“I’ve been asked to denounce the Ambazonian struggle, slam Sisiku Ayuk Tabe’s actions” 0
In a rare disclosure, the Vice President of the Southern Cameroons Interim Government says French Cameroun regime officials attempted to persuade him to denounce the Ambazonian struggle and also condemn President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe for declaring the independence of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia.
Speaking exclusively to Cameroon Concord News on Monday, Vice President Dabney Yerima said Cameroon embassy officials in some EU countries including the US infiltrated the Interim Government and encouraged unhealthy rivalry and divisions among Southern Cameroons front line figures.
The exiled Southern Cameroons leader also revealed that he got anonymous telephone calls asking him to denounce the Southern Cameroons uprising and criticize President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe and that a handsome reward await him if he accepted the proposal.
Comrade Dabney Yerima, however, said he had rejected the nasty and provocative advance from the corrupt Biya Francophone regime in French Cameroun.
Yerima added that Paul Atanga Nji has been reportedly calling upon Southern Cameroons traditional rulers and prominent elites to betray their people, “I have no words to describe my rejection of such criminal moves,” the Ambazonia Vice President asserted.
He also hinted that some senior Southern Cameroons personalities were recently invited to communicate with elements of the Francophone dominated secret service in Yaoundé.

Southern Cameroons Crisis: Two Cameroon gov’t soldiers killed in Njinikom 0
Two members of the Cameroon government Francophone dominated military have been killed in an armed attack by Ambazonia Restoration Forces in Njinikom, Boyo constituency.
According to government cables, the incident took place on Tuesday, when the pro Yaoundé army soldiers were on a patrol in Njinikom.
Yaoundé is yet to identify the soldiers but a video made public by Southern Cameroon Self Defense Forces in Boyo detailed the attack and the military equipments gained by the Amba fighters.
Cameroon Concord News gathered that four bullets hit both of the soldiers in the head and six bullets hit their hands.
The Southern Cameroons Interim Government has not commented on the happenings in Boya. However, an aide to Vice President Dabney Yerima has been quoted as saying the Francophone soldiers were in Njinikom to commit inhuman crimes.
Southern Cameroons has been a victim of French Cameroun military attacks for over five years now.
After decades of chafing at perceived discrimination and marginalization, the people of Southern Cameroons led by their leader President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe declared the independence of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia in 2017, triggering a crackdown by the French backed Francophone authorities in Yaoundé.
The spiral of fighting has claimed more than 10,000 lives and prompted more than a million people to flee their homes, according to the International Crisis Group (ICG) think tank.
Amba fighters are now targeting police, soldiers, officials and schools, which they deem to be symbols of the French Cameroun state.
The Francophone armed forces have also been accused of abuses — charges that the Cameroonian authorities have in the past been quick to dismiss.
