The Vice President of the Ambazonia Interim Government has said that the Biya French Cameroun regime is the promoter and justifier of genocide throughout Southern Cameroons territory.

Dabney Yerima made the comment during a press briefing in Holland on Monday observing that Ambazonians as victims of the Biya imposed war, cannot sit together with its perpetrators.

The exiled Southern Cameroons leader was reacting to a statement from Yaoundé that the Biya Francophone regime was already implementing the so-called special status for the people of Southern Cameroons.

Comrade Dabney Yerima furthered that the leader of the Ambazonia resistance President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe wants no Southern Cameroonian citizen to be a victim of La Republique du Cameroun’s terror acts. “Every Southern Cameroonian has to fight French Cameroun agents as one, if we remain separate, we will continue to be victims of their occupying military.”

The Biya Francophone regime regularly attributes Ambazonia attacks against the Francophone dominated Cameroon government army to suspected separatists.

“The defense and security forces are currently on diligent hunt to track down this gang of terrorists, present them to the competent judicial authorities to answer to their barbaric acts,” the prefect said in a statement made public and stressed that it was necessary for the population to collaborate with security forces to “fish out this band of criminals.”

There has been no comment from separatist leaders.

The Ambazonia Interim Government vowed that Yaoundé’s recent massacre of Southern Cameroons Self Defense commanders and their family members in both the Northern and Southern Zones will be met with a matching response.

Dr Patrick Ayuk, a special adviser to Vice President Dabney Yerima, made the comments in an interview with Cameroon Concord News on Thursday in London.

The Southern Cameroons academic stated that “what is currently going on in the rural areas of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia is a massive crime against innocent people, against humanity, against all the people of Southern Cameroons, and, therefore, this requires that there be retaliation, which is to the level of this massacre.”

Dr Patrick Ayuk’s remark came as the Ambazonia Interim Government is preparing to hold an international conference to evaluate the state of the Southern Cameroons revolution.

The Cameroon government military has assassinated several high-ranking Amba commanders loyal to the Ambazonia Interim Government in a series of targeted strikes throughout Southern Cameroons.

Dr Patrick Ayuk warned that all Southern Cameroons restoration groups were to join each other in delivering the response to French Cameroun and it is expected to be a very strong, comprehensive and united retaliation.

He noted that the Biya French Cameroun regime was already bracing itself for the reprisal that will intensify on October 1.

Asked if there were any room for negotiation with the occupying French Cameroun regime towards a resolution of the situation in Ground Zero, Dr Patrick Ayuk said, “Absolutely not…since the Francophone military and its backers have continued this war and have closed all the phone lines in the face of mediators such as Archbishop Mbarga and Archbishop Andrew Nkea.”

The Vice President of the Ambazonia Interim Government Comrade Dabney Yerima said on Tuesday that the arrogant 90-year-old President Paul Biya of French Cameroun now has to accept the complete and total independence of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia with its resistance mentality.

Speaking to a group of Ground Zero commanders late on Tuesday, the exiled Southern Cameroons leader pointed out that “so long as Ambazonia Self Defense Forces remain resolute on resistance and independence, the entire Federal Republic of Ambazonia shall be liberated.”

Yerima warned that Southern Cameroonians should focus on the liberation struggle and ignore the happenings and current going-on in Yaoundé.  He furthered that the French Cameroun enemy seeks to take advantage of the division in the Southern Cameroons diaspora by using some pro La Republique agents to sabotage the Ambazonia Interim Government.

Dabney Yerima noted that the much publicized Babanki kidnapping of some 50 Southern Cameroons women was teleguided from Yaoundé.

He added that the French Cameroun enemy has been irked by its failure since 2016 and Ambazonia’s refusal to accept the French Cameroun arrogance known popularly as “Special Status.”

Amba fighters, Vice President Yerima went on, have always proved that they have no fear of La Republique threats and are ready to carry out missions deep inside French Cameroun.
