Ambazonia is not a concept waiting to be approved. It is a political reality already lived. The question is no longer whether the world will recognise it—the question is how long the world will continue to pretend otherwise. By Timothy Enongene Guest Editor-in-Chief The IndependentistnewsMarch 30, 2026 As the eyes of the world turn toward
The danger is that this vote becomes a moral monument with no legal movement. But the opportunity is equally real. The world has now named the crime. The question is no longer whether it was wrong. The question is what must now be undone. By Ali Dan Ismael, Editor-in-Chief The Independentistnews On March 25, 2026,
Roads can connect towns. They can facilitate trade. They can improve daily life. But they cannot erase memories of abandonment. They cannot restore confidence in institutions that appear to correct errors without restoring freedom. They cannot substitute for political solutions to political crises By Ali Dan Ismael, Editor-in-Chief, The Independentistnews When Cameras Come, Development Suddenly
The Vice-President proposal is not a reform plan. It is a signal.
