Ubuntu, Connecting with God, and the Crisis of Modern Civilization

Genuine fulfillment emerges through meaningful relationships, service to others, and a sense of belonging to something greater than oneself. A society that loses sight of these truths may continue to accumulate wealth and technological sophistication, yet still experience growing loneliness, anxiety, alienation, and moral uncertainty.

THE NEW-OLD TRAP: DAVID MAKONGO AND THE POLITICS OF “NORTH WEST–SOUTH WEST”

The central question cannot permanently be: How do we reconcile North West and South West? A more fundamental democratic question is: What political future do the people of the Former British Southern Cameroons choose for themselves? Different people may answer differently. That is precisely why a democratic and Internationally credible political process matters. The restoration

ANGLOPHONE UNITY IS NOT THE QUESTION: THE QUESTION IS AMBAZONIAN SOVEREIGNTY

Ambazonia is the project. Freedom is the objective. Responsible sovereignty is the destination. And if the day comes for genuine third-party-mediated negotiations, those entering the room should understand what is being contested and what must be resolved.

THE CARETAKER PRESIDENCY: PAUL BIYA, FRANCE, AND CAMEROON’S UNFINISHED INDEPENDENCE

THE ADF–ATANGA NJI FILES: WHAT THE WITNESSES SAY AND THE QUESTIONS AMBAZONIANS MUST ANSWER

The alleged ADF–Atanga Nji relationship is therefore not something that should be decided through social-media warfare. It is an allegation that can potentially be tested through witnesses, communications, financial records, authenticated documents and a carefully reconstructed chronology. If the witnesses are prepared to speak, let their statements be taken properly. If documents exist, let qualified

OCTOBER 1 IS COMING: PREPARE FOR THE ANNIVERSARY, NOT FOR RUMOURS

Ambazonians should prepare intelligently. Verify every announcement. Distinguish an official directive from a social-media rumour. Protect vulnerable people. Reject unnecessary intimidation and violence. And remember that political discipline is itself part of nation-building. The anniversary is bigger than any poster, personality or faction. October 1 belongs to the people. Let it be approached with memory,

CRTV MUST EXPLAIN ITSELF: WHEN A STATE CONTROLS THE CAMERA, IT CONTROLS THE NARRATIVE, A Nation Cannot Be Governed Through Edited Fragments

CRTV must explain itself—not because every restriction proves wrongdoing, but because public trust requires answers when enormous resources are deployed to document an event and the public is nevertheless shown so little. The camera may be operated by the broadcaster. But the broadcaster is funded in the name of the public. The story belongs to

A chat with Adelle Nazarian of The Western Journal: Ambazonia 2050 & Beyond, America, Diplomacy, and the Future of Southern Cameroons

We are not asking America simply to choose our side. We are asking America to examine whether our future interests can meet. That is ultimately what I mean by the movement from survival to significance: Moving from asking who will save us to asking what we are prepared to build. By Martin S. Mungwa, PhD,

THE LESSON OF HAITI: WHEN A NEIGHBOUR HELPED A PEOPLE RESTORE ITS SOVEREIGNTY What the Dominican Restoration Teaches Ambazonians About Perseverance, Solidarity, Diplomacy, and the Long Road to Sovereignty

A journalist may bring attention. A diaspora may provide resources. But ultimately, the people seeking sovereignty must construct the political, economic, institutional, and civic capacity capable of sustaining it. A declaration begins a national project. Perseverance sustains it. Solidarity strengthens it. Diplomacy opens space for it. Institutions give it substance. And a prepared people gives
