The Butcher of Ngarbuh Still Walks Free: Cameroon’s Shame, the World’s Silence

As another parliamentary session ends in Yaoundé, I am compelled to remind the world of a chilling truth: the mastermind of the Ngarbuh massacre, Ngalla Gerald, is still walking free. 
not only free, but protected, honoured, and empowered as a Member of Parliament in the Republic of Cameroon.

While the international community commemorates victims of ethnic cleansing and war crimes elsewhere, in Cameroon, the architect of one of the most brutal civilian massacres in modern African history is parading through villages, scattering money like confetti, pretending to be a savior.

Let us not forget what happened in Ngarbuh, February 2020.

Over 21 innocent civilians, including pregnant women and children, were slaughtered in their sleep. 
Eyewitnesses and independent reports confirmed the involvement of Fulani militias, who were brought in from Nigeria—armed and coordinated under the political direction of Ngalla Gerald as part of his fight against Ambazonia fighters but this militia has done everything but fight against Ambazonia fighters. 

The Cameroonian government initially denied the massacre. 
Then they shifted blame. Then they buried the truth. 
But we know it. And so do they.

Buying Love with Blood-Stained Hands

Today, the same Ngalla Gerald is spreading cash in Nkambe, and parading unjustifiably wealth on social media, not as development aid, not as reparations, but as a primitive form of cohesion - bribing our impoverished people to love him. 

How twisted must a regime be to let the architect of atrocity buy political affection with state money, in villages stripped of every resource? . 
This man hands out banknotes to a people in Nkambe whose neighbours on other villages farms have been burned, whose children are out of school, and whose forests are crawling with his armed thugs masquerading as “peace actors.”

His money does not come from compassion. 
It comes from Yaoundé , through contracts awarded for sustaining a conflict he helped create, and military funds disbursed based on fake terror incidents he stages , just like his colleagues Patrick Ekema , Moja Moja and Paul Atanga Nji .

DDR False Flag Operations: 

The Case of 11 February in Nkambe WE should never forget 

On February 11, 2025, a false flag attack in Nkambe resulted in the tragic death of a teenage girl from Bui. 
That attack was not carried out by Ambazonian fighters . 
It was orchestrated by DDR boys loyal to Ngalla Gerald , the same ex-combatants he has recycled into private militias . 
Some where bodyguards of his mayor friend he had helped put in place .

The goal? To simulate insecurity, provoke fear, and justify receiving more funds from the regime under the guise of fighting terror.

But the real terror sits in parliament.

The real militia drives government vehicles.

The real enemy of peace wears a tailored suit and smiles for the cameras while families of Ngarbuh still cry in silence.

The Fulani Militias The killed Children in Ngarbuh Still Operate

Let us be clear: the Fulani militias Ngalla Gerald armed and brought in from Nigeria have never been disbanded. 
They are still operating in the villages of Donga-Mantung, Menchum, Bum-Boyo and parts of Bui , terrorizing communities, extorting food, and intimidating locals under state protection. 

It’s a shame that this foreigners are officially setting checkpoints within Cameroon, they even check Cameroon military vehicles. 

These militias do not serve the people. 
They serve a political gangster who thrives on war and instability, growing his power through manufactured insecurity.

Where Is Justice? Where Is the Outrage?

The people of Ngarbuh still wait for justice. 
Their loved ones are buried in mass graves. 
The few soldiers sentenced for the killings are junior scapegoats. 
The man who planned, enabled, and protected the massacre walks free—no handcuffs, no charges, no shame.

Ngalla Gerald represents the very worst of postcolonial African politics:

Just like other Dogs of war in Paul Biya’s regime:

He manufactures war to enrich himself

He kills civilians to climb the political ladder

He uses state cash to buy silence and distort the truth

And he walks through parliament as if his crimes never happened.

But we remember. 
And we will not stop speaking. 
Let this message echo far beyond Cameroon’s borders:

As long as Ngalla Gerald remains free, the blood of Ngarbuh cries out for justice.
