The Prerequisites of Union: Why You Can’t Build a United Africa on the Ruins of the Southern Cameroons

Pan-Africanism was born as a doctrine of liberation from colonial domination. In 2026, it is being repurposed as a tool of internal annexation. The “unity” promoted by the Biya regime over the former British southern Cameroons—and enabled by the African Union’s silence—is not a union of consent but a union of conquest. By Timothy Enongene

Beyond the Rhetoric: Why Ambazonian Sovereignty Is the True Test of Pan-Africanism

The Ambazonian Blueprint: Why Sovereignty Is the Catalyst for True Unity

The $3 Billion Lie: How Yaoundé Borrows to Breathe and Calls It Development

This is now a pattern, not an event. Borrow, pay arrears, service old debt, fund political machinery, abandon projects, accumulate new arrears, borrow again. This is not governance. It is debt dependence. Not development economics. Not growth policy. Not fiscal planning. It is regime maintenance through credit. By The Independentistnews Editorial desk YAOUNDE January 22,
