Biography

Gorji Dinka was active in the Anglophone Crisis and advocated for more rights for Anglophone Cameroonians, against the Francophone government.[3][4][5] He was the first president of the Cameroon Bar Association,[3] and is also the named party of the Fongum Gorji Dinka v. Cameroon which was tried at the High Court of Justice and United Nations Human Rights Committee.[6] Gorji Dinka also coined the place name Ambazonia, which he first used in 1984.[7][8]

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.[9][10]

He was arrested in May 1985 for his protests against the government and was detained until February 1986.[11][12] After his release, he escaped to Nigeria.[13]

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.[14]
