The French Cameroun regime in Yaoundé
has arrested dozens of Southern Cameroons activists in Mezam, Fako, Ndian,
Manyu, Kupe Muanenguba and Bui counties some few months after sentencing the
Ambazonia leader President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe and his top aides to life in
prison.
Many of the Southern Cameroons
citizens arrested have been moved to detention facilities in French Cameroun
local Ambazonia media reported.
A French Cameroun state counsel
who issued the recent arrest orders on Saturday was quoted as saying that the
Southern Cameroonians were aiding separatists’ fighters.
Last week, 13 Southern
Cameroonians civilians including a prominent Pentecostal pastor were again
arrested in the Akwaya sub constituency in Manyu after a Francophone military
commander ordered the magistrate to overturn a previous acquittal.
In a situation described by the
International Crisis Group as a travesty of justice, the Biya regime has
secretly barred members of the Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium
from running in parliamentary and municipal elections coming up early next
year.
The ruling CPDM crime syndicate
has maintained a heavy-handed crackdown on Southern Cameroons protests since
the so-called one and indivisible Cameroon was hit by an anti-French Cameroun
uprising in 2017.
France and the President Buhari
administration in the Federal Republic of Nigeria have been helping Yaoundé in
the crackdown. So far more than 20,000 Southern Cameroonians have been killed
and thousands of others are in jails.
