British Southern Cameroons (Ambazonia) Genocide Library

“Killing us and denying our pain and corpses is indication we are worthless.” A native whose parents shared the grief when the father carried the remnants of his charred baby out of the rubble of his smoldering home. The wailing was enough for any parent whether in authority, be it in politics or the church to condemn, but none has. The perpetrator – French Cameroon authorities have again sent out another lie about the gruesome roasting of the toddler. Thy blame an inexistent Ambazonia forces in the area. An act the locals say confirm their status as worthless human beings. The French Cameroun authorities have increasingly resorted to lying about the genocide, after willfully executing innocent people.

HOW THE KILLING OF THE TODDLER HAPPENED

According to our source (under wraps), the French Cameroun Bulubeti militias had invaded the village of Tiben, Batibo Subdivision (Moghamo Local Government) of the territory of British Southern Cameroon (Ambazonia) on 11 February, 2021. Known for their killings, burning, torture, rape and harassment, the villagers all fled to the bushes for safety. In the midst of the confusion, Mr. Jonas Ndi and wife forgot their child in the house. The least one can expect is infanticide of the type he got. The soldiers on reaching the village and finding no one to exact their default acts of torture, execution rape and execution, set homes on fire before leaving. The result was Mr. Ndi’s child roasted alive; the body was charred like coal (video below). There was no exchange of fire by any Ambazonia Freedom fighters as peddled by the French Cameroun authorities.

TIBEN IS JUST ONE MORE BABY KILLED AND TORCHED

Killing and roasting of babies is the hallmark of the French Cameroun authorities in this ongoing genocide that has killed more than23000 innocent civilians. More than 450 villages have been burnt by these French Cameroun soldiers. Only an impartial foreign commission can ascertain the extent of the Atrocity Crimes conducted on these vulnerable people. Below are images of a few of the more than 4,000 burnt alive in their homes in anglophone Cameroon by French Cameroun soldiers.

Eye witness say the French Cameroun military invaded the farming village of Essoh Atah, Lebialem County in anglophone Cameroon (British Southern Cameroon/Ambazonia) on 13-14 February, 2021. Alongside with informants (alleged to be ex-fighters of Ambazonian forces in the area) assembled the villagers, claiming to be there for their good. The lead informant in the name of Njinjuh Christopher then singled out three local kings said to be loyal to one of the Ambazonian Freedom fighters in the area. The French Cameroun military then publicly-executed the three kings alongside five other civilians.

After the execution, the villagers were then tied and ferried to a local soccer field. An action that mimics yoked slaves in the 14 century in preparation for slave ships. Some whose lives were spared were severely tortured. In one of the pictures circulating on social media, one of the “yoked” villagers is seen with a swollen head and almost deformed right eye. The torture and killing of innocent civilians in Essoh Atah follows another gruesome torture of an innocent man in the village of Ndu, still in the anglophone region.

At her confirmation hearing last month, Biden’s Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Nominee Avril Haines, was categorical: “Waterboarding Is Torture….. unlawful both in the national and international perspective and should not be used.” (Watch her video here). Foreign Policy magazine reminds the west in November 2020 thus: “Paul Biya’s regime is ignoring the battle against Boko Haram and the Islamic State and using foreign counterterrorism assistance to fund its brutal repression of citizens with legitimate grievances.”

This is not the first time US-related assistance to Africa’s oldest and most brutal dictator mummified Paul Biya is being used to commit crimes against humanity. Between 2013 – 2017, the same French Cameroun military engaged in serious torture and abuses in Northern Cameroon at a base used by US military to help and to train French Cameroun soldiers. Victims told Amnesty International that the Americans could hear them crying and did nothing. The same inaction of today was seen on the part of the Obama-Biden Administration. Amnesty sums up some of the torture tactics thus: “

“In a common suspension technique known as ‘the swing’, the victim’s arms and legs are again tied behind his back, before he is lifted and suspended on a bar fitted between two poles … and further beaten,” Amnesty said. Other torture documented included being tied standing up in stress positions for 24 hours, being subject to simulated drowning, being deprived of food, forced to drink urine, given electric shocks and burned.”

From Obama and now Biden, Lip Service can’t stop a GENOCIDE

With no action taken by successive US governments to reign in dictator Biya who benefits from military help from the US, the abuses have continued unabated. The Trump administration scaled down military aid to the country and even suspended French Cameroun from privileges under the AGOA trading arrangement. With the impunity continuing on the minority anglophones, the Trump action has proven to be a mere window dressing, thanks to backing from US ally – France. in a recent resolution calling for the end of the conflict, the US Senate urged France to take action to end the conflict. They accuse the colonial French authorities as being interested only in resources. Despite the talking since 2016, no action has been taken by the US government to end the brutality in which former state department staff Dr. Greg Stanton of Genocide Watch has called a pure GENOCIDE. The mere minimum of the The Leahy Laws or Leahy amendments (that prohibit the U.S. Department of State and Department of Defense from providing military assistance to foreign security force units that violate human rights with impunity) is still to even threaten Biya with any sanctions despite the abundant documented abuses

The videos below summarize the gradual extinction of the minority English-speaking people of British Cameroon (Ambazonia) forced against their will into a union with French Cameroun in 1961. In the two videos attached (which is just a tip of the daily abuses), the innocent victims are waterboarded, tortured and killed. The killers are heard saying that their brother is part of the anglophone self-defense forces in the territory. The gruesome incident was recorded in the village of Ndu, on the 12 February, 2021. Some of The soldiers are trained by the US.

He refused to be silent Mallam after his people were massacred in the most gruesome manner. Mallam Danjuma of Ngarbuh, provided the details of the French Cameroun military executions of children and women on 14 February, 2020. His details were vital in aiding organizations like Human Rights Watch to assemble the details to confirm that French Cameroun Soldiers committeed the massacre. This audacity caused his disappearance till date. The French Cameroun colonial authorities initially denied the massacre, but the indelible evidence backed by eye witnesses forced them to sheepishly accepted being the executioner in-chief. Sources say the pressure brought to bear on the lying regime of mummified Biya, causing him to acknowledge one of the few massacres angered the administration. Mallam Danjuma was thus to pay the price. Till date since he was arrested days after the Ngarbuh massacre by the French Cameroun colonial government, he has not been seen or heard. The organizations he helped provide details about the gruesome massacre like Human Rights Watch have failed to provide closure to the traumatized family. Sources in the Kumbo alleged he was killed and dumped in a bush far off from the presence of anyone. Mallam Danjuma joins the list of thousands killed and buried or dumped in bushes in the ongoing genocide in Anglophone Cameroon by the French Cameroun authorities. Since the crisis began in 2016, more than 24000 people have been killed. To ascertain the true estimate, a true and an impartial fact-finding mission to the territory. People like Danjuma, are scared for their lives to talk to anybody or organization without safety guarantee before and after any interview.

The latest killing in the village of Tiben in Batibo Local government further shows not only how sanguinary this French Cameroun appointed governor is, but how much his genocidal killings since 2016 have been encouraged with no sanctions. He presided over the gruesome Ngarbuh massacre and still have the audacity to go condole with the grieving mothers. He has killed, burnt, buried in mass graves of countless women and children in Anglophone Cameroon (British Southern Cameroon/Ambazonia). For four years, the world has watched with lip services. The latest is in the locality of Tiben in Batibo on 11 February, 2021. Governor Lele Afrique’s commanded soldiers not only burnt villages, but deliberately set a baby on fire as they retreat (video below). The world watches in silence. More than 24000 have been killed since 2016. The crisis started as a mere demand for a return to the article of union between these two UN-mandated territories of English-speaking Cameroon and French-speaking Cameroon in 1961. The majority French-speaking population embarked on deliberate killing and burning of the entire territory. For details of some of the killings, click here.

From Ngarbuh, Mbiame, Kumba, Bafut, Muyuka, and all over the territory of British Cameroon/ Ambazonia, the killings were cruel. Women as old as 70 were also gang-raped by the French Cameroun soldiers. Innocent civilians were beheaded and others incinerated in their homes. Pregnant women were killed with pride. In all, more than 3500 Anglophones (British Southern Cameroonians/Ambazonians) were killed by the French Cameroun bulubeti militias in 2020. Below is a month-by-month tally of the killings and destructions in 2020.

The gruesome Killings continued in April interspersed with beheadings and the gang-rape of 70-year-old mother by French Cameroun soldiers in Bafut. in Bangem in the Southern Zone of the territory, the executions were remorseless. Six young men arrested in their homes were massacred in the most cruel means imaginable. Cameroon News Agency says, French Cameroun colonial soldiers had invaded the area under the pretext of meeting any restoration fighters but “failing to meet the armed separatist fighters, they waited till about 6 a.m. before beginning the process of arresting 6 young men, most of whom were removed from their homes and killed before their relatives. in Bafut, Awah Pius’ head was cut off and placed on a post for the world to see.

At least 189 Killed in May 2020

Desmond in his early twenties was picked up by the French Cameroun colonial military officer called Butcher Bakary in Tubah. He was an orphan whose younger siblings depend on him for survival. According to friends, they say he knew Ambazonian Freedom fighters. As relatives and friends went the next day 11 May, 2020, to check on him at the Mile 9, colonial jail, the blood-thirsty Bakary arrogantly referred them to where he had killed and dumped young Desmond’s body. On retrieving the body, his chest was riddled with Mr. Bakary’s bullets. Desmund was not a terrorist. He was learning to be a truck driverAs Bambui (Tubah) was reeling with such executions from the French Cameroun Bulubeti soldiers, A senator – Mbella Moki Charles was exhibiting the greatest hypocrisy to British Southern Cameroonians. With four innocent youths executed at Bonduma, a few miles away from his home, the faint-heart stooge Senator of Biya’s oligarchy was expressing sympathy for George Floyd, killed by a white Police officer in the Unite States, thousands of miles away. The four innocent British Cameroonians were just one in the series of extra-judicial killings in the Senators area, A few days back -19 May, 2020, two innocent boys were kidnapped by the French Cameroun military in the locality of Mautu. Their bodies were discovered two days later in an advanced state of decomposition. (For details of May 2020 killings and destruction with images. Click here)

HORRIBLE STORIES OF THE +600 BRITISH CAMEROONIANS EXECUTED IN JUNE, July and AUGUST, 2020.

The month of August will go down as one of the deadliest in the ongoing genocide in British Cameroon. Gruesome pictures erupt from the nooks and crannies of the territory masterminded by Colonial French Cameroun Soldiers, backed by France. Extra-judicial killings top the most brutal acts. From Kumbo, Ikiliwindi to Mautu and Muyuka in Fako County, the French Cameroun soldiers upped their executions. Some were not only blindfolded and shot into rivers, but were picked up, killed and dumped elsewhere. Others were simply killed softly in chains. “My husband excreted and urinated in his pants for four days…..We pleaded with them to unchain Pa, but they refused.” A family member of Mr. Tangem Thomas Nganyu, who died chained to his bed in Yaounde on the 5th of August, 2020.

HERE ARE THE DETAILS OF THE +324 BRITISH S. CAMEROONIANS EXECUTED BY FRENCH CAMEROUN, BACKED BY FRANCE IN SEPT – OCT 2020.

The rapist colonial soldiers did not only molest women in mud, but gang-raped a 23-year-old nursing mother in Bamenda in front of her aunt and her young children; one less than 2 years. Below are the stories of some of the more than 300 innocent British Southern Cameroonians killed in the month of September and October 2020. Family members describe him as a quiet and hard working young carpenter. He was as usual hustling to earn a living in Bamenda, but on 2 September, 2020, the French Cameroun colonial Bulubeti militias arrested the young Nshom Macubal. Family members speak of a desperate search for his location at all police precincts and colonial “Gerdame” stations in vain. On the 4th of September, 2020, their search was answered. The young carpenter, about 19 years old had been summarily-executed by the French Cameroun military and the corpse dumped for collection like trash.

SOME IMAGES OF THE +402 BRITISH S.CAMEROONIANS KILLED IN NOV-DEC, 2020 BY FRENCH CAMEROUN SOLDIERS

The biggest human massacres happened in Bafut, of the Northern part of the territory. In total about 75 innocent civilians including breastfeeding mothers were killed by French Cameroun Bulubeti militias under mummified Paul Biya, backed by France. A reporter describe the carnage thus: “Shattered skulls, perforated eyes, mangled bodies, hollow necks and stomachs from the French Cameroun military bullets. Leaking milk from shattered breasts of breastfeeding mothers. The penetrations and chasms depict the closeness of the weaponry. Sounds like a natural disaster, but NO. It is man-made, masterminded by France and the UN.” details here. In Akwaya , seven innocent Kids were executed by French Cameroun soldiers as they came back for food after being deliberately abandoned by the UN Refugee Agency. An eye witness reports: On the morning of Thursday, November 26, 2020, seven innocent young boys were on their way to the village of Ehembado, carrying on their heads jute bags containing cocoa beans for some traders.

More than 45 innocent civilians have been executed by French Cameroun soldiers in the past 10 days in the anglophone region according to the BBC. With a message of peace as Cardinal Pietro Parolin says he was bringing, the killings at the same time that he was presiding over a coronation mass in Bamenda shows how worthless the French Cameroun colonial authorities take the Vatican’s Secretary of State’s visit . At the Catholic heartland of Kumbo, three innocent civilians were pulled out of their homes and executed by the Biya colonial armies at the village of Ntse on 31 January, 2021. While a cross section of the prelates were singing God’s praises as the embodiment of peace in Bamenda, other priests in Ntse Kumbo were praying for the repose of the souls of the Catholic Christians pulled out of their homes and murdered by French Cameroun soldiers. The killings once more show that prayers alone can’t save human life and suffering in anglophone Cameroon. The more than 45 killed in the last 10 days have been children and women, pulled out of their homes and shot point blank. The Catholic church is still to issue a condemnation.

The general sentiment in the population is that the church is increasingly being seen as a party to the genocide taking place n the territory since 2016. ” How many have they buried and how many more does the pope want us to bury?” A woman questions. “How can Bishop Nkea and Cardinal Pietro be sharing the same stage with those who have deprived us of our children? These people are worst than Hitler.” A woman whose son alongside three others killed and dumped in Bambui a day before Pietro’s visit questions. “We need justice not prayers. These people (referring to the majority French-speaking Camerounians, don’t see us as humans. We are their guinea pigs. They break into our homes pull us out and shoot us daily.” She laments. “The pope with his influence should press for a genuine dialogue, because we are different from these people. We know our history. It is not killing people indiscriminately.” The mourning teacher concludes.

While the visit of the pope’s emissary in French Cameroun was a civil occasion, in the anglophone regions, it was transformed into a military parade, with civilians no where to be found. “Is that how we received Pope John Paul II here?” An old disillusioned Catholic Christian questions. “Go and tell the bishop to tell the Pope that, we are tired of burying our children.” He directs. The conflict which is now in its 5th year has seen the destruction of more than 400 villages by the French Cameroun soldiers who are now called colonial forces by the anglophones. Schools have been shut down but for some in the towns. About 100,000 are in Nigeria as refugees, with close to a million internally displaced. Recently another Catholic prelate – Retired Cardinal Tumi, claim without evidence that the Anglophone restoration forces are Nigerians. Many interpret the assertion as an endorsement of more killings as the majority French Cameroun authorities prior to the conflict label the anglophones as Nigerians and dogs – worthy of extinction. More than 24000 have been killed since 2016. “All the pope can do is to rally the world to come and investigate these killings for reconciliation to prevail.” An anonymous Catholic authority quips. Many Catholic priests have also been killed by the French Cameroun soldiers in the conflict.

The world watches as the ethnic cleansing continues for 5 years now. More than 23,000 killed. The killings in these areas and others in Bambui, Bamenda, Maumu bring to about 48 killed in the last 10 days by French Cameroun Bulubeti militias under mummified Paul Biya, backed by France.

In 1994 when the Clinton Administration and its state department looked the other way on the Atrocity Crimes unfolding in Rwanda, he never wavered on his assessment of the bloodbath. He mustered the guts to dissent with the state department’s mute position at the time calling it GENOCIDE. Dr. Gregory Stanton was deemed a rebel by colleagues at the State Department at the time. At the end, after more than 800,000 had died, he was later awarded the American Foreign Service Association’s W. Averell Harriman Award for “extraordinary contributions to the practice of diplomacy exemplifying intellectual courage,” based on his dissent from U.S. policy on the Rwandan genocide . President Clinton has on several occasions apologized for his inaction despite secret government cables warning of the impending massacre and the massacre. This has been the case with anglophone Cameroon (British Southern Cameroon/Ambazonia) where an American Diplomat – Amb. Henry Balerin has called it targeted killing of the anglophones – a euphemism for Genocide. Despite these declarations, warnings, abundant social media evidences and testimonies in Congress, the killings continue. One of such rare gems on Genocide has added his voice again like he did in 1994.

Barely a year ago, when casualties were around 21000 (now above 23000), Dr. Stanton was blunt saying what was taking place against the anglophone minority was GENOCIDE. Sounding the alarm on ABC Television, Dr. Stanton, best known for his work on the 10 stages of genocide, on the site Genocide Watch was categorical that the stages have been exhausted in British Cameroon (Ambazonia), and intervention long overdue. The government of French Cameroon he says is now in the DENIAL STAGE, and since the world is silent, she continues the killings. According to Prof. Stanton, self-defense is a legitimate weapon of defense in a fight for survival like in Anglophone Cameroon, where women, children and their villages are killed and razed. On how the 10 stages of genocide by Dr. Stanton fits in the British Cameroon (Anglophone) genocide, click here. Biden has been a fierce critic of oppression of minorities since the days of apartheid. Now is the time not to repeat Clinton’s error. He can end this genocide now.

Who is Dr. Gregory Stanton?

He is the finest gem on GENOCIDE. Dr. Gregory Stanton is the former Research Professor in Genocide Studies and Prevention at the George Mason University in Fairfax County, Virginia. He is best known for his work in the area of genocide studies. He is the founder and president of Genocide Watch, the founder and director of the Cambodian Genocide Project, and the Chair of the Alliance Against Genocide. From 2007 to 2009 he was the President of the International Association of Genocide Scholars. He was the Research Professor in Genocide Studies and Prevention at the School for Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University, Arlington, Virginia.

Stanton served in the State Department (1992–1999). At the State Department he drafted the United Nations Security Council resolutions that created the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, the Burundi Commission of Inquiry, and the Central African Arms Flow Commission. He also drafted the U.N. Peacekeeping Operations resolutions that helped bring about an end to the Mozambique civil war. In 1994. Stanton wrote the State Department options paper on ways to bring the Khmer Rouge to justice in Cambodia. Stanton was deeply involved in the U.N.-Cambodian government negotiations that brought about the creation of the Khmer Rouge Tribunal, for which he drafted internal rules of procedure.

Dr. Stanton’s Interview on the Genocide on the Minority Anglophones

(REPUBLISHED) Retired Catholic Clergy, Cardinal Christian Tumi, of the Republique of Cameroun, has openly confessed that they deliberately tried to influence the outcome of a survey of British Southern Cameroonians on the form of the state of Kamerun. Speaking to Equinox Television, in the French Cameroun Economic Capital of Douala, on September 16, 2019, the prelate said the interviewees refused to hear about federalism, which they stated was the form of the state. “When we said what form of government will solve this problem, we made the choice for them like Federation, Decentralization. Just about 4 or 5 reacted out of a thousand“. The Cardinal said 69% of the respondents added the third option with the qualifier “ABSOLUTE” Separation. “We were taken aback” Cardinal Tumi said. To the man of God, it is clear that 69% of British Cameroonians are convinced that if Anglophones and Francophones want to live as brothers and sisters, then absolute separation is the form of governance. Quizzed on the idea of secession to be included in the dialogue, Cardinal Tumi was blunt that the subject must be included. President Paul Biya, he said cannot deny the will of the people, as the state is not God’s creation. The prelate equally stated that he firmly believes that separation can solve the problem from their research on the field.

Cry My Beloved British Cameroon

The man of God also made it clear that his position has always been a federal system, as he personally fought for it. He however regretted the bad faith of French Cameroun ruling authorities, who neglected the 1996 constitution. To him, effective decentralization would have prevented the conflict. Nostalgic about British Cameroon, the soft-spoken Tumi, decried abuses by the French Cameroun ruling authorities. “I first saw a Policeman with a gun, after unification. Police men had batons in British Cameroon. After unification, we see a police man with a gun, ready to fire, and brutalize”. On the abysmal French judicial system, he decried arbitrary arrests and jailing of people for years without trial. “Everything here is force, force, force. We are not used to that. This country is a different thing”. Cardinal Tumi stated

On the neutrality of the host of the the trumpeted national dialogue, including its chair, Mr. Dion Ngute, of the ruling CPDM party, the Cardinal, called on participants to give him the benefit of doubt. He however warned of chaos if transparency is found wanting. He equally endorsed the presence of the military, claiming the military has played an important role in the conflict.

The conflict it should be recalled started in 2016 as a peaceful demand by people of the former British Southern Cameroon, (an autonomous entity that voted to join an independent French Cameroun in 1961 as two equal partners ) for equality. Their demands were met by the full weight of the French Cameroun military leading to a planned ethnic targeting of the English-speaking people. Till date more than 23,300 people have been killed by the French Cameroun military. (click here for corpses), close to 10,000 homes burnt. (Click here for evidence). Refugees in Nigerian number more than 50,000, while close to 2 million are internally displaced. For three years schools in the British Cameroons have remained ineffective. Worthy of note is the fact that life in French Cameroun has remained unperturbed while their military rape and annihilate villages in British Cameroon. Of all the clamour for talks, the participants have refused to talk about the people killed. According to a victim whose mother was shot by the Cameroun military on her way to church, dialogue should begin by counting the killed. This he said can only be done by a neutral party. It should be noted that despite a call for some sort of talks, the killings in British Cameroon by the French Cameroun military continues. More than 450 have been killed in the past two months.(Click here for evidence )
