Midnight Thoughts: The Grape Vine.
Two days ago, exactly on Saturday nights, I got a tip from one of my sources that colonial Rene Sadi and two other Ministers were in Nigeria. I immediately halted and ignored because of the prevailing situation. Few hours ago, in a chat with one of the high ranking MP from the Southern zone, he brought to my attention that his sources are indicating that Rene Sadi and two other Ministers are in Nigeria. We both were/are not too sure of our sources as we cannot independently confirm. As I write we cannot confirm if he is there or not. However, be it as it may, we want to assume he is there as the worst case scenario. These questions come to mind. What takes him to Nigeria at the time our leaders are arrested? Is he there to force the hand of Nigeria to extradite our leaders to Cameroun or is he there to force our leaders at gun point to dialogue? We both pondered on these questions.
Furthermore, inner city Press just confirmed that the United Deputy SG is in Nigeria as I write. The UN says they are monitoring the ‘abductions’. We begin to ask these questions. What takes the UN deputy SG to Nigeria? Is she there on the invitation of the Nigerian Government? Was she sent by the UN SG to dialogue with the Nigerian Government to ensure the release of our leaders? Was she there to engaged in a supposed forced dialogue on our leaders at gun point if the case may be? Is she just visiting for other issues? Why is the UN not condemning the abduction of our leaders who are refugees in Nigeria? Why are they monitoring rather than to condemn the abductions outrightly. They claim to monitor. What is that?
What has stopped Tchiroma from coming out in a press conference to speak about this? Naturally we expected Tchiroma, Government spokesman to have come out, thank Nigeria for helping capturing our leaders. Tchiroma should have come out to praise the excellent diplomatic relationship with Nigeria. He should have come out to say how good neighbours they are? Why is Tchiroma quiet and implicitly Cameroun Government quiet. This is not like Cameroun Government. We know their traits. Something is not adding up from the Cameroun government. Are they waiting to finally extradite our leaders before coming out? Be it as it may, it is unlikely like Tchiroma.
The powerful article from a UK prominent human right activist calling on France and UK to fix the issues and organise a referendum in Southern Cameroons is very much telling and it is pointing to a specific direction. That article published in the UK most read tabloid is for a purpose-my thoughts are telling me. Discussing with my source, he again made me to understand the US and France may be involved in the supposed abductions of our leaders in Nigeria which is leaning towards a forced dialogue ( He was not sure on this, he says it is just a lead, I am not sure either).
But again, why should Nigeria Government keeps our leaders incommunicado for three days going to the fourth day now without any lawyer or family seeing them? Even if they are criminals (which they are not), they deserved to be seen, speak and be heard and await their days in court. The timeline in their case are different.
BaretaNews as an independent media platform, one which seeks for a free Ambazonia, we are sending these thoughts and questions out so that Ambazonians could ask themselves these questions and find answers to these and it could foster our debates even as we focus and concentrate on the release of our leaders.
We continue to pray for our leaders and asked them to be strong. We are not going to sleep until they come back to us. Whatever the case, the future is pregnant and Buea ONLY is our destination: ONLY.
Keep the faith

Come what may, BUEA is our only destination and Biya cannot stop us! We reach BUEA or die. The enslavement is over. Never shall we go back to la Republique du Cameroun. NEVER
We shall be free from submission. Destination Buea.
Thank you Bareta for that piece of mind searching.
I would say Nigeria cannot make an error to hand our leaders to La republic because this will tarnish its image and create unrest for its citizens in Southern Cameroon. Nigeria is not a country to be bullied by others so I expect them to be law abiding.
The good thing in this abduction is that it has made us all to realise that both interim government supporters and opposers stand for our leaders – thereby creating a far more greater legitimacy and support of a people. WE FEEL MORE ONE THAN EVER AND WE STAND FOR AN INDEPENDENT SOUTHERN CAMEROON.
The second advantage of this unfortunate situation is that it has propelled us to the international scene drawing in more stakeholders to pay attention to us.
What we need to do now is not to be silent and say everything is going on well. its time to use that advantage to sky rocket the situation and make it a situation of emergency by rising again as one man worldwide. Journalists in different countries will now be more interested in what we say than before. we need to seize this opportunity and use it well. They made a fatal mistake to our advantage so all country representatives and associations etc should immediately organise worldwide demonstrations and fund raising activities.
I won’t advice but expect the self defense group to plan for the next serries of attacks after the world wide demo. Its time to press hard and force the UN to organise a referendum for the Southern cameroonians.
Nothing has change at all. Everything just happen to be bad lock for LRC. The most important fronts of this struggle has never been touched even though LRC and it’s supporters have over and over done everything possible to break this front and it’s always the opposite result they end up getting.
The psychological effect they wanted to subject us in to by their recent move has already in less the two days back fires. It’s done. The whole world is not aware of the situation and this alone give our leader where ever they are protection.
LRC will be held accountable to Any harm that is done to any of our leaders.
What ever they try to do with our leaders will not alter the vector of success our nation is on. There is nothing they can do to our leaders.
Our people and current leaders are handling the situation more that expected.
I personally thing the government of Nigeria was forced by some European government or multinational cooperate. They got it all wrong. At this point, Nigeria has now liberated it self for all possible blames and there is no outcome that is not going to benefit us Ambazonians.
The struggle gonna continue and LRC just got deeper in the mud.
