The Union of Emerging Societies in Africa (UNESAF), a legalised Pan African Organisation, has called on the African Union (AU), to open investigations and stop the genocide currently going on in the Federal Republic of Ambazonia.
In a strongly worded letter addressed to the AU Chairperson, Dr. Moussa Faki Mahamat, UNESAF blames AU’s suspicious silence to be one of the propelling factors in the fuelling of extrajudicial killings currently taking place in Ambazonia.
The letter dated, May 18 2018, and co-signed by UNESAF’s Chairperson, Itoe Francis Ebongue and the Programs Coordinator, Richard Akuffo Yirenkyi, the Pan African Organisation is calling on AU to pre-empt any unforeseen circumstances, in the already decayed situation.
“Excellency, the inhuman treatment dashed onto the people of Southern Cameroon by the Republic of Cameroun is beyond imaginations; the killings, maiming, raping, express use of firearms, the burning of homes with people inside and over seventy villages set on fire and indigenes fleeing to bushes, forests and neighboring Nigeria for refuge is weighing beyond genocide expression, more than 160,000 people including children, pregnant women and aged people have been displaced for what could or can be avoided. How can a people simply expressing their rights to self-determination and better living conditions suffer targeted killings with a clear password to ethnic cleansing? This is unacceptable in the 21st century where we have all intelligence, resources and competences to quench the fire on the mountain. We wish to also inform the world through this letter that the War President Paul Biya declared to the people of Southern Cameroons with a new name “The Federal Republic of Ambazonia” terming them terrorists, extremists, secessionists etc is a backup of his colonial rule and master “France” to continue the annexation of the people and their territory which is still unacceptable and a violation of the United Nations Charter, African Union Charter and all Treaties and Conventions duly ratified nationally, regionally and internationally,” the letter read in part.
UNESAF also reminded the AU that amidst thunderous calls from international organisations, for a lasting solution be set to end the crisis, Paul Biya and CameroUn have decided to shun all dialogue, and instead engage the deprived people of Ambazonia into a full-blown war. To that, UNESAF urges the AU to join them in heaping Cameroun with the worst of sanctions, that can stop the ongoing genocide.
“UNESAF and other Civil Society Organizations in Africa shall not hesitate in the nearest weeks and months to adopt a systematic sanction that will freeze all the diplomatic institutions and economic investments of the Republic of Cameroun in the African continent. UNESAF and other civil societies in the continent cannot support or watch any form of genocide, war or other sort of crises detrimental to the future of Africa and Africans. We further join the rest of Africa and the World to alert President Paul Biya to immediately and unconditionally adhere to the call for negotiations and to release all the leaders of the Pro-independence Southern Cameroons who were illegally abducted at Nera Hotel in Abuja, Nigeria and extradited to the Republic of Cameroun in violation of International Human Rights Law,” the letter read in part.
The letter that also included some startling revelations about the present state of Southern Cameroons, amid continues brutalisation from LRC, suggested that Paul Biya and his cohorts be pressured to end the crisis.
UNESAF is a legalised Pan African Organisation, found in almost all the countries in Africa. The promote justice and a one and united Africa.

I assume the chairperson of the AU has also got a golden statue from Yaoundé.
Let ECOWAS come in Ambaland and stop that LRC nonsense.
Come on you are not this childish to appeal for ecowas in a land you know the way through is from yaounde. Nobody can’t enter there if not authorised by yaounde not even a small bushfaller like you and bareliar.
Now you’re calling for ECOWAS mean while Nigeria the ECOWAS’predominant state said Nb to you ? It’s time to let innocent children go to school to prepare their future.

biya the terrorist who declared war on Ambazonia will run but not be able to hide. The beheadings, rape, torture and incarcerations biya is carrying out in Ambazonia are mounting. biya’s day of reckoning is coming. biya’a entire family and people shall l be sacrificed too when the hunter becomes the hunted. biya’s declared war, the war will swallow him soon.
Almost 1000 soldiers have already died a useless dead for an old dictator. Army of LRC wake up. You cannot win a fight against determined people. Ambazonia has come to stay. Aluta continua
Then why do you beg for help? Are you tired of calling the superpower to join you? By the way who ended the genocide in Rwanda? I think biya have not yet given the order for the genocide so surrender and put an end to the suffer of our peoples
@Dougghy
“Then why do you beg for help”.Let this example suffice as an answer. The best physician specialists in their chosen field that I’ve seen and worked with have always needed and consulted input from other sub specialties in order to render a holistic care to the patient for the best outcome. Let’s say a neuro surgeon operates on a patient with brain tumor and thereafter transfers the said patient to the ICU. A critical care physician must be on board along with the neuro surgeon and a neurologist and other support staff to manage the patient to full recovery. When a patient’s life is at stake and the best outcome is sought, many heads are needed.
In the context of Southern Cameroon/Ambazonia struggle for restorating its independence and considering the example cited above, it is myopic on your part to ask why help is being sought.
As you are aware, since the start of this struggle, Ambazonians have been engaged in diplomacy with Europeans and American nations as well as the United Nations, have held demonstrations at multiple embassies worldwide and most importantly brave Ambazonians on ground Zero have engaged the murderous thugs of LRC in DEFENSE of the people and property of our motherland – at the risk of their precious lives.
Even as powerful as the United States of America is, president George Bush (41) sent his Secretary of State at the time James Baker as emissary to oversee countries, seeking help and building support for a coalition to invade Iraq.
Ask yourself then, Mr. Dougghy, where your question fits in and what is wrong in asking for help from multiple sources to STOP Biya killing our people. Do you see this struggle against injustice and 57 years of marginalization as a joke? I hope not.
Please Mbeuh you waste your precious time. The East Camerounian regime engages internet trolls. Their purpose is to distract our struggle. It doesn’t make sense to discuss with them. They even give contradictionary statements of their locations.
WHEN I HEAR YOU GEORGE ; YOU ARE SUFFERING FOR MORE FRUSTRATIONS AND THINKING THAT ONLY AMBALAND WHOSE MAKES YOU COME OUT TO EXPRESS YOURSELF.

1000 SOLDIERS DIED HAHAHA; MANIPULATION
BUT DONT WORRY THE END OF GAME IS TOO LONG
I AM FROM SW AND CAMEROONIAN…
For all the Thomases an non believers. The figure of 1000 is indeed not correct. We talk of about 850 LRC soldiers killed during the last 6 months in Ambazonia. From 1st of April up today about 200 LRC soldiers lost their life for the dictator Paul Biya. But the casualties on the side of the SC population are much higher. The Cameroun ministry of defense fears to open publish figures. But we still have our sources in the LRC ministries. What we understood is that the regime is keeping that information from Biya himself. They don’t inform him about the exact number of regime casualties. But there is a weekly meeting concerning ongoing military operations. Not only for Ambazonia but for Far North and North region of East Cameroun too.
YOU ARE SO VERY STRONG.
YOU WILL BE THE FIRST TO CRY AND BEG THE HELP FOR COUNTRIES [ USA UK AUSTRALIA] THAT YOU ARE CALLING SLAVERIES MASTERS TO PROVIDE YOU HELP.
WHEN BIYA WILL WHISTLE THE ENDS DONT CALL FOR GENOCIDE…
