Subject: Open Warning to Paul Nillong — History Will Judge You
Dear Editor,
I write with deep concern and a heavy heart regarding recent developments involving Mr. Paul Nillong—a man who once stood as a symbol of hope for the people of Southern Cameroons, but who now appears to be walking a dangerous and dishonorable path.
Mr. Nillong, more than most, understands the brutal reality Southern Cameroonians have endured for over nine agonizing years. Our towns have been militarized, our villages—over 75% in some counties—have been burned to the ground by Mr. Paul Biya’s military. Thousands are dead. Others remain displaced, imprisoned, or silenced—all for demanding what is rightfully ours: freedom and dignity.
Yet today, credible allegations suggest that you, Paul Nillong, may have accepted funds from the very regime responsible for this carnage. That you may be helping to facilitate so-called “cash transfers” in exchange for Ambazonian votes in the fraudulent 2025 elections of La République du Cameroun. If this is true, then you have not only betrayed your people—you have betrayed their memory, their sacrifices, and their future.
I ask you plainly: How do you sleep at night? How do you reconcile your conscience when you know that our mothers are still living in refugee camps, our youth are languishing in jails, and the land of your birth has been turned into a war zone?
No amount of money, no political favor, and no personal excuse can cleanse the stain of complicity in this betrayal. But there is still a narrow path back to redemption. If these allegations are true, then take responsibility. Apologize to the people of Southern Cameroons—now, not tomorrow.
The people are watching. The revolution is taking note. And history will judge every man by the side he chose when it mattered most.
Sincerely,
A Concerned Southern Cameroonian
