Ambazonia Self-Defence Council

The ASC was created by the Interim Government of Ambazonia in March 2018. The Interim Government wished to include all separatist militias, including the ADF; however, the ADF declined to join, opting for cooperation rather than integration. It is unclear whether the ASC has a centralized command structure, though given the local nature of its militias, this is unlikely. In its refusal to obey the order, the ASC cited the lack of consultation by the SCLC. By 2021, the ASC had become more commonly known as the "Ambazonia Restoration Forces" (ARF). In January 2022, the ARF began to fracture as conflicts erupted among its members. Several commanders of the umbrella group, including General No Pity and General Mad Dog, formed the Bui Unity Warriors in opposition to "Field Marshal" Insobu's Bui Warriors, In August 2022, more than 50 ARF commanders met to agree to a more organized unification of the ARF as well as to distance themselves from the exile leadership of the rebellion. At the meeting, "General Bitter Collar" and "Commander Armoured Car" were elected as Communication Secretaries for the unified militias. ==See also==
