Southern Cameroons Farmers in Meme and Manyu County are crying foul over the increasing theft perpetrated by colonial forces of La Republique du Cameroun (LRC) in their Cocoa farms. Reports say the police, paramilitary, and military, have indulged in brisk business over the thieving and sale of farmers’ cocoa beans, as the Ambazonian crisis persist.
In an exclusive investigation carried out by BaretaNews, these colonial forces use malicious means on acquiring the cocoa beans and then sell them to Nigeria buyers. Many confirmed that these soldiers sell a kilogram (Kg) of cocoa beans for as low as 300frs, as opposed to 600 frs.
According to Pa Afiianyo Agbortah, a resident of Kombone mission in Meme County, soldiers invaded the village pretending to carryout mass raids, yet carted away their dried cocoa beans. He cried out that he had harvested and dried 20 bags of Cocoa beans, yet, all were taken away by the colonial forces.
“Yesterday (Friday) some armed men in uniform entered Kombone ordering everyone to go into their houses. They then went from house to house, carrying out searches. My cocoa warehouse was well locked. When we work up this morning, we found nothing in the warehouse. My 20 bags of dried cocoa beans had been taken away by these soldiers. That is my life’s investment taken away just like that,” Pa Agbortah lamented.
A similar story is told in Konye where colonial forces break into people’s warehouses in pretence of carrying out search, to sweep away people’s cocoa beans put in bags. Mami Regina Moto, says her husband fled the colonial forces leaving behind 15 bags of dried cocoa beans. In broad day light, the colonial forces carried away everything, telling the villagers, the cocoa beans are being confiscated.
“It is really an unbelievable thing going on here. Our 15 bags of cocoa beans that we took pains to dry, was just swept away alongside that of other people here in Konye. We are all mourning because we don’t know where to go or what to do,” Mami Moto said.
In Manyu county, these colonial forces have extended their Machiavelli tactics to the Cocoa farms where they harvest, eat some, and sell others to Nigerian buyers.
“My Nigerian customer told me they now buy cocoa beans from the military. They go right into the farms and harvest and then bid for the best price. The colonial forces are sweeping away our wealth as they carry on with this war,” lamented Takang Ashu, a Kembong resident.
After haven successfully, driven people away from their homes, these colonial forces break into people’s houses and farms, stealing their properties. They are selling people’s properties at give away prices to those who bother to pass around and buy.

This is terrible…
I think these farmers should put ‘witch-medicine’ in their farms and warehouse.
These colonial armed bandits would not stop amazing me…
I thing that is what they should do too. An example to one will be a lesson to all. Nonsense
They should poison it.
Langer ting dem…
Wona belle go high…
Colonial thieves
Even here in Etambeng…
They are stealing our cocoa….
Let someone help us oh…
It’s too mich
Shameless fools…
I think their entire generation will be cursed by that action…
It’s so appalling that people soil and toil for a whole seas, and a bunch of lunatics just incase their farms in time of harvest…
Such a disgrace to the entire thieving lrc arm forces who behave like biya and his embezelling civil servants rogue, terrorist regime,in 56 years the thieving regime had kept the country poorly underdeveloped,badly run into a banana republic as they loot government money into their private pocket while the entire country cannot even provide clean drinkable water in this century let alone basic human needs,SCs are very smart be separated from crooked, dead, primitive lrc and their uncaring people
Attack and kill them wherever and whenever possible.
Theft in its ramification is taboo. Kibarinko-faced Stutterer Mark Bara and his megalomaniacs brought this predicament to us. In the past we did mind our business with paramilitary police (gendarmes) and others merely collecting bribes at check points and patronized off-licensed bars until hell broke lose with fellow monkeys and the self-proclaimed unrecognized Monkey-Tabe coming into the scene.When you log onto Bareta News, you see theft and shafting of white collar nature unheard of in the history of scams! Bareta asks for Paypal contributions and lives large with his friends on the proceeds and other asylum grants and donations etc.Do you guys remember the Banwa thug and Ambazonia kingpin in Munyenge who administered kangaroo justice in the name of Ambazonia ,extorted money from Bafia-Munyenge peasants and even spanked defaulters with machetes? None of you condemned that.The theft and untold suffering or white collar nature by Kibarinko Bara and Chief monkeys Anyangwe and Tabe etc are flagrant compared to soldiers looting bags of cocoa from innocent hardworking farmers. The moral here is that Ambazonia is and will always remain IMAGINARY/PUTATIVE.Creators of Ambazonia are the stereotypical black men: violent,no impulse control, full of TESTerone and destructive. BIYA IS A HEAD-NIGGER-INCHARGE OF THE COLONiAL FRENCH PLANTATION.NO ENGLISH SPEAKING CAMEROONIAN FROM NROTH-WEST OR SOUTH WEST WILL EVER LEAD A COLONIOAL BRITISH PLANTATION. White people are snakes and territorial. Snakes never bite snakes and Cameroon belongs to France while Nigeria belongs to England. Have you ever asked why Tabe was refused audience by the queen and why the British embassy has not relocated to Buea or Bamenda??Stop the whining for we are secretly considered a bunch of MONKEYS and NIGGERS irrespective of French and British heritage and colonialism. It should dawn on you.Stop your cyber-terrorism and let innocent people in the North West and South West live their lives and eke out a living! Before Germans and Von Bismarck shared Africa in 1886 in Berlin Nkambe, Wum,Mankon,Gbea, Kumba,Mamfe, Mundemba etc were jungles and HEARTS of DARKNESS where we walked naked, practiced cannibalism and sold each other into slavery.Deal with this and stop deceiving people with the dystopian Putative Republic of Ambazonia. A pot cannot call a kettle black.Thank you my fellow SUB-HUMANS!
Go and consult a good doctor.
My dear Ambazonian farmers, please put poison on the cocoa beans and pretend to be afraid so that they can go ahead to eat, steal and receive everlasting punishment.
