindful that Biya declared war to Ambazonia terrorist, not the Anglophones.
This story of our brithers being chased away is pure fabrication. Mark Berata and his click are not happy that our brothers and sisters are seeking safety in Cameroon, just because they are using the refugees issues to raise money and to seek sympathy from the international community. Shame on these Biafra descend.
You want to say that the tenthousands of people who marched on 22nd of September 2017 all over the Southern Cameroons with the Ambazonian flag are not considered terrorists by Biya??? No Mr. Jojo he declared war against all of us. Obviously the majority of the Southern Cameroons.
Please stop your Biafra nonsense. That is an insult to us Southern Cameroonians/Ambazonians.
@George, war was declared to Ambazonians terrorist. Marching has nothing to do with this declaration of war. We have being marching since the 90s and why is that war has never been declare?
If to you kidnapping, stopping students from going to school and economic sabotage are not act of war, I suggest you take a look at your dictionary before asking who declare war.
We the majority of anglophones don’t recognize your so called Ambazonia leaders. All they do is kidnap, killing and destroy our villages. They are as blood thirsty as Biya.
No matter how they try to be moderates, the boastfulness and arrogance of Francophone CamerooUns will always shows its ugly face. Let me give you the names Froggi have been calling us from more than half a decade : Biafra , Enermie dans la masion , Anglophones, Esclave, les Bamenda, and recently dogs by Colonial Governor Okali Bila.
@Jojo despite your trying to hide your feelings, through out your writing, I can show how you despirate forggie is fearful of loosing your slaves Southern-Cameroon. Now your people have started the final phase of the Pogroms.
Come home my dear Biafra descend. before the people of Jojo waste your lives…. They have punished you for more than 60 years and enough is enough.
