Cameroon: Ministry of Territorial Administration – Press Release (12.03.2024)

Opinion: The Ghost of Geneva’s own goal…

“Our country, like many others around the world, is facing difficulties. However, leaving is not always the solution. Emigrate? Yes, but not at all costs. Moreover, you should know that while you yearn to leave, many foreigners are trying to settle in Cameroon, thereby confirming that ours is a hospitable country and a land of opportunities” – President Paul Biya (10.02.2024)

The Cameroonian President Paul Biya in speech on National Youth Day tried to sway public opinion and make a case to stay in the Republic. Which in itself isn’t wrong of a President or a Head of State. However, Biya is wrong person to say this and we know why…

Biya is living most of the time abroad. It is known that he lingers and lives in Switzerland. Switzerland isn’t a province in the English Speaking Cameroon or the French for that matter. Ambazonia don’t have the Swiss Alps or anything remotely like that. Yes, Cameroon has beautiful nature and whatnot, but its not the mountain of Switzerland. Which is where the President is known for residing and living. Alas, except for visiting the Republic on important occasions or for procedural affairs.

That’s why reading these words is unique. It is like we are supposed to give way and accept this gibberish. It is said like we don’t know how the armed forces are fighting the separatist in the English speaking regions. Not like we don’t know the regime is controlling everything and ruling by decree. Seriously, the lack of accountability and transparency is staggering.

Biya is acting like a colonial overlord from afar. He is ruling the nation by decree while eating scones and having the luxurious lifestyle of the rich in Switzerland. The man has been living large on the reserves of the state. He could do this, because he didn’t have to fear a coup or someone back-stabbing him.

That’s why it is really special that he said these words. Because he himself isn’t enjoying the opportunities of the Republic. He himself has migrated and left it behind. While he is still the Head of State of it. That’s what so unique about this old who has been in power since the 1980s. A man who stayed in office and not allowed anyone to become his successor. Therefore, he surely is a marble and a unique character at that.

Regardless of just that… the man should listen to himself speak and sometime even reconsider to say something else. We all know hypocrisy and deceit. This here isn’t beautiful or inspiring, but hallow words, which means nothing when he enjoys the perks of Europe on the salary and expense of the Republic of Cameroun.

It is messed up, but this is where we are in 2024. Biya trying to kick knowledge, but instead spits garbage. Peace.

Cameroon: The bookseller from Bamenda had deserved it all…

Today it was announced that John Fru Ndi was no more. A man who fiercely stood on the barricades and fought the good fight. He started the Social Democratic Front (SDF) back in the 1990s after the arrest of Yondo Black in February 1990.

From there he has participated in nearly every election to this date. The first one was in the 1992 elections. The first one where the regime of Paul Biya accepted multiparty elections and therefore Ndi could join in.

He became the voice of the opposition and the man to aspire to be. This man fought the Ghost of Geneva most of his life. Fru Ndi may never see victory or see his mission accomplished. However, hopefully someone in his party or another one can achieve it. To see another master and another Head of State, which isn’t a Biya.

All the time and towards any election. It was the battle between Biya vs. Fru Ndi. The bookseller was obnoxious and able to gain support. He did it naturally and could continue his mission. While Biya had to make fictious polling stations and rig the “elections” to win.

That’s why we never know if Fru Ndi won an election or was the righteous heir to the throne. He is the Cameroonian President many never had. He was a party leader and voice of reason. A man of his words and ability to gain recognition.

Maurice Kamto might takeover his position as the new opposition in town. However, he has to live up to the integrity and the moral force, which was the bookseller of Bamenda. A man who fought and fought until he couldn’t anymore. He wasn’t on the ballot in 2018, but he has been so steadily since 1992. So, we know that he tried and worked hard to get elected in the Republic.

It is sad that Fru Ndi never got to beat the ghost. He should have and it would have been an understatement to say the relief it would have given. Instead, the regime and Biya has continued to use the oppressive means and legislation to control all avenues to power. That’s what they have preoccupied with…. While eating lavish in the Swiss Alpes.

We need to mourn our heroes. The ones who is fighting the good fight. Along the way… it might seem useless, but the legacies of John Fru Ndi must live on. He stood on the barricades and fought for years against the brutal dictatorship of Biya. His activists and fellow comrades have paid a price. They have been arrested as bandits and whatever charge the authorities could come up with.

That’s why John Fru Ndi is now gone and in the second realm. He has left earth and isn’t walking among us anymore. However, his spirit and ideals will linger. As long as his fight and spirited journey is relevant. People will talk about what he started in 1990 and never was able to finish.

Joh Fru Ndi is the President Cameroun/Cameroon never had. A man who should have been and could have been on several instances. While the regime and their lackeys underscored and made it look like he underperformed. That’s what they do, and it’s been obvious.

Until we meet again. Aluta Continua. Peace.
