This captivating and detailed book should be required reading for anyone interested in learning
\nabout the current conflict in the Southern Cameroons region of Cameroon where oppression by
\nthe central government has incited an armed insurgency aimed at creating a new state called
\nAmbazonia. The author, currently a political prisoner in Cameroon, correctly points out that this
\nconflict is rooted in the reconfiguration of Africa by colonial powers after the First World War and
\nparticularly in the \u201cbotched decolonization\u201d of Southern Cameroons during the 1950s.

\nand Conflict in the 20th Century (2018)<\/p>\n
This inspirational book is not only insightful and well-written, but also well-researched and
\nhistorically grounded. It captures the complexity and multi-layered complicity of the UN, France,
\nCameroon Republic, and the UK as well as their roles in the 1961 botched decolonization process
\nthat led to the annexation of British Southern Cameroons which had attained self-government in
\n1954. The book draws both national and international attention to an end to the glaring injustice
\nsuffered by the territory and its people at independence. The author\u2019s depth of knowledge
\nregarding the reasons for the current struggle for the restoration of statehood of Southern
\nCameroons, is balanced by depictions of the people\u2019s long suffering and their inherent right to
\nfreedom and independence. The book will definitely be of interest to political scientists, historians,
\neconomists, students and friends of British Southern Cameroons and Africa.

This book is a welcome addition to the growing body of literature on the Southern Cameroons
\nQuestion. It will enrich the compelling repertoire of scholarship on the Southern Cameroons
\nheroic struggle for liberation from a vile black-on-black colonization. The author, a prisoner of
\nconscience, is one of Southern Cameroons\u2019 indefatigable liberation fighters, a man who has
\nsuffered torture and unlawful imprisonment countless times since the mid-1990s and is currently
\nserving a pre-determined life sentence peremptorily imposed in 2019 under cover of darkness by
\nFrench Cameroun\u2019s Kangaroo military tribunal.<\/p>\n

\nSocial Democratic Front\u2019s (SDF) Constitutional and Political Affairs Committee, he worked hard for
\nthe institutionalization of genuine democracy and the rule of law in Cameroon. To him, life is

\nsees the Southern Cameroons National Council (SCNC), which he came to lead, as the thorn in
\nYaound\u00e9 establishment\u2019s flesh, and treats members of the organization as members of his larger
\nSouthern Cameroons\u2019 family. At the time of publishing this book, Nfor Ngala Nfor was in prison in
\nYaound\u00e9 as one of the leaders of British Southern Cameroons renamed The Republic of
