You can hide behind usernames. You can hide behind staged photos. You can hide behind temporary power. But the archives of your own posts will one day expose you. Every denial. Every mockery. Every attempt to rewrite a crime. Every ministerial biography posted as distraction. It will all stand as evidence. Ambazonia will remember.

Every war has two battlefields. One sees bullets and burnt villages. The other sees screens and keyboards. While Ambazonian communities mourn burned homes and dead children, another battle rages on the internet. It is a quiet war, waged with posts and comments designed to bleach blood into “security operations” and erase suffering from public memory. This is the propaganda food chain that protects a corrupt regime.
The Architects of the Lie: Etoudi’s Ministers
Rene Emmanuel Sadi, Minister of Communication.
Whenever the regime is accused of atrocities, he appears to deny, distract, or blame the victims. Atanga Nji Paul, Minister of Territorial Administration. He combines force on the ground with disinformation online, branding every civilian killed as “terrorist.” Issa Tchiroma Bakary, former Government Spokesman. His years of public denial shaped the culture of falsehood that still dominates Yaoundé’s narrative. They build the lies. Others spread them.
The Messengers Who Amplify the Falsehoods
State-aligned TV, radio, and newspapers serve as loudspeakers for those official denials. When a massacre occurs, the first reaction is silence or spin. Victims become invisible. Soldiers become decorators of peace. From Etoudi’s scriptwriters, the same storylines are recycled repeatedly: There are no massacres. There are no ghost towns. Everyone suffering is just a criminal or a terror supporter. When these talking points start to crack, the regime activates its next layer of information warfare.
The Digital Cockroach Brigade: Persona Accounts and Facebook War Rooms
This is where the dirtiest work happens. Anonymous accounts pretending to be experts. Fake profiles calling themselves patriots. Pages created overnight to whitewash the crimes of the state. One loud example is the social-media persona known as Vivian Lemfon. She calls herself a military strategist. But there is no verified identity, no documented experience, and no credential for the title she claims. Yet almost every day she posts and celebrates military brutality as victory. Her feed goes further. It actively polishes Biya’s cabinet. She publishes glowing biographies that read like the CVs of regime loyalists such as Felix Mbayu, Paul Tasong Njukang, Elung Paul Che and Judith Yah Sunday, packaging them as saviors while ignoring the humanitarian disaster their policies enable.
At the same time, Ambazonia’s self-defense forces are described with only one label: terrorists. The founding vision of Ambazonia, defended by figures like Fon Gorji Dinka, is mocked and erased. What looks like random opinion is actually a coordinated effort to sanitize the regime and demonize its victims.
The Hidden Objective: Break Ambazonia, Force Surrender
The goal is simple. Weaken the Government of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia. Destroy its credibility. Crush the will of the people to resist. And when Ambazonia is exhausted, French Cameroon hopes to drag its representatives into negotiations where all the terms come from Yaoundé. This strategy is not new. It is the same deception used during the Foumban Accord. The same trap. The same poison. Do not be deceived again. This is a direct warning to French Cameroon’s online soldiers. You are part of a psychological war to erase a people’s identity. And when that kind of deception becomes part of a conflict, international law begins to take interest.
The Turncoats: When Digital Mercenaries Flip
Some of these influencers have already panicked. One prominent propagandist, Erick Ntang, reversed course after learning that his public content had been included in a submission to international legal bodies investigating atrocities. He erased past posts. He tried to delete his own record. But memory does not vanish. Screenshots exist. Archives exist. Digital evidence does not die because an account panics. Those who cheer oppression cannot simply declare themselves innocent when the tide changes.
The Real Impact: Lives Destroyed, Memories Erased A child is killed by gunfire during a raid. A family disappears in the night. A village is set on fire. Witnesses describe the horror. Then these accounts post claims that nothing happened. Survivors are called liars. The blame is shifted onto the very communities under attack. Ministerial CVs are shared while villages bury their dead. Truth dies a second death. Not from bullets. But from erasure.
A Final Message to the Propaganda Network
You can hide behind usernames. You can hide behind staged photos. You can hide behind temporary power. But the archives of your own posts will one day expose you. Every denial. Every mockery. Every attempt to rewrite a crime. Every ministerial biography posted as distraction. It will all stand as evidence. Ambazonia will remember. The truth will outlive your lies. Truth is a weapon. We are fully loaded.
