In jail or out of jail an Ambazonians is a prisoner within or outside their country. While in Ambazonia, before you travel it is impossible to say for sure where your destination lies, jail or your primary destination. Every 10km or so there is a check point
Every checkpoint one has to show an ID before you can proceed to the next check point. Guilty of anything, is the policeman to say, their vulnerability is apparent. Showing ID means alighting from the vehicle to present yourselves to the gendarmes or police.
Just say you have misplaced your ID is no excuse for not going to jail. For those who chose to stay home, there are frequent police raids code name “calé calé”.
In calé calés as it recently happened in Yaoundé in the Ambazonian neighborhood of Obili, those who failed to produce their Cameroon issued ID’s, no other identification like drivers licence, school Id is sufficient to prevent you for going to Jail
Even if you have an ID, most of the times one has to explain where he/she bought his TV set, and other house hold items, without a receipt for those things, you might lose them to the policemen or face Jail.
Do not make a mistake to transport some goods in a carton or cardboard box. You will have to explain with money exchanging hands where you bought an item and where it is heading to plus the tax receipts.
Amnesty International considers the men to be "prisoners of conscience, arrested, detained and charged solely because of their peaceful expression of their political convictions
