When influence declined and donations dried up, Chris Anu reinvented himself yet again — this time amplifying Issa Tchiroma, a man widely seen in Ambazonia as one of French Cameroun’s most consistent propagandists. For many, this was the final confirmation: his compass no longer pointed to Buea, but to personal survival.

Across every liberation struggle, there comes a moment when the people must stop whispering their doubts and speak aloud the truth they already know. For Ambazonia, that moment concerns Chris Anu, now widely referred to by critics as “Mr I Brought the Deal.” He was once positioned as a communicator. Today, he is viewed by many as a cautionary tale — a symbol of how personal ambition, theatrical politics, and unverified promises can corrode a people’s hope from the inside.
This editorial is not a legal indictment.
It is a political wake-up call.
A long trail of promises — and very few answers For years, Ambazonians have been confronted with an unsettling pattern: bold claims. dramatic announcements. shifting narratives. emotional manipulation. and a persistent absence of documentation. Even those who once defended him now ask: How many times can a leader make grand promises without evidence before the nation says “enough”?
The “family tie” that kept changing
When Dr Samuel Sako became Acting President after Nera, Chris Anu introduced himself as Sako’s cousin. Later, the version morphed into something else. Then morphed again. This is not criminal — but to many observers, it signaled something deeper: a willingness to bend personal identity for political access.
The Minnesota scandal — the low point of political warfare
Few moments weakened the Interim Government like the allegation that Sako had a “girlfriend in Minnesota.” No evidence. No witness. No complaint. To many Ambazonians, this marked the entry of gossip warfare — a strategy that destroys leaders rather than builds a nation.
The CDC “deal” that never existed.
Chris Anu once claimed he had “brought” a major financial deal involving CDC. He presented it as diplomatic success. But no contract surfaced. No partners identified. No supporting document produced. Critics saw this as part of a broader pattern: Public announcements first. Evidence never. Accountability nowhere.
Millions promised — none delivered
At one point, Chris Anu suggested he had access to international donors ready to inject “millions” into the revolution. To date: no donor has been named. no pledge has been shown. no document has surfaced. The promise evaporated. The 135,000-dollar controversy One of the most discussed issues in the diaspora is the claim that about $135,000 was collected for supplies, followed by an explanation that the money was lost in a scam. No one has accused Chris Anu of a crime, and no official body has ruled on the matter. But many supporters still demand transparency: Where are the receipts? Where is the vendor? Where is the documentation? Silence continues to fuel suspicion.
The Lebialem weapons fundraising dispute
Similarly, funds were reportedly raised to replace Field Marshall’s seized weapons. Ground Zero fighters say they never received assistance. Diaspora contributors say they never saw a report. Again, no accusations of criminality — just deep public confusion and unanswered questions.
The “Embassy” in Washington: diplomacy without an address
One of the most dramatic moments came when Chris Anu announced that Ambazonia had opened embassies in Washington DC and around the world. PA building was displayed on video — but: no address was ever provided. no ambassador appointed. no accreditation recognized. no documentation filed with the U.S. government. Today, Ambazonians still ask: Where is the embassy? What happened to the promise? Was it real or symbolic?
ADF alignment and echoes from Yaounde Observers increasingly noted similarities between Anu’s rhetoric and ADF messaging. Later, they heard tones and arguments that reminded them of Yaounde security voices — especially those associated with figures like Colonel Bamkoui. His warm public embrace of Archbishop Nkeah further unsettled many Ambazonians who view the archbishop as too silent on the genocide. To critics, these alignments signaled a shift from revolutionary conviction toward opportunistic repositioning.
The destruction of SCOOP
SCOOP once represented a genuine chance for unity. Its collapse — under leaks, infighting, and sudden distrust — remains one of the movement’s great strategic losses. Several activists believe Chris Anu played a destabilizing role. They may be right. They may be wrong. But the consequences were real — and devastating.
The final break: bowing to Issa Tchiroma
When influence declined and donations dried up, Chris Anu reinvented himself yet again — this time amplifying Issa Tchiroma, a man widely seen in Ambazonia as one of French Cameroun’s most consistent propagandists. For many, this was the final confirmation: his compass no longer pointed to Buea, but to personal survival.
What this means for Ambazonia
This editorial is not about revenge. It is not about humiliation. It is not about legal judgment. It is about a simple truth: Ambazonia cannot continue losing energy to personalities who generate heat without light. The struggle demands: accountability. transparency. discipline. stability. and leaders who produce evidence, not emotion.
The line must be drawn
No liberation movement succeeds when confusion becomes a strategy. No people gain freedom by following personalities who thrive in chaos. After years of controversies, contradictions, and unanswered questions, many Ambazonians have reached the same conclusion: This is a political actor Ambazonians must approach with extreme caution — and keep far from national responsibility. The dream of Ambazonia is too precious for illusions.
