UNHCR STATEMENT ON ALLEGED DEPORTATION OF AMBAZONIAN LEADERS; NOT ENOUGH.
The UNHCR, has issued an official statement on the alleged deportation of the interim President of Ambazonia, Sissiku Ayuk Tabe and 46 others to La Republique du Cameroun by the BUHARI administration in Nigeria. The statement has been issued today 1st February, 2018 in Abuja, and reads as follow;
“UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, has learned with great concern of the forced return by Nigeria of 47 Cameroonians, who were handed over to the Cameroonian authorities on 26 January 2018.
Most of the individuals in question had submitted asylum claims. Their forcible return is in violation of the principle of non-refoulement, which constitutes the cornerstone of international refugee law.
The returns were carried out despite UNHCR’s efforts and engagement with the authorities.
UNHCR reminds Nigeria of its obligations under international and Nigerian law, and urges the Nigerian Government to refrain from forcible returns of Cameroonian asylum-seekers back to their country of origin.
We also urge the Government of Cameroon to ensure that the group is treated in accordance with human rights law and standards.”
It is worthy to note that the UNHCR had allegedly received the assurances of the Nigerian government that, no Ambazonian was to be deported to LRC. Also, the Nigerian government had assured the legal team of the kidnapped leaders that they wouldn’t be deported to LRC.
It was therefore shocking to hear LRC propaganda minister claimed that they now “have 47 terrorists extradited from Nigeria, and amongst them is the leader Ayuk-Tabe”.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian government has neither acknowledged ever abducting the leaders nor deporting them to LRC.
Ambazonians therefore have continued to ask the Buhari Administration, if they have not claimed responsibility of abducting the President of Ambazonia and his team, which leaders did they then hand over to the LRC government and under what legal status?
As the interim government of Ambazonia has stated, since LRC has claimed responsibility of having the leaders and all those deported, they have up to 5th February to show proof of life or the Cameroons shall witnessed a greater Rwanda genocide.
This is already reflecting on the ground as, rumours of the execution of the leaders have created tension in the land. There are already daily clashes between colonial forces and angry citizens.
The UN claims to have vowed never to allow genocide happened again anywhere in the world, but it is currently ongoing in Ambazonia and they are passive to it. Are they waiting to for more people to die after the 5th.?
The colonial broadcaster CRTV has been making verbal noise within the day that the leaders are save and sound. If the communication minister claims not to have seen them, but is confident that they are in Yaoundé, on what basis is CRTV telling the people that they are save and sound? Are also just being confident like their boss?
Nigeria and LRC should be ready to tell Ambazonians the truth on the 5th of February or they should be ready in their usual military collaboration as they claim, kill all the 8 million people of Ambazonia.

Invade the Nigerian Consulate in Buea and take down all Nigerian diplomats there and in the homes 6 feet below including their family members and kids. Do not hurt ordinary Nigerians in Ambaland who are not part of the Buhari government.
Please this will be ill advised. What will be achieved by attacking Nigerian diplomats? Nonsense.
I feel your anger, but we must know that these savages don’t do thing for nothing.
They want to push us in to doing just that because they can not win. Outside of that we
Amazonian are smart and civilized people.
We are dealing with savages, barbarians who have no empathy or soul.
Nigerians don’t have anything to do with this. The government of Nigeria is responsible.
We must treat our Nigerian family back home with respect, this dose not in any way make
us look weak at all or reduce our strength.
The IG will give us further plan of action, but for now people back home please store food
and water for at least six months minimum. This is very important.
This is clear proof now that Bakia is a Francophone. These are the diguised Francophones who want to set confusion among weak minded Ambazonians
Of course the name is a francophone,they are all spies distribution in the last 57 years to keep the regime in contact with local communities making sure SCs stay as weak slaves, there are many of such familiar lrc names in the English regions for decades,again they kept themselves to themselves,did businesses, walked around like high and mighty,no one must trust them,some people mentioned that Ahidjo declared war on them and they were welcome by SCs to settled in the regions,another big error by our forefathers,they must start leaving Ambaland now & any in the IG must be fired as they are all traitors not to be trusted at all, any SCs within the IG with a lrc spouse must be fired,they are not trustworthy,they will kill for a few bribe money
News is spreading that our leaders were all killed on same day of abduction,killed in plane and dropped in the sea,if this is true,SCs must wake up,fund self defense generously so that same revenge can be a good example to those who have blood in their hands in this struggle and those who think they owe the lives of others,the colonial dictator butcher himself is hiding in a foreign country, remember no one is untouchable or bigger than the Almighty God
Stop spreading baseless rumour. On what basis are you taking it as fact that the news of their assassination is correct any more than what the UNHCR is saying. Truth is that we are all in the dark. Please be responsible.
Really Richard.We are all in the dark.Only time will tell.
Neither Nigeria nor Cameroun republic has evidenced that the IG is alive!!! If they have not been killed, let them be paraded wherever they are for 8 million Ambazonians to SEE. WE WANT TO SEE THEM WITH OUR NAKED EYES. NOTHING WILL SATISFY US UNTILL WE SEE THEM.
That’s it. They have till the date the IG gave.
We should not forget our people who CPDM members. I have been to demos, they never show up. One of them even said to me, whenever he considers me as a threat, he would kill me. Beware of them, because most them are close friends.
