Ultimatum by Interim Government: WHY WE SUPPORT THE ULTIMATUM
Cameroon Concord News Group strongly supports the ultimatum issued by the Interim Government of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia giving French Cameroun and Nigeria until Monday 5th February 2018 to prove that our interim president Sisiku Ayuk Tabe and 11 other members of the Interim Government who were abducted in Abuja, Nigeria on January 5, 2018 are alive. Cameroon Concord News Group supports the statement made by the Communication Secretary of the Interim Government, Hon. Chris Anu that past that dateline, if prove that they are alive is not provided, then the reaction that proceeded the genocide in Rwanda will look like a child’s play. For Cameroon Concord News Group, there could hardly be a better way of painting the picture of the potential reaction to the provocation and the international conspiratorial genocide against Ambazonia that has culminated in the abduction of our leaders in a supposed democratic Nigeria. This abduction in Abuja, the seat of power in Nigeria clarifies at long last, the dubious role played by some members of the Nigerian Government as the God fathers of the international crime cartels that have brought the countries of the African Sahel and the Gulf of Guinea on their knees. This international crime is a stain on the conscience of the supposed democratic Federation of Nigeria. The French slave territory of French Cameroun is the well-known Al Capone crime paradise in the Gulf of Guinea that preys on the blood and sweat of the Southern Cameroons.
Cameroon Concord News Group has read with dismay some timid attempt at condemning this strong statement made by the Interim Government, alleging that it amounted to an apology of genocide. This accusation which the criminal regimes to which the ultimatum has been shying to make is regrettable and unfortunate. Cameroon Concord News Group is tempted to suspect that such a timid statement is intended to benefit the genocidal regime and the abductors of our interim leaders. The statement of the Interim Government delivered by Hon. Chris Anu was not responsible for the genocide in Manyu, Kwakwa and other parts of Ambazonia. The statement was not responsible for the genocide perpetrated on November 22 and October 1, 2017 which was widely celebrated by the government of French Cameroun, members of the CPDM and Members of the Senate and National Assembly of French Cameroun. It was not responsible for the genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes that have decimated hundreds of thousands of Southern Cameroons/ Ambazonian citizens for the past fifty-seven years. That statement was not responsible for the widespread and systematic rape of our girls in schools and universities, torching of civilian settlements and deportation of our people from our ancestral lands. It was not responsible for the hundreds of thousands of our refugees in foreign lands. It is regrettably the absence of statements of this nature and action to implement that provided cattle fodder to the impunity with which these crimes have been committed so far. It is the preplanned genocide of our people and the abduction of our leaders that the ultimatum promises a strong response worse than that occurred under similar genocidal circumstances in Rwanda.
For these reasons we strongly endorse the statement and urges the Interim Government to extend the ultimatum to include the immediate and unconditional release of our leaders if they are alive, the immediate and unconditional halt to the genocide and withdrawal of all French Cameroun’s terrorist forces from our territory, the divestment of French Cameroun’s colonial administrators and all symbols of colonial governance from our territory. That a person laying claims to leadership in the Southern Cameroons struggle should come out in times like these to condemn this strong statement calls for legitimate suspicion. It is regrettable that this individual and others have so far not come out strongly to condemn the genocide in the Southern Cameroons like the Roman Catholic Bishops, the International Crisis Group, Amnesty International and the African Bar Association have boldly done. Rather they have turned their weapons inward to attack and delegitimize every effort to confront the enemy comprehensively and decisively. We in the Cameroon Concord News Group hold that this strong statement is appropriate in the circumstances. French Cameroun and its corrupt co-conspirators in the Nigerian Government will bear the consequences of the escalation of the genocidal war of choice they have declared against Ambazonia and its consequences in the entire Gulf of Guinea.
We strongly condemn any betrayal of the revolution and its leadership and support the self-defense efforts of Ambazonians at home and abroad. Those who cannot provide a strong response to the ongoing crimes against our people or bold enough to strongly condemn the crimes should spare the people the pains and provocations of timid statements that benefit our adversaries.

It is a shame that the international community has not condemned the abduction and maybe execution of our leaders in strong terms. Africa can solve its own problems. Why have other Heads of States in Africa remained silent on this issue? They make gangster Biya look like an untouchable giving him the leeway to do anything he feels like he can do and go scot free as usual. It’s unfortunate for him this time because Mr Biya has to be held responsible for all his crimes against humanity and especially the people of Southern Cameroons. The Leaders of Southern Cameroons cannot disappear since 1/5/18 till date and the world is silent about it. These are human beings we are talking about for God sake. These are some of the issues that radicalize people who have never had even a traffic ticket. These are some of the instances where you leave your emotions completely to override your thinking and you become a slave to your emotions because you cannot comprehend something like this how Leaders who are very respectable people in their communities disappear and the world remains silent about it.
Southern Cameroonians have gone more than beyond knocking on every door looking for diplomacy and lasting solutions to this problem but the world has ignored every chance of listening to these people. Almost every diplomatic mission on planet earth where you fine a Southern Cameroonian has been visited, but the world has ignored our cry and has remained silent therefore pushing Ambazonians to look for other options because the language of diplomacy has been misunderstood or deliberately ignored leaving Southern Cameroonians on their own. Southern Cameroonians are tired of hearing that the UN is closely monitoring the events in southern Cameroons. The time of monitoring is past because this genocide on the people of southern Cameroon is real. We need action and not just mere words because we have heard this for 57years and nothing has been done. Hundreds have died already and everyday people are dying in their numbers. Where the country fines itself today, this is unfortunately the next Rwanda in the making. The sad part about this is that, the world is waiting with an ulterior motive in mind to make something big in terms of money out of this. Just like they the world ignored Rwanda and millions were killed, Hollywood made millions out of this tragedy by releasing the acclaimed movie “HOTEL RWANDA”. The same world ignored Sierra Leone and Liberia and Hollywood made money out of that tragedy with “BLOOD DIAMONDS”, ignored the Biafra war and realized “TEARS OF THE SUN”. Southern Cameroons are certain that a” HOTEL AMBAZONIAN” is in the making someday by Hollywood.
It’s time the world has to stand up and say enough is enough. STOP THE GENOCIDE IN SOUTHERN CAMEROON, RELEASE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS AND RELEASE ALL OUR LEADERS DEAD OR ALIVE. The people of southern Cameroons have endured this for too long. 57years and counting and the world is ignoring this. A stitch in time saves nine. Do something and stop the killings, stop the refugee crisis. These are human beings just like you. They equally have blood running in their system just like you do. When you throw a stone in a crowded market you cannot tell on whose head it’s going to land. It might be on the head of your mother. AGAIN DON`T HELP RADICALIZE THESE PEOPLE AND THEN WE HAVE SOMETHING EVEN BIGGER TO DEAL WITH IN THE NEAREST FUTURE.

regarding the warning passed by our interim government to the Buhari Government, if this warning is not respected, I don’t think it is right to attack the Nigerian government with weapons since this will result to a situation where Cameroon and Nigeria will join to fight the Ambazonias .We can recall that Paul biya and Buhari government have international relations particularly that of Boko Haram.
