The Southern Cameroons Homeland Security Chief, Bishop John Egyawan has vowed that Ambazonia restoration forces will never give up their arms as called for by the 85 year French Cameroun leader Paul Biya.

“No government in French Cameroun will force our Southern Cameroons fighters to drop their weapons, force them to surrender their arms, as long as Ambazonians believe in this resistance,” noted John Egyawan who also claimed French Cameroun is losing in the fighting.

Bishop Egyawan also added that, “The Southern Cameroons Interim Government does not wish that restoration forces should keep their weapons forever because they too should be preparing to be part of Southern Cameroons domestic life.”

Speaking exclusively to Cameroon Intelligence Report on Christmas Day, the Southern Cameroons Homeland Security boss assured Ambazonians that, “Those who say the revolution is weak, I want to say it’s stronger than ever. We are preparing for a long war and strengthening our capability,” he said.

John Egyawan further explained that the resistance has been able to regroup and rearm and will of course regain its capability. He called for unity among all Southern Cameroonians saying that Southern Cameroons towns and villages have been completely destroyed by French Cameroun government soldiers and more than 4000 Southern Cameroonians have been killed in order to frighten and intimidate Ambazonians but Southern Cameroonians are the most brave and most courageous people in the Sub Saharan region.

“Peace be with you during this Christmas season and with your martyrs and with your families. Your Interim Government feels your pain, and we salute your tears and your blood and your destroyed homes, and we salute your will and your determination,” Bishop Egyawan said.

An attack by suspected Cameroon separatists left one person dead and several wounded in the latest bout of unrest in the country’s Northwest, a local official said.

The attack, which also saw several houses set ablaze, came in the early hours at Bangourain, a town in a French-speaking region bordering the anglophone area in the country’s western highlands.

The official said it was not clear how many people had been hurt or how many properties had been torched as “we are still piecing together a toll.”

Unprecedented violence has marred the past year in Cameroon’s two mainly anglophone provinces, spilling over into French-speaking regions as English speakers rail against “marginalization.”

Cameroon’s newly-reelected 85-year-old President Paul Biya vowed last month to ramp up decentralization to address “frustrations and aspirations” in English-speaking regions after winning a seventh term in office.

That was the first time in 13 months of pro-independence violence that Biya had clearly acknowledged the struggles of those living in anglophone areas.

But although Biya has earlier this month dropped charges against 289 people detained for violence, he firmly ruled out secession for the English-speaking regions, home to around a fifth of Cameroon’s 22 million people.

The unrest has left more than 500 civilians and more than 200 security forces personnel dead according to the International Crisis Group, while displacing almost 450,000 more.

Acting President Ikome Sako of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia says the French Cameroun regime has failed to achieve any goals from its more than 2 years military campaign on conflict-ridden Southern Cameroons.

“We have effectively denied our adversaries the military victory they promised their western Masters! We have convinced all that Biya cannot retain Ambazonia by use of force any more. Hence the new solution: “Dialogue without precondition”.  President Sako noted recently in the US.

The Ambazonian Acting President further pointed out that the French Cameroun assaults on Batibo, Nkambe, Bali, Kembong and Ekok were meant to break the will of the Southern Cameroons nation and restoration forces, but instead increased their resilience and steadfastness.

Dr Ikome Sako noted that “From UN to USA, From Uk Parliament to Germany’s Bundestag, From the Scandinavia to Switzerland, the ultimatums are raining on Biya. Those who love this revolution should actively shame all demagogies against the IG and fearlessly defend it against destructive lies.”

He stated that Biya and his gang of inexperienced French Cameroun political elites rushed to launch a military campaign against Southern Cameroonians because they knew their claims of a one and indivisible Cameroon was plain fiction and groundless.

The Ambazonian Interim Government has slammed the numerous French Cameroun attacks on Southern Cameroons as a flagrant violation of Southern Cameroons’s sovereignty. “The war that Biya and his Francophone army are waging against Southern Cameroons, against its people and the Ambazonian restoration forces will not realize its goals” Dr Sako added.
