Members of the Cameroon Association of Victims of Ambazonia Terrorism, CAVAT, have through their attorneys led by US-based Cameroonian licensed lawyer, Barrister Emmanuel Nsahlai of the Nsahlai Law Firm, sued several US federal institutions for failing to prosecute those they call Ambazonia international terrorists.

                Nsahlai told reporters he has filed on behalf of CAVAT a Writ of mandamus against the FBI, the Department of Treasury, Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Justice.

He made the disclosure during a press conference Friday 21 February 2020 at the Franco Hotel in Yaounde.

                The lawyer said he is requesting the Federal Judge to order the aforementioned Federal agencies to properly apply their anti-terrorism and other penal laws to prosecute Ambazonia terrorists living in the USA. 

                He explained that the lawsuits against the institutions comes after filing several criminal reports beginning 2019 alongside multiple meetings with the FBI, Houston police department, Los Angeles police department and other federal agencies without any criminal indictments against Ambazonian leaders from these institutions.

                However, Nsahlai, revealed that thanks to dozens of criminal complaints filed against Ambazonia leaders and their major supporters in USA, UK and Norway, criminal reports, multiple criminal investigations are ongoing in these home countries.

                In the same light, he, said several other civil lawsuits in the USA against Ambazonia leaders based on anti-terrorism legislation has obtained them multiple “Temporary Restraining Orders”, barring the violence, terrorist, conspiracy to harm activities of Ambazonnia leaders. Nsahlai vowed to press men that he and his team will do all they can to defend the rights of CAVAT members and protect them from future harm as well as seek justice.

                Some CAVAT members who attended the Yaounde press conference narrated their ordeal in the hands of Ambazonian gunmen in the two Anglophone regions to reporters, demanding all be done for perpetrators of the acts or their sponsors to be brought to book.

                They also appealed to diplomatic missions of US, UK, Norway, Germany, Belgium, France and other countries shielding Ambazonian terrosrist to take action against them to stop the violence they are causing back home to innocent civilians.

                The NGO has as mission to provide humanitarian and legal assistance to victim of Ambazonia terrorism and violence. It is an umbrella organ with subgroups of youth, women, and some tribal subgroups.
