Southern Cameroonians commemorates this Monday the birthday of the Interim President of the Federal Republic of Ambazonia and leader of the Ambazonia Revolution, Sisiku Ayuk Tabe, who including 9 of his top aides were sentenced recently to life in prison by the Yaounde Military Tribunal.

Birthday wishes bearing his photo have been posted in some towns and villages all over Ground Zero and on social media by hundreds of Southern Cameroonians who are also respecting the lock down. The Ambazonian Vice President Dabney Yerima in an act of faith, homage and commitment observed that the leader of the Ambazonia resistance; President Sisiku Ayuk Tabe is more alive than ever.

In a soul-searching message the Southern Cameroons exiled government said that “today is the birthday of the heir to the legacy of the visionary leaders who staged the blockade of the Eastern Regional Assembly in Enugu, Nigeria in 1953.”

Many Southern Cameroons daily newspapers are expected to dedicate their front pages and many of the inside pages to the Ambazonia leader, whose name is multiplied on social networks, in some cases to praise him and in others to deplore him.
