What some media are saying regarding the British Southern Cameroons / Ambazonia that is politely asking La Republique du Cameroun to unconditionally leave their country. Please do give the video attached below that summaries some of the grievances a couple of minutes. It is a recent presentation by Aljazeera Television. The British Southern Cameroons, the former Trust Territory of the UNO under the British Administration, [map attached below], wants to revert to its political independence that it had known from 1954-1961 before things went awry not of their making. Attempts to right the wrongs and to be politically independent as any other UNO trust territory by peaceful demonstrations have been met by aggression by La Republique du Cameroun, a former UN trust territory under the French administration in Western Africa with abutting international boundary.

| This is the locational map and some of the national groups (tribes) that form the British Southern Cameroons / Ambazonia |
The pressure of the incompatibility of the Anglo-Saxon and Gallicised or French cultures in the British Southern Cameroons due to their rocky alliance with La Republique du Cameroun, that had been ignored for long, has reached such a boiling tipping point. Citizens of The British Southern Cameroons are not taking the injustices anymore. Peaceful demonstrations by their civil lawyers, educationists, nurses, taxi drivers, students and others of all walks of life are brutally met by savage forces of the La Republique du Cameroun.
The English-speaking citizens of the British Southern Cameroons have been reduced to second class citizens in their country of birth, denied jobs and barefacedly marginalized because of their historical heritage. Besides, citizens of the country La Republique du Cameroun imposing itself on them have been hauling invectives on them as 'Anglo fools', morons and so on and cannot take them anymore. When they say Anglo-fools they are abusing the British too who created the British Southern Cameroons and gave its the Anglo culture. For the sake of peace and future generations in that part of the world and Africa at large, the two countries better separate and run their governments independently. This could evade the sorts of bitter scenarios we witnessed and are still witnessing in the South Sudan and Eritrea where battles were fought for scores of years before the political independence. Many died in the struggles and there are still loses of lives, destruction of properties and disruption of economic progress. Other internecine wars in Africa of the Rwandan type should not be tolerated by the world governing bodies and peace-loving peoples for whatever reasons. Of what good is intervention after mayhem?

The fight by La Republique du Cameroun to hang on to the British Southern Cameroons/Ambazonia is not out of love but for very selfish reasons. The resources of the British Southern Cameroons, oil, gas, gold, iron ore, valuable hard woods, agricultural produce are being exploited by La Republique du Cameroun for their economic development and advancements at the expense of those of the British Southern Cameroons. They advance all sorts of ruses that the British Southern Cameroons belong to La Republique du Cameroun and they are in one country and that is false. A city like Bamenda where must of demonstrations were held has not a single manufacturing industry. When foreign companies opt to establish industries there as the Chinese automobile assembly they are denied access by the invading country. The Turkish airline would have preferred using the Bamenda airport in Ambzonia/British Southern Cameroons but the La Repulique du Cameroun (LRC) government would not allow. The South Korean companies wanted to cultivate rice and teach improved techniques of cultivation to the locals in the northern part of Ambazonia but this government would not allow them. These are not fair treatments. The established fact is that La Republique du Cameroun had ever had invidious plans to cripple Ambazonians economy so as to manipulate them indefinitely. Why would they be dictating to the foreign companies where to do their businesses in the country? As for rice production, the Yaounde Government preferred them to establish around Yaounde where the climatic conditions are not conducive for rice production and 'intelligent' people are crooked. Jejune peoples are not necessarily stupid as they imply.
The infrastructures in the British Southern Cameroons / Ambazonia are the worst in the two countries. Why would Ambazonia want to have anything to do with such a country after almost 56 years of failed relationship? Would you readers? If you could then you are considered as a fool as the Anglo-fools, the citizens of the British Southern Cameroons.
If two identical in status UNO trust territories decided to come together for an experimental union in 1961, a grievous mistake, it did or does not mean that one has to accept a subordinate position to the extent of surrendering its natural resources for nothing, be marginalized and give up its culture, the English language, educational and legal systems, its army and many more for up to 56 years. It is no doubt that la Republique du Cameroun call Ambazonians, "Anglo fools" or their euphemism for fools, 'Bamendan' and others call them Biafrans. Very provocative!!
Also, it does not mean that one of the partners, the British Southern Cameroons because of it is lesser in population, has to accept to be assimilated. When asked or suggested to dialogue by successive Secretary Generals of the UNO, Banki Moon and Kofi Annan, La Republique du Cameroun threaten them and fire at peaceful demonstrators with live bullets, teargas them and call them thugs. Can lawyers demonstrating amicably against assimilation and marginalization suddenly be referred to as thugs and vandals? Those are signs of denial of the truth and savagery enshrined in the invading country's old national anthem.
