        FYI every anglophone male is a fighter of the revolution. They only difference from the arm group is that they're armed with social media and phones. The day real arms; no one will know the CAMEROONS as it's. In one county alone I saw >5000 ready to die but have no real arms.

        Please correct the caption of your post. They aren't rebels but restoration forces of former southern Cameroon (Ambazonia). You can as well call the Ambazonia Defense Forces (ADF).

        No one listened when it was peaceful protest. President of France came to West Africa and did not mention Cameroon crisis, Nigeria the same including the UN. Now the world is paying attention.
