Red Dragon (Ambazonian militia)


Red Dragon is an Ambazonian separatist militia loyal to the Interim Government of Ambazonia, and is part of the Ambazonia Self-Defence Council. It is led by Lekeaka Oliver, and controls most of Lebialem Division in the Southwest Region, where they have driven away the traditional rulers and local administrators.
On December 31, 2018, the Cameroonian Army claimed to have killed Field Marshall Lekeaka Oliver in Lebialem. His death was quickly denied by the Interim Government of Ambazonia, as well as by sources within the Cameroonian Army. Oliver resurfaced in a video a week later, proving that reports of his death were indeed false. In March 2019, the Cameroonian Army killed "General Ayekeah" of the Red Dragons, as well as two fighters who tried to intervene.
In October 2019, Lekeaka Oliver declared himself Paramount Ruler of Lebialem, drawing condemnation from traditional rulers of the subdivision. Cameroon subsequently launched raids into Lebialem in a failed attempt to capture or kill Oliver, leading to casualties on both sides.
