The circumstances that led to the death of Ekobo Ngadele Anatole, who couldn't survive the deep wounds inflicted on him with machetes by the fled assailants. The military as usual in their typical scout like manner retaliated in a very robust and wounded manner on the wrong persons as on the 8th of February shooting bullets into the air.

This caused the Commercial Avenue to be be cordoned off by these band of bandits who robbed indiscriminately and caused pandemonium and general anxiety that saw business operators whom these brutes had robbed to ground business activities. These senseless reprisals on the wrong persons saw youths butchered in Belo by these vandals in state muffin.

It hardly passes a week without someone being killed, most especially those of the military. The restoration forces hold the opinion that they have the right to push out of their territory forces of LA Republique Du Cameroun as well as its administrators. Unfortunately these circumstances won't have come to this sad scenario.

Francophones are now asking the people of Bamenda to stop killing. The one big question that the people of the Southern Cameroon's are asking is " Why didn't the Francophones chastise Biya when he declared the unholy war against the Anglophones" Today the state through their drugged armed bandits tagged soldiers have massacred, maimed, kidnapped and illegally incarcerated thousands of people asking for their right to sovereignty and self determination whereas Francophones applauded their action.

In mathematics 1+ 1 = 2. This therefore means the game of repressive state terrorism and retaliatory attacks by the forces of restoration is balanced. When LA Republique Du Cameroun must have come to his senses, it crawl on its tummy begging for dialogue when it must have been too late.

The February 11 Washington Declaration

WASHINGTON, DC, 11 February 2018 – Six frontline Ambazonian liberation movements on Sunday in Washington, DC, launched a collaborative platform. The Ambazonia Recognition Collaborative Council (ARCC), as the platform is called, focuses on winning worldwide support for the recognition of the Republic of Ambazonia, formerly the United Nations British Trusteeship Territory of Southern Cameroons.

Approved at the end of the three-day Reboot Workshop held (9th – 11th February 2018) at the Catholic University of America, ARCC will galvanize worldwide sympathy, support and recognition for Ambazonia (Africa’s newest nation). It will build a more inclusive, tolerant, credible and legitimate transitional authority as Ambazonians continue their unstoppable march to Buea, capital of the soon-to-be fully liberated Ambazonia.

Ahead of the Reboot Workshop, participants visited Friday with some members of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Congress of the United States of America to draw their attention to the war crimes, atrocity crimes, crimes against humanity and crimes bordering on genocide perpetrated with impunity across Ambazonia by the annexationist regime of President Paul Biya.

On Sunday, ARCC called on the United Nations to demonstrate their commitment to international law, to the protection of refugees, political dissidents and asylum seekers. The international community must force Cameroon to return to the protection of the United Nations all Ambazonian leaders abducted last January in Abuja (Nigeria) and forcibly returned to Cameroon. Failure to reverse this rendition would be the immoral equivalent of returning to Rwanda those Tutsis who fled to safety during the 1994 Rwanda Genocide. Failure to return Comrade Sisiku AyukTabe & Co. to the protection of the United Nations would be the criminal equivalent of forcibly returning to Nazi Germany Jews who had successfully fled Hitler’s gas chambers during the Holocaust.

ARCC denounces, in the strongest terms, the indiscriminate targeting of peace-loving Ambazonians by the occupation forces of Colonial Cameroon (independent on the 1st of January 1960) across Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia (independent on the 1st of October 1961). ARCC members paid homage to the resilience of Ambazonians in the Homeland for remaining remarkably non-violent despite the blind crackdown marked by extrajudicial killings, point blank executions, enforced “disappearances” and a scorched earth policy that has internally displace hundreds of thousands of Ambazonians and forced over 60,000 to flee into refugee camps in Eastern Nigeria.

ARCC Member Organizations reiterated their appeal for the immediate and unconditional release of all Ambazonian political prisoners, inviting the Republic of Cameroon to refrain from further provoking our citizens with the organization in 2018 of a series of illegal colonial elections in Ambazonia. The Reboot Workshop also adopted a legal program in defense of detained Ambazonian prisoners of conscience.

ARCC committed to bring more support and relief to Ambazonian refugees in Nigeria. Through the Cameroon-Nigeria Friendship Network, AMBAZONIA RECOGNITION COLLABORATION COUNCIL (ARCC) ARCC commits to partner with the International Organization of Migration (IOM) to accelerate the transit from Nigeria to another country of as many Ambazonian refugees as possible. Ambazonians are no longer protected in Nigeria given risks of physical elimination during cross-border genocidal raids by Cameroonian forces.

Member Organizations of ARCC reminded the International Criminal Court (ICC) of their responsibility to document evidence of war and atrocity crimes unfolding in Ambazonia. They pledged to set up, over the coming weeks, a Commission of Inquiry to investigate the abductions and rendition of Ambazonian leaders and activists and to ensure that perpetrators – a complex ring of criminals - will be brought to book. To counter the propaganda campaign of shameless lies hatched and disseminated across the globe by Cameroon, the Reboot Workshop agreed to float shares for the setting up of Ambazonia’s first independent radio and television network due to launch in May 2018.

Member Organizations of ARCC also tabled a plan of action – known as the Campaign for the Recognition of Ambazonia (CARA) – whose objectives over the next ten months include proving to the international community that an overwhelming majority of Ambazonians are for peaceful separation from the failed “union” with the Republic of Cameroon. CARA is also aimed at ensuring that every Ambazonian becomes a oneperson “Campaign Manager” for a series of grassroots campaign events. CARA envisages the possibility of organizing ballots to allow the Sovereign People of Ambazonia to elect credible, legitimate and representative governance structure for themselves. ARCC is also calling on the international community to stop living in denial and instead to convene an inclusive and meaningful dialogue to resolve the crisis. That dialogue must provide the option – preferred by a majority of Ambazonians - to peacefully separate from the Republic of Cameroon.

It is denial to admit the harm done by scrapping federalism in 1972; the denial to see the injury caused by Yaounde reverting in 1984 to the name Republic of Cameroun; the 22-year-old denial to implement decentralization; the denial to heed the warnings from Buea Declaration (AACI) in 1993; the denial to accept federalism while it was still a popular option that culminated in outright calls for independence (Zero Option), first warned by the 1994 AAC II. ARCC reminds the international community that the solution to the unprecedented political chaos in Ambazonia can only be political – not military.

ARCC, meantime, calls on all Ambazonians to boycott any events organized by the colonialists from Yaounde, including this year’s so-called local, legislative, senatorial and presidential elections. Ambazonians have rejected the status of an annexed people and/or of second-class citizens in Colonial Cameroon and will no longer live as slaves in the land of our birth.

Do we still want to say that there is no ANGLOPHONE problem and that only a few extremists who are manipulated by the diaspora are the ones disturbing the peace?

Do we still want to say that a few extremists have hijacked two regions for over 15 months now with no end in sight?

Do we want to say that things are stabilising now in the Anglophone regions because we want to please the international community so that elections will hold in Ambazonia?

What began on October 14th 2016 with the Anglophone lawyers and teachers strike has snowballed into a tsunami that will change the course of history forever.
For the second year on the situation has not changed nor will it change anytime soon.

The civil disobedience movements lead by Rosa Parks in the US, Nelson Mandela in SA changed the course of their history forever.

The so called youth day 2018 has again recorded massive boycott in many parts of Ambazonia territory with unabashed, unashamed disapproval. In some town's like Mundemba, there wasn't a single student on the field, only the TTC marched, in Bamenda, in spite of the ambulant students that were ferried from the Ouest like last year, the attendance figure was simply disturbing.

The same scenario was recorded in Njinikom, Widikum, Manyu where ghost did the marching in lieu of students in spite of reassurances and the bribe schemes that were put In place by the authorities.
In Buea we can estimate a 40-50% attendance despite all the efforts with a tense atmosphere and generalised fear. Few taxis plied the Buea roads today.

We don't seem to get tired of improvising. When then going gets really tough, even prisoners and hoodlums from the ghettos are used to replace students in a show of shame. The notion of ambulant mechsnisms isn't new as we usually employ ambulant voters during elections to vote in favour of the ruling party.

After all said and done, after all the killing, maiming, looting, arson, vandalism and military bravado, the problem persists.

For how long shall we continue to deny the truth?

I can only express regrets over those Anglophones who want to continue being slaves to LRC. Anglophones are once again on the cross roads of marginalization with the creating of the Constitutional Council. This is where I join BEN MUNA to say that Anglophones must continue to fight, even if it takes 100 years to liberate themselves from such captivity.
FRANCIS WACHE mentioned in 1996 that the AJIDJO/BIYA regimes have kept prostituting with the constitutions over time to ensure that an Anglophone never becomes president and that is a truism.

When the PM was Anglophone (FONCHA) under AHIDJO, the constitution was amended to grant succession right to the speaker of the national assembly. When the speaker of national assembly was Anglophone (MUNA) the constitution was amended and the speaker had to ensure a smooth transition of power by conducting elections in which he (the Speaker) will not be a candidate, invoking the maxim of someone not judge and jury in your own case.

When Biya came he ensured that the speaker remained francophone and now that the Constitutional Council is set up, the pioneer chairman is a francophone, so either ways, power remains in the hands of the francophones.
The constitutional council president has accession rights to the throne in the event of vacancy of the throne.

So where does that leave the Anglophones?

President of the Republic- francophone

President of Constitutional Council - francophone

Secretary General at the Presidency- francophone

Director of Civil Cabinet - francophone

Head of Economic and Social Council- francophone

President of Senate -francophone

President of National Assembly -francophone

Finally, prime minister who is a toothless bull dog comes after how many places in State Protocol? Even the Secretary General at the Prime Ministers office possesses more powers than his boss as the former receives direct orders from the Presidency, to the utter dismay of his boss and this post has been reserved almost exclusively for the Anglophones.

Biya has put in place his rigging machinery to ensure an absolute victory in the next elections, regardless of the fact that people are dying on a daily basis in the Anglophone zone. They will tell you that the youths are the leaders of tomorrow but an appointment of this nature has its youngest member being above 70 years then I begin to doubt what the above adage means. Perhaps someone takes delight in celebrating senility here.

At the height of the Anglophone crisis, the Common Law entrance exam that was organized in ENAM had just 02 Anglophones featured out of the 20 admitted candidates. Biya once again reminds Anglophones that they are a captured people who are used as a trophy to brandish to the captors. . Biya has once again reminded Anglophones as it has been said in several quarters that an Anglophone will never be president, reason why we must continue to use all means to fight.

Keeping them honest: Ambazonia-to kill or let die a clear and present danger
Ambazonia, the spirit which now symbolizes Anglophone independence aspirations, is a child of incest, fathered by the gang rape of Anglophones by Francophones. It cannot be killed by force; only Anglophones can let it die
