Breaking News: Four Soldiers Killed in Separatist Ambush in Bambili
At least four Cameroonian soldiers were killed and several others injured early this morning in Bambili, following a deadly ambush by separatist fighters, in what marks yet another tragic escalation of the Anglophone crisis.
The exact circumstances surrounding the attack remain unclear, but reports indicate that security forces have since secured the area, and an investigation is underway to determine the full details of the incident.
Authorities have not yet released the identities of the fallen soldiers or provided further information about the nature of the assault. The attack highlights the continuing volatility and insecurity in the North-West Region, where clashes between government forces and armed separatists persist despite repeated calls for dialogue.
This comes as the Biya regime, which has mismanaged the crisis for over 9 years, is seeking a continuation after falsified election results from the English-speaking regions

So Cameroon's Prez Biya is getting a Vice President-the first since 1972. How wise is taking the position since the VP would be the designated successor to the 92 year old Prez. S/he would wear a huge target for the sharks circling and waiting for the end

Address to the Nation
Leadership was tested in the past, it is being tested today, and it will be tested tomorrow. But the Ambazonia War of Liberation endures until unconditional sovereignty is achieved.
Very disappointed to see US Embassy Yaoundé send congratulations to Cameroon Govt. Of course, reading between the lines I note the congratulations to Biya was on his inauguration not "election." I can't imagine anyone calling it an election! A joke!

Many Cameroonians believe that Paul Biya’s swearing-in on November 6, 2025, marks the end of the post-election crisis — but history shows that a swearing-in is not the decider of legitimacy. Across Africa, there are powerful precedents proving that the truth of the ballot can prevail even after an incumbent is declared winner and sworn in.
In The Gambia (2016), Yahya Jammeh tried to cling to power after losing to Adama Barrow — even organising his own swearing-in — but was later forced out after regional pressure confirmed the real results. In Côte d’Ivoire (2010), both Laurent Gbagbo and Alassane Ouattara were sworn in, yet international recognition and internal resistance led to Ouattara taking office. And in Malawi (2019), the Constitutional Court annulled an election already won and sworn in by the incumbent, paving the way for opposition leader Lazarus Chakwera’s victory in a re-run.
These examples show that being declared winner and taking the oath of office do not make a leader legitimate — only the truth of the people’s vote does. Cameroon’s case fits this pattern. Evidence gathered by civil society and independent observers suggests that Issa Tchiroma Bakary won the October 12, 2025 election, but the Constitutional Council — known for its loyalty to the ruling CPDM — handed victory to Paul Biya, extending his 43-year rule.
Peaceful protesters calling for truth were met with deadly repression, leaving nearly 50 civilians dead. Yet the people’s response — from nationwide ville morte protests to growing international attention — shows that this story is far from over.
As this analysis reveals, the swearing-in is not the end, but the beginning of a deeper struggle — for truth, legitimacy, and the restoration of the people’s mandate. Just as in The Gambia, Côte d’Ivoire, and Malawi, the lesson is clear: the ballot may be delayed, but it cannot be denied.

The corrupt Biya regime in Cameroon hunts its political opponents, enables Wagner’s illicit activities, and has created conditions for jihadist groups like Boko Haram and ISIS to thrive and fuel the Anglophone crisis. The regime has staged a sham re-election, and unlawfully detained Americans citizens, including those from Idaho. Cameroon is not a U.S. partner, and poses economic and security risks to the American people. It’s time to reassess this relationship before the blowback gets worse.
Chairman @SenateForeign Risch condemns the Biya regime for its sham election, unlawful detention of U.S. citizens (including Idahoans), enabling Wagner’s illicit activities, hunting political opponents, & letting the Anglophone crisis persist. Warns the regime threatens U.S. interests & calls for a review of the bilateral relationship.
I think we need to stop calling sham tragicomedies like what happened in Cameroon, Tanzania, and sadly Ivory Coast "elections"! Anyone have a good word which could describe such theater which happens purely to check a box to keep getting international aid?
Cameroon opposition leader Issa Tchiroma Bakary said on Friday he had been escorted to a secure location by soldiers loyal to him for his protection, a move that could signal a split within the army following a disputed election. https://t.co/Iml9LCp5LF
For those wondering why US Govt hasn't commented on recent elections-recall that White House declared some months back that US will stop commenting on foreign elections. This does not mean that US won't take some other action, but fact is - statements never achieved much.
Re Cameroon - I guess the Biya regime has run this script so many times it's second nature to them. Make sure Biya is declared "winner" by handpicked election commission; intimidate and arrest opposition figures who protest; wait out public outrage; start over. Eight times now!
