Gorji Dinka was active in the
Anglophone Crisis and advocated for more rights for
Anglophone Cameroonians, against the
Francophone government. He was the first president of the
Cameroon Bar Association, Gorji Dinka also coined the place name
Ambazonia, which he first used in 1984. Along with
Bernard Fonlon and Carlson Anyangwe he authored
The New Social Order, which claimed that the English-Speaking regions of Cameroons had the right to secede from Cameroon. He was arrested in May 1985 for his protests against the government and was detained until February 1986. After his release, he escaped to Nigeria. In a 2005 judgment of the
United Nations Human Rights ICCPR, the tribunal ruled in favor of compensation for Fon Gorji-Dinka for
human rights abuses to his person and for assurances of the enjoyment of his
civil and political rights. == Bibliography ==
