Cameroon: Violent methods to disperse the CRM demonstrations yesterday!

“the supporters of the mrc in douala organized aggressively and challenged the security forces” – René Emmanuel Sadi, Minister of Communication (CRTweb, 26.01.2019).

Yesterday, the Cameroon Renaissance Movement (MRC/CRM) had a plan to demonstrate yesterday in Douala. This was a planned demonstration from Maurice Kamto. Who still works to challenge the previous election and rigging on behalf of dictator Paul Biya.

Before, yesterday, we know the Biya administration have attacked the public in the anglophone region for long, the prolonged oppression public there. Biya has used the army to silence, burn villages and detain the leadership of the opposition there in the anglophone region. That has been going on, as well, as the ones who needed to flee or go into exile because of the situation that is created there. Therefore, we knew before yesterday rally. That the Biya government have no trouble sending soldiers and armed personnel against unarmed civilians. They do it all the time in certain parts of the Republic anyway.

There been reports of arrests about 100 people yesterday. The authorities was certainly ordered to shut it down. The authorities used live-bullets against unarmed civilians. We don’t know how many who got shot or how many died by yesterdays actions. However, this action show what sort of intent and use of power, the state does to its citizens. This a government that has gotten away with it in the Anglophone region. So, certainly, the expect to get away with this too.

The authorities have no claimed in the aftermath that the demonstration and rally was illegal. Also, claiming there was no use of live-force against the civilians attending this. However, the realities on the ground, the videos shown to the world. Show the vile attempts of shutting down the opposition.

There is also reports of the authorities has shot Michele Ndoki and Celestin Djamen, they are both in the hospital now. In Yaounde, the authorities also used force, tear-gas and road-blocks to stop the demonstrations. Therefore, the state uses all tools at their disposal to stop it.

While, that was happening in Douala and Yaounde, the same authorities used force against civilians in the South West Region, where they killed 10 people.

So, we know, they have no honour or care, the authorities uses all vile ways to stop people from going against the government. No voice is allowed. No one is supposed to question or even challenge it. If they do, they will face consequences. Peace.

Opinion: Bahati shows his ignorance concerning Bobi Wine!

That David Bahati had to speak out on the rise of Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine on the National Resistance Movement (NRM) Liberation Day/ NRM Day on the 26th January 2019 in Kabale. He like so many other NRM apologists and such is attacking Bobi Wine and message. They are doing the same to Bobi Wine, as the NRM has done for two decades against Dr. Kizza Besigye. Therefore, this is not a new trick.

He is in a long line of people mocking, judging and saying Bobi Wine doesn’t have it in him. Now, Bahati is telling the youth to shun and not join in. Like the NRM have delivered to the youth or even give what they need for their future. The NRM government haven’t delivered to the youth. That is well-known. Bahati should know this and really should been more apologetic about this.

Take a look:

Bahati was speaking at the 33 NRM anniversary celebrations in Ndorwa West Kabale district on January 26. Specifically, he told them to shun the People Power group, headed by Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “People Power is a minority in Kabale and if you choose to join them, you will be choosing a short term strategy,” he said” (…) ““Do not be diverted by self-seekers,” he told them” (Nakabuye, 2019).

What is really rich about this statement from the minister from the NRM, who is saying choosing Bobi Wine is a short-term strategy and calling him a self-seeker. This is happening on the same day, the President himself in his speech:

I treat Uganda as if I was running my own family. I tell my children the truth, I can’t plan carefully for my family and plan carelessly for the rest of Uganda” (Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, 26.01.2019).

When speaking of self-seeking, if you treat the Republic like family and run it like your own family. Than I understand, why Sam Kuteesa is around, why Janet Museveni is there, why such and such is working as Permanent Secretaries, which is all family members or kin. Because, the President is a self-seeking and hires his own family, making the government into family matters. That is not by default, but by choice.

Therefore, Bahati, telling Bobi Wine is a self-seeking individual at this point is rich. Especially, when it is known, that the boss of Bahati uses the Bank of Uganda as personal account and uses state funds as he sees fit. That is self-seeking and to own agenda, not for the betterment of the Republic. This is well-known and not rumours. Therefore, the Minister needs to pick other words.

Also, if they are speaking like this. That means they fear the ideals, the message and the position Bobi Wine has put himself into. Just like they feared and wondered how to contain Besigye. It is the same thing, but they are picking on him. Because, they need to put his mantle, while they are initially marketing his prospects even more. Peace.

Opinion: When did Kenyatta become a one-track pony?

President Uhuru Kenyatta is continuing his rants and promises to go against the ones who are corrupt in Kenya. That is become so old, that I think personally, that its only trick he has up his sleeve, except for a few PR Stunt any rare moment to look golden.

A One Trick Pony is defined by Merriam-Webster as: “one that is skilled in only one area, also : one that has success only once” (Merriam-Webster – One Trick Pony’). With that in mind, we can see that it fits Kenyatta well, because it seems like the only thing he has.

Not like it seems like he has the capacity or ability to do anything else. That is why CS Fred Matiang’i becomes his Mr. Fix-It and Mr. Clean. So, that he can ensure some parts of the Big Four Programme actually get done.

What is the legacy and salvage of this man, who every month and twice a week. Not far fetched, are ranting about fighting corruption, stopping corrupt behaviour, but not seeing any significant results. By all means, the chicken thieves are getting caught, but the ones selling chicken at the IEBC took their G-Walk and resigned. They got their deals and earned, but at a later date appointed elsewhere in the government system. That is just the way it is.

The President can speak ill of the practice, of the acts of illusion and the acts of supposed government activity. However, the reality is that his elite, his cronies and the ones associated with him. Usually his Cabinet Secretaries and other have been implicated, but not touched. The ones running State Owned Enterprises are also misusing their position to bag the public money. Same with the Commissioners and others doing it too. Therefore, the President does this, but only let people go, but after a suspension he cave and give them a new position.

That is why, it is boring reading the same-old, same-old story, that is on repeat. It has been said and ranted about for so long. The tale of battle against the corrupt officials, the appointed officials and the close associates of the President. The President are not going against them, but has issues with Local Government and Civil Servants, but they are eating small-fry, which is bad enough. However, when they look at the people around the Executive they seems like untouchable.

That is why certain can skate away, even some who has eaten for instance with the Eurobonds and the National Youth Service (NYS) funds.

This has continued, there are new proof, now it is the Weston Hotel and the ownership of Deputy President William Ruto, who grabbed the public land to build a luxury hotel. That is the capacity and ability of the people around the President.

Still, with that in mind. He still rants like there is no tomorrow. Everyone will meet the fires of hell, if they are even thinking of acting ill and do a fraud or cheat the state of funds from some government entity.

However, the rants are just empty talk. The threats and the warnings has been so many. That it has more discs than Michael Jackson. It has more tunes than any Mixtape Rapper out there. Because, Kenyatta does it on the regular.

It is time to stop the talk, because this is the one trick that he has. It is time for him to change and act real. Apparently, that is to much to ask. Since with all the years as Head of State. Kenyatta could have acted, but at this point it doesn’t seem real. Peace.
