In a preemptive move, the dug a very big hole on the road that led to commuters stranded on either side of the two Cameroons. As Cameroun illegal elections approaches, Restoration forces are upping their game. It should be recalled that the Restoration forces used a Satom Caterpillar in cutting off the road. This sends a very strong message that different types of civilians are into the restoration forces with different skills and professions. Earlier, without the knowledge of Southern Cameroons leadership in the diaspora, an ADF commander known as commander Tiger from Batibo in a viral video warned travellers and denizens to stock home as major roads in the Northern and Southern zone will be closed from September 16 to October 10. The commander says this move will stop any intended campaigns in Ambazo...
