Interim Government Condemns the Kidnapping of 11 Students by French Cameroun Soldiers

The Interim Government of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia, has received disturbing news of the kidnapping of some students from Presbyterian Secondary School (PSS) Nkwen, Bamenda, all males, early Monday, November 5th, 2018 by “unknown gunmen”.

The Interim Government is categorical that French Cameroun soldiers are responsible for the act as they continue to show disdain for our educational system, chopping off fingers of teachers, staging abduction of students and using some as sex toys as was the case recently in Sacred Heart College Bamenda, in the Northern Zone.

They have in recent weeks been kidnapping our men, women, and children to put the blame on our self-defense forces whose primary objective is to defend the 13 Counties of Ambazonia from the incursion of terrorist soldiers from French Cameroun. The Interim Government of the Federal Republic had made it clear that it was not against parents sending their children to school but was worried about their safety due to the senseless war declared on Ambazonians by dictator Paul Biya, the president of French Cameroun.

The Interim Government is well informed that this strategy was mapped out by French Cameroun soldiers through their hired militias to put Ambazonians against their self-defense forces. We must have observed how these same soldiers usually come at the end and perform a simulation attack to free captives just to be seen in the eyes of Ambazonians and the international community as saviours. Ambazonians and the international community should not be fooled by these cheap tactics by French Cameroun soldiers, whose evil ways are already known.

The Interim Government, therefore, urges Ambazonians to be vigilant, while we work to locate the whereabouts of our students kidnapped. We continue to draw the attention of UNESCO and education authorities worldwide to the unhealthy practices by French Cameroun soldiers on the educational community in Southern Cameroons / Ambazonia.

Yours Sincerely
