Southern Cameroons: Headless corpse discovered in Moliwe Village

Southern Cameroons: Headless corpse discovered in Moliwe Village 0

The beheaded body of a man has been discovered in the village of Moliwe on the outskirts of Limbe, Fako Division of the South West Region of Cameroon.

Passersby discovered the headless body of the man in the early hours of Monday, October 29, 2018, under unclear circumstances.

The man whose identities as at press Time emerged as Fonyuy Christopher was spotted dumped in a bush. How he died and the whereabouts of his head is what has left inhabitants of the village trapped in fear.

Narratives within the village sway in tandem with projection that the deceased might have been killed for ritual purposes since the head is nowhere to be found.

It is not known if the development is linked to the on-going crisis in the two English-speaking Regions of Cameroon. The situation becomes difficult to link with the crisis given that parts of the string of villages around Limbe have enjoyed some degree of calm since the crisis started.

Security officers who stormed the scene of the discovery same Monday have commenced probing into the gruesome act.

Murder of an American Missionary: French Cameroun’s cover up backfires

31, October 2018

Murder of an American Missionary: French Cameroun’s cover up backfires 0

A desperate attempt by the Government of French Cameroun to cover up its responsibility for the targeted murder of an American missionary, has backfired miserably with French Cameroun confessing to the commission of other crimes. Charles Trummann Wesco was killed by a French Cameroun military sniper hit-man in the Bamenda neighbourhood of Bambili, on Tuesday, 30 October 2018.

Cameroon Concord News Group recalls that French Cameroun as a state party to the Geneva Conventions 1948 had a mandatory obligation under the treaty, in declaring the war against the Federal Republic of Ambazonia, to respect its treaty obligations and the laws and customs of war. There is unimpeachable evidence that French Cameroun has targeted civilians and civilian targets for attacks in the prosecution of the war and genocide against Ambazonia and persons found within the territory of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia.  The targeted murder of Charles Trummann Wesco is one among a well coordinated campaign targeting America and American interests in French Cameroun, the Federal Republic of Ambazonia and the entire Gulf of Guinea.

Cameroon Concord News Group further recalls that when the Ambassador of the United States of America delivered his government’s position expressing concerns for the indiscriminate targeted of civilians and civilian targets by the soldiers of French Cameroun deployed to prosecute the genocide and exterminate the civilian population of Ambazonia, the government of French Cameroun organized and carried out an official campaign of incitement against Americans and US interests. This criminal campaign which was ongoing when this crime was committed was led by the Minister of External Relations of French Cameroun, Lejeunne Mbella Mbella,  the Minister Delegate in charge of Defense in the Presidency of the Republic of French Cameroun, Joseph Beti Assomo, the Minister of Communication Issa Tchiroma Bakary ( Josef Goebbels of French Cameroun genocidal campaign), Atanga Nji, the Al Capone criminal executioner of French Cameroun official slaughter of armless civilians, Gregoire Owona, the CRTV, Television ( Mille Colline) 4 and other satellite genocidal and hate crimes news outlets and networks,  the CPDM crime syndicate  and a plethora of genocide apologists on the pay of Paul Biya and French Cameroun. It comes as no surprise to Cameroon Concord News Group and keen observers, that the assassination of the American citizen, Charles Trummann Wesco occurred within the framework of the official policy of the government of French Cameroun defined and executed by soldiers deployed to prosecute a genocide of Ambazonia.

Pursuant to French Cameroun anti-American campaign, several American citizens were profiled, abducted and detained in French Cameroun’s military and paramilitary dungeons without complying with the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations (1963 article 36). Some US citizens or legal residents are feared to still being held in French Cameroun’s detention camps in furtherance of this official policy of French Cameroun. That an American cleric is targeted and killed by a French Cameroun sniper in the territory of Ambazonia where French Cameroun military have defined the enemy as civilians residing or found in the territory of Ambazonia comes as no surprise.  It is this policy of targeting civilians and civilian targets by French Cameroun terrorists which the American government through its ambassador publicly decried drawing retaliatory threats and incitement targeting US interests and citizens. Isa Tchiroma Bakary went as far as accusing the United States of supporting the self-defense forces of Ambazonia and that the United States caution against the targeting of civilian and civilian targets was a veiled attempt to procure the oil deposits and extensive natural resources within the territory of Ambazonia and the Gulf of Guinea. Cameroon Concord News Group is of the considered opinion that hateful rhetoric is not different from that espoused by Boko Haram and confederacy of crime profiteers operating from within the Centre of power in French Cameroun and Nigeria.  Issa Tchiroma is a key liaison operative within that expansive criminal network.

Cameroon Concord News Group invites the United States of America to take the opportunity of the sniper murder of its citizen and the official campaign of incitement against its citizens and interests in the Gulf of Guinea by French Cameroun to lead an international effort to intervene and conduct an independent investigation into all the crimes perpetrated by French Cameroun in Ambazonia.   Cameroon Concord News Group is concerned that French Cameroun has embarked on a criminal strategy to eradicate evidence pointing to its responsibility for the murder of Charles Trummann Wesco through the cold-blooded execution of the alleged Ambazonian militants it alleged committed the crimes.  The confessed extrajudicial execution of the alleged militants French Cameroun alleges committed the murder without allowing for thorough investigations and a fair judicial process unmistakably portray French Cameroun as a guilty criminal gang in a hurry to eradicate evidence of its criminal responsibility for the crimes, before the US officially decides to conduct its own independent investigation of the crime.  Cameroon Concord News Group recalls that the US through its State Department periodic country human rights reports and through its diplomatic mission in French Cameroon has decried extrajudicial executions in French Cameroon and called for the respect of French Cameroun’s international human rights treaty obligations.

The confessed execution of four individuals alleged to have committed the murder of Charles Trummann Wesco is a cover up through the commission of further murders, by execution. The confessed execution of these individuals without due process is an aggravation of the crime requiring urgent American and international attention.

Cameroon Concord News Group calls on the United States of America and the International Community, including the International Criminal Court to urgently open investigations into the crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes committed by French Cameroun and conjointly with Nigeria through the abductions and disappearances of hundreds and thousands of Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia civilians in the territory of Nigeria among whom are the President of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia His Excellency Sisiku Ayuk Tabe and members of the interim government of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia.

Nigeria: Death toll from attack on Islamic Movement supporters rises to 42

31, October 2018

Nigeria: Death toll from attack on Islamic Movement supporters rises to 42 0

The Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) says 42 of its members have been killed by Nigerian security forces during protests in the capital Abuja over the past two days.

IMN supporters have taken to the streets over the past two days to demand the government release their imprisoned leader Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky.

The number of fatalities caused by Nigerian fire previously stood at 25.

Nigerian army troops opened fire at protesters on the outskirts of Abuja on Monday. The police shot at marchers in the city center on Tuesday.

“The death toll of yesterday’s attack on our members has risen to seven as of now,” IMN spokesman Ibrahim Musa said Wednesday.

“They died as a result of the injuries they sustained yesterday. And the number of those killed on Monday at Maraba (an area on Abuja’s outskirts) has also risen to 35,” he added.

Nigeria’s crackdown on IMN followers began in December 2015, when the army attacked a religious ceremony in the city of Zaria in northern Nigeria. Nigerian forces later raided Zakzaky’s house and arrested him after killing those attempting to protect the prominent Muslim cleric.

A Federal High Court had ordered Zakzaky’s unconditional release in 2016, but the Nigerian government has so far refused to abide by the ruling.

A spokesman for the movement stated back in March that the government in Abuja was planning to indefinitely hold the cleric and his wife in custody.

Yaounde’s targeted killings: Here’s what you need to know about Charles Trumann Wesco

31, October 2018

Yaounde’s targeted killings: Here’s what you need to know about Charles Trumann Wesco 0

Charles Trumann Wesco was an American missionary who arrived in the West African nation of Cameroon on October 18, along with his wife and their eight children. They were stationed in Cameroon’s troubled north-western region, near the town of Bamenda. On October 30, local media reported that Wesco had died of bullet wounds to the head. The US State Department confirmed that a US citizen had died in Bamenda, Cameroon, although they did not use Wesco’s name, in an effort to protect his privacy.

Missionary groups, as well as local media in Cameroon and in Indiana, reported that Wesco was taken to a hospital in Bamenda, Cameroon on Tuesday, October 30 and died on the same day.

1. He Was on His Way to a Market When a Bullet Shattered His Car Window, Striking Him in the Head

Wesco had just arrived in northwestern Cameroon and was still in the process of settling in. On October 30, another missionary — Ben David Sinclair — drove Wesco and his wife Stephanie to the market in Bamenda so that they could load up on provisions. But along the way, a bullet shattered the car window, striking Charles Wesco in the head.

He was rushed to the hospital in Bamenda, but he did not survive.

2. It’s Not Yet Clear Who Shot Wesco, but His Death Comes Amid a Government Crackdown in the Restive Anglophone Region

There is no evidence to suggest that Wesco himself, a newcomer to Cameroon, was targeted for assassination. Wesco was shot near the city of Bamenda, in northwestern Cameroon, which has been plagued by violence and unrest due to conflicts between the national government and local groups. Northwestern Cameroon is one of the English-speaking regions in the country (most of Cameroon uses French as the official language). In recent months, Anglophone areas in the country have been demanding better access to schools and public services. Many have been calling for self-rule or a form of federalism.

Amnesty International reports that government security forces have burnt down villages in separatist areas and have “indiscriminately killed, arrested and tortured” dozens of people during military operations, displacing thousands of civilians. Amnesty also charges that armed separatists have attacked and sometimes brutally tortured and killed hundreds of soldiers amid the government crackdown on the area.

3. Wesco Was a Baptist Missionary from Mishawaka, Indiana

Wesco and his wife started planning their mission to Cameroon years ago. By 2016, the couple was well on their way to raising the funds they needed to leave their home in Indiana and travel to Cameroon.

By May of 2018, the Wescos had sold their home in Mishawaka and we getting ready to head to Cameroon.

Charles wrote that he had felt a calling to do missionary work since at least the age of 15. In 2014, he said,he decided that he wanted to go on a mission to somewhere in Africa. And by 2015, he narrowed his focus to Cameroon. He wrote, “During our survey trip in the Spring of 2015, the Lord deepened our love and burden for the people of Cameroon, who are so needy and so open to the Gospel of Jesus Christ!”

4. Wesco Had Extensive Training in Sacred Music & Said Music Helped Him in Missionary Work

Wesco’s grandfather owned a piano factory, which is where the young Charles Wesco first learned about music. He said that by age 12, he was learning the trade of piano tuning (he was taught by an old blind piano tuner employed by the factory). He’s continued to work as a piano tuner over the years and has used those skills to help support his family.

Wesco said that as a young man he also got “extensive training” in sacred music and learned to play several instruments beside the piano. He wrote that music was a valuable tool when doing missionary work.

5. Wesco’s Brother, Timothy, is a State Representative in Indiana

Timothy Wesco, Charles’s younger brother, is a Republican politician representing the 21st district of Indiana in the state House of Representatives.

Asked by local reporters about his brother’s death, Timothy said, “He loved the Lord. He loved people. The Lord giveth. The Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”

French Cameroon opposition continues protest against Biya win

31, October 2018

French Cameroon opposition continues protest against Biya win 0

The opposition Cameroon Renaissance Movement (CRM) party Monday pressed on with the agitation against President Paul Biya’s re-election, against a crackdown by the government.

After losing the October 7 presidential election, CRM candidate Maurice Kamto announced a “national resistance programme” –a weeklong protest to challenge the victory and vowed to sabotage President Biya’s swearing-in ceremony scheduled for early November.

Prof Kamto has refused to accept the poll outcome, insisting he won the vote whose official result show he emerged far second with 14.23 percent. President Biya was declared the winner with 71.28 percent vote.

CRM has called on Cameroonians to wear white T-shirts and trousers as a protest, a day before President Biya’s swearing-in ceremony.

The diaspora

They have also scheduled protest rallies in front of administrative offices nationwide and embassies in the diaspora on the day of the swearing-in.

Police on Sunday arrested scores of opposition supporters in the capital Yaoundé as they demonstrated against what they termed an electoral hold-up in the country.

CRM spokesman Olivier Bibou Nissack said “several peaceful” protesters were arrested on the precinct of Our Lady of Victories Cathedral in the centre of Yaoundé.

Many others had been arrested in the economic capital Douala, but later released on Saturday.

Public order

Territorial Administration minister Paul Atanga Nji said on Friday that Prof Kamto’s self-proclaimed victory declaration was “illegal and anti-constitutional”.

The minister said the electoral process was over and public manifestations have to respect the prescriptions of the law as the government “will not tolerate any disorder”.

“All attempts to disrupt public order will be handled with all firmness,” Mr Nji said.

“All those who will attempt to violate the laws of the republic will answer before the law courts and be rigorously treated by the same laws.”

October 7: Opposition Moves to Safe, Holy Ground for Anti-Biya Protests

October 7: Opposition Moves to Safe, Holy Ground for Anti-Biya Protests 0

Security forces in Cameroon have been cracking down on street rallies protesting the October 7 re-election of President Paul Biya. To avoid beatings and arrest, protesters have taken their message to safer, even holy grounds such as schools and churches.

Opposition protesters sang on Monday in front of the University of Yaounde in the capital of Cameroon.

The lyrics say that opposition leader Maurice Kamto won the October 7 presidential election and that longtime President Paul Biya should hand over power.

A massive deployment of police stopped the protesters from singing on the campus itself.

Twenty-six-year-old teacher Boniface Onana says they will continue demonstrating against Biya’s re-election.

He says Biya should know that the time he was ruling Cameroon with an iron fist, using divide and conquer tactics, is over. Onana says Cameroonians should know that a new nation with a new leader has been born and he will do everything possible to pass on the message.

Police say they detained four of the protesters and are investigating others who ran onto the university grounds disguised as students.

Opposition supporters are seeking safe areas to protest as Cameroon security forces have been cracking down on street rallies since the election.

Tens of protesters on Sunday entered the Our Lady of Victories Cathedral in Yaoundé, interrupting a service to sing that Biya should hand over power.

Sosthene Lipot is the information officer for Kamto’s Cameroon Renaissance Movement party. He says they took their protests to the university and the church because of the crackdown.

He says the military should know that Biya has not even won wars he declared on two fronts — against Boko Haram and against separatists fighting for the creation of an English-speaking state — yet he is sending his military to attack innocent people who are simply protesting for their rights.

Archbishop Jean Mbarga condemned the protesters who entered the church, calling it a desecration of a religious body.

He says the Yaoundé archdiocese is scandalized at the disrespect that some politicians have shown towards the church. He says the church is apolitical and should never be used for any political activity, reason why he totally condemns such acts that are instilling doubts in the minds of Christians as to the neutrality of the Catholic church.

The Roman Catholic church in Cameroon has issued conflicting comments on the presidential election. Mbarga on Sunday saluted Biya as the winner, while the head of the national Catholic bishops conference expressed suspicion at the official results.

Officials said Biya won the election with 71 percent of the vote. Kamto, his main challenger, received 14 percent.

Opposition parties accused Biya’s ruling Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM) party of massive electoral fraud.

Interim Government Condemns the Killing of an American Missionary by French Cameroun Soldiers

31, October 2018

Interim Government Condemns the Killing of an American Missionary by French Cameroun Soldiers 0

The Interim Government (IG) of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia hereby condemns in the strongest possible terms the summary execution of Mr. Charles Trumann Wesco, a Baptist missionary of American nationality, by French Cameroun soldiers today, October 30th 2018, in the locality of Bambui, few kilometers from the town of Bamenda in the Northern Zone of Ambazonia.

The IG is reliably informed that Mr. Charles Wesco, a humanitarian and missionary was shot while in his car for unclear reasons. Mr. Charles Trumann Wesco succumbed to his wounds in the Bamenda Regional Hospital. Mr Wesco, who is the older brother of the US Representative from Indiana, Timothy Wesco, is survived by a wife, Stephanie Wesco, and 8 children.

The execution of Mr. Wesco reiterates the fact that, the ongoing genocide in Ambazonia is real and a testimony to the carnage Mr. Biya, President of French Cameroun and his regime have imposed on the peace-loving people of Ambazonia. The IG hereby reminds the US Government that soldiers of French Cameroun have no value for human life and that their citizen has been executed in the same manner that Ambazonians are being killed daily.

Soldiers from French Cameroun had early this year, on July 14 2018, killed a priest, Rev Father Alexander Sob and a Ghanaian Pastor, Isaac Attoh, under similar circumstances. The Interim Government is appealing to the US Government to act now and stop Mr. Biya and his brutal army from continuing their genocide by tabling the matter at the UN Security Council.

The IG is also assuring Mr. Biya and his military junta that they shall face the International Criminal Court for the gruesome atrocities committed against the peaceful people of Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia, as well as citizens of other countries.

The IG calls on Southern Cameroonians in the US and other countries to light candles this evening in memory of the great American who sacrificed his life to serve as a missionary in Ambazonia and West Africa. We express our heartfelt condolences to the Wesco family, the US Embassy in the capital of French Cameroun, Yaounde, and pledge to provide them with our support as they investigate this gruesome assassination.

Yours Sincerely

Chris Anu

US: Trump to push end to birthright citizenship

30, October 2018

US: Trump to push end to birthright citizenship 0

President Donald Trump said he will seek to limit the right of citizenship for certain children born in the United States in a new bid to dramatically reshape immigration policies that appeared to run afoul of the US Constitution.

Seeking to shore up support for Republicans ahead of the congressional elections next week, Trump told the Axios news website he would try to end the right of citizenship for US-born children of non-citizens and illegal immigrants.

The president said in an interview published on Tuesday that he would make the move through an executive order, likely prompting a legal fight.

The right of citizenship is granted to US-born children under the 14th Amendment of the Constitution, which cannot be changed by the president.

It was unclear what specific action he would pursue, and Trump gave no details. Representatives for the White House did not respond to a request for comment.

“This is blatantly unconstitutional,” Omar Jadwat, head of the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project told Reuters. “The president obviously cannot overturn the Constitution by executive order. The notion that he would even try is absurd.”

Changing an amendment in the Constitution would require the support of two-thirds of the US House of Representatives and the Senate and the backing of three-fourths of US state legislatures at a constitutional convention.

But Trump said he has talked to his legal counsel and was advised he could enact the change on his own. Asked about the dispute over such presidential powers, Trump said stood by his comments.

Sponsored

“It’s in the process. It’ll happen,” he told Axios in the interview, which will air in full on the HBO pay cable channel on Sunday.

Some conservatives have long pushed for an end to the guarantee of birthright citizenship, a view Trump echoed.

“It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous. And it has to end,” Trump told Axios.

Gearing up for fight

Trump, whose hard-line immigration stance helped him win the White House, has seized on the issue in recent weeks in the run-up to the Nov. 6 vote that has Americans sharply divided and grappling with race and national identity.

His latest comments also come after the deadliest attack on Jews in US history on Saturday and a series of bombs sent to top Democrats and other Trump critics last week.

The 14th Amendment allows for “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

A legal challenge would prompt the nation’s courts to weigh in on what would be one of the most sweeping moves of the Trump administration. It has already targeted immigration through a travel ban from several Muslim-majority countries, child-parent separations for migrants, refugee policies and other actions.

In 1898, the US Supreme Court reaffirmed the right of citizenship to children born to legal permanent residents. But conservatives say it should not apply to everyone, including immigrants in the country illegally or those with temporary legal status, Axios reported.

Immigrant advocacy organizations are gearing up for a legal fight against any move to end birthright citizenship, said Greisa Martinez Rosas, deputy director of United We Dream, a national immigrant youth group.

Over 5,200 US troops heading to Mexico border

But she noted that the Trump administration has managed to notch legal victories for its immigration policies. “He has done a lot of things we thought he was unable to do,” she said.

“We know that it’s unconstitutional but what I think in this moment what is most important is for people to organize and vote.”

Democrats and other critics have condemned the president’s rhetoric on immigration as inflammatory, urging Trump to tone down his language and calling on voters to use the elections as a way to reject such policies.

US Senator Chris Coons, a Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told MSNBC that Trump “was driving a false narrative on immigration” in many ways to stoke fear and turn it into an election issue.

On Monday, the administration moved to send more than 5,200 troops to help secure the border with Mexico as a caravan of Central American migrants, mostly on foot, makes its way there, although it is unclear how many would arrive at the border or when.

American missionary killed in Bambui as Yaounde pushes to suck the US into Ambazonia war 0

An American missionary who arrived Cameroon on the 18th of October 2018 with his wife and 8 children has been killed by forces loyal to the Biya Francophone regime. Charles Trumann Wesco was shot in Bambui some few kilometers from Bamenda the chief city in the Northern zone.

Cameroon Concord News sources revealed that the late Charles Truman did receive emergency treatment at Bambui and was referred to the Bamenda Regional Hospital but died from injuries sustained from gun shots aimed at him.

A District Medical Officer reportedly called for an ambulance from Bamenda this morning to transport a female student shot in the stomach by Cameroon government forces in Bambui but the rescue team were refused passage around Mile 6 Nkwen by Biya regime soldiers.

Our senior correspondent in Bamenda said there were civilian casualties in Bambili that could not be reached by the emergency team. We understand intense fighting is going on in Bambui and Bambili involving Ambazonian Restoration forces and Cameroon government troops.

Southern Cameroons Genocide: Biya regime erasing evidence

30, October 2018

Southern Cameroons Genocide: Biya regime erasing evidence 0

The Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime has been destroying villages in Southern Cameroons and the physical evidence of its military atrocities committed against Southern Cameroonians. Cameroon Intelligence Report has gotten reliable information that Cameroon government troops were destroying villages in Menchum, Manyu, Ngoketunjia, Kupe Muanenguba and Donga-Mantung Counties where thousands of Ambazonian lived before either being killed or fleeing to Nigeria amid deadly violence in Southern Cameroons.

Military bulldozers donated to the Cameroon army by France and the United States of America are being used to bury Southern Cameroons civilians burnt to death by French Cameroun soldiers. The French government of President Emmanuel Macron with the support of diplomats from French speaking African nations has prevented the United Nations from sending an independent fact-finding mission to Southern Cameroons.

The Southern Cameroons Interim government headed by Dr Ikome Sako released a report recently and called for French Cameroun political and military leaders to stand trial for genocide against Ambazonians. The regime in Yaounde informed national and international public opinion that the deployment of military caterpillars and bulldozers were to assist the army access the remote areas in its war against separatists. But a well placed source in the nation’s capital hinted Cameroon Intelligence Report that the aim is to destroy the physical evidence that could be used in potential trials at the International Criminal Court.

More than 4000 Southern Cameroonians have been killed and several hundred injured, arbitrarily arrested, or raped by Francophone soldiers and militia created by the so-called Minister of Territorial Administration, Paul Atanga Nji.

The United Nations has estimated that at least 161,000 Southern Cameroonians have been internally displaced ever since the 85 year old President Biya declared war on the English speaking communities.  Human rights lawyers in Buea and Bamenda have also been questioning the whereabouts of the dead bodies of innocent Southern Cameroonians killed by French Cameroun troops.

Meanwhile, a senior adviser to Acting President Ikome Sako told our London bureau chief that Biya regime’s destruction of evidence won’t help it avoid accountability as there is other evidence that crimes occurred and were systemic.
