The United Nations including Britain and France have not taken any bold steps to stop the genocide currently unfolding in Southern Cameroons and to put an end to the Biya Francophone military aggression against innocent Ambazonian civilians, says a traditional ruler who hails from the Akwaya Sub Constituency in the Manyu County, adding that as long as the Yaounde regime enjoys the full support of the UN, the AU and France it will continue its war on the impoverished people of Southern Cameroons.

Speaking to our London Bureau Chief, Chi Prudence Asong, the Akwaya Royal whose identity we are withholding for security reasons observed that “The President Trump administration and some British MPs in the House of Commons have started talking about the killings of our people but what we Southern Cameroonians need now is a referendum to determine our future.”

The chartered member of the so-called Manyu Chiefs Conference further stated that “I don’t think the Cameroun government military campaign in Southern Cameroons will stop or even reduce with President Biya still in power. The abrupt end of the Mimi Mefo case in Douala is an indication that Yaounde is sick and tired of given itself a bad name.”

The Biya regime launched a devastating military campaign against the English speaking people in Southern Cameroons with the aim of crushing the Ambazonian revolution. The Biya war has claimed the lives of around 4000 Ambazonians and some 1500 Cameroon government troops.

Many governments have called on the CPDM regime to hold an inclusive dialogue with the leadership of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia but the 85 year old dictator has refused to comply.

The United States condemns, in the strongest possible terms, the November 5 kidnapping of students and staff from the Presbyterian Secondary School of Nkwen near Bamenda, Cameroon. We call for the immediate and safe return of these students and staff to their families.

The United States expresses grave concern over the burgeoning Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon’s Northwest and Southwest regions. We urge an immediate halt to the indiscriminate targeting of civilians and burning of houses by Cameroonian government forces and to attacks perpetrated by both Anglophone separatists against security forces and civilians.

The systematic intimidation based on ethnic and religious affiliation, including in Yaoundé and Douala, must stop. In memory of American missionary Charles Wesco and all others who have lost their lives in the Anglophone Crisis, we urge all sides to end the violence and enter into broad-based reconciliatory dialogue without preconditions.

The number of refugees fleeing violence in Cameroon and seeking shelter in Nigeria exceeded 30,000, the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said in a statement on Friday.

“The number of Cameroonian refugees fleeing violence and seeking refuge in Nigeria crossed the 30,000 mark this week. Refugees fleeing the South-West and North-West Regions of Cameroon have been arriving since September 2017. Almost 600 arrived in refugee settlements in the last two weeks,” the statement read.

UNHCR stressed that an overwhelming majority of these refugees were women and children.

Rights groups registered almost 400 civilian deaths in Cameroon last year due to the escalation of the conflict between separatists and the government, the statement read.

According to UNHCR, the agency together with the Nigerian government monitor the situation at the border areas inside Nigeria.

Cameroon has been facing a separatism crisis in the country since last year. On October 1, 2017, activists from Cameroon’s English-speaking regions proclaimed their independence from the country’s French-speaking areas which resulted in violent protests. The declaration came on the anniversary of South Cameroon’s independence from Britain in 1961.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he was unaware of any corruption linked to a deal to buy German submarines, after police recommended charging his lawyer in the investigation.

“As you know, there are no claims as to my involvement,” Netanyahu said late Saturday in his first comments on the issue since police issued their findings in the long-running investigation last week.

“Which is not a minute thing since people don’t hesitate to blame me with the most absurd claims.”

Asked about the alleged offences committed by his relative and family lawyer David Shimron, Netanyahu said: “You know I didn’t know.”

“Secondly, I suggest to wait until the end of the procedures and not rush to make a judgement,” he said before boarding a plane for Paris, where he will join world leaders in marking the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.

Police said Thursday there was evidence to charge Shimron and others with bribery in connection with negotiations for Israel’s purchase of submarines and other vessels from German industrial giant ThyssenKrupp.

The investigation into the deals reportedly worth $2 billion is one of several cases that have put Netanyahu’s long tenure in office under the spotlight.

Besides Shimron, police said the former chief of Netanyahu’s office, David Sharan, is also suspected of bribery, as is the former head of the navy, Eliezer Marom.

Two other navy ex-generals were named as being suspected of similar offences, as was a former minister, Eliezer Zandberg.

Netanyahu was questioned as a witness and not a suspect in the case.

The police’s findings will now be handed over to the attorney general, who will decide whether the suspects should be charged.

Israeli opposition politicians have questioned how Netanyahu could be unaware of the alleged corruption and called for a commission of inquiry.

In February, police recommended Netanyahu be indicted in two other graft probes, though the attorney general has yet to decide whether to do so.

Allegations against Netanyahu include seeking a secret deal with the publisher of Israel’s top-selling newspaper Yediot Aharonot to ensure positive coverage in return for pushing forward a law that would have limited the circulation of a rival.

Another case involves suspicions that the prime minister and his family received luxury gifts from wealthy individuals in exchange for financial or personal favours.

Netanyahu denies all the allegations, calling them a bid by his political enemies to force him from office.

US President Donald Trump has reportedly reached consensus with his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron, on the need for more European military spending despite an earlier Trump tweet that had slammed Macron’s recent call for a European army without reliance on the US as “very insulting.”

“We had a great discussion and we are aligned,” French presidential Elysee place quoted Trump as saying on Saturday following a meeting there with his host Macron during which the two discussed trade, defense, Syria as well as the persisting controversy over last month’s murder in Istanbul of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

“We want a strong Europe, it’s very important to us, and whichever way we can do it the best and more efficient would be something we both want,” Trump added after the meeting which was held a day before commemoration events in France to mark the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.

“We want to help Europe but it has to be fair. Right now the burden sharing has been largely on the United States,” the US president further emphasized.

This is while the French president also echoed such sentiments, insisting that he wanted Europe to bear a greater share of the defense costs within the US-led NATO military alliance, a point Macron has repeatedly made since taking office, together with his ambitions to establish Europe’s own military capability.

“That’s why I do believe my proposals for European defense are totally consistent with that,” Macron further underlined despite his recent remarks in which he appeared to regard the US as a threat.

Discussing the growing dangers from cyber-hacking, alleged meddling in electoral processes as well as Washington’s decision to withdraw from a key arms-control treaty with Russia, Macron emphasized during a radio interview last week that Europe needed to protect itself against China, Russia “and even the United States.”

Pointing to a need for a European army, he added: “Faced by Russia, which is on our borders and which has shown that it can be threatening… we need to have a Europe that can better defend itself by itself, without depending solely on the United States.”

Trump then slammed Macron’s remarks in a tweet message just prior to landing in Paris, stating: “Very insulting, but perhaps Europe should first pay its fair share of NATO, which the US subsidizes greatly.”

However, the Elysee described the harsh exchange of remarks by Macron and Trump as a “misunderstanding” caused by what it referred to as “exaggerated” US press reports. It further underlined that the confusion was cleared up during more than an hour of “substantial” and “very constructive” talks.

According to local press reports, while the talks between the two leaders covered trade and foreign policy issues, it was not clear if they also discussed European worries regarding Trump’s plans to abandon the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Agreement (INF), signed with Russia in 1986.

Macron insisted during his Europe 1 radio interview last week that the “main victim” of the US withdrawal from the INF treaty was Europe and its security.

Moreover, the French president — who also tried but failed to talk Trump out of withdrawing from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal earlier this year — has also raised concerns about the impact of the US-led sanctions on European companies doing business with Iran.

Meanwhile, the US president may also speak briefly with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Sunday, when the two are among the 70 world leaders set to gather at the Arc de Triomphe monument in Paris. Trump and Putin are further expected to hold formal talks later this month when both attend a G-20 summit in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

US President Donald Trump says he has signed an immigration order that will ban migrants, who cross the US border with Mexico illegally, from claiming asylum.

The immigration proclamation signed on Friday requires asylum seekers to make their claim at their point of entry to the US and bars immigrants from requesting asylum if they are caught crossing the border illegally.

“I just signed the proclamation on asylum, very important. People can come in but they have to come in through the ports of entry. And that to me, is a very important thing. We want people to come into our country, but they have to come into the country legally,” Trump told reporters before leaving the White House for a trip to Paris.

The order – issued by the Department of Homeland Security and the Justice Department – circumvented laws stating that anyone is eligible for asylum no matter how he or she enters the United States.

US government officials said the measures would be in effect for at least three months but could be extended, adding that they would take effect as of November 10 and would not affect people who are already in the country.

Immigration order calls illegal migrants ‘aliens’

The interim rule states that “if applied to a proclamation suspending the entry of aliens who cross the southern border unlawfully, would bar such aliens from eligibility for asylum and thereby channel inadmissible aliens to ports of entry, where they would be processed in a controlled, orderly and lawful manner.”

The rule adds that “aliens who enter prior to the effective date of an applicable proclamation will not be subject to the asylum eligibility bar unless they depart and reenter while the proclamation remains in effect.”

The regulation does not specify whom it applies to, but it comes at a time when caravans of Central American migrants – many fleeing violence, corruption and unemployment in their homeland – are slowly moving north on foot to cross the southern US border with Mexico.

Trump has called the Central American migrants a security threat, ordering the deployment of thousands of troops to the Mexican border to contain them.

More than 7,000 active duty troops have been deployed to the US states of Texas, Arizona, and California.

The US president has also suggested that the US troopers deployed to the southwest borders can shoot at migrants if the latter threw stones or rocks at them.

Trump has announced plans to revoke the right to citizenship for babies born to non-US citizens on American soil and erect massive “tent cities” to detain migrants.

Trump has made his hard-line stance on immigration an integral part of his presidency and has promised to build a wall along the US-Mexican border to curb the flow of migrants from Mexico and Central America.

A senior aide to the Acting Ambazonian leader Dr Ikome Sako says the extent of French Cameroun military aggression on Southern Cameroons has intensified ever since the 85 year old Paul Biya was sworn-in after a rigged presidential poll. The Southern Cameroons prominent figure who is currently on Ground Zero and sued for anonymity told Cameroon Concord News that Southern Cameroonians were going to continue with the struggle for independence.

The top adviser to the Southern Cameroons Interim Government revealed that the IG had gotten intelligence detailing preparations for greater attacks in Mamfe, Fundong, Bamenda, Menji and Wum and added that the ongoing French Cameroun aggression on Southern Cameroons is being primarily planned, monitored and supported by the French government of President Macron.

Recently, the Ambazonian Communication Secretary Chris Anu told the BBC that all fiendish plots against Southern Cameroons are hatched by the Biya Francophone regime in Yaounde. Chris Anu also reportedly told the VOA that French Cameroun is speaking of peace at the same time that it is directing the Southern Cameroons war.

Chris Anu held the French Cameroun political leadership as the main culprit behind the genocide and crimes in Ambazonia, stating that Yaounde is making use of its well-known policy of deception. Mr Anu also spoke of the sacrifices made by Southern Cameroons restoration forces underlining that they have thwarted French Cameroun’ bids to take full control over the Federal Republic of Ambazonia.

Elsewhere, Acting President Ikome Sako was quoted as saying that the people of Southern Cameroons are resisting an all-out aggression, and they are rightful to defend themselves as well as their freedom and independence. Dr Sako also called upon Southern Cameroonians particularly those in the Diaspora to keep the financial donations coming to My Trip To Buea, saying, “Aggressors will dominate us if we sit idle and do nothing. Our desire for freedom prevents us from bowing down to criminals.”

President Biya and his ruling Beti Ewondo gang launched a devastating military campaign against Southern Cameroons, with the aim of crushing the Anglophone resistance. The war according to a new report published by Cameroon Intelligence Report has so far claimed the lives of some 4000 Southern Cameroons civilians including 1500 French Cameroun soldiers.

The Biya war has also taken a heavy toll on Southern Cameroon’s infrastructure, destroying hospitals, schools, and roads. The UN has already said that a record 50,000 Southern Cameroonians have fled to neighboring Nigeria and are in dire need of food and medicine, including some 161,000 internal displaced persons threatened by severe hunger.
