When Mr Paul Biya openly declared war on Southern Cameroons in December 2017 nobody would have imagined that a genocide was actually in preparation to send a majority of citizens of Southern Cameroons to their early graves. Unlike on 8 December 2016, 22 September 2017 and 1st October 2017 whereby peaceful unarmed protesters were massacred using helicopter gunships on the streets in Buea and Bamenda, the military of La Republique du Cameroun after the declaration of war by Mr Paul Biya (https://twitter.com/vincentkushine/status/936542954675728385) have been targeting every single Southern Cameroonian even in their homes.

The army appears to have been licensed to kill even the same civilians they’re meant to protect. A young man in Mbingo popularly know as Sam Soya is alleged to have been slaughtered by La Republique du Cameroun military after being arrested and accused of providing magical protection to restoration fighters (https://twitter.com/vincentkushine/status/961582296582246400).

Corpses are reportedly brought and abandoned at the Bamenda Hospital Mortuary by the same military of the occupying Forces of La Republique du Cameroun that perpetrated the killings (https://twitter.com/vincentkushine/status/964749988780789761). Villages and towns have been razed like the case of Kombone, Mbonge and Kwa-Kwa in the Southern Zone of Southern Cameroons (https://twitter.com/vincentkushine/status/954267027027513344). Private homes have been attacked by the military and maize just harvested set ablaze (https://twitter.com/vincentkushine/status/957214430617587712.

We continue to call on the International Community to intervene and stop the genocide that is being perpetrated on the People of Southern Cameroons Ambazonia by the occupying Forces of La Republique du Cameroun under the Leadership of 85 Years old Mr Paul Biya who has been in power for 36 years.

The crackdown on Southern Cameroonians has already created over 48 000 refugees who have crossed over to Nigeria to seek for protection. On 5 January, 2018 Nigeria violated International Law and abducted and handed over Leaders of the Interim Government of Southern Cameroons Ambazonia to La Republique du Cameroun to be charged under the illegal 2014 Law on Terrorism. https://twitter.com/vincentkushine/status/950703046589341696

There’s need for the international community to stop the genocide and initiate a peaceful dialogue to determine the terms of separation between La Republique du Cameroon and Southern Cameroons Ambazonia.
