The true question is not which empire governed more wisely, but how deeply colonial power reshaped African political life, and how fiercely Africans continue to resist, renegotiate, and redefine those imposed systems. By M C Folo The Independentistnews contributor The proposition that British colonial policy better prepared African territories for post-colonial governance than French colonial
Today, from Senegal to Cameroon, nearly two hundred million Africans still use a currency designed in France, guaranteed by France, and historically supervised with French approval. This is not independence. It is rebranded domination. By Kemi Ashu, Mankah Rosa Parks, and Kfusalu Bochong Africa’s present condition did not begin with poor leadership or bad policy.

It was a French post-war construction, headquartered in Yaoundé, administered through French military logic, and governed by officers shaped by wartime humiliation.

Mr. Ngwang Raphael Njeba’s death is a tragedy. So too are the deaths of Senator Kemende Henry, Wardress Florence Ayafor, and Hon. Abe Michael. Exploiting these tragedies to launder state violence and criminalize a people’s resistance compounds the harm. The facts point not to a rogue resistance agenda, but to a failed and brutal state
For Ambazonians, this is not about Cameroon’s embarrassment. It is about proof. Proof that the problem is not rebellion, but governance failure. Proof that internal reform is illusory. Proof that the internationalisation of the Ambazonian question is justified. And proof that a different political future is not only desirable—but necessary.
