LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Subject: I No Longer Believe in the Struggle
Dear Editor,
I’ve been following your programs on Ambazonia. I’ve listened to the speeches, read the publications, and watched events unfold for years. But if I’m being honest, my answer is simple: No.
No, I don’t think anything will change. No, I don’t believe this independence talk will lead anywhere. We’ve seen too much suffering, too many factions, too much confusion. At this point, what’s left to believe in?
Sincerely,
A Tired Reader in Bafut

A Conversation Worth Having: Your “No” Deserves a Real Answer
Q: Why do so many Ambazonians feel hopeless right now—even those who once supported the struggle?
A: Because hope has been under attack. For decades, the regime in Yaoundé has used something called Communal Liberalism—a policy invented by Paul Biya—to create a fake image of unity while sowing real division. It rewards a few elites with power and titles while the rest of us remain under economic strangulation, military occupation, and political humiliation.
When people like you say “No,” it’s not because you don’t care. It’s because you’ve been deliberately exhausted by a system designed to break your spirit. That’s exactly what Biya’s strategy is meant to do.
Q: What is Communal Liberalism, and how does it affect ordinary Ambazonians?
A: Communal Liberalism is Paul Biya’s official ideology, first declared in the late 1980s. It claims to promote democracy and community development, but in reality, it was crafted to maintain power by dividing people along tribal and regional lines. It keeps Ambazonians dependent on Yaoundé, strips them of local control, and replaces meaningful representation with handpicked figureheads.
Under this system, traditional rulers are converted into political agents. Ministers from Ambazonia serve the regime, not the people. Parliamentarians rarely visit their constituencies. And any real voice for justice—especially Ambazonian voices—is labeled “terrorist” and silenced.
Q: So if the system is rigged, what exactly is the alternative?
A: The alternative is freedom through sovereignty. Dr. Samuel Ikome Sako, President of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia, offers a path built not on tribal loyalty or political bribery—but on justice, law, and unity.
Dr. Sako’s leadership is rooted in:
A constitutional vision based on the sovereignty of the former British Southern Cameroons
Digital governance connecting the diaspora to the homeland
Community defense structures protecting our people from occupation
Diaspora-led economic planning for reconstruction and self-reliance
A diplomatic push for international recognition, grounded in truth—not propaganda
He is one of the few leaders who has consistently refused to compromise with Biya or France, and who has invested in grassroots governance rather than chasing titles in foreign capitals.
Q: But hasn’t the Ambazonian movement also been divided? What about the infighting and chaos?
A: That’s a fair question. Yes, we’ve seen internal division. But most of that division didn’t come from the people—it came from infiltration. Yaoundé’s strategy of control doesn’t stop at propaganda; it funds proxy leaders, creates fake factions, and spreads lies on social media.
The goal is simple: to make you give up. To make you say “No.” To confuse you so much that you forget who the real enemy is. But despite these tactics, millions of Ambazonians continue to stand for freedom, because they understand: the dream didn’t fail—the system is designed to crush it.
Q: So what should someone like me do? I’m tired. I just want peace and stability.
A: Wanting peace is not weakness—it’s wisdom. But let’s be clear: peace without freedom is submission. What the regime in Yaoundé calls “peace” is simply silence after surrender. The kind of peace we want is one where no soldier shoots our children for waving a flag. A peace where our resources benefit our communities, not foreign companies. A peace where our identity is respected, not erased.
That’s what Dr. Sako’s vision offers: not just survival, but dignity. Not just the end of war, but the beginning of self-rule.
Q: Final thoughts for someone who still says “No”?
A: Your “No” is not a betrayal—it’s a cry for truth. And the truth is: we’ve been lied to, tricked, and robbed for decades. But don’t let those lies win.
If you’ve lost faith in the struggle, we invite you to revisit the truth—not the headlines, not the rumors, but the legal, historical, and moral case for Ambazonia. We were a people before reunification, and we will be a people again—free, united, and strong.
So say “No” to false unity. Say “No” to fake peace. Say “No” to the system that broke your hope. But don’t say “No” to yourself. Ambazonia still belongs to you. And we still believe in you
