Cameroon Crisis: Let the people decide
This is the time to reminisce on the prophetic declarations made by two eminent Cameroonians: Felix Nkongho Agbor aka Balla and Joseph Wirba. The first made his prophesy during: Carte sur Table broadcast on STV and he said: the time will come when the government will talk about federalism and no one will give an ear in Anglophone Cameroon.
As for the second, he made his prophesy at the rostrum of the Cameroonian parliament. He said when the people of West Cameroon shall rise, even the combination of French and Cameroonian forces won’t defeat them. It was a defining moment in Anglophone nationalism.
No one in the government took the prophesies of the aforementioned men seriously and today, I am afraid there’s no turning back. Cameroon is finish and as wrote last year, this year the epitaph will be written on the tombstone of the dead nation.
Only the people and I must insist, only the people of Anglophone Cameroon will have a say on the fate of the comatose country. The outcome of the secret negotiations in Abuja,when made public shall not be binding if it does not contain the will of the majority. In West Cameroon, if the demonstrations of October 1st or September 22nd are in guide, then, the majority wants independence.
But it will be very cavalier to conclude that, because millions came to demonstrate in favour of restoration it is over and done with. Those against it will always challenge it legality.
To put an end to all suspense, the solution will be to organize a referendum under the supervision of the UN,UK, USA, the European Union. West Cameroonians, shall be the only ones to participate.

Please Elie Smith needs to factor in what’s happening now in Lrc as well as in Ambazonia perpetrated by Lrc. Amba citizens are being roynded up for their ID’s copied in prep for if a referandum was to be agreed. It will be rigged by Lrc. So I suggest even under the uspices of these third countries it should be organised by Ambazonians to reduce lrc fraud.
You are absolutely 1000% correct.
As a matter of fact all our ID’s that they are collecting is for them to be able
to emulate us in real life. In other words, they will use it and vote as if
we were the once that did it.
The UN and France will gladly help them.
A referendum is going to be our worst nightmare.
Some of us do not yet still understand how the mind of Europeans works.
We think they are honest people like some of us Africans.
The European is not controlled by truth, they don’t give a damn about truth.
In the opposite, they always seek to dictate, control, determine what is going
to become truth and by any means necessary.
Never ever make a demand from a dishonest people, for sure they will always give
you an illusion of what you demanded.
Zero chance of rigging in such a case. You will have to go to your village and register. Registration shall be supervised by the Ambazonian’s government in collaboration with foreign observers.
Everybody in the village knows everybody. There is no way you can go to any village and claim to be from there. The first question will be who are your parents? Where is your family in the village. Everybody has family in the village.
Why are they finger-printing and photographing SC citizens in LRC?
Any referendum will be organised by the AU or UN with Ambazonians. Voting can only take place at the chief’s premises. A person can only vote if acknowledged by 3 people to come from that village. Pictures of all who vote shall be taken and later scrutinized.
There shall be a standing mop to lynch you if you infiltrate from la republic because special alarms shall be set in case the people got corrupted by la republic.
we shall identify all the villages in all the counties and places of voting before they ever start. Each voting station shall have a unique ID and any results not duely signed by a designated Ambazonian delegate to that polling station will not be considered valid as many ghost polling stations shall be created by LRC.
We cant make the same mistake that is killing us for all these years again.
This is no joke, for real.
I’m not even thinking about this anymore. We must intensify everything
especially the arm struggle.
If it’s going to take us 30 years of fighting and bloodshed that is
OK.
No way, I say no way are we going to allow any people treat us as trash anymore,
and if they dare do, then we must make them pay heavily. This is the only
language that the mind of savages understand.
We better suffer for 50 years, sacrifice our lives and live forever in peace. The government
of LRC is demonic, satanic, evil and some of its citizens sees us as waste to
be incinerated, so I say We gonna fight till the end. I will not sit and wait for
them to come and kill me and my family, I better die killing them.
We are not accepting any Compromise coming from Abuja. No, No, No. Enough is enough.
This time we are solving this issue once and for all.
Our stolen independence, the fake so called reunion, the destruction of our nation,
the killing of our boys, girls, men, women, …, the imprisonment of our people,
the taking over of our god given mother land,
Not this time, not another fake Foumban.
We drank acid and sweated blood, there is nothing that we can’t face.
Long live The Federal Republic of Ambazonia.
When it’s time to prepare for the referendum, his Excellency Sisiku Ayuk Tabe Julius shall organize and create voting registers in all 13 counties of Ambasonia. Ambasonians shall register and vote in their counties with no interference from Lrc. New Identities cards shall be issued to those who want to register from age 18 and above as the present Lrc identity cards shall be declared null and void. There shall be no french spoken in any of the voting stations and all voting cards shall be in English. There shall be no “Oui” or “Yes.” cards. The results of the election shall be tallied and declared by the UN with observers from United Kingdom and france. No Lrc citizens shall be allowed near any voting booth as they are known for their corruption and double dealings.
I think we are a little bit ahead of ourselves here. There is zero indication that any negotiations are talking place.
We need to trust our leaders. They’re not stupid. They know what the overwhelming majority of Ambazonians want: full independence.
Our people are determined. No amount of brutality, killing, abduction, rape, torture, disappearance, etc, etc will stop us. Somebody needs to tell La Republique Du Cameroun and France that we, Ambazonian, are going to Buea.
Until they kill all 8 million Ambazonians the resistance will not end. We will resist for 100,000 years if that is what it takes.
By faith we are claiming what is ours! You believe it, you achieve it!
Negotiations or no negotiations, there is no turning back here. I am not sure why we are talking about especially france here. Have we not receive enough pain, misery, manipulations and dehumanization from these leeches?
I am loving these missives from you guys, Malis, Sunshine, Amba and Munkong. I think LRC don`t wanna hear about referendum because they know that even the their first slave Philemon Yang will not vote even for federation. Right now we can only guess what is going on with them. Most of them have tasted the bitterness of their lives from LRC and their families as well. More over we have God fearing people who i don`t see would accept any less than a referendum if at all there are negotiations, since Nigeria can`t say their crime if there is any and even their where about.
Deekay, Malis, Amba, Mukong etc,
Any good idea proposed from former West Cameroon, now Federal Republic of Ambasonia, was and is always met with ferocity, beatings, shootings, rape and incarcerations by biya and his gang of sadistic soldiers. They have no regard for Ambasonian citizens. Ambasonian Lawyers, teachers, and peace loving citizens are flogged, shot dead daily on our streets and some locked up in military prisons in east cameroon for no reason. Why the HATE?? Do we have to suffer this injustice for over 56 years for being Ambasonians? Students are forced to wallow in excrement, flogged and raped in daylight for simply asking their issues be discused! Goats and money always stolen by gendarms from poor village farmers and their families under the pretext of keeping law and order. Where can Ambasonians run to in their own homeland? I can’t imagine any day that goes by without Ambasonian being executed by biya in thier territory. his ministers and pro consuls have no shame in their systematic syphoning of wealth from Ambasonia to Lrc in bribes and stolen goods etc. The last insane thing biya has done is to have declared war on poor Ambasonians. This war is being fought
and will continue util biya and his thugs go to their graves. We want to forgive but how do you forgive biya when he feeds on your blood? Look at how many are dying in Ambasonia today and especially in Manyu County??? and some fleeing to Nigeria? biya owns this war which will swallow him sooner or later. Long-live, Ambasonia. Our independence is a task that must be done!!
Dear Elie, the talks in Abuja you mentioned are pure speculation. A good journalist, and you are one, should not write an article based on that. Nevertheless you are correct concerning the will of the Ambazonians. The overwhelming majority of our population want to go their own way. That starts from the farmers and end up with general managers and ministers working in ministries in Yaoundé. I can assure you that Philemon Yang’s and Fru Ndi’s votes for independence would be the first enter the referendum ballot.
Fear not my fellow Ambazonians. If it gets to the point where it is a matter of Referendum, our people must do the following to prevent any fraud.
1. No Cameroon national ID cards.
2. Every single County in Ambazonia is made of Villages and Villages are made up of quarters. Even the towns and cities are made up of quarters. Therefore, our voting commissioners must be made up of village heads, quarter heads who can in turn appoint other able men and women of their respective villages.
3. Each quarter’s Commissioners together with those they appoint can then form a local electoral commission that will do the registration of every member of voting age in their respective quarters. They know every Ambazonian family in their quarters and they can do the voting from door to door and the list finally compiled and handed to the office set up to take charge of the elections.
4. On Voting day, all electoral commissions shall monitor the voting in their respective quarters or Villages. Each family should arrive at the polling station together so that at voting time, every family head can lead the family into voting and can be identified by their respective commissions.
5. Once voting is complete, all votes are counted in place and results declared and posted on social media and or on a specialy secured online system (I am ready to provide my expertise in this direction without charge). The final tally of all counties can then be announced by the Ambazonia National Electoral Commission (ANEC).
These I think can help avoid any fraud be it from Yaounde, France or Europe etc. However, these ideas can be refined.
Folks this is really not time to be thinking of referendum. This is time to put pressure on the government for them and the world to understand that there is no way we will live in one country. Lets start using road side bombs to target LRC soldiers all over the national territory. Lets start using bitcoins to support our armed groups. There should be no place where the LRC armed forces feel secured. We have to take the battle to them where ever they are.
LRC troops are already under tense pressure. ADF and Tigers are expanding their campaign. On the other side. The greedy LRC generals embezzle Biya’s military budget.
