Cameroon; 1966-2011: From a Totalitarian to a Competitive (Advanced) Authoritarian Regime Masked as a “Democracy”
In this paper, I argue using empirical evidence from history, the current situation in Cameroon and also relating studies that have been done on politica…
Here is the New Year Message of Paul Biya, President of the Republic of Cameroon. Biya has been in power since November 06, 1982. He has "won" every allegedly heavily rigged election since then. Biya, 80, presides over 20 million people with unofficial unemployment rate at 80%. The economy of…
I am wishing a happy New Year 2013 to all my friends, brothers, sisters and well wishers and even my enemies although i feel that i don't have any enemies.
In a recent Wikileaks cable released in September 20011, the former US diplomat to Cameroon says he discussed with president Paul Biya for over an hour on vital issues. The chat which took place in April 2009 focused Cameroon politics, security forces, corruption and the impact of the economic crisis. According to the US diplomat, “Biya was less focused and more rambling than in previous meetings and did not seem fully seized with the numerous pressing challenges his government faces”. He further states that Paul Biya look tired and was visibly not informed about what is happening in his own country, Cameroon. He chatted “unhurriedly and without purpose of direction”.
Below is the full list of candidates who have been selected by Cameroon’s Electoral body ELECAM, for the October 9, 2011 presidential elections. A total of 52 postulants submitted their files and 21 were retained including incumbent Paul Biya, who has been in office since November 6, 1982. 31 postulants were rejected with reasons ranging from the none legalisation of copies of documents, late submission of files, fake receipts or non payment of payment of the FCFA 5 million caution among others.
In another confidential and explosive WikiLeaks cable on Cameroon, the Minister of Territorial Administration (MINAT) and powerful member of the ruling party polit Bureau , Marafa Hamidou Yaya in a discussion with Elisabeth Janet Garvey, former US Ambassador to Cameroon, the former bares his mind about some burning issues in the country. His disdain for Elections Cameroon-ELECAM, his worries on the fight against corruption among other issues are revealed. It should be noted that the declarations of these ministers, like the case of Amadou Ali of the Justice Department may be considered their personal opinions or views. However, these views are really not different from state policies implemented by them or their ministries and the government at large.
In a WikiLeaks cable released on September 1, 2011 Cameroon’s Vice Prime Minister, Minister of Justice and Keeper of the Seal, Amadou Ali, makes startling revelations and declarations in a very confidential chat on February 27, 2009, with the former US Ambassador to Cameroon, Elizabeth Janet Garvey. After reading through the cable, these are the salient points I have taken for you. I have divided them under corruption, the military and politics.
A recent Wikileaks cable on Cameroon has revealed to the bewilderment of Cameroonians that in the course of a discussion with former US ambassador to Cameroon HE Janet Garvey, President Paul Biya literally admitted that inertia and impunity in Cameroon have destroyed the country under his watch for the past 29 years. This is supported when he is quoted in the cable as saying some ministers, and notably Inoni Ephraim “have not stolen enough” to be arrested. The questions are how much, must a minister steal to be arrested. Despite the ongoing selective arrest of suspected embezzlers, corruption continues as before.

In a bid to tell the world about Lebialem, The Post on its website published
an
article titled The Curious Journey to
Lebialem laced with generalised utterances, hasty observations and loose
statements. Without questioning the prolific, imaginative, and creative skills
of the writer, the article which was an excellent prose though, failed to paint
a real picture of Lebialem and at best, it could be said it was misleading.
This might have been as a result of the writer’s lack of knowledge on Lebialem and
its history and certainly because his journey to the division was meant for
something else. This is supported by the fact that the article was not
accompanied by any picture. The picture used online in a different website to promote
the article was not taken by the writer or a photographer of his media housed despite
the fact that he had been there for a couple of days.

Le Jour newspaper, (one of Cameroon's French language daily) on its website on May 11, 2011 revealed that Cameroon’s Ambassador to Italy, Awono Essama has been living in a rented apartment worth 5000 Euros (FCFA3.250.000) a month since June 2008. The revelation was made in…

Just as in 1961
when the Congolese nationalist and 
Pa
n Africanist Patrice Lumumba was arrested with the complicity of Belgian
forces and UN troops and handed over to Moise Tshombe, and subsequently killed
under the auspices of CIA, Belgian forces and neo-colonial agent, Mombutu Seseko,
on April 11, 2011 the president of Cote D Ivoire Laurent Gbagbo was overthrown
by French troops in an assault at his residence that also included UN troops and rebels forces of
Alasane Ouattara. This coup d ‘etat was the completion of the earlier failed
coup d’état of 2002 and 2004. Just as President
Laurent was being humiliated on television, two French ships were already about
leaving Abidjan sea port with millions of barrels of oil. And that is just the beginning
of another drama that risk making Cote D Ivoire take the shape of DRC today i.e.
a banana republic. That is certainly not
my wish.
French troops launch assault for final take over
Do you see what it takes for Mr. Alasane Ouattara to get to power in Cote D Ivoire? This guy mounted a coup d’état which led to the killing of thousands of Ivoirians in 1999, the rebellion followed in 2002 and more thousands were killed still under h…

Co-incidentally, the first American president who has continuously
pounded
an African nation with bombs and in the process allegedly killed hundreds of civilians
and destroyed non military targets is an “African American”, and again, the
first African American president of the United States of America, Barack
Hussein Obama.
A lot has been written in different forums on the right and wrongs of the decision of the USA, France and UK to lead an invasion force into Libya under the bogus claim of averting a humanitarian disaster.

On March 10, 2011 Dramane Alasane Ouattara, the Ivorian unofficial rebel leader since 1999 ( father of the 1999 coup d' etat and the 2002 rebellion), and the one time closest ally of the former Ivorian dictator, Felix Houphouet Boigny entered history as the first democratically imposed ruler in Africa, to take charge of Cote D Ivoire. This was the outcome of the meeting of an AU Panel after months of intense lobbying, campaigns and interest negotiations following the controversial second round of presidential elections of November 28, 2010 in the West African country. The AU thereafter urged the Ivorian Constitutional Council which had been rejected by the rebel leader to again “constitutionalise” Ouatara by inaugurating him. The Constitutional Council headed by a confidant of incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo had annulled provisional results published under controversial circumstances by a confidant of Ouattara who headed the Electoral Commission. On April 004, 2011 over 1500 French soldiers and 7000 UN troops alongside 10.000 rebels supported by UN and French helicopter gun fire bombarded Abidjan and kiilled several hundreds in the process. This was the last move to finally imposed Ouattara as president of Cote D Ivoire.

The current wave of events in North Africa indicates that true freedom can only come through a genuine popular revolt and not tele-guided by some external forces who claim to love us more than we love ourselves. The streets spoke and the Tunisian dictator, Ben Ali, a hitherto darling of those who claim to speak for the international community fell. The streets again are speaking in Egypt and another dictator who has oppressed his people and supported by the same group of external forces is about falling. These two events if totally successful in bringing about radical changes in the most facets of the Egyptian and Tunisian society according to the wishes of the people, would be in no way different from the Iranian 1979 Revolution that brought down the “international community” backed dictator or again the revolts could be likened to the 1879 French Revolution that transformed France.

In another secret
diplomatic cable of US Embassy in Paris, France dated September 09, 2008 and released
on January 09, 2011 by WIKILEAKS, it has been revealed that France has the
obligation to intervene militarily to defend the neo-colonial government and
secure its interests under the France Afrique secret deals signed with Cameroon
in 1960 and later modified in 1974 and that which was signed with the Gabonese
Government in 1960. The cable titled “France’s Changing Policy in Africa part
III”, states, “Equally troublesome and outdated are certain
"secret" portions of some of the Agreements. According to
Marechaux, the Defense Agreements with CAMEROON and
Gabon,
for example, contain "absurd" provisions obligating France,
upon request, to provide internal security in case of
domestic unrest in those countries”
As we continue to
deplore the continuous manipulation of Francophone Africa by successive
colonial administrators and their master France,
we also urged on the need
for us to come together and take our own destiny into our hands. Among others, we
have to cancel the so called “debts we owe” these vampires, as well as
nationalise all their assets and related unscrupulously-privatised corporations
in Cameroon and the rest of the continent. We express the urgent need to cut
all monetary (FCFA) ties with France and implore on our imminent future leaders to
work with them as partners if we must continue collaborating. Anything short
of this, we must also add and accentuate deals with potential partners
like Brazil, Turkey, Argentina,
Venezuela, Iran, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Mexico, South Africa, Malaysia,
Indonesia etc. Below is a WikiLeaks US Embassy-Cameroon confidential cable released on December 28, 201o and dated
July 07, 2009. It reveals how the vampires ruling
the Central African sub Region (CEMAC) through the regional bank BEAC, connived with France to steal billions
of our funds to fund French politics. Soon the same guys ruling us will go after loans
from this same France and her allies with fabulous sums as interest rates. Read on

In a recent WikiLeaks cable of the US Embassy in Cameroon revealed on December 08, 2010, the former US Ambassador Cameroon, H E. Janet Elisabeth Garvey expresses worries over increasing Chinese influence in Cameroon and the difficulties the “west” can face with increased Chinese presence in the country.
The cable dating February 18, 2010 and titled “China’s growing presence in Cameroon” also discloses that the ruling Chinese People Communist Party has strengthened its relations with the ruling Cameroon People Democratic Movement CPDM after the former gave some computer equipment to the latter.
