Cameroon: PRESS STATEMENT OF THE AMBAZONIA GOVERNING COUNCIL ON THE RECENT ARRESTS AND ABDUCTIONS IN THE SOUTHERN CAMEROONS BY THE COLONIAL GOVERNMENT IN YAOUNDE

21 January 2017

News from the two Cameroons has confirmed that within the last three days the colonial regime in Yaoundé has again carried out more abductions, illegal arrests and kidnappings of peaceful Southern Cameroonians a.k.a Ambazonians and shut down social media and the internet facilities throughout our territory. The Cameroon Anglophoen Civil Society Consortium (CACSC) and the Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC) have also been banned. Prominent amongst those kidnapped and ferried to Yaoundé in La Republique du Cameroun are Barrister Nkongho Agbor Balla, President of the CACSC, Dr. Fontem Neba, Secretary General of the CACSC, Dr. Michael Boyo, Messrs. Kah Afumbon & Mancho BBC. The Ambazonia Governing Council [AGC] expresses its utter indignation at these intimidating and frantic actions of the colonial regime and vehemently condemns the arrests and abductions. The AGC calls for the immediate and unconditional release of all those arrested and an also to put an immediate stop to the use of these Nazi tactics adopted to annihilate the independent but conquered Ambazonia people.

Consequently, the Governing Council calls on Southern Cameroonians/Ambazonians to remain calm, resolute and steadfast with overriding confidence and faith. It urges all Ambazonians to be more than ever focused on the one and single motive of achieving the complete liberation of their homeland. Ambazonia will inevitably be free. Such desperate and frustrating moves orchestrated by the colonial/occupier regime of La Republique du Cameroun are only proofs of the last kicks of a dying horse. History has recorded same with other past oppressive regimes.
