Ambazonia war: 9 students kidnapped by "Armed Unidentified Men" in NW. Amba Boys or Fake Amba Boys?

Eyewitnesses in the locality of Bafut attribute this abduction to the "ambazonian" fighters.

But in English-speaking separatist circles, soldiers are disguised as fighters in order to sabotage Southern Cameroon's struggle for independence.

Who kidnapped the 9 students of the Presbyterian Girl Secondary School of Bafut, in the Northwest Region, on Monday, September 3, 2018? From local sources, these are English-speaking separatist fighters. There are also two teachers killed in two other nearby locations. During a conclave held August 18 in Washington DC in the US, English-speaking separatist leaders decided to postpone the back to school in September 2019 given the ongoing fighting between separatist forces and the Cameroonian army.

According to the spokesperson for separatist leaders Chris Anu, these young students were kidnapped by soldiers disguised as pro-independence fighters known as "Amba Boys": "the interim government has received information that Cameroonian soldiers have On August 30 in Bamenda, were instructed to kidnap students from Presbyterian Girl Secondary School in Bafut and blame the fact to the restoration forces, "reads the statement issued by the independence leaders.

False fighters

Difficult to contact the spokesman of the army, Didier Badjeck to have his version of the facts. A few weeks ago, we received an anonymous message (see below) that the government was planning to arm false separatist fighters who were to massacre students in schools and the wrong would be attributed to the real forces of independence. Paul Biya's regime planned to demonize the movement with the international community, including the United States, and to break the struggle for the independence of Southern Cameroon.

As the fighting continues on the front, voices of the people are beginning to rise to denounce the appearance of groups of combatants who attack people, extort money, kidnap, torture and kill. But in English-speaking independentist circles, it is argued that these are methods that are not peculiar to independentist forces. There have been several videos of fake "Amba Boys" arrested by real ones for theft, rape and other wrong deeds. People accuse elites and some local elected to have created these fake fighters to sabotage the fight for the independence of Southern Cameroons.
