EU threatens to withdraw from JCPOA 0
European leaders have threatened to start withdrawing from the Iran nuclear deal in November if Tehran does not return to full compliance.
President Donald Trump withdrew the US from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) in May 2018, and has since reinstated old sanctions and imposed new ones on Tehran in the hope of crippling its economy and forcing it into falling in line.
Since then, Europe says it has strived to preserve the deal, setting up a financial mechanism called INSTEX to help Iran circumvent US sanctions. But in reality not much has been achieved. Trade with Iran has not surged via INSTEX, and Europe has not stood up to the US over its illegal sanctions and unceremonious withdrawal from the historic deal. And yet Iran is the signatory being asked to cooperate.
Three separate steps have been taken so far by Iran and the fourth is scheduled for November. Tehran wants the US sanctions to be lifted, but as pressure on the Iranian people increases with inflation skyrocketing and vital goods and medicines becoming increasingly scarce, the government is losing patience.
This past week European leaders tried to orchestrate a meeting between Trump and Rouhani at the UN General Assembly. Macron told Rouhani it was an opportunity he shouldn’t miss, but Iran’s president was candid.
So no talks on any level until all US sanctions are lifted. During and after the UN general assembly Europe’s tone became increasingly aggressive towards Tehran. The JCPOA’s European trio blamed Iran for the attacks on Saudi oil refineries and threatened to withdraw from the nuclear deal in November if Iran did not return to full compliance.

Biya using Southern Cameroons card as cover for failures in French Cameroun 0
Ambazonia Vice President Dabney Yerima has said that the French Cameroun regime under President Paul Biya is using the war in the Federal Republic of Ambazonia as a cover for its successful failures in La Republique du Cameroun.
Comrade Dabney Yerima also pointed out that the French Cameroun despot is running out of ideas and is now making accusations against the people of Southern Cameroons and the Ambazonia Interim Government as a cover for failures stemming from corruption and mediocrity deep within the Francophone system.
Vice President Yerima added that Yaounde’s destructive policies against Ambazonia should not be overlooked despite the French Cameroun regime’s tendency to blame Southern Cameroons Restoration Forces for the 37 years of failure in leadership.
The comments from the Ambazonia second-in-command came in response to the so-called national dialogue recently announced by the 86 year old French Cameroun leader and the decision by the Southern Cameroons Interim Government to appoint veteran US diplomat Herman J. Cohen as a spokesperson for the Ambazonians in the Yaoundé talks.
Dabney Yerima went on to list a number of French Cameroun regime’s vicious policies against the Federal Republic of Ambazonia, such as the onslaught in both the Northern and Zones of Southern Cameroons, Biya regime’s killing of peaceful Ambazonia political dissidents, lack of democracy in French Cameroun and respect for human rights while on a daily basis committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Southern Cameroons.
