Yaoundé Sets Up Large Screens to Monitor Social Media, as Facebook Dictates Ground Action in Ambazonian Revolution
BaretaNews has been informed that the colonial regime in Yaoundé treats every piece of information posted on the Facebook page of Mark Bareta, CEO of BaretaNews, very seriously. According to our source at La Republique du Cameroun’s (LRC) Ministry of Communications and the National Gendarmerie Headquarter abbreviated in the colonial language as SED, giant screens have been erected in their information rooms, where they closely monitor the Facebook activities of online warriors.
Of recent, Mark Bareta and Akoson Pauline Diale, have been closely monitored online, as they have releasing sensitive LRC security information to Ambazonians, since the declaration of war on Southern Cameroons by the dying regime. They, therefore see every Ambazonian officer within their ranks as a suspect because, before they could hatch an idea to confront the Amba warriors on ground zero, the plan is already found online, exactly as they had agreed, either on Mark Bareta wall or that of Akoson Pauline of AmbaNews.
One of BaretaNews sources at the Communications Ministry, is quoted as saying that “sometimes, we look at our boss, Isa Tchiroma, as pretending in whatever he reads out as government’s position… he loves watching Bara Mark’s live shows on Facebook, and those of us who have repeatedly seen him doing so really doubt whether he is just watching to monitor what Mark is saying and nothing else…” “Recently, whenever those at the monitoring room at SED, read the statement; “I HAVE BEEN BRIEFED” from the other Ambazonian leader… (apparently referring to Comrade Cho Ayaba), they immediately start making calls in the field to find out the situation on ground” BaretaNews sources at the SED hinted.
According to our source, the colonial regime believes strongly that the social media with Facebook and whatsapp in particular have consistently dictated the pace of the revolution on ground and that’s why they are very much afraid of it, even though the make a mockery of Ambazonia as a Facebook Republic. No wonder, social media platforms have remained blocked by the colonial regime in Ambazonia, since 1st October, 2017, (except with the use of VPNs), coupled with a gross reduction in the bandwidth of internet services in Ambazonia.
Speaking to one of the drivers of the university of Buea Campus shuttles that were initially painted in Abazonian colors, before being changed to yellow and white, he told BaretaNews correspondent that, the Vice Chancellor of UB had received a quarrel from Yaoundé, after BaretaNews published pictures of the new Campus Shuttles in Ambazonian colors. All attempts by the university administration, to convince the colonial regime that the Blue and White were the official colors of UB, proved abortive. A situation that forced the university administration to bow to the pressure and repainted the shuttles. With this, one begins to wonder when the regime will also change the blue and white uniform of government primary schools in Ambazonia.
It is high time the colonialist regime came to terms with the fact that this revolution is an information war, and so long as we live in the information age, controlled by the youthful generation, there is no way an analogue generation can defeat this digital generation. Ambazonians revolutionaries belong to the digital generation and are therefore bound to win this war with the revolutionary ancestors and GOD on their side.

Keep up the good work, it is a duty.
The colonial dictators are losing, what a shame,money and time they could be using effectively such as solving the root causes of the Anglophones problems, stop the genocide, release innocent freedom activists, clean the slums, provide drinkable clean efficient water/ electricity,restore civilisation of internet, bunch of outdated colonial failures, this struggle is more than one or a hand full of individuals,it is all patriotic SCs across the world,long live the Republic of Ambazonians!!
Is anybody surprised? That is no new news. Following international institutions are monitoring the social media scene closely: intelligence sections of the embassies of US, UK, France, Italy, Japan, Germany and China. Moreover the European Union with its delegation. UN uses different channels and is mostly reliant on information from the field. We shall not be deceived by the politeness of the diplomatic corps for the regime. Behind the curtains most of the western countries despise the Government of la Republique. The French hold a weekly situation meeting with their Cameroonian counterparts. They are not happy because now they are forced to find quickly a good successor for Mr. Biya. To avoid power tussle they look for someone within the ruling Beti/Ewondo clan. The best would be a person out of the military complex. They need a strong man. In fact they already put Biya in the trap. The war in Manyu was started hastily with small preparation. Dozens of soldiers already defected. More than 100 killed and dozen injured. One can say that war is not popular. The group of persons who forced him into this war are actually the ones interested to strengthen their position to succeed him. We shall not wonder they are even in contact with the IG.
