French Cameroun Slays incarcerated Ambazonian Journalist
By Mbah Godlove.
The slaying of a renowned Ambazonian journalist has exposed the cruelty of the colonial Government of La Republique du Cameroun.
On Tuesday June 2, news of the death of local pidgen English broadcaster, Samuel Wazizi who had been under incommicardo detention for over 300 days was confirmed.
Arrested in Buea on 2nd August 2019, the former CMTV host was kept off from Lovers and family members.
The presenter of Hallah Your Matter would later be transferred to yaounde where he would be beaten to death.
Colonial authorities indicted the deceased Samuel Wazizi of having links with Restoration Fighters and for spreading information to promote the fight for the independence of Ambazonia.
The brutal murder of Wazizi is just one out of over 15 thousand Ambazonians killed by French Cameroun since November 2016 when the people rose up against the exploitative regime of Paul Biya.
Ambazonian journalists are planning a protest March against the killing of their colleague.
Sources suggest the demonstrations are due to be held in Buea, capital of Ambazonia on Thursday June 4 beginning at 9 AM local time.

R. I. P. brother Samuel. Another journalist falls, but not his indelible memory, nor his profession. Mr. Samuel Wazizi will be remembered as a professional martyr, martyred while practising his profession of journalism right through to a thorough end. His story must be publicized as widely as possible.
“La Republique du Cameroun” (LRC) must be held accountable for all the murders it has committed in Ambazonia. Not a single incident among its plethora of crimes in Ambazonia must be left out. Our hearts and prayers go to Mr. Samuel Wazizi’s family, his friends and loved ones. May the Lord guide him to place of solace and everlasting peace in His Heavenly Kingdom. May LRC’s adventures in Ambazonia be short-lived.
My heart bleeds and I don’t know when justice will be part and parcel of a balck french speaking country.

The Governor of the Southwest Region sanctioned the torture and murder of WAZIZI
It is horrible that the governor Belai should attempt to wash his hands off Wazizi’s capture and consequent murder. As chief executive of the region, the governor is in complicit with the biya’s military to murder Wazizi and the murder was carried out with his full knowledge. Don’t believe his lies. Why was the governor quiet for 11 months of Wazizi’s detention? Why did the governor not call biya’s minister of defense to question the whereabouts of Wazizi when for 11 months his lawyers were not allowed to see him? The governor of the southwest is fully responsible for Wazizi’s detention, torture and murder and should answer for it. The governor cannot pretend that he is not aware because WAZIZI was arrested and detained in his jurisdiction.
