You can bury a journalist, but you cannot bury the story. My time behind bars proves to the regime’s fear of the light. We are called anti-state today, but history will record us as the architects of a free and dignified future. Thank you CPJ for your continuous support

[United Nations @UN]

Attacks on journalists are attacks on freedom of expression.

More than ever, we need reliable sources of information and press freedom.

On Sunday's #WorldPressFreedomDay and every day, join @UNESCO in defending journalism and standing up for democracy. https://t.co/oWoAbfOLdz

[UNESCO 🏛️ #Education #Sciences #Culture 🇺🇳 @UNESCO]

Journalism shapes peace.

Access to reliable, verified information is not optional; it is fundamental to building peaceful, just and resilient societies.

When information is manipulated, it fuels division and erodes trust.

When it is free and truthful, it strengthens accountability, fosters dialogue and upholds human rights.

On #WorldPressFreedomDay, @UNESCO calls for the protection of freedom of expression and support for journalism as a pillar of peace.

Reporting is not a crime, yet I have seen nine years pass from prison. As the world talks of freedom,I ask that you don't let our cries fade. Grateful for the support of @freedomhouse & the Fred Hiatt Program. Justice delayed is justice denied. #FreeThemAll #WorldPressFreedomDay

[Tsi Conrad @TsiConrad]

Nine years in a cell can cage a body, but it cannot cage a vision. On this #WPFD, I am reminded that the truth I filmed in 2016 still lives. Thank you @freedomhouse for amplifying my voice while I am silenced. My spirit remains free. #FreeTsiConrad #FreeThemAll

Thank you @freedomhouse. I and thousands of Anglophones/political prisoners in Cameroon need help. The Pope's visit to Cameroon(Bamenda) should bring hope and release to us. We are pained...

@SenatorPenn @TsiConrad Felix Ngalim, Bibixy Mancho & 1000s of others remain in jail unjustly and illegally. Hundreds were arrested in 2017, when protests were peaceful.
Celebrate & support them!

7/7

The legal case is clear:

Without a valid union treaty, without our consent, without respecting international law - La République du Cameroun has ILLEGALLY occupied Ambazonia for 63 years.

The demand for independence is not rebellion. It's RESTORATION of our rights

[Tsi Conrad @TsiConrad]

🧵 THREAD: What Really Happened in 1961?

Most people don't know the truth about Ambazonia's stolen independence. Let me break it down. 👇🏾

1/7

In 1961, Ambazonia (then called Southern Cameroons under British administration) was a UN Trust Territory preparing for independence.

[Tsi Conrad @TsiConrad]

6/7

What happened instead:

1961: La République du Cameroun moved troops in
1972: Abolished the federation through a fraudulent referendum
1961-2024: Systematic oppression, cultural erasure, violence

We never consented to annexation
