Houston, Texas – As African leaders converge in Addis Ababa next month to elect the next chairperson of the African Union (AU), the stakes could not be higher. For decades, the AU has claimed to be the voice of the continent, yet its record is marred by chronic inaction, misplaced priorities, and an alarming tendency to align with foreign interests rather than address the urgent needs of its people. This is the moment to demand bold leadership capable of transforming the AU from a toothless institution into a genuine agent of change. Now is the time to redefine the AU’s…
Houston – Cameroon is teetering on the edge of a storm, its fragile unity fraying under the weight of internal conflicts and political neglect. While the war in Ambazonia continues to drain the country’s resources and morale, ominous signs of unrest are brewing in the Far North. Recent events in Maroua, where a large cache of military gear and bomb-making materials was confiscated, have set alarm bells ringing. Among the haul were automatic rifles, tear gas canisters, and chemicals suspected to be used for explosives—tools not of peace but of war.Authorities in Yaoundé were quick to dismiss the find, attributing…
Houston, TX – Paul Biya’s recent New Year address to the people of Cameroon was a glaring display of insensitivity and detachment, underscoring the tragic reality of a leader far removed from the struggles of his citizens. At 91 years old, with 42 years of autocratic rule behind him, Biya’s address not only defied reason but also added salt to the wounds of a nation in turmoil. His audacious call for Ambazonian fighters to lay down their arms and his tacit announcement of yet another bid for office reveals a leader who is both out of touch and wholly unconcerned…

Buea – For more than two decades, the ignoble Bernard Forju, the CPDM parliamentarian from Lebialem, has entrenched himself in the corridors of power, mastering the manipulative political maneuvers emblematic of the ruling regime. Yet, despite his long tenure in public office, Forju has achieved little beyond serving his own political interests and enabling a cycle of marginalization that pushed his constituents into picking up arms. His recent interview with Gaza Media, ostensibly meant to address the pressing issues affecting Lebialem, Fontem in particular, instead showcased his alarming penchant for dishonesty, deflection, and manipulation.This interview, conducted on December 15, was…
In a rare display of candor, Mbella Moki, a prominent figure within the Cameroonian political system, delivered a fiery tirade against cabinet members, almost breaking into tears as he passionately decried the systemic neglect that plagues the country. His impassioned speech, which enumerated a litany of failed promises—including the long-overdue bitumen plant, the Victoria Seaport, the Tiko Airport, and other essential infrastructure—was a moment of truth that many did not see coming from someone of his political leaning. For once, a voice within the corridors of power in Yaoundé echoed the frustrations of millions. Moki’s critique was poignant, timely, and,…

Idabato, Ndian – The tragic abduction of Roland Ewane, local government administrator of Idabato, in Ndian county, raises profound questions about the nature of governance, justice, and equity within LA Republique du Cameroun. While the kidnapping itself is a grievous act that underscores the volatility in the region, the Cameroonian government’s response—or lack thereof—reveals deeper systemic issues that continue to plague the relationship between the French-speaking majority and the annexed and marginalized Southern Cameroonian minority. The silence surrounding Ewane’s fate is a glaring reminder of why Ambazonia has resisted integration into La République du Cameroun (LRC) for decades.The anguish of…
Washington D.C – In a significant escalation of Western support for Ukraine, President Joe Biden has authorized the use of U.S.-supplied long-range missiles to target specific sites within Russian territory.

Biden, in particular, was cautious about providing…
Washington D.C – At this critical juncture in Ambazonia Struggle, unity isn’t just a strategy—it’s a lifeline. Former U.S. Under Secretary of State for Africa, Tibor Nagy, a voice attuned to the struggle in our land, has urged us to stand together.
