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.
The final whistle will end the match. It will not end the historical questions awakened by it. In 1982, Britain showed that no territory is too small when national interest makes it important. In 2026, the uncertainty surrounding NATO and American support shows that no alliance is permanent when interests change. Argentina shows that a
If we understand the playbook, we can defeat it. If we refuse manufactured rivalries, we can build trust. If we discipline our ambitions, we can build institutions. If we place the future above personal position, we can transform liberation energy into national power. Yaoundé survives by division. Ambazonia must rise through unity, maturity, and strategic
Ambazonia is aspirational — a name that points to what some of us hope to build. Anglophone is fictional — a name that describes no country, no territory, no people, only a colonial school report. The Southern Cameroons is real. It has a map. It has a history. It has a capital, a coastline, a
The old British Empire believed ships, trade, finance, colonies, ceremony, language, and monarchy could sustain greatness forever. But when the colonies left and the imperial map disappeared, Britain was forced to live on memory. America built power into a continent. China and Russia continue to display scale as strength.

The new empire issues visas. The old empire built plantations. The new empire builds professional pathways. The old empire took raw materials. The new empire takes trained minds.

It wants historical prestige without historical responsibility. It wants the smile without surrendering the weapon. By Ali Dan Ismael Editor-in-chief The Independentist News Britain’s crisis of identity is not only diplomatic. It is also racial,
Britain’s myth of command has outlived Britain’s command. Ambazonia must therefore stop waiting for British diplomacy to rediscover a courage it no longer possesses. The old British myth is dying. Ambazonia must not die with it. By Ali Dan Ismael. Editor-in-chief The Independentist News James Bond is not merely a film character. He is Britain’s
The smile is not policy. The handshake is not justice. Peace without justice is not peace. And if Ambazonia does not define its own mission, someone else will use Ambazonia to complete theirs. That is what Ambazonia must learn about statecraft. By an Ambazonian Patriot Nations do not survive by sentiment. They survive by understanding
What Ambazonia Can Learn From Transactional Partnership, Resource Nationalism and Resistance to Foreign Control
Saudi Arabia learned that Western engagement could be negotiated and gradually transformed. Iran learned that foreign economic control could become political domination.
