THE VICE PRESIDENT OF FRIENDS OF AMBAZONIA INC., ATTENDED A U.S. FOREIGN AFFAIRS FORUM IN WASHINGTON D.C.
Washington, D.C. – September 23, 2025, 7:00 PM - The Vice President of Friends of Ambazonia Inc., Dorothy Ngwa (M’a Doro), attended a forum at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, in Washington DC, organized by the New York Centre for Foreign Affairs. The theme was “U.S. Foreign Affairs and Great Power Competition -Shifting Frontlines in a New Era”.
The event brought together Think Tanks and Foreign policy experts to discuss how the United States is recalibrating its foreign policy amid intensifying rivalry with China, Russia, and other authoritarian powers.
The panel talked about the Trump administration’s approach in crafting U.S. foreign policies in this era of geopolitical shifting. Their “America First” approach is fundamental in shaping their foreign policies with other continents. Their foreign policies must reflect the American values and security for American citizens and businesses abroad. They negotiate trade deals that benefit both parties.
For Friends of Ambazonia Inc., the event presented a critical opportunity to connect Ambazonia’s struggle for self-determination to the broader U.S. foreign policy debate.
M’a Doro highlighted how China and Russia are deeply involved in extractive industries in Southern Cameroons, benefiting from oil, gas, and natural resources from the Ambazonian homeland that is illegally occupied by The Republic of Cameroun.
During the Question-and-Answer session, she asked to know if the U.S. could help Southern Cameroons regain their independence for the sake of peace and security in the Gulf of Guinea; and an end to the most neglected humanitarian crises of the the 21st century happening in Ambazonia, where more than 65 thousand have been killed, more than 850 villages destroyed, and more than 2.5 million people internally and externally displaced.
Her intervention highlighted that Ambazonia is not only a humanitarian emergency but also a strategic potential ally in the Gulf of Guinea. Such alliance would ensure peace and security in the region.
During the meeting, the Vice president introduced Friends of Ambazonia Inc. as a U.S.-based nonprofit organization advocating for the peaceful recognition of Ambazonia’s independence.
“This event was an eye-opener for us in some ways,” Vice President Dorothy said after the session. “We discussed the necessity for America to intervene and end the war by recognizing Ambazonia as an independent country. Our people’s fight for freedom and justice deserves the same attention Washington gives to larger countries.”
Friends of Ambazonia Inc. remains committed to advancing the recognition of Ambazonia through advocacy, diplomacy, and international law. The organization continues to engage with U.S. policymakers, the United Nations, and international allies to ensure that the voices of the Ambazonian people are heard.
