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.
They must ask the complete question: Who controls SNH, who audits that control, who receives the value, and can the public follow every barrel from the producing field to the public account? Until Cameroon answers these questions with evidence, the country may possess the crude while remaining uncertain about who truly commands its productive source.
Sixty-five days after the president’s departure, the Cameroonian public has still not received a comprehensive and authoritative explanation of his condition, his capacity to continue performing presidential duties or the constitutional arrangements under which executive authority is presently being exercised.

Never build the republic around one man. Never allow foreign partners to value the ruler more than the institutions. Never exchange political dignity for somebody else’s definition of stability. And never permit bananas, oil, minerals, ports, or any other productive asset to become more valuable than the people whose land produced them. By Timothy Enongene,
China will pursue China. America will pursue America. Europe will pursue Europe. No serious Ambazonian should be offended by that. The responsibility of an Ambazonian government would be to pursue Ambazonia. Trade widely. Welcome investment. Purchase useful technology. Build relationships with competing powers.

That is the harder test. And that is why the journey should not end with photographs, church services, official welcomes, and departure ceremonies. Canterbury has walked through the geography.

A republic must know more than what it believes. It must know how it knows. That is the real relevance of Newton to Southern Cameroons. Not the year 2060. Not the apple. Not the prestige of an English genius. The enduring lesson is that knowledge requires a traceable path from claim to evidence, from evidence
