Houston, Texas – One of the most pressing challenges Africa faces today is migration, particularly from conflict zones such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), the Cameroons, the Sahel region, Sudan, and Ethiopia. The exodus of African migrants—many of whom risk their lives on perilous journeys to Europe or the United States through the Mexico route—is not just a matter of seeking greener pastures. It is a direct consequence of governance failures, systemic corruption, and political persecution.President Trump frequently highlighted Congolese migrants during his campaigns, framing them as a major issue. However, he never addressed the root cause…
Yaounde – In a desperate bid to derail the just and legitimate struggle of the Ambazonian people, CRTV (Cameroon’s State-owned Radio and Television) has once again resorted to its trademark weapon of deceit: a propaganda charade featuring faceless and nameless individuals purportedly denouncing the Ambazonian Restoration Forces (ARF). This orchestrated circus, paraded under the program “Cameroon Crumbling,” or is it (Cameroon Calling?), is nothing more than a pitiful attempt to rewrite the narrative of the Southern Cameroons struggle for liberation.CRTV, the mouthpiece of a crumbling regime in Yaoundé, seeks to exploit the vulnerabilities of the Ambazonian people by airing anonymous…
Houston – It is both disheartening and revolting to have witnessed so-called Anglophone chiefs gathered in Yaoundé on January 27, to spearhead the endorsement of Paul Biya for yet another term in office. In doing so, they showcase a level of moral bankruptcy and self-serving cowardice that insults the very people they claim to represent. These chiefs—displaced from their ancestral lands by the same regime they now glorify—have chosen to ignore the cries of their communities, trading dignity for fleeting favors from a dictator’s table.For over eight years, Paul Biya has presided over the destruction of Ambazonia, a region that…
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,…
