On September 23, 2018, the tranquil villages of Donga-Mantung and Babessi in Ambazonia were thrust into a nightmare. The very fabric of their existence was torn apart as more than forty-one young men, women, and children were abducted by the Cameroon occupation Forces.

The sun had barely risen when these innocent souls were snatched from their homes, their dreams shattered. Families were left in anguish, their loved ones vanished without a trace. The silence that followed was deafening—a silence that echoed through the hills and valleys, a silence that spoke of unspeakable horrors.

The abductors showed no mercy. Their actions defied reason, their motives hidden in the shadows. The youth, the backbone of any community, were torn away—their potential extinguished, their futures stolen. Mothers wept, fathers clenched their fists in impotent rage, and children grew up with a void that could never be filled.

Donga-Mantung and Babessi—once places of peace—now bore witness to tragedy. The rivers flowed with tears, the hills whispered of loss.

The act of killing a hospital nurse, the abduction of the young, the violation of innocence—it all became part of Ambazonia’s painful narrative.

As scholars and researchers, we grapple with the enormity of this atrocity. Our studies delve into the anatomy of violence—the systemic failures, the impunity, and the scars etched into the collective memory. We seek answers, not just for academic curiosity, but to ignite change.

The international community must bear witness. We document these atrocities, not as detached observers, but as advocates for truth. Our pens become instruments of remembrance, our research a plea for accountability.

For every young life lost, for every mother’s tears, let us pledge to honor their memory. Let us demand justice, not just for Donga-Mantung and Babessi, but for all the silenced voices across Ambazonia. May their stories fuel our resolve to create a world where brutality yields to compassion, and where the youth can dream without fear.

For every young life lost, for every mother’s tears, let us pledge to honor their memory

In the hills of Ambazonia, let us find the courage to rebuild—not just the broken lives, but the hope, the resilience, and the unwavering belief in our shared humanity. For every abduction, every massacre, let us stand united—a chorus that echoes across borders, demanding an end to this senseless violence.
