THE GREAT DISTORTION: How They Tried to Turn a People’s Outcry Into a “War on the Church” — And Why Ambazonians Must Not Fall for the Trap

Let the world be clear: Ambazonians respect Catholicism. Ambazonians respect all Christians. Ambazonians have fought, suffered, died, and prayed alongside Catholics. The problem is not the Church.

Disinformation and the Danger of Misrepresenting the Ambazonian Crisis

WHY THE CHURCH SHOUTS AT AMBAZONIAN DEFENDERS BUT WHISPERS AT A GENOCIDAL REGIME

Clergy do not raise Ambazonian children. Ambazonian parents do. Clergy will not rebuild our villages. Ambazonians will. Clergy will not endure the consequences of this genocide. Ambazonian survivors will. We must therefore stop expecting the Church to speak with a courage it has not shown. We are not asking the Church to fight. We are

Political Epitaph: Joshua Osih’s Fall from Grace in Southern Cameroons

The verdict is now clear: the Southern Cameroons have shut their political door on Joshua Osih. His relevance ended the day he chose ambition over justice and calculation over courage.

In the 1959 general elections, Dr. John Ngu Foncha’s KNDP defeated Dr. Endeley’s KNC. In an extraordinary moment for Africa, the transfer of power was peaceful, democratic, and transparent.
