Southern Cameroons — known to the world as Ambazonia — regained its sovereignty on October 1st 1961, only to be illegally annexed by French Cameroon. We are simply restoring what was stolen — through law, diplomacy, and disciplined self-defense. By The Independentist — Editorial Investigation Unit It is one of history’s great reversals that those
The Fifth Republic, built by Charles de Gaulle as a presidential monarchy, once projected stability and grandeur. Today, it stands hollowed out — a Republic in name, but a corporate protectorate of billionaires, security elites, and aging political dynasties.

For Tchiroma, survival was never luck; it was calculation. His years behind bars taught him two enduring truths about the Biya system: open opposition invited annihilation, and proximity to power offered both protection and opportunity.So he chose patience over exile, proximity over protest.
