Red Dragon is an Ambazonian separatist militia loyal to the Interim Government of Ambazonia, and is part of the Ambazonia Self-Defence Council.[6] It was led by Lekeaka Oliver,[1] and controlled most of Lebialem Division in the Southwest Region, driving away the traditional rulers and local administrators.[7] The group was greatly weakened in 2022, with Oliver being killed.[8]
