Glaring Signs of Victory and a Tough Last Fight: How Ready are Ambazonians?
At the wake of the Southern Cameroons crisis is October, 2016 when the defiant Hon. Joseph Wirba, MP representing Jakiri Special Constituency of Bui in LA Republique’s Parliament stood on the rostrum and declared that the crisis in West Cameroon is what will bring down Cameroun, many were those La Republique Du Cameroun (LRC) boastful slave masters who certainly took it to be just one of those his normal “rantings” when he always complained about the oppressive treatments given to Southern Cameroonians in this 56 year old FAKE union with them. In their shortsightedness, they said Southern Cameroonians would soon get hungry and return back to their normal activities.
It is almost a year and the DUTIFUL RESISTANCE has now metamorphosed into an INDEPENDENCE RESTORATION MOVEMENT in which Southern Cameroonians are more than ever, determine to free themselves from the shackles of LRC’s colonial subjugation and repression. All attempts and calls by civil society, local and international organizations and diplomatic communities on the need for Paul Biya and LRC to address the underlying causes of the crisis through a genuine and inclusive dialogue have fallen on deaf ears, spiced with increasing repression of the peaceful dissent by Southern Cameroonians through Ghost Towns, Schools and Courts boycotts.
Just one week to the start of another academic year under LRC’s control, Ambazonians are inching on victory and LRC is bent on using all military might at her disposal to truncate this victory by forcing schools to resume in Southern Cameroons.
Information from reliable sources within the Southern Cameroons Governing Council reveal that the international community is now in high effervescence on the so called anglophone crises.
Germany for instance had taken keen interest and has repeatedly advised Yaounde to open dialogue on federalism. But Yaounde in her pride, repressive and slave master mentality has responded that the crises is over and schools will resume come September 2017 and normalcy will return. According to reports, the German government has repeatedly sent some German media organs to verify these claims.
Classified information reveals now that the position of the German government is that if schools fail to resume come September 2017 and if ghost towns persist, then she will cause all her allies to push for a referendum for the people of the former British Southern Cameroons to determine the direction of their future. Consequently, the LRC is doing all for schools to resume and for ghost towns to end. This must be achieved at all cost less they loose everything. We can now understand how desperate they are. It’s now a do or die affair. Southern Cameroons have consequently been militarised
It is now left for the resistant people of Ambazonia to give-up, resume schools and avoid international intervention or boycott schools in September and get their New Nation once and for all.
Worthy to also note that four items on the agenda of the September sessions at the United Nations concern Southern Cameroonians directly if aptly exploit :
-Agenda 60 and 62 deals with the implementation of granting of independence to trust territories. This can be followed through by the Southern Cameroons Leadership as information suggest it can be pushed through by friendly countries and bodies targeting a solution through the UK.
-Agenda 61 targets the manipulation of our educational system by LRC. As a non self governing state, we have the right to keep our educational heritage. Therefore, a resolution could be passed asking LRC to hands off Southern Cameroons Educational heritage
-Agenda 72 debates on peoples right to self determination is non negotiable. This can be pushed through by Southern Cameroons Leadership through friendly Nations as by international law Southern Cameroons is described as a people.
However, an intensification of ghost towns and school boycott will play the magic. But how prepare are Southern Cameroonians for this last fight? If the outcome of the meeting between traders and the colonial government delegate of Bamenda; and the three days effective ghost towns last week are anything to go by, then, there is every reason to believe that our people are hungry for freedom and are resolute in their determination to fight to the finish. In an attempt to convince traders and parents of Bamenda to end ghost towns and sent their children to school, the government delegate met a brick wall as the traders and parents maintained their grounds on the need for a demilitarized environment and the release of all arrested before normalcy can return to town. The weeks ahead are therefore pregnant and promise to be full with a lot of fireworks.
While we await a possible referendum in Ambaland in the months ahead or as GOD wills in HIS decision to free us, BaretaNews can only advise our people to stock their homes and remain peaceful in their resistance to avoid genocidal actions from the brutal forces of LRC. We shall however not hesitate to defend ourselves if our people are attacked without provocations.

And it shall come to pass exactly as intended. Freedom has no price tag attached to it.
I just think Germany doesnt have the veto power to make France leave us.
I am confused. Are we waiting for the proclamation of the restoration of our independence on 1st Oct 2017 or expecting a Referendum in the months ahead?
I understand that we use all means. Thus proclamation of independence. Continuing civil disobedience strategies. Further disengagement with LRC. On the other hand fostering diplomatic ties with supporters. We shall win.
here we have a bunch of confused idiots. Thought guys wanted to declare your independence by yourselves and now you are waiting for a referendum initiated by the west. What a pity.
Yes, to you they might be “a bunch of confused idiots”, but at least they have refused to be the perpetual slave of france. Look at the world today and see the way Africans are treated. As long as people like you and the likes of biya are alive, Africans will continue to be treated like subhumans. Thank God that some of us have decided to say Enough is Enough for we believe that like every human being, Africans deserve the best.
Yes Mukong, thank God some of you have decided to change slave masters from France to Germany and all the likes. Slavery seems to flow in your blood. Ask these people you call your leaders how many concessions they have made to foreign powers to speak out for them in this matter, France, strangely included. Ask them! I am not an anglophone as you understand one to be in your tiny minds but a great supporter of the movement. However, looking at how these people are struggling to change dancers and maintain the same song, I begin to wonder where they are heading too.
Have these your leaders told you the negotiations they are having with France to back them up?
Even after so many years of living in the diaspora and having been educated in the Anglo-Saxon system- the best as they claim – had they not understood that with international politics there are no friends and no enemies but permanent interests?
What part of the interest have they conceded to harness support?
My brother, if you hear that the UN Security Council has called for federalism, cessation, independence, referendum or whatever that favours this crisis without a veto from any Paul Biya’s backed country, begin to pack your things. Don’t jubilate, ask what your leaders have sold out to have that!
Oh, poor man on the street, who knows nothing! Oh brainless crowd that knows only one thing: Bonjour must go as Wirba championed in Kumbo.
How I weep that we have arrived at this point.
I championed for a home backed revolution, not some world natural resources hunting powers! That is what they are out for. They don’t care whether you are living in slums, poor, hungry. They know that they are seeing that, in fact, they are doing everything to keep you in that state so that your resources are tapped out very illegally.
And you turn to them to help you maintain poverty and hopelessness so that they and your present hero leaders smuggle out your resources.
I sincerely thought you guys were wiser than this, but…
By the way, I speak English better than some of you who did Anglo-Saxon education. Reason beyond that!
Lot’s of imaginations in your post. Can you brief us on one concession our leaders have made? By the way, we are not anglophones. We are Southern Cameroonians. You, enemies of the free-world have tactically used the term ‘anglophone’ to facilitate the annihilation of a people. It shall end.
Since you understand world politics is all about interests and neither friendship nor enmity, why don’t you understand our fundamental driving force is freedom from the tyranny of a tiny pseudo colonizer? We accept to concede a tiny portion of our natural resources and have our freedom to elect our leaders, manage our resources and manage our people. If we conceded to Germany as you claim, Germany won’t keep our reserves in a German bank. Germany won’t appoint our leaders as France does with you guys. Germany won’t take all and leave nothing. Germany won’t oblige us to join a moribund monetary zone.
You had wished this revolution is fought at home and on the streets so you and your despotic colonizer can murder our people thereby continue with the planned genocide. We learned our lessons in 1990. We fought hard for democracy, we lost our brothers on the streets of Bamenda and today you lazy, brainless colonized people publish papers, write and champion all television debates with your hollow historical facts, porous political understanding, and baseless arguments. Yes, we shall not kill our kindred for you. Fight your own cause. We can sell all we have to Germany, how does it concern you? It is none of your business. Our people shall be free at least to vote in free and fair elections.
We managed the little we had until the UN, France, and LRC stole everything from us. We shall continue to manage what we have.
Alluta continua!
