The Ambazonia Crisis: A Call for Action – Human Rights Submission to the European Union by the Pan African Forum UK
The Pan African Forum UK has submitted a formal human rights submission to the European Union, addressing the escalating crisis in Ambazonia and the complicity of European corporations in enabling Cameroon’s government. This submission serves as a call to the international community to take action against the systemic killings, forced displacements, and widespread human rights abuses that have afflicted Ambazonia for over seven years.
The submission details the severe impact of Cameroon’s actions on Ambazonian communities. Over 1 million people have been displaced, thousands killed, and countless villages destroyed in a brutal campaign of violence. The submission outlines the following key demands:
1️⃣ **Peace Talks**: The facilitation of inclusive negotiations involving representatives of the Ambazonian people as equal stakeholders.
2️⃣ **Sanctions**: Targeted sanctions against the Biya regime for its ongoing human rights violations, including mass killings, the burning of villages, and the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war.
3️⃣ **Humanitarian Support**: Immediate aid to alleviate the suffering of displaced Ambazonians, many of whom live in dire conditions without access to food, healthcare, or education.
4️⃣ **Corporate Accountability**: Investigations and penalties for European corporations such as Norway’s Inrigo AS, which have been implicated in unethical business practices that fuel the conflict and empower Cameroon’s oppressive regime.
The Pan African Forum UK also highlights the role of European countries and businesses in supporting Cameroon’s regime through exploitative energy and resource deals. These partnerships have enabled the government to perpetrate systematic violence while ignoring calls for accountability.
The submission calls out the silence of the international community in the face of documented atrocities. Reports from organizations such as the United Nations and Amnesty International confirm the widespread use of scorched-earth tactics, arbitrary arrests, and the targeting of civilians, including women and children. This silence, the Pan African Forum argues, must end.
The European Union, in particular, is urged to take decisive action. As a body that champions human rights globally, the EU cannot afford to ignore the documented complicity of European corporations or the worsening humanitarian crisis in Ambazonia. Failure to act would undermine its commitment to justice and accountability.
📢 **To the European Union**: Impose sanctions on the Biya regime and ensure European corporations are held accountable for their role in enabling these crimes.
📢 **To African leaders**: Stand in solidarity with Ambazonia’s plight and advocate for the protection of fundamental human rights.
📢 **To the global community**: Break the silence and prioritize justice for the Ambazonian people.
The Pan African Forum UK’s submission is not just a document; it is a moral and legal challenge to the conscience of global and regional powers. The Ambazonian people’s calls for justice must be heard, and the perpetrators of these crimes must be held accountable.

CAMEROUN: A TYRANNICAL REGIME AT WAR WITH HUMAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOM**
Cameroun has once again revealed its true face as a tyrannical regime that crushes dissent and silences any voice that dares to challenge its oppression. The latest victim is **Richard Tamfu**, a prominent human rights lawyer, who was **brutally beaten by gendarmes** while courageously defending a client. This is not an isolated incident but part of a systematic campaign to suppress free speech, dismantle press freedom, and eliminate dissent.
For decades, the people of Cameroun and Southern Cameroons have endured the wrath of a regime that views justice, accountability, and human rights as threats to its survival. Reports from credible bodies like the **United Nations Committee Against Torture (CAT)** have repeatedly condemned Cameroun for its horrifying record of **arbitrary arrests**, **torture**, and **inhumane treatment** of anyone who dares to speak out. The CAT report highlights that **Cameroun routinely uses violence to silence human rights defenders, journalists, and activists**, ensuring that no narrative but its own reaches the world.
**Press censorship in Cameroun** is another glaring testament to its authoritarianism. Independent journalists are harassed, detained, or forced into exile. Media outlets that refuse to toe the government’s line are shut down, while international organizations attempting to document these abuses are obstructed. Cameroun is effectively a **graveyard for press freedom**, where dissenting voices are treated as enemies of the state.
The assault on Richard Tamfu is not just an attack on an individual but a deliberate attempt to send a chilling message to anyone who dares to stand up for justice. This is the same regime that brutally suppresses protests, hunts down activists, and orchestrates **genocidal violence in Ambazonia**, as highlighted by the **AGovC and other human rights organizations.** Cameroun’s actions prove that it is a nation run by impunity, using its power to terrorize citizens rather than protect them.
We must ask the **international community**: How long will Cameroun be allowed to trample on human rights without consequences? How long will global powers watch in silence as journalists, lawyers, and ordinary citizens are beaten, arrested, or murdered for demanding justice?
It is time to hold Cameroun accountable for its relentless attacks on freedom of speech, human rights, and the rule of law. Let the world stand in solidarity with the courageous voices who continue to speak truth to power, even in the face of unimaginable repression.

Norway’s Human Rights Hypocrisy: A Blatant Abuse of Justice
Yesterday, Dr. Cho Ayaba, leader of the Ambazonian War of Liberation, faced a hearing marking the end of an unjust four-week detention extension. Norwegian authorities had argued they needed more time to investigate and prevent evidence tampering—yet in two months, despite seizing his gadgets, ransacking his home, and traumatizing his children by interrogating them in school, they have found no proof of wrongdoing.
In an outrageous turn of events, his detention has been extended yet again for another four weeks, citing the same baseless excuse of “evidence tampering.” This shameless overreach by @kriposnews, sanctioned by Norwegian institutions, is a betrayal of the human rights standards Norway claims to uphold.
Norway, @justisdep, @NorwayMFA, and @NorwayUN, must answer for this appalling abuse of justice. The actions of KRIPOS**—including coercive questioning of children to fabricate claims against their father—are not only inhumane but politically motivated. Norway’s complicity in suppressing Dr. Ayaba aligns it with oppressive regimes like Cameroon, whose crimes include the slaughter of **30,000 Ambazonians.
This case lays bare the hypocrisy of Norway’s “justice system” and @politinorge, where laws are selectively applied for political expediency. As a member of the @coe, Norway has a responsibility to protect human rights, yet it now undermines these values in exchange for economic and diplomatic favors. Norway’s actions further diminish its global credibility and tarnish its moral standing as a human rights champion.
We call upon global justice defenders—**@UN_HRC**, @IntlCrimCourt, @amnesty, @hrw, and the Council of Europe—to hold Norway accountable and demand an immediate end to this unlawful detention. Norway must release Dr. Ayaba unconditionally and restore its commitment to the rule of law.
To Norway’s leadership, including @jonasgahrs and @Kriminalomsorg: every day of this baseless detention erodes your standing in the international community. How can Norway claim to uphold freedom when it trades human rights for political convenience?
The world is watching. Release Dr. Ayaba now.

**Demand for the Immediate Release of Dr. Cho Ayaba**
Tomorrow marks the end of an unjust four-week extension of detention for Dr. Cho Ayaba by Norwegian authorities—a detention now stretching beyond two months without conviction. Despite seizing all his gadgets, conducting random home searches, and even resorting to extreme measures like intimidating his children through the school system, the authorities have **found no evidence** against him.
In their desperate attempts, Norwegian investigators pressured Dr. Ayaba’s children to provide false testimony against their father, trying to paint him as a hostile parent. These efforts have not only failed but have traumatized the children, exposing the lengths to which the authorities will go in their unjust persecution.
The rationale for extending his detention was to prevent potential tampering with evidence. Yet, after exhaustive searches and investigations, there is **no evidence** to support any wrongdoing. Holding him further is a clear violation of his human rights and undermines the principles of justice Norway claims to uphold.
We demand the immediate release of Dr. Cho Ayaba. Continuing this baseless detention is a grave injustice, damaging Norway’s reputation as a defender of human rights. It’s time for Norwegian authorities, including **@NorwayMFA**, **@NorwegianPM**, **@jonasgahrs**, and **@NorwayUN**, to act in accordance with their legal obligations and release him without delay. The world is watching, and the integrity of international human rights is at stake.
We call upon global **justice and human rights advocates**, **freedom fighters**, and **human rights organizations** such as **@amnesty**, **@hrw**, and **@IntlCrimCourt**, along with **EU institutions** like **@EU_Commission**, **@Europarl_EN**, and the **Council of Europe (@coe)**, as well as **@InhumanRights**, to stand with us and demand Dr. Ayaba’s immediate release. Norway must remember that respect for human rights is a foundational value, and international voices of conscience must come together to ensure these principles are upheld.

"The Fight for Freedom and Justice: Norway’s Complicity in Detaining Dr. Cho Ayaba exposed”
Today, we stand in disbelief as Norway, a nation renowned for its commitment to human rights, chooses to disregard its own legal principles and the core values of the European Union. The detention of Dr. Cho Ayaba, a recognized liberator and leader of the Ambazonia War of Liberation, not only violates international law but also stains Norway’s credibility on the global stage. By prioritizing economic interests over human rights, Norway has chosen the path of complicity in the suppression of a legitimate struggle for self-determination.
How is it that Cameroon’s agents—responsible for the slaughter of over **30,000 Ambazonian people**—roam freely, while a man fighting for freedom and justice is unjustly detained? This blatant disregard for the right to liberation is an attack on the values the UN Charter was built upon. If the United Nations and its member states fail to act according to the rules set by their founding fathers, they risk dismantling the very principles of human dignity they claim to uphold.
The world watches as material gain and economic deals are placed above humanity. How else can we explain the silence of the international community, especially the UN, over the last **eight years** of systematic killings orchestrated by Paul Biya’s regime in Cameroon? Norway’s current actions are a stark reminder that we must not allow political convenience to overshadow justice.
We demand the immediate release of Dr. Cho Ayaba. His detention is not only unlawful but represents an egregious affront to the ideals of freedom and human rights. It is time for the global community to take a stand, to respect the fundamental rights of those fighting against tyranny, and to ensure that international laws are enforced impartially, without bending to political and economic pressures.
To Norway’s authorities, we say: Release Dr. Cho Ayaba now and restore your credibility as a nation that stands for justice and human rights. Anything less is a betrayal of the very laws you claim to uphold.

"Silence is Complicity: Calling Out Cameroon’s Atrocities Against Ambazonia and the World’s Failure to Act"
Cameroon’s systematic atrocities against the people of Ambazonia have reached a horrifying threshold. These acts, brutal in nature and deliberate in execution, represent grave breaches of international humanitarian law. Yet, the silence of the international community grows louder each day, emboldening Cameroon to continue these violations unchecked.
The following incidents highlight the depth of Cameroon’s cruelty:
On September 3, 2024, in Mbatu Nsongwa Village, Bamenda, Cameroonian occupation forces mercilessly shot and killed four civilians on a motorcycle. Among the innocent lives lost were Bih Vivian, a mother of four, and Pancho, a bike rider who leaves behind a pregnant wife. These lives were taken without reason, leaving families shattered.
Just days later, on September 8, 2024, in Pamol Lobe, Ekondo-Titi, two bike riders met the same brutal fate, gunned down by Cameroonian forces in a blatant violation of the Geneva Conventions. In Bamenda that same day, Mr. T-Pain, another civilian, was targeted and killed solely because of his Ambazonian identity.
Also, on September 8, 2024, Cameroonian forces conducted a mass abduction in Bamenda, Mezam State, targeting innocent Ambazonian citizens, including women and children. Such large-scale abductions of non-combatants are undeniable war crimes.
On September 9, 2024, Cameroonian forces were implicated in numerous crimes across Ambazonia. They abducted, raped, extorted, and unlawfully detained civilians in a calculated assault on human dignity, further revealing their disregard for humanitarian law.
September 17, 2024: In Babanki, Bamenda, an innocent young woman, on her way home from a burial, was murdered alongside two others by Cameroonian forces. This indiscriminate violence highlights Cameroon’s intent to terrorize Ambazonians at every opportunity.
The horror continued on September 18, 2024, in Bamali, Ndop State, where Cameroonian forces abducted and killed Mr. Herbert by dragging him behind a truck, claiming he was a suspected Ambazonian fighter—a claim denied by witnesses.
Again , on September 20, 2024, in Bamenda, Mezam State, a taxi driver was brutally abducted, tortured, and murdered by Cameroonian forces. His death, like so many others, is a blatant violation of Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, yet it remains unaddressed.
Each of these incidents is a cry for justice, a call for accountability. Cameroon’s occupation forces have committed acts that fit the definitions of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Civilians, who are protected under international law, have been murdered, abducted, and tortured under Cameroon’s brutal regime. The question is: Why does the international community remain silent in the face of such cruelty?
The world has witnessed the signs of impending crises before, only to regret later inaction.
To remain silent is to be complicit. The international community must respond, not with words but with actions that hold Cameroon accountable. The ongoing brutality in Ambazonia demands immediate intervention to prevent further atrocities and to protect the rights and lives of Ambazonians

Norway’s Dirty Deal: Profits Over Human Lives – How Inrigo AS and Norway Betray Human Rights to Protect Cameroon’s Brutal Regime!
Here's the updated version with the company name included and their Twitter handle:
Norway’s actions reveal a glaring hypocrisy that the world must confront. While they champion human rights on the world stage, they willingly abandon these principles when it serves their economic interests.
The recent 49 billion FCFA contract between the Norwegian company Inrigo AS (@InrigoAS) and Cameroon exposes why Norway colluded with France and Cameroon to target Dr. Cho Ayaba—a human rights advocate and freedom fighter for Ambazonia, whose only crime is calling out Cameroon’s systematic oppression and brutality of the people of Ambazonia.
This isn’t just about Norway. It’s about a global pattern, where Western nations preach values of freedom, justice, and the rule of law but betray these ideals in their scramble for influence and profit in Africa.
Norway’s choice to side with a regime notorious for human rights abuses speaks volumes about its true priorities. They protect their financial interests, partnering with dictators and tyrants while silencing those who stand up for oppressed people.
The international community must confront this hypocrisy. Why are countries like Norway allowed to lecture the world on human rights while they actively support oppressive regimes? Why are they silent about Cameroon’s systematic killings, forced disappearances, and silencing of activists? Norway, France, and other allies shield Cameroon from accountability, sacrificing African lives to protect their economic interests.
Where are the so-called defenders of international law? The same Europe that pressures smaller nations to adhere to human rights obligations stands by when one of its own acts in direct contradiction. This selective morality exposes the rotten core of their human rights rhetoric.
Let this serve as a reminder: Africa sees through this façade. We see how Western nations exploit our resources, undermine our freedom fighters, and back tyrants for profit. The world cannot stand silent while Norway uses its influence to silence Dr. Ayaba and countless others.
It’s time for global leaders to hold Norway and Inrigo AS accountable—not just for their words, but for their actions.

It's not an Order but a plea to Norway to respect its position in the World of Human rights and let free Dr. Cho Lucas Ayaba to continue fighting for his people of which he has been doing so well. He carries the whole Nation of Southern Cameroons( Ambazonia) on his Shoulders.
**Open Letter to the Government of Norway: Condemnation of Hypocrisy in Supporting Cameroon's Occupation of Ambazonia**
The Government of Norway has consistently demonstrated its commitment to human rights, as evidenced by your strong stance against Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine. Your call for Norwegian companies to refrain from any business activities that could perpetuate Israel’s occupation and your support for Palestine's sovereignty are commendable. However, this same moral clarity is appallingly absent in your dealings with Cameroun, as your government continues to align itself with a regime that illegally occupies Ambazonia.
It is staggering to witness such blatant hypocrisy from a government that, in 1961, voted in favor of the independence of Southern Cameroons through UN Res.1608. How can Norway, which once supported our right to self-determination, now turn its back on the very people it once endorsed? Ambazonia’s quest for independence is not new; it is a continuation of the struggle for the same freedom that Norway and other nations recognized decades ago. How, then, is your government today actively working with Cameroon to suppress and silence those fighting for the same independence you supported?
Cameroon’s illegal occupation of Ambazonia is no different from the occupation you so rightly oppose in Palestine. Yet, Norway not only remains silent but is complicit in Cameroon’s reign of terror over Ambazonians. Leaders like Dr. Cho Ayaba, who have risen to defend the rights of Ambazonians, are being unjustly persecuted, and Norway has done nothing but aid Cameroon in its attempt to crush this legitimate struggle. Dr. Ayaba remains unjustly held by Norwegian authorities in complicity with Cameroon, simply for standing up for his people’s right to freedom.
Your government’s stance is not just morally indefensible—it is deeply hypocritical. As you call out Israel for its human rights violations, you continue to work hand-in-glove with a regime that has inflicted years of violence, torture, and genocide on the people of Ambazonia. Where is Norway’s outrage for the thousands of Ambazonians who have been slaughtered? Where is Norway’s concern for the leaders who have been silenced, jailed, and exiled, simply for seeking the freedom that you once recognized?
Norway cannot claim to stand for justice in Palestine while simultaneously endorsing Cameroon’s oppression of Ambazonia. You cannot demand respect for international law in one case while blatantly ignoring it in another. This selective application of justice is a betrayal of the very principles Norway claims to uphold on the global stage.
It is time for Norway to end its complicity in Cameroon’s illegal occupation of Ambazonia. It is time for Norway to demand the immediate release of Dr. Cho Ayaba and all other Ambazonian leaders who are being persecuted for defending their people's right to freedom. Norway must stop its hypocrisy and selective justice. The people of Ambazonia deserve the same recognition and support that Norway has given to Palestine. Your double standards have only prolonged our suffering and emboldened a regime that thrives on bloodshed.
The international community is watching, and Norway’s actions will not go unnoticed.

**Norwegian Government: Respect Human Rights and Rule of Law – Release Dr. Cho Ayaba**
Dr. Cho Ayaba’s arrest on Sept 24, 2024, for alleged incitement of crimes against humanity in Cameroon is a violation of his rights. For nearly a month, Dr. Ayaba has been unjustly detained without conviction, in clear political persecution aided by Cameroon’s regime.
Norway’s actions violate the **European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)**:
1. **Article 5** – Right to liberty and security. Dr. Ayaba’s prolonged detention without evidence is unlawful.
2. Article 6– Right to a fair trial within a reasonable time.
3. Article 10– Freedom of expression. His arrest is an attack on his right to speak out against Cameroon’s human rights violations.
This also violates the **International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR)**:
1. Article 9– Right to liberty and security.
2. Article 19– Right to freedom of opinion and expression.
Under **Norwegian law**, **Section 94** of the Constitution protects against unlawful deprivation of liberty. By law, no one can be held for more than **48 hours** without being brought before a judge (**Section 183, Criminal Procedure Act**), yet Dr. Ayaba remains in detention without justification.
Norway must uphold its legal obligations. Dr. Ayaba is being persecuted for peaceful advocacy against a brutal regime. Norway must act now to prevent further injustice and release Dr. Ayaba immediately.
#FreeChoAyaba #HumanRights #Norway
We urge the Norwegian authorities to recognize Dr. Ayaba’s vital work in advocating for the rights of the marginalized and to hold those truly accountable for these violations. Justice must prevail!

Dear Norwegian Secret Police Services,
We write to express grave concern and strong objection to the detention of Dr. Cho Lucas Ayaba for prolonged questioning without adequate preliminary investigations. This action violates international criminal justice procedures and fundamental human rights.
Your actions contravene Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, ensuring individuals' liberty and security. The United Nations Human Rights Committee emphasizes the importance of prompt judicial review of detention (CCPR/C/GC/35).
Furthermore, the French Code of Criminal Procedure (Articles 40, 80 and 80-1) underscores the prosecutor's role in determining the validity of complaints and the investigating judge's responsibility to ensure due process ¹.
Key concerns:
- *Lack of Preliminary Investigations*: Failure to conduct timely, thorough investigations prior to detention.
- *Infringement on Liberty*: Protracted questioning without judicial oversight.
- *Disregard for International Law*: Non-compliance with UN human rights conventions.
We demand:
1. Immediate judicial review of Dr. Ayaba's detention.
2. Disclosure of allegations and evidence.
3. Assurance of humane treatment and access to legal counsel.
Respect for human rights and international law is paramount. We expect swift action.
Dr Ayaba Cho Lucas is a public figure and social change activists whose activities are well known. He is a renown human rights defender with particular focus on the rights of Ambazonians who are victims of a 64 years long undocumented and under reported Cameroun genocide in Ambazonia.
Dr Ayaba Cho Lucas is a victim of the genocide who has been like most Ambazonians incited into self-defense actions due to the genocide unleashed on Ambazonian freedom fighters with impunity and for so long. The genocide which is aimed at hiding the annexation and recolonization of Ambazonia due to a UN botched recolonization process in 1961 has been acknowledged by international human rights organizations, the US Congress, World Bank and the University of Oxford, Britain.
No person or people under the sun can witness firsthand or undergo the genocide in Ambazonia and succumb to it without rebellion. Norway must not join the international conspirators against the victims of the genocide in Ambazonia and her sovereignty rights but should look for ways of implementing justice as per the international engagement of the responsibility to protect victims and bring the long standing conflict between Cameroun and Ambazonia to a close.
References:
¹ INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE. Annexes. French Code of Criminal Procedure.
International law does provide principles justifying preliminary investigations before arresting or detaining suspects:
1. *Presumption of Innocence*: Assume innocence until proven guilty (Article 14, ICCPR).
2. *Right to Liberty*: Protect against arbitrary arrest and detention (Article 9, ICCPR).
3. *Due Process*: Ensure fair trial and judicial review (Article 14, ICCPR).
Preliminary investigations should:
1. Verify allegations.
2. Gather evidence.
3. Establish probable cause.
This ensures that detention is lawful, reasonable and respects human rights.

**⚖️⚖️⚖️Paul Biya: Africa’s Second-Longest Serving Tyrant and the Brutal Oppressor of Ambazonia**
Paul Biya of Cameroon, Africa’s second-longest-serving president, came to power on March 6, 1982. For over 42 years, he has thrived on tyranny, oppression, corruption, and manipulation.
His regime silences and crushes any opposition through brutal means—those who dare challenge him, like John Fru Ndi and Maurice Kamto, have faced house arrest, mysterious disappearances, or forced exile. Biya’s rule is built on fear, violence, and the systematic elimination of dissent.
Since 1961, Cameroon has persecuted Ambazonia with brutal impunity. Under Biya’s leadership, the situation has only worsened, as his regime continues its campaign of senseless massacres, summary executions, and community destruction. Ambazonian leaders who have stood up against this tyranny have been hunted down, imprisoned, or killed. Those who survived are forced into exile, living as fugitives simply for seeking justice.
From 2016 to now, the Biya regime has executed over 30,000 Ambazonians, displaced more than 1.5 million internally, and turned over 1.3 million into refugees. Villages have been burned to the ground, and arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearances are daily occurrences. The international community's failure to hold Biya accountable is a disgrace and a betrayal of its moral and legal responsibilities to prevent atrocities.
To make matters worse, with the help of Norwegian authorities, Paul Biya’s regime has targeted Dr. Cho Ayaba—a freedom fighter, human rights defender, and advocate for justice—by arresting him, portraying itself as the victim while it is, in fact, the oppressor.
It’s time for the world to act and end the reign of terror that Biya’s dictatorship has inflicted on the people of Ambazonia.
The international community must intervene now to stop these crimes against humanity and serve justice to the people of Ambazonia .
The detention of Dr Cho Ayaba, undermines the principles of international law and human rights that Norway stands for.

Dr. Cho Ayaba, a beacon of hope and resilience for the Ambazonian people, has been unjustly arrested by Norwegian authorities at the behest of Cameroon.

Now, he needs our help more than ever.
This fund drive is not just about one man; it’s about standing united against injustice and affirming our commitment to the rights of all Ambazonians. Dr. Ayaba’s fight is our fight, and his courage should inspire us to act.

My heart is heavy as I write this; the weight of our pain is immeasurable. I struggled to find the words, but we must speak for our mothers, our families, and our communities. We must present their pain and anguish to the world, for their suffering must not go unnoticed.
This morning, 8 innocent Ambazonian lives were brutally taken by Cameroon’s military, authorized by Divisional Officer Okalai Bilai in the Northern Zone. Over 50 people are missing, while others have been arbitrarily arrested without due process—simply for being young Ambazonian men. The Cameroon military has unleashed a wave of terror, burning homes, killing civilians, and conducting systematic arrests.
Where is the international community's voice when Cameroon commits these atrocities? Why is Dr. Cho Ayaba, a staunch defender of Ambazonian rights, unjustly arrested by Norwegian authorities under Cameroon’s influence, accused of incitement, while Paul Biya's regime continues its genocide in Ambazonia with impunity?
This is a massacre—a calculated attempt to annihilate the Ambazonian people. We demand to know why the world stays silent. Where are the global condemnations for the mass arrests, the extrajudicial killings, the systematic destruction of Ambazonian communities, and the gross violations of human rights and international law?
Why is Cameroon not being held accountable, while any voice daring to challenge its systematic killings and human rights violations is hunted, arrested, and forced into exile? Why are those who speak out against injustice targeted, while the perpetrators walk free?
Why does the international community prioritize conflicts like Ukraine and Palestine while turning a blind eye to the genocide and thousands of lives lost in Ambazonia? Is there a political interest in our deaths? Ambazonians will not be silenced. We call on the world to uphold justice, condemn these atrocities, and hold Cameroon accountable for its crimes against humanity.

**CALL TO ACTION: PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATION IN OSLO, NORWAY**
We call on all Ambazonians, Biafrans, and freedom-loving people around the world to join us in Oslo, Norway, to demand the immediate release of Dr. Cho Ayaba. Dr. Ayaba, a courageous freedom fighter and human rights activist, has been unjustly detained by Norwegian authorities. This is an attack on justice and a betrayal of the values that Norway and the international community stand for.
Dr. Ayaba has dedicated his life to defending the rights and freedoms of oppressed people. He has consistently fought for justice, peace, and human rights in Ambazonia, risking his life to stand against the brutal regime of La République du Cameroun. While he is held captive, Cameroon—a state that is guilty of genocide, extrajudicial killings, gross human rights violations, torture, imprisonment, extortion, and enforced disappearances—continues to roam freely, dining with world powers and escaping accountability for its crimes.
We cannot remain silent when those who fight for freedom and justice are persecuted, while the true perpetrators of violence and oppression enjoy impunity. It is time to rise, unite, and peacefully demonstrate our unwavering support for Dr. Cho Ayaba.
Join us in Oslo to show the world that we will not tolerate injustice. Together, we demand his immediate release and an end to the persecution of those who stand for human rights and freedom.

We call upon the international community to urgently turn its attention to the ongoing genocide in Ambazonia. When world leaders declared "Never Again" after the horrors of the Rwandan genocide, they reaffirmed their commitment to uphold the 1948 *Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide*.
This commitment was not merely a slogan, but a binding obligation under international law.
We remind world leaders of their duties under the *Responsibility to Protect* (R2P), a principle endorsed at the 2005 *World Summit*, which requires states to protect populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing, and crimes against humanity.
We call on them to invoke R2P for the people of Ambazonia, as these atrocities fall squarely within the international community’s mandate to prevent.
The principle of R2P exists to prevent mass atrocities, and its application must not be selective. As enshrined in the *Universal Declaration of Human Rights* (1948) and the *International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights* (1966), the right to life and freedom from arbitrary violence is universal. What is deemed essential for the West must equally apply to Africa.
The perpetrators of genocide in Cameroon cannot be allowed to walk freely on the international stage, enjoying impunity while continuing their crimes. Cameroon must be held accountable under the *Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC)*, which criminalizes war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity.
Stop shielding a dictator at the expense of innocent lives—women, children, and young people cut down in their prime. Invoke R2P now. The silence of the international community violates not only moral duty but international law, as outlined in the *Geneva Conventions*, which protect civilians in conflict zones. This silence is why we fight for our right to self-defense, and why Dr. Cho Ayaba leads the struggle to protect his defenseless people.
We ask for justice and action—consistent with the international legal frameworks that demand it.
JUSTICE FOR DR CHO AYABA!
