Fellow Ambazonians, the danger is clear.
Until the option of complete independence is formally recognized as a legitimate path in any negotiation, anything less will be betrayal.
By An Ambazonian patriot
History often tests nations twice — first as tragedy, then as warning. Today, the people of Ambazonia stand again at that crossroads. The question before us is simple but profound: will we repeat the error of our founding fathers, or will we finally correct it?
For decades, Southern Cameroonians have lamented how John Ngu Foncha and Solomon Tandeng Muna led the territory into a union with La République du Cameroun without a signed treaty. That act — or omission — remains one of the greatest betrayals of our collective destiny. But if we are honest, our current generation is walking dangerously close to the same trap.
A Manufactured Distraction
The ongoing electoral turmoil in Cameroon is not an accident. It is the calculated work of a collapsing system — one engineered by France and sustained by Paul Biya’s machinery of deception. At the moment when the Ambazonian struggle was gaining global attention as a legitimate resistance against assimilation, the regime in Yaoundé needed a diversion. What better distraction than an election staged to fail, followed by chaos that blurs the true nature of the conflict?
The script is familiar: inflame the streets, flood the news cycle with images of unrest, and drown the Ambazonian cause beneath headlines about “Cameroon’s political crisis.” It is a masterstroke of manipulation — and many are falling for it.
The Real Agenda
The aim is not to democratize Cameroon. The aim is to divert Ambazonians from the central question: Why must Southern Cameroons be free?
Instead of demanding recognition as a people under occupation, we are being lured into endless debates about who should replace Paul Biya. By the time this storm passes, the social media outrage will have faded, new political alliances will emerge, and the memory of why our struggle began in 2017 will be lost in the noise.
If this narrative wins — if the world once again sees us as mere participants in Cameroon’s internal politics — Ambazonia will not fall by force of arms, but by collective amnesia.
What They Fear Most
France and the Biya regime fear one thing above all: the recognition of the right to full independence for Southern Cameroons. They know that once this question is tabled before the international community, their colonial enterprise collapses. That is why every supposed “dialogue,” “reform,” or “national unity initiative” is carefully crafted to exclude this single, forbidden option.
Their strategy is not to defeat Ambazonia militarily, but to erase its cause diplomatically — to make the world forget that there was never a treaty of union, and that our struggle is a continuation of decolonization, not rebellion.
The Call of Conscience
Fellow Ambazonians, the danger is clear.
Until the option of complete independence is formally recognized as a legitimate path in any negotiation, anything less will be betrayal. To settle for “federalism,” “reform,” or “new leadership in Yaoundé” without securing the right to self-determination is to sell the future of our children — just as our ancestors were deceived into surrendering theirs.
We must not be distracted by the noise of Cameroon’s manufactured crises. Our cause is not about personalities or elections; it is about principle and destiny. Let history not record that we repeated the same mistake twice in one century.
The Task Ahead
Ambazonia’s future depends on clarity of purpose. Every diplomat, activist, soldier, and citizen must speak with one voice: the right to self-determination is non-negotiable. Anything short of that is surrender disguised as progress.
The world may try to move on, but Ambazonians cannot afford to forget. Our fight was never to reform Cameroon — it was to restore Ambazonia.
In unity and resistance,
The Ambazonian patriot
