We are home to news on Cameroon and the CEMAC region. We are dedicated to honest and reliable reporting. We are the voice of the Cameroonian people and their fight for freedom and democracy at a time when the Yaoundé government is silencing dissent and suppressing democratic voices.
To be fair, Foncha might have acted out of ignorance, believing in the honesty and goodwill of French-backed statesmen who promised partnership and mutual progress. But history later proved that promise hollow. What began as faith in cooperation became submission through deceit. The result was tragic: Southern Cameroons lost its sovereignty not by defeat in
History will not remember their hashtags — it will remember their hesitation. From pro-independence to pro-Biya to pro-Chiroma, and now to pro-Mike Fusi Zoom politics, the circle of betrayal is complete. By The Independentist Investigative Desk From Pro-Independence to Pro-Biya to Pro-Chiroma — and Now the Mike Fusi “Strategy” Circus. Every revolution produces two kinds
The cover of a legitimate government is what shields freedom defenders from being branded as terrorists.

It’s a reminder that identity and struggle are not enemies. You can be proudly African and still serve your American city. You can be from Ambazonia and still make your host country better. In fact, the more you serve where you are, the stronger your voice becomes for where you come from. By The Independentist
When Britain and France violated that covenant, they did not “reunite” two peoples; they recolonized one through deceit. Southern Cameroons and La République du Cameroun were born of two different empires, under two distinct trusteeships, with two separate legal and constitutional destinies. We did not share a cradle; we were forced into the same coffin.
I was among the fewer than 500 Cameroonian students who publicly supported the creation of the SDF on March 26, 1990 — two months before its official launch — and I sang (for only the third time in my life) our national anthem in English, which I had learned in primary school back in the

The ceremony in Buea was attended by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, who praised both men for setting an example that many newly independent African nations would later
