Cameroonian separatist group throws weight behind Biafra, enters alliance with agitators


A Cameroonian separatist group has thrown its weight behind the agitation for Biafra in neighbouring Nigeria, News Express has learnt.

The group, which goes by the name Rufasca and is working for the independence of the people of Southern Cameroon, has reportedly entered into an alliance with the Biafra Nations Youth League (BNYL), one of the groups currently campaigning for the resuscitation of Biafra Republic, which existed from 1967 to 1970 before surrendering to superior federal forces.

“Rufasca is seeking to collaborate with us in the best interest of the people of Southern Cameroon otherwise known as Ambazonia,” BNYL National President, Comrade Prince Chimezie Obuka, told News Express.

“Rufasca has not only allied with us, but they are now part of BNYL representing the interest of Ambazonia. With them in the movement and the BNYL at large, the Nigerian Government will find it difficult denying Biafra access to the sea,” Obuka said.

He disclosed that a Rufasca delegation will attend the BNYL Congress scheduled to hold on February 27, 2016 in Ikom, Cross River State.

Comrade Obuka welcomed the alliance with Rufasca, explaining that the people of Southern Cameroon and Eastern Nigeria share a common history.

“The name Ambazonia is gotten from the Ambas bay in the Bight of Biafra. Southern Cameroon occupies the largest portion of the Bight of Biafra. And they equally want to pull out from Cameroon. We have shared common history as they were administered alongside Eastern Nigeria under the NCNC led by Nnamdi Azikiwe. Our last leakage is Biafra’s coastal line. With the help of Rufasca, there is hope for the people of Bakassi,” the BNYL National President stated. http://www.newsexpressngr.com/news/detail.php?news=19883

It's good that Nigerians see that it is not only elements of the Lower Niger that are seeking independence in Africa.

[b]Good one. Africans will decolonize themselves by restructuring Africa by themselves and doing away with the vestiges and remnants of colonial oppression, slavery and almagamation where people with differing cultures, political orientation and religious predisposition are packed together like simian apes just for ease of administration by the slave master and future destruction of themselves when the white man goes.

The future African heroes are the ones who will stand up to challenge the lumping and partitioning of Africa by European slave masters at the 1884 berlin confrence as warbooties, even as they (heroes) face bullets and guns for their political convictions. The villains are the Africans who will insist that the creation of the colonial master at that conference in Berlin 1884 must subsist. They will be gotten rid of by natural selection because Africa must liberate itself from the vestiges of slavery by all means necessary. New nations will formed by willing association, by referendums (just ,like prosperous TANgayika and ZANzibar of TANZANIA) and not by the barrel of the gun like the lugardian contraption filled with morons. In all of human history, cowardly traitors have always turned out to be the villains. To hell with the villains![/b]

Do u know,why I like this news,it suits the bolt,nd the bolt has been tightened to the nut,the die is cast,as a strategist that have studied colonial and white countries.
They still play divide and rule, this biafra and ambazonia deal is a strategic way of pulling out

Am not promoting biafra,I am just a strategist

Britain will play against France,by aiding ambazonia
While France will play against Britain,by aiding biafra
If when a deal is struck,France is always a real chess player,so is Britain

But as a strategist,only one can survive the battle of freedom

As far as I know,France wanted to diminish Nigeria territory,before boko haram,a huge invasion by France wanted to happen
Benin from the north west
Togo from the west
Niger from the north
Chad from the north east
Cameroon from the east

Before boko haram
Re: Cameroonian Separatist Group Throws Weight Behind Biafra by Lordave: 3:33pm On Feb 04, 2016
Anyway, a support from a separatist group to another doesn't guarantee independence to any of them.

Only supports from sovereign countries can.

Africans neither know their history or possess of African pride.

Like you said Africans need to decolonise themselves and then freelu form alliances like in ECOWAS, else we remain the sick child of humanity

This is getting interesting but both these group have same issue. they haven't been able to show level of autonomy like Catalonia, Crimea, Scotland and Kurdistan for example. They all have political movements and strong support from politicians. Kurdistan has both political and militants arms.


I would be happy to have Nigeria annex Part of the Cameroon separatists especially Bakassi if the can get political referendum. Then nigeria can annex them and place millitary and dare Cameroon to jump. This will also help us avoid ICC.

The dynamics are changing and they are to our favour.
If we had a secessionist group in Southern Cameroon in 1966-70, the outcome of that war could have been different.

Doubt it. You would have war on two fronts. Besides Cameroon as country recognized Biafra. A secessionist group would only serve to make them attack biafra or send millitary aid to Nigeria.

Cameroon it was under the Fulani Man Ahijo, who helped Gowon blockade the Eastern flank of Biafra, how exactly does that translate to recognition?

Cameroon not having control over southern Cameroon, with the rebels who are pro Biafra holding sway will serve Biafran purpose better.
Cameroon will be kept busy by the secessionist group.
