Is this a joke or just provocation?
Whoever dreamt up this obnoxious idea stands condemned in the most strongest terms. They are asking the same Diaspora they have maligned and even banished from Cameroon to contribute. It has confirmed my worst fears about Manyu people in the CPDM: their capacity to shock and scandalize is infinite. The Manyu Man is My 2017 Person of the Year

There is hardly any human being who embodies the completeness of creation as much as the Manyu man does. A bundle of contradiction who questions himself/herself at every turn, a positivist who interrogates his own very essence, the Manyu man is at once a rot on the outside and a creature of untold beauty on the inside. He or she has it all but is a study in emptiness on the use to which his talents are put. The vicissitudes of the ongoing Anglophone crisis and the atrocities of the occupying soldiers have made Manyu the ground zero of the Anglophone resistance; and Manyu people have borne all their suffering with remarkable equanimity.

Boston Massachusetts resident and US citizen of Ambazonian decent, Fabian Fomuki who was abducted by soldiers loyal to Cameroon's veteran dictator Biya has been released and escorted to Nsimalemn International Airport today Monday, 15.01.2018, after spending over 7 months without charges in Biya's dungeons in Yaounde.

Fabian left the US for Cameroon early June of 2017, on the 20th of that same month, he went to Douala to negotiate the clearance of his container from the Doaula seaport, later that evening, upon arriving his hotel, he was approached by plain cloth officers and bundled up to an unkown location.

It took over a week after his abduction for the family and well wishers, with intervention of the US embassy in Yaounde to locate his whereabouts.He was held in captivity and denied access to lawyers and his family.Trumped up charges were levied against him for inciting terror against the state, after the US embassy pressed for a fair and transparent accusation if any.

Fabian had been a critic of the brutal suppression of civil liberties in the Anglophone regions by the Biya regime. In September of 2017, four US congressmen wrote to Secretary of State Tillerson, calling on the USA government to press Paul Biya for his release.

The Biya's regime had been put under immense international pressure to release all US citizens in its detention centerS.

Fabian is back on his way to the US.He will be departing this afternoon onboard an Ethiopian Airlines to meet his family back after the ordeal.

MONROVIA (Reuters) - Liberia’s ruling Unity Party has expelled the country’s outgoing president, Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who is accused by party leaders of meddling in last year’s presidential elections in which its candidate suffered a bruising defeat.

Johnson Sirleaf, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate who has been in power for 12 years, denies the party’s allegations that she held inappropriate private meetings with election magistrates before the Oct. 10 vote.

Four other party officials were also expelled, the party said in a statement distributed on Sunday.

“The behaviour of the expelled persons ... constitutes sabotage and undermined the existence of the party,” said the statement announcing the decision, which was taken by the party’s executive committee late on Saturday.

A senior official in Johnson Sirleaf’s office declined to comment on the decision. The president and other officials were not immediately available on Sunday.

Former soccer star George Weah defeated the Unity Party’s Joseph Boakai in a landslide, marking the first democratic transition of power in Liberia - a nation founded by freed American slaves - in over 70 years.

The statement said Johnson Sirleaf and the other members had violated rules, including a requirement to support all Unity Party candidates in elections.

Weah will be sworn in later this month.

Johnson Sirleaf won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2011 for helping secure peace after civil wars from 1989-2003. But her critics say she has not done enough to ease rampant poverty - a task complicated by a 2014-16 Ebola epidemic that killed thousands of Liberians.

Her administration has also faced repeated allegations of corruption and nepotism. She denies the accusations, but they resonated with many of the voters who rallied to Weah’s call for change.

Weah, who in 1995 became the only African to win FIFA World Player of the Year, now faces sky-high expectations from his base of young supporters. Others, who see him as lacking the experience and knowledge for the job, remain sceptical.
