A local leader of the Southern Cameroons Restoration Forces charged with the liberation of the Manyu County has highlighted the failure of the Biya Francophone regime and its allies deep within the Buhari administration in the Federal Republic of Nigeria in their push to regain control of the strategic border town of Ekok, observing that the enemies of the Ambazonian people have faced defeat in Eyumojock and Akwaya sub constituencies.

The captain of the Manyu Odeshi Warriors made the remarks on Saturday in a statement issued on the state of the fighting raging in the hinterlands of the Manyu County particularly in the Etoko-Kendem border and in the Ekok- Otu corridor.  The Ambazonian freedom fighter also pointed out that the Southern Cameroons border with Nigeria has turned into a field of defeats for Ambazonian enemies adding, “We ask the Almighty God to take revenge on Biya and Buhari and their acolytes for their crimes and treachery against the Federal Republic of Ambazonia and its powerful Interim Government.”

Cameroon Intelligence Report understands the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime and the Muhammadu Buhari Fulani crime syndicate in Abuja are two regimes that excelled each other in hypocrisy and treachery in order to prove their complaisance to the French government headed by Emmanuel Macron.

The Ambazonia Restoration Force has been defending Southern Cameroons women and children including the Ambazonian nation against a France-French Cameroun-led coalition of invaders.

The coalition, which features several soldiers from France and the Republic of Chad, began the campaign last year, killing more than two thousand Southern Cameroonians. Military planes donated by the United States government to combat the Nigerian Islamic sect, Boko Haram now provides aerial intelligence to the French Cameroun army, while helping out the invading forces.

Intelligence services of the Interim Government of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia have confirmed that bullets and guns used by the French Cameroun army in its genocidal campaign in Southern Cameroons that has claimed the lives of some 2000 people had been supplied by France. The Ambazonian security agents briefed Acting President Samuel Ikome Sako late on Sunday the 19^th of August 2018 in the US.

Cameroon Intelligence Report gathered that the Ambazonian leader was provided details including the numbers on the weapon confiscated by restoration forces. Acting President Sako is expected to hold his first international press conference today in Washington DC.  The Francophone dominated army has continued its onslaught in Southern Cameroons sparking outrage from international human rights groups and UN officials.

Late last week, Southern Cameroons Restoration Forces hinted our chief intelligence officer in Buea that guns and bullets recovered from the Cameroon government army showed that it was likely manufactured in France. Yaoundé has demonstrated to the international community that its military action in Southern Cameroons is legitimate.

The French government of President Emmanuel Macron has pushed the world to turn a blind eye on the atrocities being committed by French Cameroun soldiers in Southern Cameroons.  Recent comments by the Minister of Territorial Administration, Paul Atanga Nji have highlighted the issue of French complicity in the deaths of thousands of Southern Cameroonians.

Recently, hundreds of Ambazonians in Canada took to the streets to condemn the killings and economic hardship caused by the Biya regime war in Southern Cameroons. The French Cameroun army and its CEMAC allies launched a brutal war against Southern Cameroons last year in an attempt to crush the Anglophone uprising.

The Biya Francophone government military offensive initially consisted of helicopter gun-firing campaign, but was later coupled with the deployment of ground forces. The war, however, has so far failed to achieve its goals, thanks to stiff resistance from Southern Cameroons Restoration Forces.

It is with immense sadness that the Annan family and the Kofi Annan Foundation announce that Kofi Annan, former Secretary General of the United Nations and Nobel Peace Laureate, passed away peacefully on Saturday 18th August after a short illness. His wife Nane and their children Ama, Kojo and Nina were by his side during his last days.

Kofi Annan was a global statesman and a deeply committed internationalist who fought throughout his life for a fairer and more peaceful world. During his distinguished career and leadership of the United Nations he was an ardent champion of peace, sustainable development, human rights and the rule of law.

After stepping down from the United Nations, he continued to work tirelessly in the cause of peace through his chairmanship of the Kofi Annan Foundation and as chair of The Elders, the group founded by Nelson Mandela. He was an inspiration to young and old alike.

Kofi Annan was a son of Ghana and felt a special responsibility towards Africa. He was particularly committed to African development and deeply engaged in many initiatives, including his chairmanship of the Africa Progress Panel and his early leadership of the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA).

Wherever there was suffering or need, he reached out and touched many people with his deep compassion and empathy. He selflessly placed others first, radiating genuine kindness, warmth and brilliance in all he did. He will be greatly missed by so many around the world, as well as his staff at the Foundation and his many former colleagues in the United Nations system. He will remain in our hearts forever.

The family kindly requests privacy at this time of mourning. Arrangements to celebrate his remarkable life will be announced later.

The video released last Friday showed soldiers firing automatic weapons at unarmed people assembled face down and sitting against a wall.

“The government condemns this gruesome, unbearable and unsupportable situation. At the same time while some accusing fingers are pointing at our army, from the same video you have another voice which says that this gruesome killing was perpetrated by another army in another nation,” Tchiroma told a press conference in the capital Yaounde.

His reaction followed a report by an international NGO stating that the shocking killings were committed by Cameroonian security forces during a military operation in the village of Achigaya in the Far North region of the country.

Cameroonian army is a responsible, discipline and people-friendly force, Tchiroma said but announced that an enquiry into the crime is in progress.

“A commission is on right now leading a thorough investigation in order to find out the perpetrators of the gruesome killings. If it happens that they are Cameroonians, then they will be taken to the court,” said Tchiroma.

Last week, Cameroon arrested seven soldiers suspected of having shot dead at close range two women and two young children in the Far North after denying the crime was not committed by Cameroon security forces.

Jerry Rawlings, Former Ghanaian Head of State and President of Ghana, has described the violence in Cameroon as a “horrible situation” and stated that France and Cameroonian leader Paul Biya cannot escape blame for the atrocities in the Anglophone half.

Rawlings made the condemnation while receiving members of the TakeItBack movement led by Omoyele Sowore, a presidential aspirant in the forthcoming elections in Nigeria, at his office in Ridge, Accra, Ghana.

He expressed worry that the situaton in Cameroon hasn’t been receiving consistent media attention because of the interest of some powerful western powers in the country’s resources.

Giving an eyewitness account of the happenings in Cameroon, Togolese Activist, Farida Nabourema, who is part of the TakeItBack team and was recently in Cameroon, said: “The week I was there, they actually shot four young men. We were going into town and a woman stopped us where there were four corpses of Anglophone Cameroonians.

She said the four were killed in an extra-judicial manner.

She added that the family later confirmed that one corpse was deposited at the hospital, while others were taken away by the military. She also spoke of widespread burning of villages, which she described as ethnic cleansing.

Sowore, who is an activist, called for an end to the bloodshed in Anglophone Cameroon, noting that every African life deserves to be protected.

He also called on the international community to look into events in Cameroon for the sake of posterity.

The Interim Government of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia says a recent deadly attack by French Cameroun government forces on the town of Mbengui in the Northern Zone, which massacred two nurses and 14 other innocent civilians, is a disgrace to the Biya Francophone regime and the French government, the main sponsor and arms supplier to French Cameroun.

The Ambazonian Department of Health issued the declaration as hundreds of medics in the Northern Zone came out in their numbers on Wednesday to pay their last respects to their colleagues who were shot at the weekend by soldiers loyal to the regime in Yaounde. Cameroon Concord News Group understands  Nancy Azah and her husband, Njong Paddisco ran two separate clinics in Mbengwi.

Several senior political commentators have criticized the African Union and the United Nations for inaction on the Biya regime’s policy of killing innocent Southern Cameroons citizens. In a broadcast to Ambazonians recently, Communications Secretary, Hon. Chris Anu said, Southern Cameroons interim government does not pin its hopes on the UN or the AU for any effort towards ending the genocidal campaign going on in Southern Cameroons, but rather relies on its own restoration forces and other freedom-seeking people to that end.

Over 2,000 people have been killed and 170 villages burned in English-speaking regions of Cameroon. Violence has escalated in Cameroon’s Anglophone regions in the last 18 months, with reports of French-speaking state forces launching a string of random attacks, kidnappings, and rapes against English-speaking residents and their villages.

After English-speaking residents in the Northwest and Southwest regions protested in October 2016 demanding autonomy because they feel underrepresented in the government, violence in those communities escalated throughout 2017.

Last month, the United Nations expressed concern that the violence against those communities has only “worsened considerably” since 2017 as there have been multiple reports of detention, torture, burning down of homes and excessive use of force by state forces.

Over the past weeks, several European and North American cities have been witnessing Ambazonian protests against the Biya Francophone regime and its French government partners deep within the UN and AU structures. Ambazonian protesters in Canada recently also called on the international community to punish the regime in Yaounde for its crimes against Southern Cameroons civilians.

In a relevant development, the Interim Government of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia has summoned all Southern Cameroons resistance groups to Washington DC for a unity meeting.

US President Donald Trump has escalated his public feud with a former White House aide, calling her a “dog” after she accused him of using racial slurs.

The spat intensified on Tuesday, when Omarosa Manigault Newman publicly released more recordings from her time as a contestant on Trump’s reality show – The Apprentice – and her tenure at the White House.

“When you give a crazed, crying lowlife a break, and give her a job at the White House, I guess it just didn’t work out. Good work by General (John) Kelly for quickly firing that dog!,” Trump wrote on Twitter, referring to his chief of staff.

Newman, who was sacked last December, has accused Trump of making derogatory statements and using N-words about African-Americans, Filipinos and other minorities, saying the US president has a “pattern” of insulting people of color and questioning their intelligence.

Newman, who served as communications director for the White House Office of Public Liaison, has also released several audio recordings of conversations she had with Trump and campaign aides as well as a recording of her firing by Kelly.

Earlier in the day, Trump’s election campaign sued the former White House aide for allegedly breaching a confidentiality agreement.

“Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. has filed an arbitration against Omarosa Manigault Newman, with the American Arbitration Association in New York City, for breach of her 2016 confidentiality agreement with the Trump Campaign,” a Trump campaign official said in a statement.

Newman said she would not be “silenced” or “bullied” by the legal action from Trump’s campaign team.

The Ambazonian Communications Secretary, Hon. Chris Anu has called for unity as factions within the other Southern Cameroons liberation movements become increasingly dangerous to the ongoing Southern Cameroons revolution.  Chris Anu in an audio message made public today Tuesday the 14th of August 2018 said the Interim Government has gotten intelligence that the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime  no longer believes in a military solution to the crisis in Southern Cameroons.

Chris Anu revealed that rampant political corruption in the French Cameroun army and failed economic reforms is slowly but surely pushing Ambazonian restoration forces to victory. The Ambazonian Interim Government spokesman also did announce that the time for unity has come and that Southern Cameroons front line leaders must rid themselves of factionalism.

We do not want a divided Federal Republic of Ambazonia, Chris Anu told Southern Cameroonians as he announced the unity conference to be hosted in Washington DC. Chris Anu balanced the priorities of all the Southern Cameroons liberation movements within the Interim Government, reiterating the Interim Government’s commitment to My Trip To Buea. Though the Southern Cameroons Interim Government supports unity, our senior political man, Soter Tarh Agbaw-Ebai says that unity will not be gotten at the expense of the people’s revolution.

A cross section of Ambazonians has become increasingly disillusioned with a raft of political division and poor management of the revolution by the Diaspora.  Many analysts say the 2018 presidential election in French Cameroun will provide a good opportunity for the international community to come to the rescue of Southern Cameroonians.

Over 2,000 people have been killed and 170 villages burned in English-speaking regions of Cameroon which has halted some Bible translation efforts, a Christian leader has warned. Violence has escalated in Cameroon’s Anglophone regions in the last 18 months, with reports of French-speaking state forces launching a string of random attacks, kidnappings, and rapes against English-speaking residents and their villages in Western Cameroon.

After English-speaking residents in the Northwest and Southwest regions protested in October 2016 demanding autonomy because they feel underrepresented in the government, violence in those communities escalated throughout 2017.

Last month, the United Nations expressed concern that the violence against those communities has only “worsened considerably” since 2017 as there have been multiple reports of detention, torture, burning down of homes and excessive use of force by state forces.

Scotland Yard officers in London have arrested a driver after he crashed a car into the security barriers outside the Houses of Parliament, an act that eyewitnesses said “looked deliberate.”

The incident happened on Tuesday morning, as the unidentified driver ploughed into pedestrians in Westminster before hitting the barriers.

“At 07:37hrs today, a car was in collision with barriers outside the Houses of Parliament,” the Scotland Yard said in a statement.

“The male driver of the car was detained by officers at the scene. A number of pedestrians have been injured. Officers remain at the scene. We will issue further info when we have it,” it added.

British media reported that several cyclists were also hit by the car. Police say none of the injured are believed to be in a life-threatening condition.

Scotland Yard said it cannot rule out terrorism at this stage. A number of eyewitnesses have described the driver’s actions as deliberate.

“While we are keeping an open mind, the Met’s Counter-Terrorism Command is leading the investigation into the Westminster incident,” the Met police said.

“Paramedics are treating a small group of people sitting on the ground outside the Palace of Westminster,” said BBC’s reporter at the scene.

“They are wrapped in silver blankets. One eyewitness, who declined to give his name, said he saw a small hatchback drive into a group of cyclists and then into the barrier outside the Palace of Westminster. The man said that the driver’s action appeared deliberate,” he added.

Police have shut down Westminster tube station as well as the streets around Millbank, Parliament Square and Victoria Tower Gardens.

Police have already put up a Terrorism Act cordon in the area, pushing people back from the site of the incident. Parliament is not currently in session.

The Houses of Parliament are protected with security barriers of steel and concrete. Security measures were bolstered around the parliamentary buildings after the Westminster Bridge attack in March 2017 when an assailant killed four by smashing his car into a group of people.
