Chairman's Autobiography
Ebenezer Derek Mbongo Akwanga..,Jr., was born
November 18, 1970 at the
Sea-Side Resort Town of
Tiko in
Victoria County of the
Southern Region of the Southern Cameroons. He is amongst
ten children born in the family of
John Nembu Zah Akwanga and
Hilda Enanga Mbongo, all of blessed memory. After a very brilliant and movable
Primary, Secondary and Higher School Education, a period which got him into the
mainstream of the fight against injustice in the Cameroons and a call for the
unconditional freedom for his generation, that have been
reduced to pampers in the land of their birth,
Akwanga dream of a University Education.
His dream of a University education was compounded by the fact that his hopes and aspirations for a Free
and Democratic Society couldn't allow him to accept enrolling into the country's only University at the time in Yaounde. During his stay at home, Akwanga went through all the
tragedy and frustration of the day-to-day life under a monstrous, carnivorous, brutal, barbaric and annexationist tyrannical regime.
His personal trials and the sufferings and persecutions of his people made him an already bitter man, before he ever enrolled into
the University of Buea.
Akwanga became very active in Students Politics and was elected on a landside victory into
the prestigious post of Student Union President as proscribe by the Anglo-Saxon Educational Norms. His Charm, Charisma and incorruptible nature gained
him the nick names:
Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, John Fru Ndi, Admiral. Akwanga's tenacious and outspoken nature coupled with his courage and unyielding mannerism to lies
brought him into a major confrontation when he vehemently opposed an unpopular unrealistic and untimely decision to increase fees in the Country's University from 50.000 frs CFA, to
550.000 frs CFA. This decision was taken at a time when the country's economy has been ruined by a group of pillagerers and plunderers sanctioned by the man he calls the most crafty and dangerous robber on
earth, Paul Biya Bi Mvondo.
The University Authorities and members of the highly - feared and mystical MOKUNDA MAFIA denounced him to the police, the gendarmes, the secret service
and the government as the architect of a pacific strike that paralysed the University of Buea. He was then tacitly dismissed and banned from attending any institutions of higher learning in the Cameroons
, and once more found himself at home.
In 1994, he got admission into the University of Wittwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa to read Divinity, but all his attempts to leave the
Cameroons was aborted by the Secret Service who were under strict government instructions to send Akwanga "to the place beyond where he will no more stand as a living symbol of
his persecuted, bruised, battered and embittered people". He was described as a dangerous agitator and enemy no. 1 to the regime. who must be watch closely by the entire Security Network. He was refused a Cameroonian passport,
his identity card was seized, rendering him void of the only last thing that made him a Camerooonian: his statelessness was officially announced. Attempts to enrol into the Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Kumba County were equally blocked
by the Yaounde regime with the full conspiracy of the leadership of the Church.
Akwanga has survived many assassination attempts, one through poisoning. Found therefore in a Country that rejects him and continue to demeaned, depersonalised and dehumanised his
generation, under a barbaric condition of not being able to move forward or backward, he opted for the only last possibility of survival: the liberation, the Total and Unconditional Liberation of his
Country, the Southern Cameroons. He led the Creation of the Southern Cameroons Youth League (SCYL), in 1995, whose courage, activities and determination to go for freedom led
the regime to cooked up a scenario, arrest him and hundreds of his countrymen and women in 1997, brutally assassinate, maimed others, decapitate the SCYL leadership. Unable to kill the resistance spirit
in him, he was finally sent to jail for 20 years after the regime shamefully escaped imposing a death sentence. He was recently rescued from jail by the Delta Force of the Southern Cameroons Youth League.
Chairman Akwanga is a native of Bechati village, Mundani, Wabane of Lebialem county in the Southern region of the Southern Cameroons
.
He is married with children.
