Revolutionary Forces of Ambazonia Enter Meme County, as Resistant Kwa Kwa Village Comes into Spotlight.

There is a revolutionary hypothesis that; when peaceful change is violently resisted and suppressed by anti-change agents in any society, such agents only make violent change possible and unavoidable. This premise is increasingly becoming factual in Ambazonia. For over one year and counting, Southern Cameroonians/Ambazonians have shown the world peaceful resilience and restrain. They have exhibited a unique African perspective of peaceful and non-violent resistance for change, and some Ambazonians still strongly believe in this proposition of peaceful resistance for change.

Regrettably however, what Ambazonians have gotten back in return, has been a global satanic conspiracy of silence, violent crackdown, mayhem and suppression from the Yaounde colonial regime, that is not ready to see an inch of its supremacy over Ambazonia handed down to those they have considered slaves for 56 years. Shall bona fide Ambazonians continue to SING and DANCE on the streets with PEACE PLANTS and still get KILLED by repressive COLONIAL FORCES while the world looks on in docility? MANYU County says NO, MEME COUNTY and notably KWA KWA says NO, MENCHUM County says NO and the key counties of FAKO, and MEZAM should also be ready to say NO.

The revolutionary ideology of the Tigers of Ambazonia and ADF that started in Manyu, has now moved to Kwa Kwa in Meme County. It all started with the assassination of a pro-Ambazonian Chief, Ekabe Nyongo in the area by agents of the colonial regime, after the said chief defied the authority of the colonial Divisional Officer, in support of his people. During a funeral ceremony, the Tigers of Ambazonia, made their presence, stripped naked a colonial BIR officer and burned his uniform. He was warned and made to publicly disown the regime. He was however allowed to live, just for the fact that he is a native of that area. The Tigers then went ahead to install another pro Ambazonian chief as successor to the assassinated chief. The funeral however came to an abrupt end, when the legs of one individual were heavily wounded with a machete because of his attempt to video tape the actions.

In response to the incident, the colonial forces invaded the Mbonge Local Government Area (LGA). On Sunday January 14th 2018, the population was provoked by the brutal activities of the colonial officers as they raided the LGA. Freedom fighters, under the canopy of the Ambazonian Tigers, mobilized themselves and overpowered the colonial forces, confiscating security posts from Nake Bakundu in Mbonge LGA to Mile one in Kumba. The entire locality of Kombone, Nake, kwa kwa, Bole etc were taken over by Tigers, resulting to military reinforcement from the colonial regime and the exchange of gun fire between the two groups.

The shootings continued for two days, and multiple calls and reports from the Kumba-Mbonge areas revealed that at least 25 colonial soldiers were sent six feet as a results of confrontations in Kwa Kwa, while other sources talked of 8 colonial forces. BaretaNews leaned towards the 25 casualties because, the mortuary of the Kumba district hospital was taken hostage by the colonial forces as they prevented the population from taking pictures or going beyond a certain area. This, we consider is an attempt to hide the actual number of their casualties.

To further confirmed that colonial forces sustained heavy casualties in the incident, the colonial military has in anger, resorted looting and burning of houses in Kombone mission, Kwa Kwa and the Mbonge areas, which is a repeat of what they recently did in Kembong village in Manyu County, after the elimination of 6 of their colleagues by faceless revolutionary forces. The clashes by both forces have forced denizens from all these areas to run into neighboring areas seeking refuge.

The Biya forces and the colonial agents have proven to the world that, the only tactics they master best in a battle they cannot withstand are; raping, maiming of civilians, looting and burning of civilian properties. This is the reason why many of them will have to die in this battle, because they loot, steal money and still burnt the properties of innocent civilians caught in between clashes. You cannot forcefully spend the money and consume the food of innocent civilians after burning their houses and expect to survive a mysterious battle in their terrain. Do the colonial forces know the sources of the money they steal and the properties loot?

Meanwhile in the Northern Zone, the Ambazonia Defense Forces (ADF) have been putting up a resistance around Menchum, as they took out at least two colonial forces and their resources captured and taken away. The ADF claims they are upping their game, preparing the grounds for an Ambazonian take over from the Southern to Northern zones.

From the events in Manyu and now Meme, with Menchum gradually picking up, it is evidently clear that Ambazonians have taken their destinies into their hands. The illegal and continuous detention of the President of the interim government, Sissiku Ayuk Tabe and his collaborators in Nigeria, under the complicity of the international community is already worsening the situation on ground.

The suffering masses, now know that the world, especially the UNO and the African Union, who have the responsibility to resolve this quackmire, have turned their eyes away from them. It is like adopting the peaceful approach to restoration was and has been a wrong strategy. The people now have the choice to either keep preaching non-violent resistance and still be murdered on the streets and in their sleep by the colonial regime without any change of the status quo OR they respond fire for fire and die honorable in battle for the freedom of the younger and unborn generations.

The courageous revolutionary forces have considered the above two options and have now decided to match into Buea through guerilla warfare. Every County of Ambazonia is now rising to protect and defend its territory from colonial repression and occupation. #BlockbyBlock, as originally initiated by comrade Ayaba Cho Lucas has been bought by the people and this now drives the revolution.

Consequently, whoever is planning to militarize Ambazonia and conduct a fake and colonial Presidential and paliamentary election or whoever is planning to move about Ambazonia in the name of political campaigns for colonial elections, should be rest assured that they shall meet the TIGERS in the field, if not, the ADF and why not painful individual unilateral actions from Ambalanders.
