Human Right Watch, the authoritative institution that has been on Cameroun neck on its atrocities in Ambazonia has condemned the treatment of Barrister Shufai as he was discharged back to the prison without adequate medical attention. The institution is raising alarm as this is a direct kill situation from the Biya’s regime on Ambazonia prisoners. Read on
Separatist leader Blaise Sevidzem Berinyuy, also known as Shufai, was discharged from the hospital and sent back to a high security prison in Yaoundé on May 21, despite his critical health condition and apparently following pressure by the head of the detention facility on medical staff. Transferring Shufai, who is immunocompromised, to a crowded prison setting where transmission of Covid-19 is more likely seriously enhances the threats to his health and life.
On May 16, Shufai, one of the leaders of the separatist group “Ambazonia Interim Government,” was transferred from the prison to the hospital for non-Covid-19-related illness. His family and lawyers said he was unconscious, and his health had deteriorated significantly over the previous 10 days. They reported that on May 19, Shufai was handcuffed to his hospital bed for the night, despite being barely able to move.

We condemn, we are watching, we urge, both parties should…. blah blah blah…. same old cliche. The only word Yaoundé understands is physical punishment, not intangible threats. Cut off vital funds, impose military sanctions, suspend the bastards from international organizations, block sale of their products like cocoa, timber, palm oil etc. Do something concrete that will halt the economically moribund regime on its tracks. Rubbish! Ambazonia lives matter!
We must remain resolute in the face of all this dehumanization and profound provocation. It will be foolish for us to expect others to heal our wounds. Not so long ago we were always hearing this talk of super power this and super power that. Today, the Chinese have brought humanity to the brink of extinction and the western world has suddenly transform into toothless bulls.
Ambazonians, we have to earn respect and not demand respect; for the blood and sweat of our heroes shall not flow in vain.
