Mr. Ngwang Raphael Njeba’s death is a tragedy. So too are the deaths of Senator Kemende Henry, Wardress Florence Ayafor, and Hon. Abe Michael. Exploiting these tragedies to launder state violence and criminalize a people’s resistance compounds the harm. The facts point not to a rogue resistance agenda, but to a failed and brutal state
The political class, sensing the ground give way beneath them, has reached for an old reflex: internal purges instead of structural reform. Blame prosecutors. Blame ministers. Blame immigrants. Blame the opposition. Blame anyone—except the system itself. By Ali Dan Ismael Editor-in-Chief France is discovering—too late—that empires do not collapse with a bang. They rot, then

A country that once dictated constitutions abroad is now begging for emergency laws just to keep spending. Parliament is paralysed. Governments fall one after another. Deficits explode.

Where victims lack a state, a seat, or a powerful voice, France stays silent. By Kemi Ashu The Independentistnews contributor The Old Order Finally Admits Defeat France has finally admitted what
Recycled Power, Permanent War: Yaoundé’s New Cabinet Exposes a State That Cannot Reform
