Ambazonian laws, companies, and resources were hijacked by La République du Cameroun (LRC).
By The Independentist Political Desk
For more than 60 years, the people of Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia) have lived under a system that does not belong to them. Our laws, our companies, and our resources were hijacked by La République du Cameroun (LRC). Today, the truth is clear: Ambazonia and Cameroun are two different nations, built on two different systems. We cannot survive under theirs.
- Our Laws Were Never Theirs
When companies like Cameroon Bank, CDC, Powercam, the National Lottery, and PMO were created, they were incorporated under the West Cameroon Companies Ordinance of our own Parliament in Buea.
Those laws have never been changed.
The Parliament in Yaoundé never had the power to change them.
When LRC took control of these companies, it was outright theft.
Our legal foundation is rooted in the common law system and parliamentary democracy. Cameroun runs on the French civil law system, where the president’s word overrides everything. These two systems cannot co-exist.
- Our Resources Belong to Us
Under UN Resolution 1608 (1961) and the plebiscite terms, Ambazonian resources belong to the people of Southern Cameroons.
But for decades, LRC has looted our oil, timber, cocoa, and CDC plantations, leaving our towns poor and militarised. This is not partnership. It is exploitation.
- Our Institutions Were Destroyed
Ambazonia built its own strong institutions after independence. But one after another, they were deliberately targeted and dismantled.
Nangah Company was not destroyed by chance or mismanagement. It was a deliberate plan to erase Ambazonian business power.
Even the Supreme Court of LRC washed its hands, refusing to defend justice when our companies were looted.
This was economic warfare — not development.
- Two Opposite Political Cultures
Ambazonia was parliamentary and democratic, where laws were debated openly and multiparty politics was alive.
Cameroun has been a dictatorship for over 40 years under Paul Biya, where elections are theatre and opposition is silenced.
Here lies the danger: Cameroun’s guiding political philosophy, “Communal Liberalism”, is not liberal at all. It is designed to fuse citizens into one body controlled by the state. Individual freedoms are dissolved into loyalty to the regime.
Elections are tightly controlled, with outcomes decided long before ballots are cast.
Political parties exist but are powerless against the ruling CPDM machine.
Constitutional courts are no longer neutral — they serve only to legalise rigged outcomes.
This is not democracy. It is enslavement under the mask of elections.
- Why We Must Leave
Remaining in union with LRC means:
Accepting that our resources will continue to be stolen.
Accepting that our companies and institutions will continue to be destroyed.
Accepting dictatorship as our way of life.
Accepting an election system where votes do not count and the courts are controlled.
Leaving means:
Restoring justice.
Rebuilding our own institutions.
Governing ourselves by our own laws and values.
Protecting true democracy where courts defend the people, not the regime.
Dr. Sako Speaks
As President Dr. Samuel Ikome Sako has said:
“Ambazonia is not fighting to be free from nothing. We were free before, and our institutions were sovereign. What Cameroun did was theft — theft of our companies, theft of our resources, and theft of our future. Our mission is to take back what was stolen, restore what was destroyed, and build a nation where justice, democracy, and prosperity belong to our people.”
Final Word
Ambazonia is not Cameroun. We never were. We are a people with our own laws, our own resources, and our own vision.
The past 60 years have proven only one thing: if we stay in Cameroun, we accept chains as our inheritance.
Now the choice stands before us — freedom or slavery, Ambazonia or destruction.
We must choose freedom. We must choose Ambazonia.
