LANUAGE IDENTITY: AMBAZONIANS FORCED WITH FRENCH LANGUAGE
Language is an identity of a people.Language is a vital part of human connection. Although all species have their ways of communicating, humans are the only ones that have mastered cognitive language communication. Language allows us to share our ideas, thoughts, and feelings with others. It has the power to build societies.The people of Ambazonia are identified with the English language. Therefore, the English is the bond that binds them together.Any attempt on the English language in Southern Cameroon is a thread to the identity of the people. Such a thread cannot and should never be accepted.an attempt to assimilate the the people of Southern Cameroon-Ambazonia, La Republique du Cameroun is using language as a tool. The administrative language in the colonial regime in Southern Cameroon is solely in French.
Can people sit back to see their identity tempered with? No is the obvious answer. This is just one of the many reasons for the people of Ambazonia seeking to part ways with the La Republique du Cameroun. The Savannah States of Ambazonia office of Football Federation had received in Bamenda, chief town with administrative headquarters has received outfits. These outfits were provided by one of the colonial institution of La Republique du Cameroun FECAFOOT.
FECAFOOT is an acronym for Fedération Camerounaise de Football.
On Sunday July 10, 2022, the staff of FECAFOOT Savannah States had these outfits on. The intriguing of it was the inscription on the outfits. The outfits carried the inscription "FECAFOOT NORD OUEST". A dress can not be for the people of Southern Cameroon to be worn in Southern Cameroon and the inscriptions on them are in a foreign language. This is a calculated attempt by La Republique du Cameroun to impose a language on the people of Ambazonia. This has been a long standing objective of the colonial regime. In 2016 lawyers and teachers stagged a peaceful strike action against the imperialist attitude of the French sub-system on their different institutions. Francophone magistrates where sent to me Courts in Southern Cameroon were Common Law is practiced.
Teachers equally could not sit back to French teachers unteaching their children with phrases like "sweep the board" instead of saying wipe the board. They had a unique demand for French Cameroonians to be taken out Southern Cameroon Courts and Schools. In response the colonial regime's leader declared war on Southern Cameroonians.
La Republique du Cameroun is bent on killing the indentity of the Ambazonian people and separation is the only option for Southern Cameroonians to preserve their cultural heritage.
