#EndAnglophoneCrisis is not just a regional crisis linked to bad gouvernance; it is state sanctioned terrorism in the form of a genocidal project designed to balkanize Cameroon and ensure that a state of impunity reigns.
I am so devasted that dozens of children were massacred for simply wanting to go to school, it was probably the only place where they could find solace outside of the daily terror that they were accustomed too.
I am devasted that Cameroonian youth whether organizing nationally against Biya’s oligarchic dictatorship or regionally for socio-political independence are constantly living in a state of fear, disempowered by an environment that was destined to keep them surviving
The current articulation of the #endanglophonecrisis, contextually, seeks to bring attention to the humanitarian cost of a repressive war that seeks to undermine the rights of a socio-political organization that has been fighting for their political sovereignty for 70+ years
we are all fighting against the same enemy that stopped a potentiallyrevolutionary movement that could’ve been one of the most successful counter-imperialist projects in Cameroon had they not stopped Ambazonians from having an independent state
Successful is an understatement when you actually study how much radical anti-colonial organizations created regional fractions determined to fight french neo-colonialism after the declaration of faux-dependence.
We are talking about a revolutionary war that has been completely erased from Pan-African history and that dates back to 58 tragically ending in the 70’s. It is one of the longest wars France has ever had to fight and reason being that it was inherently people-centered
it was multi-ethnic, vested in politicizing ancestral practices, and rigorously invested in organizing unified guerrilla warfare + pan-african alliances with other leaders like Lumumba.
