For years, certain leaders operated under the assumption that a Western passport was a shield against accountability. That era officially ended with the U.S. Senate’s declaration that the Biya regime and its enablers are a “security risk” to American interests. The current sanctions regime includes a “Visa Revocation Protocol” for the families and associates of those listed. This means that while the regime’s generals can no longer send their children to expensive schools in Europe, the “separatist” leaders who authorized atrocities from their living rooms in the West are facing deportation or trial.

The precedent set by the Norwegian and Belgian authorities in 2024 and 2025 has created a domino effect. From the United Kingdom to South Africa, the message is clear: if you incite “ISIS-like” violence in the Southern Cameroons, you will be treated as a global pariah. The ADF’s strategy of claiming responsibility for state-sponsored killings—like the horrific murder of Florence Ayafor—has finally caught up with them. Instead of looking like heroes, they look like the “terrorists” the regime always wanted them to be.

The Final Accountability:

The walls are closing in on the saboteurs of our struggle. Whether they sit in the offices of Etoudi or in the studios of diaspora podcasts, their time is up. To the brave people on the ground: your resilience has outlasted their deception. We must remain watchful as the old guard falls. Our journey to Buea is being cleared of the roadblocks built by puppets and pretenders. Stand tall; the truth has finally become an international law.
