        @Tomi_Oladipo, @BBCAfrica @USUN @BBCWorld why report halve truths? Whats your intent?political correctness? We were not united. We came with peace plants, Cameroon responded by burning of people in their homes, food barns, rape, mass executions, looting. @Twit4Amba @AU_PSD

        @BBCAfrica point of correction; the @Ambazonian fighters are not rebels. They are restorationists fighting to restore our independence. #SouthernCameroons was independent before it's union with LRC that's why the #UN presented @PR_Paul_BIYA with 2 maps of Cameroon back in 2010.pic.twitter.com/hIPJjFEXaP

        Present situation in #SouthernCameroon (#Ambazonia) can be described as military occupation by Biya regime troops commiting atrocities (estimated 1000 civilians killed, 80 villages burnt, +150.000 IDPs, +20,000 refugees in Nigeria) and the crisis/conflict escalating day by day.

        Southern Cameroonians are not a minority in Cameroun. #UK forced our grand Parents to obtain independence by joining Cameroun or integrating with Nigeria after a @UN voted Independence for Southern Cameroon. Stop twisting our history http://BBC.Report  facts not lies please

        Again @BBCAfrica bbc is telling some half truths. Two countries joint in a federation of two equals after Britain denied #SouthernCameroons full independence. Is that so difficult to broadcast?

        The @BBCWorld is fake - look at the way their journalist pose questions when talking about Syria and you will see a wide contrast in talking #Cameroun when I fact #Camerooun at the moment is commuting a serious genocide (#BBCdoubleStandards)

        Tell your hypocrites UNO to come to the aid of the Southern Cameroonians or stand to bury them all. La Republic keeps killing innocent people, burning homes and raping innocent girls but the international community is silently watching all these atrocities.
