The Sovereign Protocol

Mobilizing Media Sovereignty in Bafut, Cameroon

In partnership with Princess Abumbi Prudence of the Bafut Royal House, we are deploying the "Media Company in a Box" and "Bridge to Media Empowerment" educational frameworks to Ground Zero — the heart of the Anglophone Crisis. Both frameworks can be read for free on this platform.

Not charity. Sovereignty. We provide the tools and curriculum; they build the empire. The community will own every lens, every microphone, and every story.

Cameroon's Anglophone Crisis is classified by the Norwegian Refugee Council as one of the most neglected displacement crises on Earth — 845K+ displaced, 83% of humanitarian aid unfunded, 6,500+ lives lost.
