Ambazonians in Name Only (AINO): The Masked Betrayal of a People’s Dream–Part 2

By Mankah Rosa Parks

This second part of our investigation brings to light even more individuals who, while calling themselves Ambazonians, have betrayed the struggle for freedom. These men and women hold titles, sit in high offices, and speak the Queen’s English—but their actions speak the language of betrayal. We call them AINOs—Ambazonians in Name Only.

Here’s what you need to know about some of them:

5. Peter Mafany Musonge – Architect of Assimilation
   The former Prime Minister a graduate of Standford University and current chair of the Bilingualism and Multiculturalism Commission has built a career on appeasing Yaoundé while extinguishing Ambazonian identity. His commission is the Orwellian masterpiece of the regime—decorated with slogans but built to erase. As our people are slaughtered, Musonge hosts roundtables on grammar. He has never stood for justice, only for the preservation of a lie.

6. Paul Ghogomu – The Spin Doctor of Occupation
   Professor Ghogomu an ex-student of the elite Sacred Heart College Bamenda, rose to prominence as the regime’s preferred face for dialogue. Although perfectly bilingual in French and English, his role was never mediation—it was manipulation. As head of the “dialogue” process, he engineered empty conferences designed to impress foreign diplomats, not liberate his people. Ghogomu did not open dialogue; he closed resistance.

7. Paul Njukang Tasong – The Pretender Planner
   As National Coordinator for Reconstruction, Tasong’s portfolio is a fraud. Billions are announced, yet not a single safe school or hospital has emerged in Ambazonia. He presents PowerPoints in luxury hotels while entire villages are in ruins. His loyalty is to foreign contracts, not community recovery.
   AINO Crime: Looting reconstruction funds while Ambazonia burns.
8. Fai Yengo Francis – The Gendarme Whisperer
   A former Governor and senior security official, Fai Yengo has been a strategic player in the internal colonization of Southern Cameroons. He has worked to coordinate gendarme and intelligence operations targeting dissenters and activists. His calm demeanor masks decades of complicity in repression.
   AINO Crime: Internal colonizer in uniform.
9. Tabe Tando – The Dormant Diplomat
   With his very strong Nigerian roots, decades in the Cameroonian Senate have rendered Tabe Tando invisible—except when it comes time to defend the regime. In moments when voices of conscience are needed, Tando chooses silence. His title is high; his courage is nonexistent. Understandably, he has very little Ambazonian connections which make him an ideal defender of the bulu-beti hegemony.
   AINO Crime: Senator of submission.
10. Victor Nkongho Mengot – The Celebrated Clown of Dialogue
    A minister for “special duties” at the Presidency, Mengot is the poster child of pointless bureaucracy. He shows up in dialogue forums, government-sponsored festivals, and scripted town halls with nothing but platitudes. While our villages burn, he hosts peace concerts. Just like his father-in-law, the late Minister Nkwain from Boyo, he is a bully among his people but a lap dog to his Francophone masters.
    AINO Crime: Selling illusions of dialogue while villages burn.
11. Archbishop Andrew Nkea – Rome’s Agent in Bamenda
    When the Church should have been the conscience of the nation, Archbishop Nkea chose diplomacy. He condemned fighters but never the soldiers who burned churches and killed priests. He has hidden behind the Vatican’s robes while the flock was slaughtered. When Biya offered him a free car (PRADA), and a brown envelope, he suddenly became a spokesperson for the regime.
    AINO Crime: Sacrificing truth at the altar of ecclesiastical diplomacy.
12. Bishop Michael Bibi – The Collared Collaborator
    While Buea bled, Bishop Bibi urged normalization. He distanced himself from the resistance and aligned with state institutions. His refusal to call out the genocide—despite leading a suffering diocese—betrays his role as a religious buffer zone for Yaoundé’s comfort.
    AINO Crime: Weaponizing religion to defang the revolution.
13. Dr. Nick Ngwanyam – The Technocrat of Tokenism
    Dr. Nick is eloquent, visible, and engaged—but entirely within the confines of the colonial system. He critiques corruption but refuses to name the system that enables it. He speaks of governance, but not of freedom. His reforms are bandaids on a bullet wound.
    AINO Crime: Advocating reform while denying resistance.
14. Eric Chinje – The Voice That Vanished
    Once a leading media voice, Chinje had the platform to amplify Ambazonia’s plight to the world. But he chose strategic silence. In his rare public comments, he discouraged resistance and romanticized coexistence—while his people were slaughtered.
    AINO Crime: Intellectual abandonment and willful silence.
15. Chris Fomunyoh – The Think-Tank Turncoat
    With influence in Washington and credentials from the National Democratic Institute, Fomunyoh could have shaped international understanding of the conflict. Instead, he retreated into vague calls for reform and elections. His silence is as political as any speech.
    AINO Crime: Intellectual cowardice masquerading as neutrality.
16. Nsahlai – The Law’s Loyal Lapdog
    A brilliant legal mind gone rogue, Nsahlai dedicates himself to defending the legality of Cameroon’s grip over Southern Cameroons. Filing lawsuits against activists abroad and whitewashing colonial legality, he has weaponized the law against the truth.
    AINO Crime: Using lawfare to suffocate justice.
17. Barrister Agbor Balla – The Stockholm Syndrome Specialist
    Once a symbol of the legal resistance, Agbor Balla’s post-prison evolution has alarmed many. He now criticizes Ambazonian fighters more than he does the genocidal state. Appearing in international forums, he validates the state’s narrative with polite smiles.
    AINO Crime: Trading revolutionary fire for photo-ops with the oppressor.
18. Chris Anu – The Disinformation Showman
    Anu began as a firebrand for the cause. But over time, his messaging turned theatrical, his motives suspect, and his allegiances unstable. What could have been a galvanizing voice turned into a reality show. He left the movement in confusion and mistrust.
    AINO Crime: Turning revolution into spectacle and ego-fuelled chaos.
19. Uphie Chinje – The Polished Proxy of Pretense
    Uphie Chinje excels in diplomatic circles, academic forums, and international summits—but never in stating the obvious: Ambazonia deserves freedom. She represents Anglophones in word, but never in truth.
    AINO Crime: Representing the oppressed without naming the oppressor.
20. Prof. Diane Acha Morfaw – The Token Feminist of the Republic
    She speaks of gender empowerment, but not of the women raped in the conflict. She champions women’s rights at the UN, but not the rights of Ambazonian women buried without justice. Her feminism is stage-managed by colonialism.
    AINO Crime: Feminism without freedom, rights without resistance.
21. Dr. Simon Munzu – The Constitutional Architect of Our Chains
    Munzu played a direct role in drafting Cameroon’s 1996 Constitution—a document that entrenched centralization while pretending to decentralize. His recent calls for national dialogue cannot erase the chains he helped forge.
    AINO Crime: Legal craftsmanship in service of colonial integration.
22. Ngalla Gerald – The Tribalist Lobbyist
    Ngalla Gerald advances a dangerous narrative: that Bakweri identity justifies opting out of the collective Ambazonian struggle. He pushes for a special status for Buea, fragmenting the very unity that built this revolution.
    AINO Crime: Using tribal politics to fragment a liberation movement.
23. Minister Mbah Acha Rose – The Matron of Misrule
    The highest-ranking Anglophone woman in Biya’s government, Mbah Acha Rose campaigns in war-torn zones asking for votes from grieving families. She does not weep with her people—she courts their oppressors with brazen loyalty.
    AINO Crime: Mothering the system that massacres Ambazonian children.

Conclusion: The Fight Is Not Just Against the Oppressor—It’s Also Against Betrayal
The tragedy of Ambazonia is not only that it has been invaded, bombed, and colonized—but that some of its own children have helped make that possible. These Ambazonians in Name Only wear fine clothes, speak soft words, and sit at big tables, but they do not speak for us. They do not suffer with us. And they certainly do not fight for our freedom.
While true patriots are dying in the bushes, in prisons, or in exile, these AINOs are shaking hands with our oppressors, collecting government checks, and pretending to be “peacemakers.” But there can be no peace without justice—and no justice without truth.
The Ambazonian revolution is not just about resisting bullets—it is about resisting betrayal. Every people who won their freedom had to fight two wars: one against the colonizer and another against those who betrayed their cause from within.
We now know who some of these traitors are. We must remain vigilant, name them without fear, and teach our children that not every English-speaking person is Ambazonian in spirit. Being Ambazonian is not about where you were born—it’s about what you believe and how you act.
The road to Buea is not paved with betrayal. It is paved with courage, loyalty, sacrifice, and truth.
Let the truth be our sword—and let history be our judge.
