Despite efforts to seek justice and medical attention, he tragically succumbed to his injuries on December 19, 2022.

The chaos, which erupted in 2016, has resulted in untold suffering and loss of life.

Atem Tabot’s death is just one of many tragic casualties of the Ambazonian war. Countless lives have been lost, families torn apart, and communities devastated.
The Cameroon occupation forces’ brutal crackdown on dissent has led to widespread displacement, arbitrary arrests, torture, and extrajudicial killings.
Civilians, including women and children, bear the brunt of this violence, caught in the crossfire of a chaos they did not choose.
Atem Tabot’s death serves as a poignant symbol of the atrocities being committed against the Ambazonian people.
Despite calls for dialogue and peaceful resolution, the conflict shows no signs of abating, perpetuating a cycle of violence and despair.
