Chris Anu and the Anti-Revolutionaries — The Rubber-Neck Leaders and their search for relevance

History will not remember their hashtags — it will remember their hesitation. From pro-independence to pro-Biya to pro-Chiroma, and now to pro-Mike Fusi Zoom politics, the circle of betrayal is complete.

From Pro-Independence to Pro-Biya to Pro-Chiroma — and Now the Mike Fusi “Strategy” Circus. Every revolution produces two kinds of actors: the builders of hope and the brokers of noise. In the Ambazonian struggle, the noisemakers now occupy center stage — led by Chris Anu and his self-styled “communication guru,” Mike Fusi, who have turned a people’s revolution into a livestream of vanity.

Their latest spectacle — a “Zoom strategy meeting” to “reorganize the communication front” — is not a plan for liberation but a cry for relevance. It is the sound of men trying to rehearse leadership after history has already moved on.

The Collapse of Conviction

Chris Anu’s voice, once a symbol of defiance, has become a microphone for confusion. He is loud when condemning the Government of Ambazonia but silent when the colonial army burns villages. The man who once claimed to speak for the oppressed now echoes the language of their oppressors.

Beside him stands Mike Fusi, the self-anointed strategist of spin — hosting Zoom calls like crusades, where the gospel is gossip and the offering is attention. Together, they have mistaken performance for patriotism and audience size for authority.

A Note of Fairness

It must be said — many of these men once stood on the right side of history. They spoke truth to power when it was dangerous to do so, and their early courage inspired thousands. But history’s test is not how one begins a struggle; it is how one stands when the struggle begins to test back. Courage that collapses into comfort is no longer conviction — it is compromise.

The Mike Fusi Gambit — A Strategy for Confusion

Insiders describe the coming “strategy meeting” as an effort to rebrand failure. The script is predictable: Blame the legitimate government for their personal irrelevance. Undermine President Dr. Samuel Ikome Sako’s steady diplomacy. Package personal ambition as “reform.” It is a replay of the same failed performance — the art of pretending to lead by talking louder than those who act.

The Company of the Fallen

The circle of collapse is wide. Chris Anu, once a loud revolutionary preacher, was elated when Issa Chiroma Bakary publicly mentioned his name — convinced he was being groomed for a post in Yaoundé’s next chapter. That single moment revealed a craving for recognition stronger than the call for resistance.

John Mbah Akuro, once a cautious observer, now hovers in the same orbit of confusion — too proud to return to principle, too timid to confront betrayal. Agbor Balla, Emmanuel Tita, and Kizito Elad — men once admired for their intellect and early advocacy — quietly drifted away, persuaded that the revolutionary ship was sinking. In truth, it was not sinking; it was shedding those who had stopped rowing. Now they stand shoulder to shoulder with Anu and Fusi — organizing Zoom conferences as if the liberation of a nation could be planned like a podcast schedule.

The Sisiku Shift — From Hero to Hostage of Ambition

Even Sisiku Ayuk Tabe, once the face of revolutionary defiance and pro-independence hope, now drifts in that same tide of political confusion. From the moment he entertained talk of union with Maurice Kamto, and now echoes Issa Chiroma’s colonial narratives, many within the movement felt betrayed. Leadership is not about negotiating one’s release at the cost of a people’s freedom.

Imagine if Nelson Mandela had compromised with the apartheid regime simply to leave prison. That is not leadership — it is surrender disguised as wisdom. At best, such leaders resemble Chief Mangosuthu Buthelezi, who cooperated with apartheid for crumbs of power, or Joshua Nkomo in Zimbabwe, who exchanged revolution for ceremony. History teaches that freedom cannot be won by those who fear their captors more than they love their cause.

Eric Chinje — From Poster Boy to Propaganda Pawn

The pattern continues with Eric Chinje — once the polished poster boy of Paul Biya’s regime, now suddenly a mouthpiece for Issa Chiroma. From the halls of Etoudi’s press rooms to the echo chambers of Yaoundé’s propaganda mills, Chinje’s trajectory mirrors the same disease of opportunism. He has moved from justifying tyranny to rebranding it — from media professionalism to political servitude. It is the tragedy of brilliant men who traded principle for proximity.

From Pro-Independence to Pro-Biya to Pro-Chiroma

Chris Anu’s political compass spins without direction. Yesterday, he shouted “Freedom or death!” Today, he preaches “Dialogue and realism.”
Tomorrow, he bends before Chiroma. The same man who once accused Yaoundé of genocide now repeats its talking points. And Mike Fusi, his echo chamber, amplifies the confusion — a choir without a cause. Their new faith is not independence — it is survival dressed as strategy.

The Home Front Speaks

Let Chris Anu and his band of rubber-neck leaders know that the Home Front is wide awake — mightily contributing to this revolution in silence, sacrifice, and resilience. The people inside Ambazonia are not fooled by social-media sermons; they are educated, observant, and discerning enough to know who is defending the motherland and who is performing for the camera. Those sitting in comfort abroad, mocking the institutions of the revolution while others die for it, live in a bubble of self-deception. The home front sees through them — and history will, too.

The Cost to the Revolution

Every false meeting drains time, unity, and credibility. While Ambazonia’s diplomats open new doors abroad and the Ambazonia State Self-Defense fights on the ground, these rubber-neck leaders stage digital dramas that serve only the colonizer’s narrative. They trade courage for cameras, integrity for invitations, and principle for publicity.

History Will Record

History will not remember their hashtags — it will remember their hesitation. From pro-independence to pro-Biya to pro-Chiroma, and now to pro-Mike Fusi Zoom politics, the circle of betrayal is complete.

When the chronicles of this struggle are written, Chris Anu, Mike Fusi, Sisiku Ayuk Tabe, John Mbah Akuro, Agbor Balla, Emmanuel Tita, Kizito Elad, and Eric Chinje will be remembered not for how loudly they spoke, but for how quickly they turned.

The people have seen through the act.
The revolution stands taller than their shadows.
And no Zoom strategy, no rubber-neck maneuver, will ever bend the neck of freedom.
