Paul Biya did not appoint an Attorney General.
He installed a loyal enforcer. Marie-Claire Dieudonnée Nseng-Elang’s elevation is not a victory for women, justice, or reform. It is the tightening of a political chokehold. It is the regime reinforcing the very weapon it has used to intimidate, jail, silence, and destroy its opponents.
This is not progress. It is entrenchment. This is not evolution. It is escalation. Born in the Beti corridor, bred in the machine Nseng-Elang comes straight from the Belt of privilege that feeds the dictatorship: the Centre Region, the Beti axis, the Yaoundé circle of obedience. She is a pure product of the same system that has violated the rights of millions and shredded every pretence of equality in this so-called Republic.
Her appointment signals loyalty, not justice. Submission, not reform. Control, not independence. Gender propaganda does not wash blood away The regime shouts “historic” because she is a woman. But nothing changes. Women have been tortured. Women have been raped. Women have been starved in the forests. Women have watched their children executed. None of those women have ever received justice from Yaoundé. And they never will — because justice here is not a principle, it is a political weapon. Installing a woman at the top of a corrupt judiciary does not change its mission. It only gives the dictatorship a new mask.
Systemic domination confirmed, not questioned
This appointment reinforces five brutal truths: First: the judiciary answers to one man, not to the people.
Second: state power is monopolised by the same ethnic-regional elite. Third: the common law has been murdered and buried. Fourth: military and political crimes will remain untouchable.
Fifth: anglophone blood buys careers in Yaoundé.
This is how unions end
When a regime appoints prosecutors the same way it appoints generals, it is not building a nation — it is protecting an empire. When the courts serve the guns, the state has ceased to be a state. When law exists only to punish dissent and shield impunity, then the oppressed have only two choices left:Obey. Or leave. Ambazonians have chosen the latter. Because unity without justice is slavery. Because peace without equality is deceit. Because coexistence without dignity is death.
This appointment is proof — no Ambazonian owes allegiance to this structure ever again. Exit is not a dream. It is a verdict. And Nseng-Elang’s appointment is the latest line in the judgment: Cameroon cannot be reformed from within. Only independence guarantees survival. Only departure guarantees dignity.
Ambazonia is not breaking away. Ambazonia is escaping. And history will record that when Biya crowned another loyalist to guard his crumbling throne, the people he oppressed finally walked out of the door — not in anger, but in clarity. The Union is dead. Ambazonia is alive.
