Cameroonian forces, trained by US special forces, have suffered another setback at the hands of Ambazonian liberation fighters. The Ambazonian soldiers used advanced explosives to target and destroy a Cameroonian military tank, killing eight government troops on the spot.The incident occurred while Cameroonian President Paul Biya appointed by France and widely described as a long-ruling authoritarian was abroad on a private stay in Europe, funded by Cameroonian taxpayers and supported by Western backers including the UK and France.Analysts following the conflict note that Cameroonian youths continue to die in the fighting, and suggest they will keep doing so until they recognize that they are effectively defending neocolonial interests of France, the UK, and the United States. Only then, the analysts argue, will they turn against the regime in Yaoundé.

Breaking News:
One of the conflicts we are closely covering across the African continent the Cameroon-Ambazonia war has witnessed a sharp escalation just weeks after the Pope @Pontifex visited the region and called for peace by releasing doves into the sky. Reports confirm that Cameroonian government forces attacked a community in Jakiri, northern Ambazonia, k!illing at least 14 people including a pregnant woman while they were attending a cultural event.Analysts closely monitoring the situation describe the Pope’s visit and appeal for peace as purely symbolic and disconnected from reality. They argue that calling for peace without delivering justice for the Ambazonian people, who continue to face severe repression from Cameroon, only fuels further violence and suffering among innocent civilians. As the ancient saying goes:
“If you want peace, prepare for war.”
That is exactly what is happening now, as Ambazonian liberation forces fight for a lasting peace in Ambazonia by resisting the Cameroonian occupation through armed struggle.

BREAKING:
Just hours after Pope Leo (@Pontifex
) arrived in Cameroon carrying a message of peace, Ambazonia liberation forces launched an offensive in the war-torn region. They neutralized three Cameroonian soldiers, whom they accuse of killing civilians with impunity. Human Rights Watch has previously documented widespread abuses by Cameroonian security forces in the area.Analysts say the Pope now has a significant opportunity to call on both Cameroonian authorities and Ambazonian leaders to halt the conflict and pursue genuine negotiations. However, they caution that appeals for peace without addressing justice and the core grievances of the Ambazonian people are likely to be ignored by both sides. The war has already claimed over 50,000 lives, according to Ambazonian sources.
It should be noted that this attack occurred shortly after some Ambazonian groups called for a ceasefire in the wake of Pope Leo’s visit. Ambazonia liberation forces rejected the unilateral ceasefire proposal, insisting that any ceasefire agreement must involve both parties the Ambazonian leadership and the Cameroonian government as a first step toward formal negotiations and a lasting political settlement of the conflict.
Breaking News:
Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex is traveling to Cameroon with a message of peace and is scheduled to hold talks with French poppet Paul Biya. Biya recently returned from medical treatment in Switzerland following the presidential election, which the opposition claims was won by candidate Isaac Tchiroma.
However, Biya was declared the winner by the Constitutional Council, whose members are all appointed by him. A key highlight of the papal visit will be a peace meeting in Bamenda, a city in Ambazonia that has been severely affected by violence for several years.
Historical Context
Ambazonia (the former British Southern Cameroons) gained independence from Britain in 1961 and federated with Cameroon, which had gained conditional independence from France in 1960. Ambazonians argue that this union was later violated when Cameroon allegedly invaded and annexed Ambazonia. Cameroon has had only two presidents since independence Ahmadou Ahidjo and Paul Biya both of whom came to power with strong French backing.
Biya, now 95, has ruled since 1982.The conflict in the Anglophone regions (Ambazonia), which began in 2016–2017, has lasted nearly nine years. Ambazonians are fighting for independence, citing a distinct identity and accusing Cameroonian security forces of committing atrocities and genocide.
During a past visit to Paris, President Biya reportedly acknowledged that his government’s efforts to assimilate the people of the former British Southern Cameroons into a unified Cameroonian identity had failed due to strong resistance and the Ambazonia people Identify.
Criticism of the Visit.
Analysts argue that the Pope’s meeting with Biya serves mainly to legitimize Biya who lost the recent election and lacks popular mandate. They note that the Catholic Church, despite observing the election, did not publicly condemn the outcome.
Critics further contend that calling for “peace” in Bamenda without addressing underlying issues of justice is meaningless. They argue there can be no genuine peace without justice, and accuse the Catholic Church of historically siding with oppressive regimes rather than speaking truth to power.
They also argue that calls for peace, including the planned event in Bamenda, may fall short if issues of justice and political representation are not addressed.
Others point to the historical role of international and religious institutions in political conflicts, questioning whether the visit will include direct calls for accountability or meaningful dialogue between the Cameroun government and the Ambazonia liberation leadership? As a result, the international community is closely watching to see whether the Pope’s engagement will differ from previous diplomatic efforts and whether it will encourage substantive negotiations toward resolving the conflict. @USEmbYaounde
Your take:
Do you think Pope Leo XIV will stand with the oppressed people of Ambazonia in their struggle for justice and self-determination, or will he side with Cameroon and support the continued annexation of Ambazonia?👇👇
The country that supports so many human rights abuse around the world get to lecture African countries about civil rights and human rights. The country that support military coups around the world. A country that support dictatorship and brutality and crimes against humanity should not lecture other countries about human rights, protect protection..
