Southern Cameroons Vice President Dabney Yerima has lauded the Ambazonian nation and its Restoration Forces for compelling French Cameroun dictator Paul Biya to confess to France’s colonial policy of assimilation during a televised panel discussion hosted by the renowned Mo Ibrahim in Paris saying the truths and the whole truths will be coming out now and those truths would be the only path to set Southern Cameroons- Ambazonia free.

Comrade Dabney Yerima observed that the demonic terrorist and butcher of Yaoundé Paul Biya has started his own truth telling in Paris. “Soon and very soon, the milking colonialist France will be singing those truths as our brave Amba boys and girls will push them out of the breadbasket”

“All this happening, not because of the noise we make, or the lies we tell or the seeking to be in the limelight as leaders of this revolution; all these and more to come because of the courage, bravery, resilience and determination of our patriots, the brave warriors, the Amba boys and girls who said enough is enough and picked up the path of self defense and decided to sacrifice all including their lives to stop the nonsense” Vice President Yerima added.

The exiled Ambazonia leader furthered that “We must never forget their services and sacrifices to our people and nation. As we wear our beautiful expensive suits, look good in TV and take flights to places to project being leaders and show of relevance, we should never forget those who go around naked, hungry and give up everything including their lives for all these truths to be coming out in broad daylight.”

The Ambazonia Vice President made the comments while speaking with a group of Southern Cameroons media practitioners in Holland on Sunday. Dabney Yerima also decried French Cameroun’s continued military aggression against Ambazonians.

Southern Cameroons Restoration Forces have effectively paralyzed the Biya Francophone regime and the French Cameroun army. The latest French Cameroun troop’s deployment in the Federal Republic of Ambazonia comes as many observers have suggested that the more than three years genocidal campaign may have been intentionally timed to serve Biya and France’s political interests.

Ambazonia President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe has reacted to a fake message issued by the French Cameroun regime and its Southern Cameroons acolytes to the people of the Southern Zone of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia saying it is the work of lazy losers and enemies of the restoration train.

The Southern Cameroons leader furthered that “By now, our people must understand that I have no apologies for our involvement in the restoration struggle which we shall win.”

President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe also observed that “The enemy has tried all lies and failed. This lie too will fail. The truth and our quest for Buea are synonymous and will prevail.”

Reading from the same script with the leader, Vice President Dabney Yerima has been quoted as saying that French Cameroun troops occupying Ambazonia will face armed resistance that will force them to leave the country.

The Southern Cameroons exiled second-in-command hinted that the Amba Bonds Project will provide the necessary financial resources needed to counter French Cameroun violence with violence. “French Cameroun continued presence in the Ambazonia territory is generating an armed resistance which is exacting losses among the French Cameroun army, and will consequently force them to leave,” said Dabney Yerima on Friday.

Making reference to an audio message aired recently calling on Ambazonia Restoration Forces to kidnap Southern Cameroonians going home for Christmas, Vice President Dabney Yerima appealed to the Southern Cameroons Self Defense Forces to work according to directives from the Ambazonia Interim Government and not indulged into actions that will tarnish their hard earned reputation.

Analysts speaking to Cameroon Concord News Group publications have hinted that the parliamentary and municipal elections called by French Cameroun’s leader Paul Biya may be seeking to test the will of the Ambazonia Interim Government. The Yaoundé regime has also propped up armed militias to create strife and gain foothold in Southern Cameroons.

Comrade Dabney Yerima made it abundantly clear during last week’s cabinet briefing that the French Cameroun occupying forces cannot occupy a piece of land in the Federal Republic of Ambazonia without having agents in the territory because it would be difficult for them to live in a completely hostile environment.

Vice President Dabney Yerima explained that the activities of some Southern Cameroons so-called front line leaders and groups have provided the French Cameroun regime an excuse to continue to massacre Southern Cameroonians.

“There is an urgent need for Southern Cameroonians both in the diaspora and in Ground Zero to move away from there too many dissident Amba groups because they provide the Biya Francophone government with the pretext to implement their plan, which was handed to them by the French government in 1961 in Foumban” Dabney Yerima said.

“We shall never accept any special status propositions under any circumstances,” Vice President Yerima concluded.

The deputy leader of the Ambazonia Interim Government, Dabney Yerima has warned French Cameroun political elites executing the genocidal campaign in Southern Cameroons that their tyrannical regime in Yaoundé is not going to last any much longer.

Dabney Yerima in a telephone conversation with our chief European correspondent Asu Isong pointed out that the determination and the willpower of justice-seeking Ambazonians will eventually prevail.

The comments from the exiled Southern Cameroons leader came after French Cameroun head of state Paul Biya told the world in the French capital, Paris that the France-Afrique policy of assimilation in Southern Cameroons has failed woefully.

Yaoundé has however continued its three years-long brutal crackdown on Southern Cameroonians by ordering the killing of thousands of innocent civilians on allegations of terrorism.

The United Nations has blatantly refused to condemn the atrocities committed by the French Cameroun military. The world body has opted for a kind of deliberate silence on the crisis. Scores of Southern Cameroons young men are being tortured and forced to take responsibility for crimes they never committed.

The United States government has voiced concern about the fate of Southern Cameroons civilian population including detainees who are being executed on a daily basis.

The Biya Francophone regime has maintained a heavy-handed crackdown on the people of Ambazonia. The French government and the Buhari administration in the Federal Republic of Nigeria have been helping French Cameroun in the crackdown. So far, some 20,000 Southern Cameroonians have been killed and more than three thousand others are in French Cameroun jails and detention centers.

A top Ground Zero commander in the Manyu County says only the people of Southern Cameroons are entitled to make a decision about their new country and determine the fate of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia.

Speaking after the recent attack on the Mamfe Gendarmerie post located at Egbekaw towards the Satom Bridge, the commander added that statements made by the French Cameroun head of state in Paris would play a vital role in the struggle in the weeks ahead.

He emphasized that the Ambazonia diaspora in charge of supplying Southern Cameroons Self Defense Forces with modern warfare equipment should also focus its work on uniting with other restoration groups under the guidance of the Ambazonia Interim Government.

The commander of the Manyu Ghost Warriors noted that things are slowly but surely returning to normal life in Southern Cameroons due to neglect and failure on the part of the Southern Cameroons diaspora.

Cameroon government forces loyal to the regime in Yaoundé withdrew from their isolated positions at the banks of the Manyu River exposed to Ambazonia Restoration Forces attacks. The troops including elements of the French Cameroun gendarmerie have now regroup in stronger places in Mamfe town after the very deadly attack from the Manyu Ghost Warriors.

The Ambazonia Interim Government has warned about the significant deterioration of human rights in Southern Cameroons, stating that the absent of international pressure on the Biya Francophone administration has emboldened the French Cameroun ruling CPDM crime syndicate not to shy away from its heavy-handed genocidal campaign and crackdown on Southern Cameroonians.

Vice President Dabney Yerima who is expected to begin a world tour aimed at mobilizing Southern Cameroonians from all the nooks and crannies of the planet said yesterday that the Federal Republic of Ambazonia is now clearly sliding in a new and very dangerous direction.

Comrade Dabney Yerima observed during this week’s briefing on the state of the Southern Cameroons revolution that the French Cameroun military was demonstrating a fairly weak level of restraint with the sole intention of deceiving the international community.

The Ambazonia second-in-command appealed to the United States and Britain to wield their influence on the French government of Emmanuel Macron and stop the killing of hundreds of Southern Cameroons civilians.

Pro Yaoundé human rights groups have also acknowledged that the situation in Southern Cameroons has deteriorated and there are renewed reports of torture in detention and military courts in Douala and Yaounde are now trying Southern Cameroons civilians.

Dabney Yerima also said that the Ambazonia Interim Government was seriously worried about the health of Southern Cameroons imprisoned leaders. Recently, alarming signals have multiplied regarding calls for unity within the Southern Cameroons diaspora.

The death of the notorious former Buea City Council Mayor, Patrick Ekema, has thrown his entire family into utter confusion.

The late mayor, who was viewed by his political peers of the ruling crime syndicate as a bull in a china shop, has left a pretty mess behind following his sudden death due to a massive heart attack that occurred in his girlfriend’s home in the Cameroon port city of Douala.

While trying to escape to the United States, Mayor Ekema had produced a fake divorce certificate that proved that he had divorced his wife, Katherine Ekema, who is currently living in Minnesota, U.S., with their five children.

In the same vein, he had also manufactured a brand new marriage certificate indicating he had officially gotten married to his girlfriend in Douala.

This complicated situation has generated a brand new conflict in the family as the girlfriend is also laying claim to the late mayor’s property.

While many members of the Ekema family who did not really love the late mayor are rooting for Katherine, a small group that had an axe to grind with Katherine is surreptitiously engineering a strategy that will give Ekema’s girlfriend a portion of his ill-gotten wealth, a family source in Buea which opted for anonymity said during a WhatsApp call with the Cameroon Concord News Group Chairman, Soter Tarh Agbaw-Ebai today.

The source said that though Ekema was rough on the edges, he was loved by some of his family members who were benefitted from his largesse. He added that Ekema was indeed a lightning rod for controversy within the family and his brash approach to life was responsible for many conflicts within the family.

The Buea-based source also added that Katherine had been talking to many people back home, especially to members of the ruling CPDM who, she holds, might help her to solve her thorny traveling issues.

The source also posited that some CPDM members who saw Patrick Ekema as a potential rival are celebrating his demise, adding that many of them did not really see Mr. Ekema as a true and refined politician.

He stressed that his political enemy saw him as a fish out of water and most of they held that he lacked the political finesse to address even the smallest political issues.

Meanwhile, in Minnesota, the financial noose around Katherine’s neck is tightening. Patrick Ekema’s death simply implies that Katherine’s ATM is completely out of service.

The children, especially those in the community college, have to pay next semester’s fees and the financial taps in Cameroon have been turned off following the death of the former mayor.

A Cameroon Concord News Group’s source in Minnesota has indicated that the tension is mounting and that there is evidence that Katherine is in a pretty financial mess.

“The money is not flowing as before and the children have to go to school. Katherine did not have a source of income prior to her husband’s death and his demise had thrown her financial plan into a tailspin,” the source said.

“It is obvious that she will not be traveling back home and the news that there is a divorce certificate has left her brokenhearted and distraught,” our source added.

“With no papers, she is grounded and might be in this state for a long time. Someone close to her has been insinuating that she has not completed her lawyer’s fees and her lawyer had asked for some money before her husband passed away,” the source said.

With the wind of poverty and hard times blowing in Katherine’s direction, it is obvious she will soon be looking for a job.

Our source in Minnesota has also said that Ekema’s children are completely at a loss. They cannot believe that the man who provided for them has gone for good and, above all, with their ATM.

The days ahead are not promising for the Ekema family and as the days go by, the apprehension and confusion which are constant visitors at the Ekema apartment in Minnesota will take up residence in that  little apartment.

American welfare is designed for citizens and not for people claiming to be running away from persecution, the source said.

Our source in Minnesota has also insinuated that the Ekema family is mulling the possibility of moving to Canada where they believe the asylum situation is easier and social welfare  is available to all, including people seeking asylum.

A woman wanted to import kilograms of rotten cow-skin meat into Germany, but was stopped by customs officers. It was a delicacy from Cameroon, she said according to a press release. The customs officials noticed the smell already from a distance. At the Düsseldorf airport, customs officers caught the woman with a rotten cowhide, a smoked cow-skin meat and the Cameroonian traveler spoke of a “delicacy”.

Even from a distance the officers at Düsseldorf airport had noticed an unpleasant smell. The woman had arrived from Cameroon via England. While checking her luggage the customs officers came across two plastic bags containing seven kilos of cowhide, a smoked cow-skin meat. The meat had stunk and was covered with maggots.

The woman had stated that her family wanted to eat the meat, which was “beautifully soft”. This was not the case, it was rather a violation of veterinary law and the city of Düsseldorf would therefore destroy the meat, according to the main customs office. The woman had to bear the costs.
