INDEPENDENCE DAY SPEECH OF THE ACTING PRESIDENT of H.E. Dr. Sako as Published by Mbiydzenyuy Dave WANTANGWA


FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF AMBAZONIA: INDEPENDENCE DAY SPEECH OF THE ACTING PRESIDENT.
COMMENTS

INDEPENDENCE DAY SPEECH OF THE ACTING PRESIDENT.
Great Citizens of Ambaland,
My beloveth people,
My people of Mezam- Ah behnè? Njula’anè.
The warriors of Manyu- Aweho, Échina?
The brave indegenes of Momo- Asa’ahyeh?
Kupe-Muanenguba- N’lente_nyé
Ndian – Basésé Bâbugwayï
Fako- Elelabagmu Bui- Asa’akaï?
Nkokentunjia? Mv’le?
Lebialem, Boyo, Menchum, Donga-Mantung, Meme,
And to you all the wonderful people of  Ambazonia at home and abroad; Today, I bring you LOVE from the castle of my heart.
ENERGY, from the comfort of  the blossom of the great God of Ambazonia – the God of Justice.
With pride, I can affirm that our spirit is strong, our resolve is unshakable and the fervency of our resistance is applaudable.
Never ever accept anyone, anyday  to tell you anything less.
In just few a months we have travelled this far cracking hard bricks, surpassing tall mountains, demystifying the complicated faculty of understanding our true story and step by step we have Ambazonia has risen to fall no more.
Oh yes! we may not be where we would have loved to be right now, but we are certain this is not where we used to be. Hence , it is our duty to stir our hope, fan to fire our enthusiasm and boost our energy by systematically measuring our progress.
What we believe in, makes the difference to the actions that we take to free Ambazonia. If we can believe, to the core of our being, the depth of our hearts, that we will win this fight; to protect our nation, our women and our  children, then we will take actions to make that believe to become real.
It will be dangerous to believe otherwise: if you believe that all is lost, that your actions will not make a difference, that your voice is sunk in fear, then you have just decided to lose the fight.
NO!!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!!!
Failure is NOT an option.
We have not failed,
We can not fail
And we will not fail.

When We say “this is the people’s revolution” it is not a lip service.
We need each other to free Ambazonia,
We need other to re-build our nation,
We need each other to mourn our fallen heros,
We need each other to support our restoration forces
We need each other to defend our women and children,
We need each one of us to celebrate our victory. You are VIAs (very important Ambazonian).
We have tackled each battle with a different momentum, sometimes we had low scores but most times we were at the top of our game.
Every battle we encountered came with its own lessons. Regardless of how challenging they seemed to have been, we came out  stronger, wiser and better.
It is therefore imperative for us to unsubscribe from every negative energy, blame games, unhealthy debates, blackmail, sabotage and subscribe to the positive lessons we learned so far. We have to maximize our strength and as a people stand with one voice and roar a sound of victory.

Almost six decades of gross evil, six decades of colonial subjugation, of our land and dignity defiled, the Oppressor now calls us by our name. We have succeeded in uncovering the truth about who we are, inspired the youths and gained some fruits.
we are officially observing our first commemoration of our Independence day celebration as was courageously declared by His Excellency Sisiku AyukTabe Julius this day, this time last year.
This is a sacred day of our history. As we all go out in our various communities, with our awesome national colors, expressing in our own very convenient ways the rich diversities of our cultures and telling the uniqueness in our originality, we bare in mind that this is  a major opportunity to demonstrate patriotism, nurture brotherliness amongst ourselves and sponsor the internationalisation machinery of our course.
My dear countrymen,
Before being your Acting President, I am an active servant. I have been a fervent student of the rapid evolution of this revolution. This freedom fight for our nation for many of us is a vocation, we have been through different phases, thousands of people have sacrificed their lives and youth, spending an important part of their lives behind bars. Today, I would love you all to join me as I pay my respect, greetings and homage to all those who have laid down their lives for the actualization of our  independence.
I also pay my respect to thousands of citizens of our nation running into the far equatorial forest for their lives, the refugees in Nigeria, Ghana and other nations of the world.
I salute the sacrifices and commitment of 2 million refugees and asylees now settled in other nations officially banned from entering French Cameroon.
This occasion of our Independence COMMEMORATION should be a time when we take a solemn pledge of devoting our mights to push foward the train, work for the welfare of our oppressed people and to enable sustainance for our brave resistance on ground zero putting all our lives on the line for our freedom.
People of Ambazonia,
This is an occasion to refine and rebuild the national character. Our diversity and extreme wealth of excellence acquired from all the different nations in the world, in different domains should inspire us to be better leaders and nation builders, to dedicate ourselves to the nation and our every activity, linked to a collective interest.
We must be willing to pause and redress any move that does not inspire our course or gives a clear approach to lead us into victory.
This is the mindset we must encourage. We want to gain our freedom and to build our nation on  the honesty and genuineness of our untainted cultural believes. We want a nation built by our dedicated men and women, and not by politicians.
If we as a people have arrived here today, it is because of the collective efforts of  our teachers, our lawyers, Our youths and brave fighters. These great people and these great generation, deserve our deepest respect.
Brothers and sisters, today if we have attained such heights, it is because of the laudable inputs of every one  of you. I wish to express my feelings of respect and gratitude to every single Ambazonian.
We must  appreciate every patriotic gesture if we want to build a great nation and categorically stand against the politics of egotism. Our victory will be made easier by collectivism and not cynicism.
We wholeheartedly look forward to building a nation on the foundation of our ancient cultural heritage, where black imagination can have a safe field, a nation which Africans can reference and look up to, for the preservation of our rich values of enterprise, love and tolerance.
We do not want to build an economy that is a copy card of another, but hopefully a refined semblance of our wealth of discoveries to institute a reference society and an emerging economy capable of confronting global competition.
We want to build a socio-politically and economically  sustainable Amba that doesn’t transfer misery to her descendants. A nation that encourages equal opportunity for every Ambalander…
This is our Ambazonian dream!
Fellow Ambazonians,
The actualization of the Restoration of our Independence and the rapid construction and reconstruction of the reference nation we seek and dream of for Africa is a great task. We will need every single individual to be resourceful in building this nation.
We have gone through so much pain, so much humiliation and so much misery to permit any stumbling block. It is our nation, we have the duty to build it.
We cannot ignore where we are coming from, what we are currently experiencing and how logical we intend to prosecute this course with sanity.
We can not, and should not be an obstacle to our Course. As individuals and/or groups, we should be humble enough to question the impression we make when our people read through the lines of history we are writing at this time.
That notwithstanding, this Interim Government has always believed in collaboration and will continue in hope for true fraternity within and between stakeholders of our revolution.
Henceforth, collaboration will be that of the willing. This IG will  only consider deliberations for collaboration with any individual or groups that will unconditionally recognise the IG as the people’s government and as the leaders of this revolution.
We have come to a very pathetic realisation that anything less will be chaotic and therefore should be avoided.

Do not worry about the loud minority instigating nuisance within our revolution. But the righteous many must stand up really strong.
We must not give in to cowardice and intimidation. The washington AACC conference was a great lesson and we do not regret that particular initiative.
I want to seize this opportunity to congratulate Comrade Dr. Ebenezer Akwanga for his overwhelming display of patriotism in his quest to let the revolution succeed. Some don’t care if this revolution fails to succeed, but are determined to succeed through our revolution.
We will not tolerate failed ideologies of the past where governments have been created and destroyed because of the absence of mutual respect, the emptiness of purpose and blindness of vision. From this day onward, we will not waste our resources in pampering anti revolutionaries or insider-enemies of our progress.
NO!!!! Not now!
Not at a time when our nation bleeds,
A time when our nation cries.. The agony is ravaging and tears of blood flow so fast like the mungo river.
In spite of this dark days, I still feel blessed by the sparkles of light emitted from our brave forces on ground zero, courageously charting the course, paving the way and in-scripting our story in the hard books of history with their own very blood.
Everyday I watch  the blood spilt and tears of our people flow.. my soul is heavy but again my spirit is strong.
We have watched our mothers digging graves to bury their sons,
Our wives carrying coffins of their own husbands,
Our fathers watching in humiliation their daughters raped and treated with no dignity.
It is based on these sad realities that we are strategically positioning ourselves, for the recovery of the sovereignty of our homeland.
Going forward we will embrace any effort that promotes;
-The secure escalation of our ground game,
-Aggressive diplomacy,
-Sustainable public and international relations.
In our ground game apparatus, we will move from the level of maintenance of the struggle to actually pushing the unprofessional colonial forces east of the Mungo.
The honest truth is that we have only been doing maintenance of our resistance which has constituted a deterrent that in many cases has saved us from  the loss of some of our people and properties to a very great extent.
The bits of our investments so far have been to enable our people to survive in resisting enemy and while  planning and strategizing for better way out.
I want to say here and now, that I am more than committed to ensuring that we make this a reality in the shortest possible time.
Even though we have recorded some painful looses, here is where we have recorded our first victory;
We have out rightly denied the enemy- the colonizers any route to victory through WAR.
Mr. Biya and his cohorts thought that after their obvious intimidation, declaring war on our people on the 30th of November last year, we were going to wingle out like the generations passed. No!!!
This time around, we, the do- all-generation have stood our grounds and for the first time in our history we have spoken boldly, clearly and loudly that we the people of Southern Cameroons are ready to go.
I wish re-iterate that our Independence has been restored and we shall defend it with all our hearts with all our might and with all our strength!
Be it known that every Ambazonian of any political extraction must now pay a COMPULSORY PEACE LEVY of $1.00/day.
Those individuals and families who refuse to participate in this effort to secure our borders shall be shamed, rejected or penalized by their local Government authorities.
The next phase will be to get the occupier to submission. We have to bring them down to their knees to surrender. Do not be deceived by the consistent deployment of french Cameroun’s terrorist troops in our land.
Those are mere gestures of a dying horse.  French Cameroun has never recorded such resistance in their history. Believe you me, one of these days we will bundle them out and completely destroy the few traces of their roots in our land.
Yes!!! And that will be sooner than later.
On the vital aspect of aggressive and targeted diplomacy,
Fellow Ambazonians,
One year after the declaration of our Independence Restoration;
The progress is eminent, the victory is real. We have hit real strides and made great friends as we labour day and night,  lobbying for genuine partners.
With firm negotiations on-going like never before, I am more than confident in the future of our Nation.
At this juncture I would love to make that big announcement. Our nation- Ambazonia has been officially invited by the 4th committee of the united Nations concerned with decolonisation.
We will be presenting our case in New York before this committee in a few days time.
In the weeks ahead, we are hoping to start real interactions  right in the nucleus of friendly nations.
Right now we have already concluded arrangements with Kurdistan for an international soccer friendly march between our both nations.
I therefore urge all our youths involve with professional football to get ready and contact the office of PR at the presidency. We are already setting up a structure in this regard.
We expect all our talents like Enow Eyong, Clinton Njie, Fai Francis Ebai Tataw and a the host of others to step forward and consider working with my office to ensure this initiative comes to fruition.
The date for this very important soccer game will be announced very soon. We are looking forward to inviting Fifa officials be a part of this friendly encounter.
I wish therefore to seize this opportunity to advise the Confederation of African Football; We want you to cancel  any football competition in our national territory without the consent of our government.
We are an oppressed people merely struggling to defend ourselves from Mr. Biya’s Monstrosity and we can not advice the precious organizers of this major tournament, the proposed CAF AFCON 2019 Soccer tournament to ignore  a risk of such magnitude.
We urge CAF to consider withdrawing any decisions they made earlier. Cameroon is at war!
And this is no child’s play.
People of Ambazonia,
As we proudly and cautiously walk into this new phase of our revolution, it is incumbent upon us to minimize petty things and to project ourselves for the great future close to us.
Your interim government in her wish to galvanize strength from within, will seek to unite all the forces that are working tirelessly on the side of the people.
We will patronize the resistance that so far has a sterling and impeccable records. And we are confident that Securing my County Local government by Local government will appropriately ensure this.
As far as financial management is concern, we are going to transform the treasury of the IG. It will henceforth serve as that finance ministry of all those who recognise our madate as the leaders of the Ambazonian people.
We will sponsor their projects, even if they are not Government projects as long as they aim at taking us to  USA. With this desire we will create a register of people who will be accredited by the government.
We seek to partner largely with the civil society, for that is the best way to build peace and strength within a healthy and economically vibrant society. A strong Ambazonia we look forward to.
Finally, we want our youths and our women to pick up the challenge and to demonstrate real leadership. A leadership of pure service to our people and not power mongery.
History will never forget Dr. Ebenezer Akwanga for the remarkable bravery he demonstrated during his years as a youth leader. History will never forget Comrade Tassang, Mancho Bibixy, Fontem Neba and a dozen of others for rejecting the bribes from the colonizer’s table.
My question to you today as a youth; what will history write home about your offers. Seize this day off to examine your contributions and challenge yourself to be on the honourable side of history.
Join the patriotic fight and fight with every energy left inside of you. We will back you up, we will promote you and we will finance your independent initiatives.
My people, there’s hope!
In the mist of the dark clouds our lights have the tendency to shine brighter. Thank you for being a true warrior in the Ambazonian Vision.
Long live Ambaland Short live the war.
God bless you!
And may God bless the Federal Republic of Ambazonia.

HE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY'S​ MASTER PLAN TO INTERVENE IN BRITISH CAMEROON REVEALED by Prince Akame




HE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY'S​ MASTER PLAN TO INTERVENE IN BRITISH CAMEROON REVEALED

The Inner Circle Sources of CitizenSpokesmanNews at the Presidencies of the Republic of Cameroon and the Federation of Nigeria, African Union and the United Nations have all confirmed that the International Community has finalized plans to intervene in British Cameroon.

Our Sources revealed that both the United Nations Security Council and a Committee in the Trusteeship Council, in collaboration with the Governments of Cameroon, Nigeria, France and the United Kingdom have, under closed doors, AGREED to correct the mistakes committed by the United Nations in terminating the Trusteeship Agreement over the ENTIRE British Cameroon.

Details of the agreement between the parties gathered are not yet know at News time. But our Sources confirmed it evolves around AMENDING and/or REVOKING UN Resolution 1608(XV) of 21 April 1961.

CitizenSpokesmanNews learns the United Nations had to first admit her errors in order to take lead to correct them: for it was a United Nations Trust Territory in the first place!

That Northern Cameroons and Southern Cameroons have to become ONE ENTITY again as British Cameroon with her Four Distinct Provinces namely Camerons, Bamenda, Ngongola and Yola which are today called South West, North West, Adamawa and Burnu respectively as Self-governing States. That, our Sources revealed, it's part of the United Nations plan to make the name "Ambazonia" obsolete because it is an illegality!

The INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY​'S MASTER PLAN to begin with the TRANSITION PERIOD will commence anytime between 1 October 2018 and 31 December 2018 with both Nigeria and Cameroon troops withdrawal from British Cameroon, making way for United Nations and African Union Peace Keeping Forces to move in.

The $1 Billion Dollar questions that remains with us is, what will be the effects of the Presidential Election/Results on the North West and South West Regions; and, the plight for FEDERALISM in Cameroon?

With time, we are going to be bringing you details as the events unfolds.

You either believe or disbelieve this News. I will be back: Man No Run!

Prince Akame - The FEDERALIST!

BEFORE YOU CRUCIFY THE IG by JB 007


BEFORE YOU CRUCIFY THE IG
Ask yourself these questions:


1). What is a government?

2). How much does it take to run a government?

3). At what pace does government policy implementation work and more so, considering the current dispensation in which the IG finds itself? - Enemy #1 (LRC) to the East and Enemy #2 (Nigeria) to the West with the Atlantic ocean blocked by enemy #3.

4). How much does it cost to prosecute a war? You may want to know that LRC has spent more than 100 times what was raised for MTTB, yet has nothing to show for after two years of fighting us. You seriously want to consider this before prematurely questioning what the IG has done with those funds (which do not even amount to what LRC spends in a week). We have not even started contributing and are asking for reports.

5). Does any Tom, Dick, or Harry wake up in their bedroom and ask for s balance sheet from a government? If so show me how many you have asked for and gotten from LRC after so many years before you prematurely as some of the IG. *Let's all give the IG some peace of mind and time to do it's job.

6). To those asking people to stop funding the IG because of this or that (this goes especially to Eric Tataw who suggested that in one of his recent videos and other activists with the same mindset), tell everyone how you intend to account for funds that will be raised for the county by county approach and how it will in the long run lead to a strong government structure without undue infighting as to who did or did not do what?

7). What are your expectations of the IG and what would you have done in the time past do far differently that would have yielded those expectations given the current expectations and the fact that the goal amount for MTTB  was not even met?

8). I can go on and on... BOTTOM LINE is that all these individually generated attacks on the IG or premature demands from the IG are counterproductive to this struggle and the earlier we realize this the better. This goes especially to those who call themselves activists. KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT NECESSARILY SPEAK THE MINDS OF THE PEOPLE OF AMBAZONIA, except you can show prove that you actually consulted with all the 8 million Ambazonians and the spirits of those who have joined our ancestors in this struggle. We should try and exercise restraint, not to act or react out of emotions but do so out of reason and reflection.

We live in challenging times and challenging times demand challenging thoughtfulness before any action or reaction.

A woman just lost her right leg and left leg wounded - attacked by LRC terrorists who call themselves soldiers. "Almighty" Paul Biya just announced to his francophone followers that he is going to crush the "liberationists" (All anglophones).

We have a bigger fish to fry than to embark on these baseless (considering the foregoing) accusations and counter-accusations.
LET'S BE EACH OTHER'S KEEPER

Yaounde “Shithole” Regime Embarks on Corruption of Voters and Still Promising Change Cameroon edited and published by Dave WANTANGWA


A “Shithole” Regime Embarks on Corruption of Voters and Still Hoping to Change Cameroon
Top of Form

LA FORCE DE L'EXPERANCE
In the 1970's there were 8 pumps on Ghanastreet and 70% fewer people than they are now. In 2018 there is no public tape water on Ghanastreet. People are poorer in terms of amenities that influence their health than they were in 1970. Ambazonian fighters did not go around destroying public taps in Bamenda.
In 4 years time since we accepted to host the CAN football event, we have not succeeded in building enough facilities to do so. Something which Equatorial Guinea, a country smaller than some regions in Cameroon has been able to do and very successfully. Ambazonian fighters did not attack the construction sites of the football stadium. The chaos and the lack of vision, the perpetual ineffectiveness of government and the inabilities of 70 to 90-year-old men who rule the country is what happened. If that is the force of experience, please give us young enthusiastic inexperience. Fighting separatist is not a good enough excuse to remain in power. In fact one is left to wonder why the attempts at violent separation took so long for it was bound to happen.
Our roads are human traps that kill citizens daily, our hospitals will make some medical experts in the middle ages blush, We can generate more electricity on our waterways than any other country in Africa except Congo but we have no electricity that can last for a whole day. And we pride ourselves on the force of experience?
Our economy is in shambles, our indebtedness is reaching dangerous proportions especially to the Chinese with whom we sign secret contracts that do not reach the scrutiny or either the bought press or the citizens who in the future will be confronted by the disastrous terms on which we received Chinese financing.
And then there is the issue of corruption for the last 20 years where the sitting regime has simply managed a dangerous kleptocracy that has indeed gained experience in the theft of public resources with impunity. If one of your close Minister's steal public resources you can say well that person was morally flawed. If 5 steal you could say it looks like a disaster for the country. If 10 steal you might if you were intelligent conclude that there is a systemic error both in the choices you are making as to who becomes a Minister but also in the system that you have put in place for accountability and checks and balances. However, if 30 or 40 Ministers and heads of government parastatals are all stealing then surely it should have occurred to you that you are masterminding a kleptocracy and that these thefts cannot be distinguished from your rule nor can you simply distanced yourself from them. If you have not succeeded in stopping the massive leakage of public funds into private hands with all that experience, in 36 years, what makes you or anyone else think you will suddenly do it in the next 7 years. Why should we expect that you will suddenly become a dynamic fighter of a corruption that must by now have seeped into every artery of your regime?
Finally, there is the system of government. With all that force of experience, how much are you aware of what goes on in the country in your name and the name of your regime? The regional hospital in Bamenda has 4 dialysis machines for kidney patients attached to the water purification unit. If one of those machines go bad (and they often do) the doctor has to call somebody in Yaounde, who contacts a French company who is the monopoly supplier to the Ministry of health who then sends a mechanic from Yaounde to come to Bamenda and repair it. And sometimes he arrives to find out he needs to replace a part which must then come from their stores in Yaounde. This is the best we can do after 36 years experience for a unit that serves an entire region?
You appoint the members of Elecam, the members of the constitutional council and the members of the supreme court and you appoint the D.O's and make them the official returning officers of election results in their district and you talk of democracy? With all that experience has there really ever been a fair and transparent election in Cameroon? No, experience is not a bad thing, the wrong experience is. Being old is not a bad thing. Being old and clinging to power while driving the country with your age-mates slowly into the abyss is a horrible thing to happen to a country. Cameroonians are not going to wake up on the 8'th of October and see change.

A Good Reply to Joseph Beti Assomo as published by Dave WANTANGWA


The President, Anglophone Youths Association, Yaoundé
Responds to the Minister’s Press Release

We can now conclude that all Anglophones in Yaoundé have now become targets of your indiscriminate harassment. Before I proceed, we want to ask you since when it has become a crime to refuge our brothers and sisters who are fleeing from your military brutality and secondly, how have our house utensils become linked to terrorists activities... Mr. Minister, we want to make this point very clear to you...our brothers and sisters seeking refuge in Yaoundé are not terrorists and never should they be referred to as such in any future press release from you. We want to let you understand that should this indiscriminate harassment continue against Anglophones in Yaoundé, we promise to make this town ungovernable and unsafe for everyone, you included...We can no longer understand how your forces intrude into the homes of noble citizens at ungodly hours and carry away their TV screens ,fridges and other items in the name of terrorists search. A fridge or TV that was purchased some 20 years and has been in use since then, it’s only now that your forces break into home to ask for receipts... how do you explain that. Are you sure that everything in your own house has a receipt? Forewarned is forearmed. Do not let this crisis degenerate into something else Mr. Minister for we have had enough of you. If you deem it necessary, do your worse and we are ready for anything...After killing our brothers and sisters back home, as if that is not enough, you now start harassing us in Yaoundé...Be warned. Don’t force to do things that we have never thought of because we are capable...
Continue and see what happens...

Fighting the Cameroon Rogue Regime from the Diaspora by Mbiydzenyuy David WANTANGWA


Fighting Rogue Regimes from the Diaspora or from Home! Which is Better?
By Mbiydzenyuy Dave WANTANGWA

We write this article to analyze the discussion in various forums concerning the intervention of citizens of various countries in Africa from outside their countries. These are often called, those in the diaspora. This simply means, Africans who reside in other countries other than theirs. Several crises in Africa have been triggered by those who reside in other countries especially Europe, Asia and America or rather could we say, in the First world or developed countries? The general reason why these have become so involved in the crises in their countries is because once, out, they have seen at least some measure of respect for human rights, they have seen a high measure of freedom of speech, and above all, they have seen a measure of development that does not exist in their home countries. They then begin to wonder, why their leaders walk the corridors of first world countries and yet never copy even the least of habits of development and advancement for their own countries. They have no other choice than to trigger, participate and actually sponsor the various and varied movements for change in their own home countries. These have become unspeakable nightmares for African leaders especially dictators, who, if they had their way would repatriate them and punish them and repress them. Some have actually succeeded in killings, attacks, repatriations etc. of their citizens who live in foreign countries.
            We want to take a case study of the current crisis in the Cameroons. When the lawyers and teachers began the strike action that initiated and has mutated to what has become the quest for the independence of the southern Cameroons, the high-handed reaction of the government of Cameroon led them to quickly deport what is now commonly, called “the struggle” to the diaspora, that is, to the foreign countries. A lot of demonstrations, diplomatic offensives, social media outings, and humanitarian actions have been deployed by those in the diaspora in support of those who are bearing the brunt on the ground, what is now commonly called GZ (Ground Zero). But the question keeps coming, which is better or who is better than the other, the person who intervenes while being in Ground Zero or the person who acts from outside the country and who stands the better chance of effecting the much-needed change in the territory concerned? Who is better placed to incite a lasting solution?
            In my opinion, actually ALL are necessary in their own merits. Ground Zero has become uninhabitable for activists, be they social or otherwise. Freedom of speech is a rare commodity in Ground Zero given the presence of death squads deployed by the brutal dictatorship in place in Cameroon which is doing every thing possible to contain the situation in its own terms and thereby depleting the resources of the country towards maintaining its tight repressive grip on the people and keeping them under lock and key. Intellectuals cannot express their opinions freely, particularly if they differ with the regime. Actually, they are summoned in secret and warned to desist from or refrain from participation in what does not support the government action. They have found out that speaking is tantamount to playing a game of chance with their lives. The judicial and educational, executive and economic systems of Cameroon have been politicized. The military has become the handy tool of politicians to settle scores with their opponents, or with opponents of the brutal and repressive system in place. We realize that African leaders do so with the teleguidance and complicity of their western and most often colonial masters who determine what obtains in African countries irrespective of what the citizens of that country want. And so, it becomes clear that African leaders are literally the puppets of western regimes, the stooges of westerners who have no concern for African citizens, but for their resources which the puppet leaders guarantee for them.

            But then, given this situation, someone has to speak out. Someone has to shout out foul, someone has to bring the heat to the right quarters and someone has to keep the steam and heat at the backyard of the real oppressors who are the westerners keeping the puppets in Africa. Someone has to maintain the noise at the headquarters of international instruments that have unfortunately become the manipulative tool of the powerful western powers. Reason why those in the diaspora come in handy. They have to exploit the freedom of speech they still enjoy in the backyard of western countries to call attention to the abject repression that is taking place in the various African countries. They have to organize themselves to double up diplomatic offensives in various directions. They have to open up their purses to spearhead and actually ignite various humanitarian initiatives since it is not just political bickering but also intertwined with economic, humanitarian and social perspectives and concerns.
            However, it becomes very necessary, that given the extremely delicate and dangerous situation in the Cameroons, only certain actions can be taken by those who either find themselves trapped in-country in the crisis, who cannot leave or who do not want to leave in order to abate the danger that awaits them every moment of their lives while those out there continue to call world attention to the atrocious handling of this crisis by the brutal dictatorship in Cameroon. Those on Ground Zero cannot do what those in the diaspora are doing also because the headquarters from where the real decisions come is out there. The UN is out there, France, Britain, China, Russia etc. the real accomplices to the evil of brutal repression in Cameroon are out there and those in Ground Zero cannot reach them so they need the heat from those in the diaspora. It becomes a chain of collaborative action to be able to call world attention to a lasting solution in the Cameroons.
