The Mbororo are only the latest victims of a system built on division. The regime’s DNA lies in the “counter-subversion” campaigns of the 1950s and 1960s, when Bassa communities were hunted in their forests, and in the 1970s, when the Bamiléké were subjected to scorched-earth warfare. Biya did not invent these methods; he modernized and
The Gidado killings follow the same pattern seen in the February 2020 Ngarbuh massacre. First, the state places a vulnerable minority in the path of violence — using them as informants, buffers, or proxy actors in a counter-insurgency war.

Cameroonian troops, gendarmes, and regime-aligned militias operate there daily. So the first question any honest authority must answer is: Who controlled Gidado on Wednesday morning?

Cameroon’s elites are preparing a soft landing for a hard system. Ambazonia is preparing a hard truth for a soft world. One path leads to recycled domination. The other leads to real freedom. And no amount of emotional choreography can change that. Ali Dan Ismael Editor-in-Chief The Independentistnews just back from vacation. YAOUNDE January 2026
History will not ask whether Africa was protected. It will ask whether Africa was free. Chains that are invisible are still chains, and the first step to breaking them is calling them by name. By M C FOLO The independentistnews contributor Africa is often told it lives in a post-colonial world.But anyone who controls your
Cameroon’s cultural diversity should be a source of strength, creativity, and development. Under Biya, it has been turned into a weapon. And when diversity becomes a weapon, blood inevitably follows.

Why Quebec Still Talks About Independence — And What It Means for Ambazonia
