Comment: As the person who coined the name Ambazonia in the context of the Anglophone Crisis in Cameroon, Dinka probably has slight notability. Bkissin (talk) 20:26, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
Fongum Gorji Dinka is an attorney, Ambazonian political activist, and Fon of the Widikum Kingdom in northwestern Cameroon.[1][2]
Gorji Dinka was born on 22 June 1930.[3] He was active in the Anglophone Crisis and advocated for more rights for Anglophone Cameroonians and against the Francophone government.[4][5][6] He was the first president of the Cameroon Bar Association,[4] and is also known as the named party of the Fongum Gorji Dinka v. Cameroon which was tried at the High Court of Justice.[7] Gorji Dinka is known for coining the place name Ambazonia, which he first used in 1984.[8][9] Along with Bernard Fonlon and Carlson Anyangwe he co-authored a document called 'The New Social Order' which claimed that the English-Speaking regions of Cameroons had the right to succeed from Cameroon.[10][11] He was arrested in May 1985 for his activism and was detained until February 1986.[12][13] After his release, he escaped to Nigeria.[14]
