THE ANGLOPHONE RESISTANCE IS A JIHAD

The “ANGLOPHONE PROBLEM” is not a person but a SPIRIT, reason why La Republique du Cameroun (LRC) has done its worse yet the problem is only getting BIGGER by the day. Biya must have memory problems, triggered by advanced senility. That’s why he keeps arresting people and brandishing International Arrest Warrants to Diaspora activists, believing that it will quell the violence yet the situation persists.

Imprisoning MANCHO and a thousand others won’t stop the Anglophone resistance. Not even the execution of AYUK JULIUS, TASSANG WILFRED and 45 others will stop the resistance. LRC has burnt entire villages, killed hundreds, maimed, raped, abducted yet the problem persists because it’s a JIHAD against them (LRC).

JIHAD is a term that has metamorphosed in the religion of ISLAM over the ages to become what is known as a HOLY WAR, a war against THE INFIDELS, against the TYRANNY, the OPPRESSION, the ISOLATION and the INJUSTICES of the arrogant powers. In Christian religion, it is called MATYRDOM while the Japanese have the KAMIKAZE spirit which was used to attack allied targets during WW2. JIHAD is actually a self-beatification/canonization process, a heightened spiritual elevation that pushes people to die for the cause of justice, believing that they will make heaven.

Hon. Paulinus Jua talked about the ANGLOPHONE SPIRIT during the Bamenda meeting with the Musonge Commission, the spirit that exists in every Anglophone; the spirit of Justice, the spirit of Resignation when things are not moving and the spirit of Integrity. Jua didn’t mention the word JIHAD nor did he make allusion to it but when we match his words with what’s happening on the field, we realize that the Anglophone/Ambazonia/Southern Cameroons/West Cameroon struggle is a JIHAD; a HOLY WAR against the infidel -LRC, a war that never stops, a war that cannot be won by the oppressor, a war that cannot be bought over with bribes from the oppressor, a war that never ends until the oppressor is annihilated.

General NAMBELE reiterated it again that he doesn’t recruit fighters but the JIHADI spirit in Anglophone men calls them to duty, to fight against the oppressor and defend their land. We have seen videos of people, including youths who have come out to the open, with the faces to the enemy, ready to die for the Anglophone cause. We saw grandmothers in their 80s who defied military presence and marched with peace plants. The youth mention in videos that they have lost everything because their future has been hijacked by LRC and Anglophone surrogates called political elite. So, they must fight to death to reclaim what is rightfully theirs in the spirit of JIHAD.

Biya will be defeated on both fronts, on the MILITARY front and on the POLITICAL front. When the war was declared, people took turns to warn Biya that he will be defeated in Ambazonia but the later took it for a joke. Two people caught my attention;

AKERE DIVINE ACHU who mentioned several localities where the seemingly all-powerful German army was defeated by Ambazonians, placing an accent on LEBIALEM and MANYU and we are seeing what LRC is going through in these localities even now.

Dr. DIEUDONNE ESSOMBA, also mentioned that Biya will be defeated in Ambazonia. He mentions that the Anglophone war (JIHAD) is different from the Boko Haram war and both wars should not be compared. He added that the people cannot sacrifice and pay taxes and you use the same taxes to buy arms to kill the same people who paid the taxes, you will meet your doom. Unfortunately, this man was never interviewed or appear in any radio and TV platform like the others because he does not sing DIMABOLA to the Etoudi god in the likes of OWONA NGUINI and MESSANGA NYAMDIG.

As we can see on the field, LRC is losing big time. Why are they talking about Dialogue now? I thought the form of State was nonnegotiable and Federalism was equal to Terrorism? Let’s go and fight. We can’t be talking of reconstruction when the real war has not yet started. A symposium was held in Limbe the other day, talking about Conflict Resolution through MEDIATION and ARBITRATION. Why mediation when we were made to believe that LRC cannot dialogue with terrorists and war was the only option?

Governor OKALIA BILAI, went further to mention that people in the bushes need to come to town because the Government cannot go and dialogue in the bushes. TCHIROMA asks Ambazonians to lay down their arms and apologize to Biya while Atanga Nji says if they don’t lay down their arms they will be crushed. So, is the Government now ready to dialogue? Why don’t they go and fight, they have the power over life and death, the military might to kill and burn down villages with impunity.

Treasuries are drying up and funding the war remains problematic. All these are signs of imminent defeat. Biya once again acted like a road side freak, a classroom bully who picks up the ball and declared game over when he concedes a goal from a junior team. Biya moves on to reconstruction as though the war is over when it hasn’t even started. Has the problem been solved? He even talks about reconstruction of schools and the imminent resumption of classes come September. While on the field, bullets are flying in all directions. The very next day after the announcement of the humanitarian scam, Ambazonia replied biya with the killing of two gendarmes in Mutengene and the abduction of three others, then the confrontation in several localities in Bamenda and in Batibo.

Biya isn’t ready to solve the problem. The same day of the Amnesty report, villages were burnt in Teke. Biya can’t be talking reconstruction when the problem has not been solved. Biya can’t be talking about reconstruction when the army is still burning houses in Ambazonia. Atanga Nji comes out and says that all the IDPs and EDPs are terrorists, reason why their homes were burnt. At the height of the crisis, such a statement simply means violence will continue. Besides, Atanga Nji goes further to say that Ambazonians will be crushed, meaning the war will continue.

On the Political Front, awareness of the Anglophone crisis will cause the Biya Regime to crumble. This may not be the primary objective of the struggle but it is part of the struggle. Biya is the Anglophone problem and we need not reiterate the harm he has inflicted on us, including the declaration of war and the burning of over 80 villages. Biya and his government won’t solve this problem but the next Government, so laying emphasis to crumble the Biya Government should be part of the struggle.

Our parents slaved and continue to slave for foreign companies in exchange for peanuts, people getting up at 4:00 AM in the blistering cold daily to be able to catch the CDC truck but what do they get in return? Peanuts in the form of wages; Social Security, Pension, Medical Assistance and all the like. We see even pregnant women standing out there in the cold, waiting for the pickup truck every day, toiling for the colonial master but getting little or nothing in return, people aren’t allowed even to taste what they toil for.

We worked in CDC for decades. We constructed the rail way but we were too poor to enjoy it because it served/serves the interests of the colonial master and the colonial backed regime in Etoudi.

How many people have tasted DELMONTE Bananas? All is exported to France yet our parents and relatives continue to toil there day and night for others to benefit.

How many people have tasted PAMOL oil? Grades 1-3 are exported and the least grade is sold to us. Those who go to pick up fallen nuts to plant for their personal benefits are arrested and imprisoned because we must remain slaves to the colonial master.

Are we not shocked over the announcement that LRC has less than 20% shares in Brasseries Du Cameroun, and the rest are French shares?

How many of us remember the arrogance and the oppressive disposition of BICEC bank, another colonial institution?

What about TOTAL filling station where Anglophones are in the sun, working at the pumps, inhaling all the odours, while the arrogant francophone girls are in the air-conditioned shops and they insist that you speak French to them, if not they snub you in their usual scorn. And this is one of the companies that is stealing Ambazonian fuel.

How many petroleum companies have as little as an office space in Ambazonia?

How many Ambazonians are recruited in any of these companies?

Yet they come in here, steal our fuel, steal our timber and get away with it.

The Anglophone war is a JIHAD;

JIHAD against the French Colonial master

JIHAD against the corrupt colonial establishment in Yaoundé

JIHAD against the injustice, the oppression and the isolation of the Anglophones for over 57 years

JIHAD against French interests;

JIHAD against TOTAL

JIHAD against ELF

JIHAD against BICEC

JIHAD against the TIMBER COMPANIES

JIHAD against the CDC, PAMOL and others

JIAHD against ORANGE CAMEROON

Any Ambazonian who is foolish to lay down his weapon is a fool. Biya has no intention of solving the problem. The drama we saw on TV called the Humanitarian assistance was nothing but a ploy to hoodwink the International Community that he intends to solve the problem so that he can be given another presidential mandate.

All was stage managed, perfectly scripted to impress the world. For the very first time we saw diplomats participating in a cabinet meeting. We saw the US ambassador who was visibly bored by the poorly scripted drama of long senseless speeches and he preferred to be manipulating his phone. For the first time yet again, a luxury bus was put at the disposal of all press men who were invited to cover the meeting and they surely received browned envelops at the end of the day.

Ground zero is making significant gains with the most rudimentary equipment one can imagine, and General Nambele made it clear that Diaspora was making so much noise but delaying the game.
