The Comoros: An archipelago in chains.
By Julien Poccachard | Special Correspondence in the Comoros
THE COMORIAN STORY.
The Comoros, a group of volcanic islands nestled between Madagascar and Mozambique, is often referred to as “the perfume islands” for its export of ylang-ylang and spices. But its real fragrance, post-independence, has been the unmistakable stench of French neocolonialism—a model so ruthless it has reduced independence to a façade.
Gaining nominal independence in 1975, three of the four main islands—Grande Comore, Anjouan, and Mohéli—seceded from France. But Mayotte, the fourth, was retained by France through a rigged referendum, in violation of international law and the OAU Charter, making the Comoros the only African state to be partitioned by a former colonial power.
And it didn’t stop there. Paris never left. French mercenaries, most notoriously Bob Denard, repeatedly overthrew Comorian leaders at France’s bidding. French currency, French troops, and French decision-making continued to dominate—leaving Comoros “independent” in theory but a neo-feudal dependency in practice.
Today, Comoros is once again embroiled in a sovereignty crisis, with growing protests against France’s control of Mayotte and accusations that Paris is manipulating internal politics to prevent a truly sovereign Comorian state.
THE FRENCH CURSE: A WARNING TO AMBAZONIA
To Ambazonians, the message is clear: Anything touched by France is programmed for servitude.
The Anglo-Saxon system of governance—rooted in rule of law, democratic institutions, and civil liberties—is incompatible with the French model of centralized power, corruption-as-governance, and secret-society politics. This is not just ideology—it is history. And no one should be more aware of this than Ambazonians, whose union with La République du Cameroun (LRC) has turned into a bloody annexation, echoing the fate of Comoros.
MYTH OF FRENCH MILITARY PROWESS—A RECORD OF RESCUES AND ROUTS
The world has already come to France’s rescue twice—in the First and Second World Wars—when French armies, reduced to little more than reconnaissance scouts, had to be saved by British, American, and Commonwealth forces. The scars of Verdun still whisper that humiliation to any visitor who cares to listen.
French defeats litter history like discarded bayonets: the doomed expedition to Egypt, the disastrous march on Moscow, the slave-shattering uprising in Haiti, and the shattering of Napoleonic arrogance at Waterloo, which ended with Napoleon exiled to a tiny rock off the British Isles.
And let us not forget South America, where a French colonial team attempted an expedition only to find the kepis of their advance troops scattered in the jungle—killed by locals. Upon this sight, the French backup force—overcome by panic—jumped into the ocean and drowned en masse. That, ladies and gentlemen, is the legacy of the French amphibious squad.
Yet Paris persists in the illusion that the world admires its “prowess.”
When, one must ask, will French leaders yank their smelly heads from their own shit-stained backsides and smell the rancid truth? Until they do, every smaller nation caught in their orbit—Comoros yesterday, Ambazonia today—will continue to pay the price.
THE AFRICAN AWAKENING: PATRIOTISM AS ANTIDOTE
Most recently, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger collectively gave France the middle finger and ordered it to leave their soil—militarily and politically. France, in its usual delusion, attempted a comeback—only for their spies and saboteurs to be caught like rats and paraded publicly.
Now, licking their salty wounds, French operatives have returned to their oldest tactic: bribery, their preferred currency of negotiation. But they forget—this is a new Africa. An Africa where leaders like Dr. Samuel Sako have found the antidote: patriotism.
The days of France being seen as a Grande Nation are over. In truth, “La Grande France” now ends at Poitiers, the only battlefield they ever won—where Arab forces were halted in 732. Everything beyond that is a mosaic of military defeat, failed ambition, and neocolonial shame.
Even Brexit, the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union, was a resounding rejection of Continental tyranny, bureaucracy, and elite control. The British people—descendants of Magna Carta and common law—could no longer tolerate being ruled from Brussels, just as Ambazonians can no longer tolerate being dictated to from Yaoundé.
And yet, when Ambazonia cried out for support, Britain refused to listen. Why? Because France’s invisible veto looms over everything—NATO, the Commonwealth, the EU, the UN. To acknowledge Ambazonia’s plight would mean exposing France’s crimes, so the West turns a blind eye, pretending that Ambazonians are Hunas, lesser humans, undeserving of the rights white nations guard with blood and constitutions.
DR SAKO’S MESSAGE: LIBERATION NOW, POLITICS LATER
Dr Samuel Ikome Sako, the legitimate President of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia, has been emphatic: “Liberation now, politics later.” The situation is too dire, the threat too existential, to waste time on petty rivalries or fantasy elections. Ambazonia is bleeding—what it needs is a lifeline, not a ballot box.
Meanwhile northerners like Bouba Bello Maigari, Issa Tchiroma, and others have jumped ship, sensing the Biya regime is sinking under the weight of communal liberalism, fake-debt diplomacy, and foreign manipulation. Yet “Anglofools” like Dion Ngute still imagine they are next in line for power. They are not. If they ever reach the shore, it will be the seabed of history, not a throne.
FINAL CONCLUSION:
THE COMOROS IS A MIRROR — AMBAZONIA, LOOK CLOSELY
Comoros is not just an island tragedy. It is a mirror into the soul of French colonialism and a crystal-clear preview of what awaits Ambazonia should it ever contemplate federation, union, or compromise with a Francophone tyranny.
Let the world hear this now: There is no coexistence between liberty and French neocolonialism. There is only conquest and ruin.
And so the ambazonian leadership repeats: “LIBERATION NOW. POLITICS LATER.”
The French stench is death to any free people. Ambazonia must be clean, whole, and free.
