Une patrouille de l'armée est tombée dans une embuscade des #AmbaBoys ce soir, 16/09/2020, à #Sabga dans la zone de #Ndop: 09 soldats tués, 02 blindés détruits et 09 armes récupérées.

L'embuscade a été tendue par plus de 200 séparatistes #Ambazonia. Plusieurs d'entre eux arborraient des uniformes de l'armée.
En plus de #NoPity, au moins deux autres chefs rebelles de groupes séparatistes ont été aperçu sur les images de l'embuscade tendue par les #AmbaBoys. Ça justifie pourquoi il y a eu autant de combattants #Ambazonia au lieu de l'embuscade (plus de 200).

#AmbaBoys:The Poisoned Chalice of #SouthernCameroons.These Boys had no jobs.Some idling around. Barely surviving. Had little or no economic/social pwr. Had certificates & no jobs. Rode Okada, taxi or did odd jobs to make ends meet. Some were farmers.Others hd petty business.Etc
Today, bcos of govt's brutal repression of legit peaceful protests in 2016/2017, the indiscriminate killing
&abduction of young men by #Cameroon soldiers, loss of their main sources of income, they hv all but a few become members of armed militia. Sponsored mainly by diaspora
Today the populations hail them. The diaspora arms them. Activists report their gains,losses& deaths(sacrifice as its called) The govt potrays some as heros for laying down arms and choosing peace. #Cameroon govt has even formed &armed its own #AmbaBoys. What abt the longterm?

@ChimamandaReal the Nigerian novelist captures this sad tale: The carnage of the #Cameroons:
A story about an African nation’s fatal disregard of its minority population. A story about the muddled sludge of colonial history.
