AMBAZONIAN GENERAL SPIRITO of FOE BAKUNDU KILLED IN BATTLE

Fellow Ambazonians,

The Interim Government of Ambazonia can confirm this evening that, yesterday, Thursday 18 March 2021, a great Ambazonian warrior was killed in battle.

General Spirito was unfortunately killed in a battle in Foe Bakundu, Mbonge LGA, Meme County as he commanded a brave battalion of Ambazonian troops in a fierce battle against the invading armed forces of French Cameroun.

French Cameroun forces executed eight unarmed civilians in an unprovoked attack yesterday in Foe Bakundu. This prompted General Spirito to engage the enemy and sadly he lost his life with another brave warrior that Ambazonia Intelligence Services is working vigorously to identify.

General Spirito has been at the forefront of our battle for independence and freedom from the start and has never wavered. He was a fierce fighter who defended our homeland with will power and bravery. Thanks to his foresight, The Interim Government Ambazonia can announce that he leaves behind other heroes who will keep his vision for freedom burning.

General Spirito’s death is a timely reminder to our young nation about the dangers faced by our heroic forces in this fight for liberation. As a nation, let this day strengthen our collective resolve for freedom.

Let the death of General Spirito strengthen our boldness in protecting homeland through the big Rubbergun. Let us honor his vision for freedom by investing in the Big Rubbergun.

God Bless General Spirito’s soul for he died a fighter and a champion for freedom and independence for mankind.

God Bless the Federal Republic of Ambazonia

Thank You,

Dabney Yerima

Vice President

The Southern Cameroons Secretary of the Economy, Comrade Tabenyang Brado says through the Bank of Ambazonia, Southern Cameroons will muster all its strength to continue on the path towards achieving an independent state by investing in the Big Rubbergun Project and self defense.

Secretary Tabenyang Brado made the comments on Wednesday in a brilliant submission to a virtual Amba war cabinet meeting chaired by Vice President Dabney Yerima as he made public plans for the financing of the final and decisive phase of the Ambazonian resistance.

On Ground Zero, French Cameroun military hostilities will persist, Tabenyang Brado said, adding, “The department of the Economy will remain involved in raising money for the struggle as well as in the area of self defense and the Big Rubbergun, and my department will continue to achieve top goals in the independence battle with our full strength.”

He said ever since the US Senate passed Resolution 684 which called on the US government to explore placing targeted sanctions on members of the ruling CPDM crime syndicate regime in Yaoundé for gross human rights violations in the Federal Republic of Ambazonia, the Biya Francophone regime has been under maximum pressure.

Federal Republic of Ambazonia

The leader of the Ambazonian nation President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe and his second in command Comrade Dabney Yerima have in a joint statement called on the Southern Cameroons Self Defense Forces to remain united and focus on meritorious activities with courage and strength.

President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe and Vice President Dabney Yerima made the remarks in a message addressed to Southern Cameroons Restoration Forces late on Tuesday.

“On behalf of the founding fathers of our nation; We  send our  greetings to all the Restoration Forces on Ground 1 and on  Ground Zero; May the Almighty God bless you with a successful mission to Buea; remain united and focus on the self defense assignment”   the Ambazonia leaders stated in the message.

The Southern Cameroons Self Defense Force was formed on the order of the Ambazonia Interim Government shortly after the proclamation of the independence of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia when the level of barbarism being perpetuated by the Cameroon government military and the Francophone dominated government militias to completely annihilate the Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia) became alarming.

 As a result of the on-going genocide in the Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia), an estimated 20,000 people have been killed, over 500 towns and villages have been burnt down, over 120,000 people are seeking refuge in Nigeria and further afield, over 1million people are internally displaced or living in bushes and over 3,000 persons incarcerated in prisons and detention facilities.

Over the past four years, the Southern Cameroons Self Defense Force has successfully defended the Ambazonian nation from attacks by the enemy French Cameroun regime in Yaoundé.

It has also been playing a momentous role in fighting terror created by a pro Cameroon government armed group known as Atanga Nji Boys.

The trial of three members of security forces accused of involvement in the killings of 21 civilians in Ngarbuh, in Cameroon’s North-West region, is due to resume today.

The trial, which began on December 17, 2020, and adjourned twice, takes place before the military court in the capital, Yaoundé, about 380 kilometers from Ngarbuh, making it difficult for family members of victims to attend. Family members’ lawyers are concerned about how challenging it is for their clients to participate in the trial, as is their right as civil parties in the case under Cameroon law. They would prefer the trial be held at the military court in Bamenda, closer to Ngarbuh.

“Our clients don’t have the financial means to travel to Yaoundé,” Richard Tamfu, one of the lawyers, told Human Rights Watch. “The court sitting in Bamenda would fit with the key principle of meaningful access to justice, bringing it closer to the victims.”

The attack on the village of Ngarbuh on February 14, 2020, was one of the worst by Cameroonian army soldiers since the crisis in the Anglophone regions began in late 2016. Soldiers killed 21 civilians, including 13 children and a pregnant woman, and burned 5 homes in a reprisal attack aimed at punishing residents suspected of harboring separatist fighters. Two soldiers and a gendarme have been arrested in connection with the massacre and charged with murder, arson, destruction, violence against a pregnant woman, and disobeying orders. Seventeen members of a vigilante group and a former separatist fighter have also been charged but remain at large.

On February 3, some families of the Ngarbuh victims received food items and 5 million CFA (US $9,000) each as compensation for the destruction of their property from the Governor of the North-West region, on behalf of President Paul Biya, a move criticized by lawyers representing the families who said it is up to the court to decide on reparations.

The participation of victims of gross human rights violations in criminal proceedings is an essential way of giving them a voice. Cameroonian authorities, with the support of international partners, if necessary, should ensure that the victims’ families can attend and participate in the trial so that their rights to justice and reparations are upheld.

The Quebec coroner is investigating the death of Mireille Ndjomouo, who posted a video on social media two days before she died claiming staff at a hospital on Montreal’s South Shore had ignored her allergies.

Ndjomouo, a 44-year-old single mother of three from Cameroon, posted a video to social media last Sunday.

She repeatedly said staff at Charles-Le Moyne Hospital in Longueuil had treated her with penicillin, even though she said they knew that she was allergic.

In the video, Ndjomouo begged anyone watching to help her get transferred to another hospital.

Ndjomouo repeatedly said in the video that she was having trouble breathing, had pain all through her body and that her stomach was swollen.

She also said she was injected with penicillin over the course of three days.

Ndjomouo said the injections stopped when a nurse noticed that her lips were swollen and said the reaction wasn’t normal.

After seeing the video online, members of the Cameroonian community in Montreal went to the hospital with Ndjomouo’s sister and arranged to have her transferred to the Jewish General Hospital. 

Ndjomouo died there on Tuesday. The cause of her death is not yet known.

The regional health authority that oversees the Charles-Le Moyne Hospital, the CISSS de la Montérégie-Centre, told CBC in an email that it can’t comment on the case due to confidentiality, but did say that the quality department is looking into it.

The Jewish General Hospital would not give details about Ndjomouo, citing patient confidentiality.

On Saturday, friends and family of Ndjomouo held a demonstration outside of Charles-Le Moyne Hospital, demanding answers.

“She’s gone, but many questions still remain about what happened to her,” said Christine Ndjomouo, Mireille’s sister.

“I keep hearing her voice saying, ‘Come and save me. Come and save me, they’re going to kill me. I’m all puffed up. Get me out of here.’ That’s what I hear every day since it happened,” she said.

Christine said her sister lost faith in the personnel at the hospital and wanted to leave. She said it took five hours of negotiation before the hospital agreed to transfer her sister.

Friends have started an online fundraiser for the family, to help support Ndjomouo’s children and repatriate her body to Cameroon.

The leader of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia, President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe called on Thursday for the withdrawal of all Cameroon government army soldiers and French Cameroun armed militias known as Atanga Nji Boys from Southern Cameroons territory without further delay in an interview with the pan African French language news magazine Jeune Afrique.

President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe also welcomed US Congress new unified efforts, which is set to lead the Biya French Cameroun regime after four years of conflict to the negotiating table.

“The people of the Southern Cameroons, (also known as Ambazonia) are a peace-loving people. They want peace at all cost. Remember, that in 1958 Southern Cameroons had a democratic election and a peaceful transfer of power during their period of self-rule under British trusteeship. The people still have and cherish these values.  However, there can be no peace without justice. If Mr Biya claims he does not know whom to talk to, then why were we abducted from Nigeria in January 2018?”  President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe said.

“With regards to La Republique du Cameroun government’s claim that we have been totally defeated, this is not the first time we are hearing that from them. They should match their words with reality. Remember their denial of Ngarbuh Massacre and many others. The war has been raging unabated for 4 years now. Under his instructions and watch Mr Biya’s forces have embarked on committing genocide in the Southern Cameroons/ Ambazonia. The world silently watches as this goes on, in complete disregard of the R2P commitment and the Never Again Promise after the 1993/94 Genocide in Rwanda. We are bothered if the war continues for a long time because of the lives of our people killed every day by Cameroun military forces, but until Mr Biya and his colonial forces leave our territory, for us, it is “TOTAL INDEPENDENCE OR RESISTANCE FOREVER” President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe furthered.

The level of barbarism being perpetuated by the Cameroon government military and the Francophone dominated government militias as Yaoundé pursue its genocidal war and scorch earth policy to completely annihilate the Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia) is alarming. As a result of the on-going genocide in the Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia), an estimated 20,000 people have been killed, over 500 towns and villages have been burnt down, over 120,000 people are seeking refuge in Nigeria and further afield, over 1million people are internally displaced or living in bushes and over 3,000 persons incarcerated in prisons and detention facilities.

While not exonerating Ambazonian self-defense forces, the international community is also aware that the Biya Francophone regime is doing everything through its private militia (popularly known as Atanga Nji Boys) to commit atrocities and link them to Ambazonia self-defense forces, so as to evoke international sympathy.

The Southern Cameroons Interim Government have previously denounced the presence in the Federal Republic of Ambazonia of Cameroon government troops and armed groups made up of unemployed Southern Cameroons youth.
