Leading with Vision and Passion

Dr. Emmanuel Nji Tita: On duty to free his people
“The people of Southern Cameroons have endured decades of colonization, marginalization and military aggression. Our freedom reflects the same foundational values that have built great countries across the world. It is time for the pain of the people of Southern Cameroons to be ended,” he says.
We will Never Give Up
At a time when many feel exhausted and discouraged, Dr. Emmanuel Nji Tita’s spirit to fight on remains ignited. He vows never to give up until the complete freedom of his people is achieved. In one of his most passionate appeals, he declares:
“The fight is a legitimate fight, and the colonial military of the Republic of Cameroun is still killing our people daily. We cannot give up. Giving up is like surrendering to the colonial regime of the Republic of Cameroun and the consequences of giving up are treacherous. That means our people, the people of the Former British Southern Cameroons, the people of Ambazonia, will live as conquered people. That means all their inheritance, all their culture, all their land, all their resources, etc. etc. will no longer be theirs. I see myself as a major player that’s needed in making sure that this struggle succeeds. That’s some of the reasons as to why I have not given up and we will and should never give up. I am personally very passionate about the struggle succeeding,” he adds.
Dr. Emmanuel Nji Tita: Emerging leadership
Despite the weight of the struggle, Dr. Emmanuel Nji Tita remains hopeful. Speaking on the work of Friends of Ambazonia Inc., he shares a message of renewed optimism:
“There’s hope!. We at Friends of Ambazonia Inc. have ‘discovered the missing piece in the puzzle’ and we are actively pursuing that direction right now as far as advocacy and diplomacy is concerned. I would like to personally encourage every Southern Cameroonian at Home and Abroad to look for a way to get involved actively and let us finish this fight for justice and independence for our people. The people of the Former British Southern Cameroons also known as the people of Ambazonia deserve the right to be free or live as an independent country.”
To the Republic of Cameroon Regime
Directing his words to the authorities in Yaoundé, Dr. Emmanuel Nji Tita issues a firm call for justice, accountability and the freedom of Ambazonia:
“The colonial military of the Republic of Cameroun must stop the killing of the innocent people of the former British Southern Cameroons/ Ambazonia. They must release all Southern Cameroonians that have been abducted, arrested and detained and compensate them for their time in prison. Reparations must be paid. Their colonial military and administrators must all be withdrawn from Ambazonia. This is a fight for justice and freedom, a fight they will never win. And our generation is poised to take the fight to a logical end…until we reach Buea.”
Having lived in the United States for over 22 years, Dr. Emmanuel Nji Tita says his experience of freedom and independence has only strengthened his resolve. Reflecting on what Ambazonia stands to gain, he concludes:
“I have lived in America for over 22 years. I have seen and lived what it means for a country to be independent and given our natural resources and strategic location in the Gulf of Guinea that God has blessed us with, I know what the people of AMBAZONIA stands to benefit as an independent country and that’s one of the reasons why I am not giving up.”
