PRAP STATEMENT ON THE EU RESOLUTION CALLING FOR THE RELEASE OF POLITICAL PRISONERS IN CAMEROON
05 April 2025

The People’s Rights Advocacy Platform (PRAP) welcomes the European Parliament’s resolution calling for the immediate and unconditional release of Cameroonian journalists and Anglophone activists, including Amadou Vamoulké, Kingsley Fomunyuy Njoka, Mancho Bibixy, Thomas Awah Jr., and Tsi Conrad.

This international appeal is not just a condemnation of wrongful imprisonment—it is a powerful acknowledgment of the historical and political crisis that gave rise to the Ambazonian cause. 
The roots of radicalism and armed resistance lie in decades of marginalization, repression, and the failure of the Cameroonian government to respond to peaceful demands from the Anglophone community. 
The belief that military action and mass detention could suppress the yearning for justice has only deepened the wounds.

These grievances remain unresolved. 
Cameroon’s acknowledgment of the Anglophones’ distinct identity, stemming from their history as a former British-administered territory, must go beyond symbolic gestures. 
It must result in a tangible devolution of constitutional power that reflects the aspirations and identity of the Anglophone people within a shared nation.

The release of prisoners is a necessary first step, but not the end. 
The crisis demands inclusive dialogue, constitutional reform, and a new political compact that recognizes the two peoples that make up the Cameroonian state. 
PRAP continues to promote the Peace Plant Paper (PPP) as a peaceful roadmap to reconciliation and sustainable coexistence.

We call on all stakeholders—armed groups, political leaders, and civil society—to embrace the PPP and become part of the solution. 
This includes those who took up arms out of desperation, and those in power who must now show courage and leadership by choosing peace over pride. 
International partners must also step up their support for dialogue, justice, and accountability.

This is a turning point. 
Let the release of these prisoners mark the beginning of a national transformation where no voice is silenced, no identity erased, and no region left behind.
