CAMEROON: The Haunted Heart of Africa

Cameroon is the only country in Africa where those who campaigned, fought and died for the country's freedom and independence from colonial rule have never made it to power, where the ideas and ideals of these union-nationalists are still being suppressed by the unpopular system the colonial master put in place in the country after defeating these civic-nationalists in a bloody war variously described as France’s genocidal war in Africa.This retarding French-imposed system keeps the country trapped in poverty, corruption, underdevelopment, dictatorship, despondence, and cynicism, thereby making Cameroon the most mismanaged country in Africa, despite its material resources and the dynamism of its people.Questions loom:What is the way forward in dismantling the anachronistic system managed in Cameroon by the puppets of France’s political mafia in Africa called FrancAfrique, a political establishment of marionettes of foreign interests acting as looters and mercenaries in the country of their birth?Are we witnessing the last stage of the political establishment?Would incumbent Paul Biya's term of office current term in office be the end of this French-imposed system that the clear majority of Cameroonians loathe?Are the Cameroonian people prepared to do what it takes to stop Paul Biya from renewing his mandate or to prevent France from imposing another usurper on them?This account answers these questions and provides unique insights into Cameroon that explain why the country is considered the microcosm of Africa.Cameroon’s political establishment is made up of people who played no role whatsoever — whether as moderates or as radicals, or their heirs — in the cause for the reunification and independence of British Cameroons and French Cameroun. Which explains why they mismanaged the reunification project, so that the country is now in an armed conflict that risks degenerating into a civil war replete with the ingredients for a genocide.Read more
