President Paul Biya was recently spotted in a secured park in Geneva with what appeared to be a bandage on the back of his head.

The bandage appeared toward the left side of the 88-year-old dictator’s head during a walk in the Geneva Park, Cameroon Intelligence Report correspondent on special assignment to Geneva covering the secretive corrupt leader reported.

Biya has frequently faced speculation that he is in ill health. Our sources in Geneva say he was spotted limping in the park and appeared to be breathless.

An official at the Cameroon embassy in Switzerland contacted by CIR said getting an insight into Biya’s health would be the toughest because of Biya’s entourage robust counterintelligence practices.

Cameroon Intelligence Report understands President Biya is in very grave danger after surgery in a private clinic in Geneva.

The remains of 5 Cameroon government police officers killed in the Southern Cameroons war returned home to Yaoundé and have been handed over to their families.

A Cameroon government military ambulance carrying the caskets arrived in the Yaoundé military mortuary today and a handover ceremony was staged by the police force.

The five police officers from the Beti-Ewondo extraction fought on the Cameroon government’s side against Southern Cameroons Restoration Forces in Bali and were killed by Amba fighters on July 18, 2021.

Ever since the war started, the remains of Francophone service men and women have been buried on several quiet hillsides and forest in both South West and North West.

The Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime has never given a precise number for its Southern Cameroons war dead, but estimates run as high as 3000.

Renowned Southern Cameroons political elite, Prof Carlson Anyangwe has strongly dismissed accusations against Ambazonia Restoration Forces on the recent attempt to kidnap workers at Ndu Tea plantation, stating that such claims are politically-motivated by agents of the French Cameroun regime in Yaoundé and meant to tarnish the image of the Ambazonia Restoration Forces.

“Any clowns appointed DO or SDO by the regime in French Cameroun rushes to hold the Ambazonia Restoration Forces responsible for whatever goes wrong in Southern Cameroons. The Southern Cameroons Interim Government is simply asking for an international fact finding mission to establish the reality in the Federal Republic of Ambazonia” Prof Anyangwe noted.

He continued, “French Cameroun is still inventing and playing new blame games: Who declared war against the people of British Southern Cameroons? You well know who did it. Who had a well equipped military before the war started? You know much better than anyone else. These French Cameroun clowns in Yaoundé must be aware of the facts and present them. By not stating the facts, they are taking advantage of any possible opportunity to hold Ambazonia Restoration Forces responsible. They will clearly fail to tie Amba fighters to the Ndu Tea Plantation kidnap affair. Such accusations are politically-motivated from Yaoundé.”

The Vice President of the Southern Cameroons Interim Government Dabney Yerima says the current health situation of the French Cameroun dictator in Geneva has pushed Ambazonia Restoration Forces to move to high alert and significantly increased its combat readiness preparing for an imminent chaotic situation in La Republique du Cameroun.

Vice President Dabney Yerima made the comment on Tuesday and said Amba fighters were on the highest alert level ever since the Southern Cameroons war started four years ago.

The Francophone dominated military recently rejected the idea of deploying its air force in Manyu Division in what the French Cameroun military officials claimed will not change the situation in Ground Zero.  The army leaders added that there was an urgent need for a political solution to the crisis in Southern Cameroons.

Dabney Yerima announced that Amba fighters would be on alert and warned the Beti Ewondo youthful and inexperience leaders deputizing for the 88-year-old Biya against a continuation of the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo folly against the Federal Republic of Ambazonia.

Yerima stressed in a conversation with Cameroon Concord News London Bureau Chief Isong Asu on Tuesday that all Ambazonia Restoration forces would take unseen defensive measures and monitor the French Cameroun occupying forces maneuvers.

At least 40 people were killed and dozens injured in Cameroon on Wednesday and Thursday in three road accidents involving travel buses, the Ministry of Transport has announced.

The deadliest accident occurred Thursday morning in Batchenga, 60km north of the capital Yaoundé, and killed 22 people in a collision between a travel bus and a truck carrying sand, Transport Minister Jean Ernest Masséna Ngalle Bibehe wrote in a statement.

On Wednesday night, another accident killed 16 people and injured several others about 50 km east of Yaoundé, after another bus collided with a semi-trailer truck.

Finally, a third accident left two people dead and 28 injured in the center of the country.

“These unfortunate incidents, which occurred in the midst of a special campaign of prevention and road safety (…) highlight the negligence of both intercity transport companies and freight carriers,” said the Minister.

“The Minister of Transport informs the transport companies of people and goods, it will proceed from now on to their suspension of any transport activity in case of new involvement in a road accident,” he also wrote.

Road accidents involving passenger buses are relatively frequent and deadly in Cameroon. In late January, at least 53 people were killed in a collision between a bus and a van carrying fuel in the west. In late December, at least 37 people, including ten women and four children, died in another accident.

Two criminals posing as members of the Ambazonia Restoration Force were killed today at Ndu by Cameroon government soldiers deployed to the area.

The Francophone civil administrator in Ndu was quoted as saying that the “Amba Terrorist came to kidnap workers of the Ndu Tea Plantation but were neutralized by Cameroon government forces.”

Cameroon Concord News sources in Ndu revealed that the two gunmen were local criminals who had been terrorizing the area and had nothing to do with Southern Cameroons Self Defense Groups.

The two armed robbers reportedly disguised as Amba fighters and fired bullets at different locations in the tea plantation, many of them randomly. They were killed in a confrontation with BIR.

A close aide to Vice President Dabney Yerima of the Southern Cameroons Interim Government contacted by Camcordnews said today that the Ambazonia Interim Government believes there may be more Atanga Nji Boys abandoned by the Minister of Territorial Administration within Ndu who are now committing crimes.

Dr Patrick Ayuk said that the Southern Cameroons Interim Government was “on the verge” of restructuring the county-by-county self defense protocols to be able to fish out the Atanga Nji Boys.

Ambazonia Restoration Forces providing security in Bui Division have destroyed several Cameroon government military trucks transporting security forces as well as some armored vehicles and artillery systems.

Cameroon Intelligence Report gathered from administrative sources in Bamenda that the armored vehicles were part of a huge volume of military equipment donated or sold to the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime by the French to help it crush the British Southern Cameroons resistance.

A video released by the Bui Warriors also claimed that they had seized and destroyed several trucks from Cameroon government forces.

Cameroon government soldiers deployed to the rural areas in Southern Cameroons are evaporating in the face of Ambazonia pressure—sometimes without a fight, due in part to the perception that the government is reportedly crumbling as the 88-year-old President Paul Biya smells his last days on earth.

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) is withdrawing from Southern Cameroons after failing to reach an agreement with the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime following eight months of suspension despite extensive negotiations.

The announcement of MSF’s withdrawal was made public Tuesday, August 3, 2021, through a statement by Emmanuel Lampaert coordinator of MSF operations in Central Africa.

“We therefore have no choice but to withdraw our teams. However, we will keep a small liaison office in Bamenda, the regional capital, to continue the dialogue with the authorities,” he said.

It was in December 2020 that the international NGO was suspended from all activities in Southern Cameroons on a lame and ridiculous reason that its physicians were helping Ambazonia Restoration Forces.

Hardliners in the regime including Defense Minister Beti Assomo and Territorial Administration Minister Paul Atanga Nji accused the NGO of collaborating with the Southern Cameroons Interim Government and Southern Cameroons Self Defense Forces and also of treating wounded Ambazonians in the name of international humanitarian law.

The Biya French Cameroun conman Paul Atanga Nji wanted by the Special Criminal Court in Yaoundé even said in a press conference in Yaoundé that weapons and ammunition were found in MSF ambulances.

Last May, MSF’s CEO visited Yaoundé and was received by the Minister of External Relations, the Minister of Defense and Paul Atanga Nji of Territorial administration.

After discussions with LeJeune Mbella Mbella (Minrex) Joseph Beti Assomo (Mindef) and Paul Atanga Nji (Minat), no compromise was reached.

According to Doctors Without Borders, the Biya regime officials want the NGO to act as an “intelligence agency and to report to Yaoundé every location where injured Ambazonia fighters are being treated.”

The Beti Ewondo gang opposed the requirements of international humanitarian law, specifically the Vienna Convention, which sets out the principles of neutrality and independence of NGOs.

MSF has been providing emergency medical care and free ambulance service in Southern Cameroons since 2018.The NGO says that since its suspension, several children have died for lack of medicine, due to the lack of means to get to hospitals.

Popular French Cameroun political analyst was recently kicked off his prime time slot for pro Southern Cameroons comment.

Dieudonné Essomba has participated in the ”Club d’Elites”, broadcast every Sunday on the private television channel, Vision 4 show since its inception but was ousted over his pro Southern Cameroons statements.

Vision 4 bosses contacted by our Yaoundé city reporter insist it is due to heightened sensitivities and to avoid accusations of a conflict of interest.

His last appearance on the popular program was on July 18, 2021 in which the economist analyzed the anti-Biya demonstration organized on July 17 by Cameroonian activists, united under the banner of the Anti-Sardinard Brigade (BAS).

The French Cameroun political commentator indexed the Biya regime and accused it of being at the origin of all the ongoing crises in Cameroon particularly the war in Southern Cameroons.

Speaking to reporters in Yaoundé recently, Dieudonné Essomba said “I signed a contract with Vision 4. For now, it has not been terminated. But they have asked me not to come anymore”.

The war in Southern Cameroons is not generating a drumbeat of daily headlines in French speaking Cameroon, even though the conflict has claimed thousands of Anglophone and Francophone lives and seen tens of thousands of Southern Cameroonians as refugees in neighbouring Nigeria. It is indeed a conflict that will go on for a long time and will eventually see children of veteran soldiers deployed in the same war.

The Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime has no pity for English speaking Cameroonians. Correspondingly, the death of children and pregnant women during this fighting does not arouse any pity in Yaoundé. The Biya criminal gang has one objective – proving that it can win a war – and the generals leading the troops clearly hold that the insurgency is an opportunity for them to enrich themselves.

But for over four years now, the initial purpose of the Francophone dominated military mission – to go after Ambazonia Restoration Forces and destroyed English speaking Cameroon– has not been met and the mission has now devolved into French Cameroun’s “forever war”.

As Biya and his Beti Ewondo military leaders continue to unleash its army soldiers on the Southern Cameroons population just to demonstrate its strength, Ambazonia Restoration Forces are fighting back and killing the Francophone soldiers in their numbers.

A total of 2067 Cameroon government soldiers have died and 9000 have been wounded since the war started four years ago. The number of Southern Cameroons civilian deaths range from 25,000 to 35,000, while the cost of military operations continues to rise.

More than 2,000 Francophone army soldiers have escaped to the Ivory Coast via Nigeria and many are defecting to seek safety in other French speaking African countries, according to Cameroon Ministry of Defense. Instead of seeking ways of ending the violence and engineering peace in the two English-speaking regions of the country, the Yaounde government is doing its best to prove a point that has no raison d’etre. 

This is a war that could have been clearly avoided if the government had used known instruments of conflict management and resolution. Genuine dialogue, a key thrust of conflict resolution, was clearly ignored and to deceive the people of Southern Cameroons and the international community, the despicable Yaoundé government organized a semblance of dialogue wherein it chose who had to participate in it, which issues had to be discussed and what resolutions and conclusions had to be reached by the participants; an idea which only caused the conflict to escalate by multiple notches.

The recent killing of two Southern Cameroons civilians and raping of a 53-year-old woman is no accident and let nobody be deceived by whatever the government would say.

The Yaounde government is in the business of winning an argument and it will stop at nothing to prove its point. As usual, it will order an investigation, the findings of which will remain a dead letter like most of the other investigations conducted over the last 39 years by a government that has been conducting itself like a crime syndicate made in the same mould as the Sicilian Mafia.
