Ambazonia does not reject unity. It rejects false unity. It rejects unity without justice, unity without consent, unity enforced by guns. True unity is chosen, not imposed. It is built on equality, not domination. The blade falls here as Yaoundé’s strategy depends on one lie: that repetition can replace legitimacy. It cannot.

Unity in Yaoundé is not reconciliation
In Yaoundé, unity is not a bridge. It is a weapon. It is not offered as a shared future, but imposed as a tool of control over Ambazonia. Every time the word unity is spoken, it is followed by soldiers, decrees, and silence. This is not national cohesion. It is enforced submission dressed up as virtue.
Control wrapped in fine language
The regime has perfected a simple trick. It takes the language of democracy, decentralization, and liberalism, empties it of meaning, and uses it to justify domination. What they call unity is centralization. What they call peace is occupation. What they call dialogue is obedience.
Communal liberalism as political hallucination
The So-called communal liberalism is not an ideology. It is a hallucination carefully crafted to confuse the public. You cannot decentralize power while centralizing money. You cannot preach liberty while governing by force. You cannot promise inclusion while denying a people their right to exist as a people. This doctrine survives only on repetition, not reality.
Manufactured confusion as strategy
When slogans failed, Yaoundé turned to manipulation. Groups branded as “Unity Warriors,” quietly sponsored and encouraged from Unity Palace, were introduced to blur lines, fracture resistance, and confuse liberation forces. Their role was not to free Ambazonia, but to dilute the struggle, redirect anger, and create noise where clarity was dangerous.
The backfire
The strategy failed. Instead of confusing the people, it exposed the playbook. Ambazonians recognized the pattern: divide, label, infiltrate, and control. The more these manufactured groups spoke of unity, the clearer it became that unity was being used as cover for domination. What was meant to weaken the liberation struggle only sharpened it. No one is fooled anymore. The illusion is wearing thin. People see that every reform leaves Yaoundé stronger and Ambazonia weaker. Every promise of inclusion ends in tighter control. Every call for unity demands surrender, never consent. The mask has slipped, and the script is exposed.
Why this playbook is failing
The world has moved on from political theatre. Legitimacy now matters more than slogans. Consent matters more than coercion. Systems built on deception eventually collapse under their own weight. What Yaoundé presents as unity is increasingly recognized as occupation by another name.
The Ambazonian clarity
Ambazonia does not reject unity. It rejects false unity. It rejects unity without justice, unity without consent, unity enforced by guns. True unity is chosen, not imposed. It is built on equality, not domination. The blade falls here as Yaoundé’s strategy depends on one lie: that repetition can replace legitimacy. It cannot. Manufactured confusion collapses when confronted with truth. Control disguised as unity always fails in the end. No one is fooled. Not at home. Not abroad. Not anymore.
