AS the agitation for the Amazonian Republic, The English speaking area of southern Cameroon continues, it has been claimed that thousands of the agitators are languishing in the forest, while over 200 of their houses have been burnt.
A medical expert from Southern Cameroon, who resides in Calabar, the Cross River State capital disclosed this to newsmen recently in Calabar.
According to the Cameroonian, over 40,000 of the refugees are now in Cross River State, while others are scattered around Akwa Ibom, Adamawa, and Taraba States.

The medical practitioner regretted the uncompromising attitude of the Nigerian Government, which he said refused to protect the interest of these Southern Cameroonians and of course the African Union (AU) for playing deaf ear to their plea to set them free from the alleged tyranny rule of President Paul Biya.
The agitators also blamed the United Nations for allegedly taking side in the struggle and support French Government to block all channels of dialogue and aids to Christians in the Southern Cameroun.
