He possessed the rare breed of Anglo Saxon values of truth and accountability to constituents. A judge who held true to the dictates of the Common Law System of all equal before the law. Illegality to him was a poison he could not take, neither was political corruption that enriches him against the masses. Paul Abine Ayah (1950 – 25 December 2024) was an Anglophone Cameroonian politician who was a member of the National Assembly of Cameroon and a member of the ruling Cameroon People’s Democratic Movement (CPDM). He later joined the opposition party, PAP (Peoples Action Party). In August 2007, he was elected as Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the National Assembly of Cameroon. He was a deputy for Manyu in the Southwest part of English Cameroon(Ambazonia).

Life and career

Ayah graduated from the National School of Administration and Magistracy (ENAM) in Yaoundé in 1976 and went on to become the vice-president of the Court of Appeal in Buea, until becoming member of the National Assembly of Cameroon in 2002. His constituency centered around his hometown, Akwaya, which is accessible by a poorly maintained road and foot track from Mamfe in Anglophone Cameroon.

A man of Values and Principles

In early 2008, Ayah was an outspoken critic of the 2008 changes to the Constitution of Cameroon, which removed term limits that would have prevented President Paul Biya from standing for re-election in 2011. According to Ayah, the changes were “not democratic”, and he said that if the bill was adopted it “will take us back some 200 years.” Despite not being present at the vote in the National Assembly and declaring that he had not made a procuration for his vote, a vote was reportedly made in his name.

On 3 January 2011, Ayah resigned from the CPDM and stood for the presidential election. He was later appointed a sitting judge at the Supreme Court of Cameroon. On 4 March 2019, he announced his resignation as president of the PAP.

Arrest and Release

Ayah was arrested on 21 January 2017, in connection with advocating for Cameroon to return to federal system of government as it was in the 1960s. He was tried at the Yaoundé military tribunal with Cameroon Anglophone Civil Society Consortium (CACSC), which is now banned and illegal by the government of Cameroon in relation to the civil war in the two English speaking regions of Cameroon. Ayah was released from prison by a presidential decree on 30 August 2017 after spending more than eight months in detention in Yaounde prison. He was tortured and his eyes damaged. He never regained his health. His family contents that Hon. Ayah was killed when he was arrested. Prior to his arrest, he has never been to a hospital. His pension which he earned was also suspended by the government as punishment for his stance against impunity on the minority English-speaking people. In the video below, the late Ayah paul explains his treatment by the French Cameroun dictator- Paul Biya.

Death

Ayah died on 25 December 2024, at the age of 74. He funeral was held on 14 February 2025.

Report with contribution from Wikipedia

The civil war, that Gregory Stanton of Genocide Watch, has emphatically stated is a genocide based on his stages of genocide has seen the killing of more than 54,000 innocent civilians since 2016. Villages more than the size of the US State of Connecticut have been burnt down by the French Cameroun soldiers (now called colonial soldiers by the citizens of the territory). This genocide is backed by France and her diplomatic allies. Despite affirmations by US diplomats like Mr. Henry Balerin, that there is “Targeted Killings” by the French Cameroun soldiers, the Biden White House silently backed France in this extermination, while acknowledging the plight of thousands of displaced people from English-speaking Cameroon(Ambazonia) around the world. The Biden Administration’s Temporary Protective Status for refugees from Kamerun is an acknowledgement of the genocide on the minority English-speaking people who are executed daily as they struggle to assert their colonial attachment to British/Anglo-Saxon values. The British Government on its part has remained silent on the killings as Paris and his colonial stooge, Paul Biya violates whatever human rights provisions exist in the world.

From the coastal town of Victoria(named after Queen Victoria of England) to the Donga River(border with Nigeria around Taraba State), 2024 saw daily human executions by the French Cameroun soldiers. Rivers are littered with corpses, stenchy farmlands from abandoned corpses shot and thrown by the soldiers. Young women are raped with their mothers, entire villages torched by the soldiers, yet the world watches in silence. The situation deteriorated under the Biden Administration as the 92-year-Biya, was handed a genocide blank check with a red carpet receptions in DC and Paris. This was not the case under Donald Trump. During his first term, President Donald Trump was hard to the dictator; apart from lifting AGOA benefits to French Cameroun, he equally called for negotiations without preconditions and backing the Swiss-led initiative that would have paved the way for the resolution of the conflict. Under Trump, dictators like Biya were not rolled a red carpet in DC like the Biden Administration

The Ngallah Gerald Massacre in Nkambe, 11 February 2024

The killings apart from being orchestrated by the two colonial governors in the Anglophone regions(persons who should be roommates with Charles Taylor) equally saw imposed politicians in the name of parliamentarians masterminding their own killings in their various localities. Such was the case in Nkambe Local Gov’t Area, where a locally-imposed politician from the colonial capital Yaounde not only deceived innocent school children but coerced parents out to a celebration of Youth Day – 11 February 2024, earlier banned by the leaders of the Ambazonian liberation struggle. Mr. Ngallah Gerald with soldiers and suit cases of money forced his way into the local area, bribing the civilians, coercing some. “We were warned that if we don’t go to the field, they will term us Ambas and thus be executed and dumped.” One victims relative tell reporters after a bomb explosion shattered the innocent villagers at the ceremony organized by the parachute politician. Local reports said Mr. Ngallah planned the execution to tell the world that the Ambazonian State Armies don’t care about their owns

The Meme Massacre

At least 11 innocent villagers, most of them farmers were summarily executed recently(August 2024) by French Cameroun soldiers in Kumba. The soldiers had earlier that day had a confrontation with the Ambazonia liberation forces. In their normal scorched-earth policy and indiscriminate killings in Ambazonia invaded a farming area where the farmers were working on their farms and open fire on the civilians.

Innocent Civilians Killed and Tagged with guns

In addition to the killings above, other civilians all men were equally massacred, still in Meme County in the territory. To deceive the world, they tagged them with ammuitions callig them Ambazonia Liberation forces. Not the first time in orchestrationg such lies.

Grand Mothers not left out in their massacres

Below are images of a grand mother’s head shattered by the French Cameroun soldiers in Bafut, in August 2024. She was shot alongside bike repair man. The soldiers claim they were after Ambazonia Forces, whom they call “enemies”, despite their popularity with the local population that hates the French Cameroun soldiers. The question is, ” why the head of an innocent grand mother?” The answer is the disregard for Anglophone lives by the colonial French Cameroun soldiers backed by France and the outgoing Biden Administration.

At least 1300 killed in 2024

Based on summary executions with corpses found daily on the streets and rivers in English Cameroon( French Cameroun soldiers under the 92-year Biya has killed more than 3000 Anglophones this year alone. More than 11 villages were also burnt by the soldiers. Since the civil war started in 2016, at least 53000 Ambazonians have been killed with over 500 villages burnt by the soldiers who are now called colonial soldiers. The Biden attitude towards this genocide and other conflicts in Africa masterminded by France and supported by the Biden White House contributed to the loss of the African vote by the Democrats.

Will the Killings Continue Under Donald Trump in 2025?

The killings in the ongoing genocide in English Cameroon intensified in the las three months of the year 2024. The reasons lies in the mentality of dictator Biya who is uncertain about the 2nd Trump term. During his first term(2016-2020), President Donald Trump was hard on the dictator. With Trump at the White House, if his tough policies towards the Macron-backed dictator in Yaounde are re-instated, one might hope for true negotiations to examine the root cause of the genocide that has claimed more than 55,000 lives since 2016.
