September 15, 2025, Ekona Muyuka, Fako state, southern Ambazonia: public humiliation in Ekona, under the Muyuka Southern Ambazonia, Occupation Forces once again unleashed humiliation on innocent Ambazonia civilians. Hundreds of men, women, and children were rounded up by the Cameroon Occupation Forces, specifically the Rapid Intervention Battalion (BIR), and forced into degrading positions under the watch of armed soldiers. This act of public humiliation highlights the systematic oppression Ambazonians endure daily.

Civilians Treated as Criminals

public humiliation The images from Ekona are stark: farmers, mothers, fathers, and children made to sit on wet grass like prisoners. These were not combatants but ordinary civilians guilty only of living in their homeland. Such actions constitute collective punishment, a direct violation of International Laws that prohibit the targeting of non-combatants during armed conflict.

Systematic War Crimes by Cameroon Occupation Forces

public humiliation. The incident is not isolated but part of a deliberate pattern. For years, Ambazonians have been subjected to arbitrary arrests, village burnings, forced displacement, and extrajudicial killings. Forcing civilians, especially women and elders, into degrading positions under threat of armed force amounts to cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment under International Human Rights Law. It also meets the definition of war crimes under the Geneva Conventions, which forbid humiliating or terrorizing civilians in occupied territories.

Violations of International Laws and Human Rights

public humiliation Cameroon Occupation Forces’ actions blatantly disregard International Humanitarian Law, which guarantees civilians protection during armed conflict. Humiliation, intimidation, and terrorization are unlawful tactics aimed at breaking the spirit of Ambazonians. By systematically targeting communities, these forces violate fundamental human rights such as dignity, security, and freedom from degrading treatment—rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other binding conventions.

The Silence of the International Community

Despite mounting evidence, the international community remains largely silent, allowing Cameroon Occupation Forces to commit these crimes with impunity. Silence in the face of such abuses equals complicity, further deepening the suffering of Ambazonians.

The Call for Justice and Liberation

Ekona serves as a warning to the world: a people cannot be humiliated into submission forever. History teaches that oppression fuels resistance, and the determination for freedom grows stronger in the face of injustice. The struggle of Ambazonia is not an illusion it is a fight for dignity, justice, and liberation from an unlawful occupation.
