At the 849th meeting of the Fourth Committee on 25 February 1959, Mr. Ahidjo declared: “We are not annexationists. If our brothers of the British zone wish to unite with independent Cameroun, we are ready to discuss the matter with them, but we will do so on a footing of equality.” By Celeste Maddox Before
De l’enlèvement de Sisiku, à l’effondrement de Chris Anu, à l’isolement de Marianta, à la disparition de Kometa, jusqu’à l’incarcération d’Ayaba — chaque tentative de décapitation a eu une conséquence inattendue. En écartant ceux qui étaient les plus enclins à compromettre, les plus avides d’argent ou les plus facilement dupés, l’ennemi a ironiquement purifié la
Biya’s Communal Liberalism fit perfectly into this framework. It subordinated freedom to unity, branded federalism as tribalism, and exalted the leader as the embodiment of the nation. It was the local expression of a broader authoritarian vision — an Africanised Mein Kampf, combined with de Gaulle’s presidential monarchy. By MC Chryton, The Independentist Political Desk
From Sisiku’s rendition, to Chris Anu’s collapse, to Marianta’s isolation, to Kometa’s disappearance, to Ayaba’s incarceration — every attempted decapitation has had an unintended consequence. By removing those most willing to compromise, most eager for money, or most easily deceived, the enemy has ironically purified the revolution. The Independentist Editorial Desk Destabilisation is not an
The passing of Law No. 24/61 and Ahidjo’s repeated statements leave no doubt: no federation was ever formed between LRC and the British Southern Cameroons. Before 1 October 1961, LRC had already transformed itself into a so-called “federal” state — unilaterally. By Celeste Maddox Even with the illegality of the Foumban meeting, no agreement was
After the plebiscite of February 1961 and the UN vote for Southern Cameroons independence, the United Nations recommended a tripartite conference to determine the terms of association between the British Southern Cameroons and the Republic of Cameroun.

President Paul Biya’s inability to connect with citizens has sparked concerns, even among his own party members, the Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM). Colbert Gwain @The Muteff Factor (formerly The Colbert Factor) In the riveting agrarian community of Muteff in the Fundong Subdivision of the Boyo Division of Cameroon’s North West Region, the peasant women
En 1984, Paul Biya visita Londres et versa un million de livres sterling tiré du trésor camerounais. Beaucoup y virent le prix du silence britannique. Par MC Chryton, AfroLeaks Une trahison inscrite dans l’histoire En 1946, les Nations Unies confièrent à la Grande-Bretagne la mission de préparer le Cameroun méridional — aujourd’hui Ambazonie — à
Pour gratter 4,5 milliards, les dirigeants français veulent supprimer le lundi de Pâques et le jour de la Victoire, contraignant leurs citoyens à travailler davantage. Mais la rue gronde. Les grèves paralysent les trains, les écoles ferment leurs portes, les hôpitaux ploient sous les coupes budgétaires et la colère éclate sur les boulevards. Par la
Le Libéralisme Communautaire et l’Ombre de Mein Kampf
Le Libéralisme Communautaire de Biya s’inscrivait parfaitement dans ce dispositif. Il subordonnait la liberté à l’unité, assimilait le fédéralisme au tribalisme, et sacralisait le chef comme incarnation de l’État.
