Par Joseph FritzMcBobe, Bureau de Bokwango Dans le monde de la satire, peu de livres sont aussi mordants — et étrangement précis — que The I Hate the French Official Handbook. Bien que d’humour britannique, ses chapitres ressemblent à un manuel codé pour comprendre le Cameroun post-colonial, où l’hypocrisie française, la diplomatie théâtrale et l’orgueil

Perfume, Puppets, and Paper Presidents: The French Satire That Exposes Cameroon’s Tragedy

By Joseph FritzMcBobe, Bokwango Bureau. In the world of satire, few books are as cutting—yet uncannily accurate—as The I Hate the French Official Handbook.

THE INDEPENDENTIST NEWS| EDITORIAL Character, Not Credentials, Will Free Ambazonia

By Ali Dan Ismael, Editor‑in‑Chief When the annals of Southern Cameroons are finally penned, it will not be the Oxford diplomas or Fellows with badges that endure—it will be the courage of conscience.

Britain’s Broken Ties and America’s Quiet Footsteps in Ambazonia

Once the beacon of British values in West Africa, Ambazonia now stands as a testament to abandonment.
