BaretaNews Statement: Of Funding the Liberation Struggle.
This is the people’s platform and it is incumbent that this platform sends out a statement in regards to the fundraising drive from Southern Cameroonians.
It is the wish of BaretaNews that the views and position of BaretaNews be separated from Mark Bareta who is CEO of BaretaNews – the people’s platform.
There has been so much debate online regarding fund raising. BaretaNews thinks that people should be allowed to contribute where they think their money will produce the desired results. Southern Cameroonians should not sabotage the efforts of another group in stopping contributions from others. Contributions have always been a voluntary thing and no one should sabotage the other. Just go on and put your money where it matters.
With groups running Gofundme, you can clearly see who contributed and how much came in and you can publicly hold to account those who run it. Now the spokesman of SCACUF comrade Tassang has clearly in a video articulate where your money will go and how it can be traced, therefore you must trust that information.
BaretaNews is officially aware of three major funding drive. That run by Ayaba Cho Lucas of Ambazonia Governing Council since 2016. That run by Tapang Ivo Tanku, interim Consortium leader since January 2017 and most recently the SCACUF drive.
It is the position of BaretaNews that if you believe that self-defence and block by block strategy shall bring restoration and inflict a cost on La Republique then fund Ambazonia Governing Council defense drive. If you think that the Cameroon Anglophone Civil society Consortium civil disobedience strategy and sustainability of the home front shall force La Republique on the dialogue table and put pressure on the international community then fund the consortium. If you think that SCACUF legal challenge of hiring an international firm to take La Republique to court so as to bring us that cherished restoration then fund SCACUF.
BaretaNews is calling for a halt in sabotaging the efforts of groups in the fund drive. Please, it is a voluntary process, therefore, put your money where your heart beats. Southern Cameroonians can be more than this petty petty gossips and sabotaging.
Now deep your hand into that pocket and put your money to sustain the struggle where it matters.
This statement is coming from BaretaNews.
Mark Bareta
CEO BaretaNews.

I 100% agree with Mark. Do not sabotage each other. Go and fund the organisation or even organisations you prefer. We have all the same goal. FREEDOM and LIBERTY for Southern Cameroon. We shall stop attacking each other. The struggle continues.
Mark, to be authentic, please publish account number and bank information for the Ambazonia Governing Council fund defense drive, as the sooner we take this palaver to BATTLE block by block the better. Even though the traitors in this warfare shall be citizens of La Republic who reside in Ambazonia and call their stupid selves (francophone-anlgophones or Bassa-anglophones, Bamilekeanglophones, yaounde-anglophones, who to us are no different from Igbos, Yorubas and Ghanians living in Ambazonia), like we have seen them sabotage our struggle thus far, it is to your best interest to keep your mouth shut and don’t see or say anything. Some of you have talked about tribalism on this forum and I would like to remind you that you are out of topic because your “so called” tribes are actually in la republique du cameroon and not in Ambazonia. No tribe called Bassa, yaounde, bamileke, etc, ever existed in or conquered any village, town or neighborhood in Ambazonia to call their own and not entitled to say one more word! You have already proven to be ungrateful to us for hosting and granting you sanctuary. They better not mess with Ben Muna and need to promptly release all our citizens also, or we shall revenge by a bunch for each one head help captive. WAR IS THE ANSWER.
You are right but it confusing if everybody is putting up a gofundme page on behalf of southern Cameroons.
There are a minimum of 10 gofundme pages out there on behalf of souther Cameroons, you can do a google search with these key words ‘southern cameroon:gofundme’ and checkout your self. WHO SHOULD PEOPLE TRUST?
When it comes to money there will be always fraud. What I want to say there will be always criminals to get profit out of our struggle. Thus the recipient has to be open to the donours. It must be clearly stated: Who receives the money and for which purpose is the money used. The organisations need to be accountable for what they do. Guys please take good care of that issue. Otherwise it can perpetrade the whole struggle.
Well, I got to agree with the funding part. It should be on the people where they’d like to donate their money. They will decide, with their things into consideration like the things which will eventually produce the desired results for them.
