If representation can be effectively removed from the management of national resources—such as electricity—then the argument that the Anglophone crisis is administrative rather than structural becomes increasingly difficult to sustain. By Timothy EnongeneGuest Editor-in-Chief, The Independentist News Editor’s Note: Timothy Enongene serves as Guest Editor-in-Chief for this special analysis series, bringing independent, policy-focused perspective to
The international community must resist the temptation to interpret this moment as a natural political evolution. It is not.

Beyond the Façade: Orchestrated Violence and the Systematic Erasure of Truth in Bui County
What appears as disorder can function as cover. What appears as confusion can serve as protection. The challenge for the international community is not simply to observe events—but to recognize the structure within them. Because in Bui County, the fog is not just surrounding the conflict. It may very well be the method by which
