We are home to news on Cameroon and the CEMAC region. We are dedicated to honest and reliable reporting. We are the voice of the Cameroonian people and their fight for freedom and democracy at a time when the Yaoundé government is silencing dissent and suppressing democratic voices.
Who accepted the completed system? Who benefits when it succeeds? Who pays when it fails? Until those questions are answered publicly, the €274 million obligation should be understood not merely as money owed to foreign companies but as a warning that Cameroon’s infrastructure, diplomacy, and postcolonial economic arrangements have converged into a national debt chokepoint.
That is the deeper meaning of the polycentric republic. It is not simply a country financed from many places. It is a country strong enough to choose among them. It is a country in which outside capital competes for access to productive opportunity instead of government begging for access to capital. It is a country
Our future should not depend on who rules the world. It should depend on whether we can build a Republic capable of working confidently with the United States and other partners while remaining master of its own productive sources, institutions and national destiny.

The Africa we should build is therefore not an Africa without nations. It is an Africa in which nations are secure enough to cooperate, sovereign enough to negotiate, democratic enough to respect their citizens, economically capable enough to retain more of the value they create, and wise enough to understand that presidents, parties, armies, colonial
History is no longer asking where we went to school.

The public is entitled to answers where legitimate public interests are involved. And the future Ambazonian state is entitled to something even more important: a political culture in which evidence outranks faction and institutions outrank personalities. Those who demand answers must answer. Those who investigate must be willing to be investigated. Those who seek to
The potato test is therefore brutally simple: grow it, store it, process it, move it, finance it, sell it, and keep more of the value circulating within the productive economy. Then invite the world to the table. By Ali Dan Ismael, Editor-in-chief The Independentist News McDonald’s is not important to Ambazonia because Ambazonians urgently need
Maya Angelou taught the world why the caged bird sings. The responsibility of the next generation is more demanding. We must ask why the cage was permitted to exist at all—and ensure that freedom for southern Cameroons (Ambazonia), whatever constitutional form it ultimately takes, does not simply create a new cage for its women.

A republic must know more than what it believes. It must know how it knows. That is the real relevance of Newton to Southern Cameroons. Not the year 2060. Not the apple. Not the prestige of an English genius. The enduring lesson is that knowledge requires a traceable path from claim to evidence, from evidence
Britain—Always Late and Inconsequential in Southern Cameroons: From Commonwealth Admission to Pidgin-English Diplomacy, the Jet Lag of Empire Continues to Impair British Judgment
Britain was late in securing durable safeguards around the 1961 transition. It was late in responding to the consequences of centralization. It was late to the humanitarian catastrophe.
