Economic Cleansing in Progress.

How Government under-develops the North West province: Economic Cleansing in Progress

By Ntemfac Aloysius Nkong Ofege

Although the neologism’ economic cleansing and economic genocide’ have rarely featured in the scholarly circumscription of extreme economic exploitation and intoleration between ethnic, tribal, socio-linguistic, socio-cultural and national entities, I would posit that the desire, inadvertent or programmed, by one socio-cultural group to exterminate another through acute deprivation, subversion of economic wherewithal and under-development, could only be termed economic cleansing and/or economic genocide.

In fact, the desire by a power-wielding majority group, for political expediency, to keep a perceived minority people within the unholy trinity of poverty, misery and despair is a form of ethnic cleansing/genocide.

The viciousness of such, often unwritten policies, is underlined by the observation that the victims of this persecution die slowly and at times without even realizing that they are the victims of an extermination process.

Economic cleansing, genocide and its associate ethnic cleansing within ‘multinational’ Africa states always have on the victimization side the group and aggregates that show a systematic tendency of challenging the status quo. The North West province of the current Republic of Cameroun will always be victimsed because North Westerners have a tradition of speaking out and challenging the status quo. How much exactly of the circa 1.6 BILLION FCFA annual state budget does the Biya regime actually spend in Bamenda and the North West? Name one known genuine Bamenda opposition hand who has benefited from a government contract?
The ‘majority’ group (Francophones), proprietors of the regime, are this day sharing the ‘spoils’ of war (outcomes, events, prebends, positions, projects) unevenly to profit its members and associates. Non-members, non-conformists and associates are excluded.
We would posit that various Francophone-led regimes in Cameroon have, with the aid of ‘collabo’ Anglophone compradors orchestrated a cataclysmic economic cleansing against Anglophone Cameroon in general and against the North West in particular. This genocide has been exacerbated by a perception, rightly or wrongly, that North Westerners have an extra-sensory perception of what is right or wrong with the system.

The fact about the matter is that between 1989-1997 a whole army of unfortunate Bamenda children gave their most precious possession – the lives and blood, in the euphoric struggle for change in Cameroon. The Bamenda Six who actually lost their lives on May 26th 1990 are just the icing on the giant cake of countless other Bamenda children who have suffered savage persecution, victimization, administrative detention, outright rustication, loss of jobs and other mental and psychological torture just because they stood up against the neocolonial system in Cameroon. Thousands of Bamenda refusiniks: men, women and children have suffered, silently or otherwise but they have suffered all the same because they or their forebears said: NGANG. Small wonder scores of Bamenda children are today in the diaspora, far away from home.
You don’t believe me? One half of the children of Bamenda have this day migrated to Douala to survive. The other one third, who can make it through, vicious smartness or otherwise are today reading this piece from the deceptively cozy confines of some hideout in the Diaspora, far away from home and yet longing to see Bamenda again:

Home Again! Home Again! Again!
When Shall I see my Home Again!
When Shall I see my Native land?
I Will Never forget my Home.

They that fought and ran away should remember that they shall fight another day. Even those who have remained at home are forever looking our through the window and forever ever longing to get out of the vile and oppressive prison that is Bamenda and the North West today.

Politics Na Njangi
Economic cleansing and genocide are articulate warfarist strategies. Their exclusionist and ‘starve-them-to-death-like rats’ modus operandi are common in the theatre where the ‘we versus them’ groundswells in individual and group interactions are never managed through free and fair democratic competition, the respect of social justice, and the general live-and-let-live but rather through a modern form of Social Darwinism – the survival of the fittest.
The fittest herein is defined as the group, which through subterfuge or pretence or unbelievable luck, is able to hijack the neo-colonial state and hence controls all resources, events, outcomes and influence.
In the particular context of Cameroon, the surviving clique is neither the most intelligent, nor the most resources nor the most qualified. The fittest has always been composed of a gung-ho of half-baked serfs and boutiquiers, trained in and put in place by the neo-colonial forces; persons ever willing to keep the storehouse for their French masters and persons ever- willing to stand on the perron of the Elysee Palace in France and declare sagely while beating the chest that: ‘Je suis le meilleur eleve.’
Naturally, the local boutiquiers are often Machiavellian and astute enough to realize that to keep power they must recruit other boutiquiers to share power with i.e. other mini-storekeepers of sorts to keep watch over the French masters storehouse with them. Peter Mafany Musonge is a very good boutiquier. Before him Pa. Simon Achidi Achu was another grand boutiquier.
Pa Simon Achidi Achu remains an enigma in many ways. Porotique (politcs) na njangui, the man intone at some point of his life when he passed around for the Prime Minister of Cameroon all in an attempt to make the North West – his natural constituency – believe that development projects could only come if North Westerners joined the CPDM. At which the ever-unfathomable Bamenda people told Achidi Achu to get lost. Which kanna time we go chop Achu ye own njangi?
Economic cleansing and economic genocide are always dependent on the ‘brawn’ of the individual or group aggregates which manage to hijack the instruments of power, prestige and privilege (the state) and, which, like local Serbs, do everything to sustain the hegemony and preserve the status quo.
Robert Bierstedt captures the essential minority Anglophone (and North West) dilemma in the context of economic cleansing as obtains in present Francophone-led Cameroon when he says:
It is the majority…, which sets the cultural pattern and sustains it, which is in fact responsible for whatever pattern or configuration there is in culture. It is the majority, which confers upon folkways, mores, customs and laws the status of norms and gives them coercive power. It is the majority, which guarantees the stability of the society. It is the majority which requires the conformity to custom and which penalizes deviation – except in ways in which the majority sanctions and approves. It is the majority, which is the custodian of the mores and which defends them against motivation. And, it is the inertia of the majority, finally, which retards the process of social change.
It other words the very corrupt, morally bankrupt and decaying political system in Cameroon today was erected by the Francophone majority and some Anglophone collabos who joined them in setting up this crime syndicate. These local mafia dons are still around and about watching over their investment with Al Capone’s shrewd vigilance: terrorizing dissenting voices and victimizing them, stigmatizing them, haunting them, exorcising them, chasing them into exile or at best treating them like outcasts and politically cleansing them.

Holier than Thou
Francophone Cameroonians, members of the system would gleefully Anglophones and North Westerners of (1) refusing to be Cameroonians or (2) carrying the pitchfork of empty righteousness too high whereas they are part of a system where the ends justifies the means. To the average Francophone, the Anglophone leaders and their cupidity are responsible for the sorry state of the province today. In other words, Anglophones are North Westerners are pretenders who claim that they are neither thieves nor corrupt whereas to survive, everybody in Cameroon today must be on the take. There could be some truth in this. Of the over 200 people (with a certain Mr. Paul Biya at the head for 3.2 Billion FCFA) who took huge loans from the defunct SCB bank, there were less than 10 Anglophones. SCB went under with a huge debt of 150 Billion-FCFA bad debts to this day. Past and present Biya ministers served themselves out of the SCB trough…the least amount was 50 Million! Names like Mbombo Njoya, Bello Bouba Maigari, etc. appeared on the published list of SCB debtors.
But in all fairness to the pioneer Anglophone leadership it should be understood that they were only ‘collabos’ in an establishment, which, national unity sloganeering aside, proscribed them from being too strong in their home base – strong financially, socially and politically!

The Telltale Signs of GUIZOTISM
Guiziotism named after an ancient French Finance Minister is a modus operandi in which political appointees are so named not so much for their competence but because they would serve as the feedback loop and umbilical cord to channel state resources to their various constituencies.
The tyrant Ahmadou Ahidjo practiced Guizotism to the letter. Ahidjo’s Guizotism and his concept of governance made his appointees and compradors (even the Anglophones like Muna, Foncha, Tabi Egbe, Nzo Ekanghaki) not only full-fledged members of the hegemonic alliance but also key players of the ‘feedback loop’. They were supposed to channel ‘development projects’ gleaned from the ‘war-front’ to their constituencies.
Today, with the clarity of hindsight very visible before us, we now see that all what our successive ‘soldiers for development’ - Vice presidents, Speakers of the House, Ministers, Vice Ministers, Secretaries of State, Parliamentarians, Directors, Provincial Delegates, have brought home from the ‘war-front’ have either been their now-rounded selves or dastardly trinkets. Foncha John Ngu brought back his private fishpond. Muna erected the huge Abi prison to, without doubt, jail those who would forever hail him as: Mr. Backstabber. Francis Nkwain claims that the Bamenda-Fundong road, erected thanks to the efforts of a former German Ambassador is actually his handiwork while Pa Simon Achidi Achu is still beating his chest and claiming that the portions of the Bamenda-Nkambe road that show some ‘soupcons’ of tar got to that state because he was Prime Minister.
While the army of true defenders of the cause is known, the legion of the traitors, the pretenders and their offspring are also known. Without getting into specifics the Bible says that the sins of the fathers would be visited upon the children unto the fourth generation. He who has ears should hearken.
Peter Abety left a wee bit rounder than he got in as Minister in charge of Special Duties and that is that. Ephraim (A)ngwafor, an un-genuine intellectual, who is so scared of the regime and retribution that he thought that a book paying glowing tribute to his birthplace, Victoria, could only be titled: MAY FORMER VICTORIA SMILE AGAIN, is now in as Minister in charge of special duties. May the current errand boy fare better.
In case you do not get the joke, my friend, former Victoria does not exist. The learned? Professor probably meant MAY FORMER LIMBE (which is VICTORIA) SMILE AGAIN. Ephraim (A)ngwafor was only man enough to write MAY FORMER…
This person got so mad at me onetime when I pointed out this slip of his pen and the leak in his fly that he threatened to chase me out of the Political Science programme in the University of Yaounde’s School of Journalism. That time, and thanks to the timely intervention of his father, the Fon of Mankon - the regal and robust Angwafor the Third, Ephraim (A)ngwafor had been promoted to something in one of the Faculties in the University of Yaounde.
Mr. Biya still operates Guizotism. The likes of Francis Isidore Wainchom Nkwain, John Begheni Ndeh, et al. were only appointed ministers to act as the feedback loop for their various constituencies. Unfortunately, these people ‘chop belle full and go’.
Belle go befo and the North West go fo back.
However it has not always been that negative, Kudos to the Late Fonka Shang (Shanka Fong, Charlie ‘The Menace’ Ndichia called him) who was moved to start the TADU DIARY in distant Bui division. Tadu remains a worthwhile initiative.
While he passed around for a Biya Minister, Peter ‘Awing boy’ Abety…Professor? Peter “Awing boy” Abety thought he could subvert the then existing North West Cultural and Development Association, NOCUDA, by joining with some pro-regime hands to invent some figment of his own imagination called the North West Development Association, NOWEDA. Now the idea of a development conflict coalition is not bad per se. The only problem is that these local apparatchiks soon turned NOWEDA into a weapon of political survival and an outlet to permit them position themselves so that they would eventually grab contracts that they never intended to execute. The NOWEBA hands (while being ministers soon transformed into contractors) and went about carrying the pitchfork of searching for contracts extra high.
Now when pennies grudgingly awarded for the development of the North West are stolen by North Westerners then it becomes a matter for a popular inquest, a wake and a tribunal. Lynch mobs ought to appear to do something about the red horns and long tail that must leifer be present on these thieving devils. We all know the story of the Technical High School in Mbengwi, the case of the Wum roads, the case of the Ako roads and the endless list of North Westerners who took vast loans from Cameroon Bank and have just refused to settle. SDF MP for Boyo, Paulinus Toh Jua, about the last of the Mohican Managers of Cameroon Bank should tell us more about Cameroon Bank saga. Sometime. With his role elucidated, hopefully.

The Perpetual Backstabbers
The essential observation is that ‘we hand dey for the thing wey happen for we’. Cases abound wherein North Westerners, for one excuse or another have actually petitioned against development projects coming into one locality or another. A case in point. The Bafut Beagles are still sustaining a do-it-to-death battle against the Bande (Mankon) Achu-eaters over the ownership of the ghost Bamenda International Airport. Never mind that the last plane to land on this airport was probably in 1985, during the CNU-CPDM Congress but Bafut and Mankon are still showing the spot where the airport should have been and claiming ownership over the outback.
Who has not heard the epic fight between a still project called SITEPCAM and ISAIAH BONGAM over a waste piece of mangroves in the hills of Santa. While Bongam and Kimbeng fought, SITEPCAM died. Today, what should have been a huge enterprise, founded on the logic that the North West could sell eucalyptus poles to Morocco and Gabon for vast sums, is now dead. In fact, it never took off because Bongam (who laughs when I tell him that he owns the courts) somehow jailed Kimbeng whose idea SITEPCAM was in the first place. Today the projected head office of SITEPCAM stands upon the hills of Santa, a ghost, unfinished and abandoned building and the exact symbol of man’s inhumanity to man. Bamenda man answer: how many times has your viciousness led you to block or hijack a project simply because you never conceived the project. This scribe is today fighting for the life of a radio project called CBN- The Cameroon Business Network Radio. I told some typical blueblood Bafut man and many others about it. Believe it or not the fellow ran to the local delegation of Industrial and Commercial development a registered…MY RADIO into his own name. Caught this stark raving illiterate and a typical ‘seven cata’ registered another radio called CRN…Community Radio Network.this time in his own name!
We are in Court!
Ironically Bamenda’s collective of 419ers are doing their own bit…erecting giant structures around and about without doubt out of the proceeds of decent cons orchestrated worldwide with successful alacrity.

Of baboons and Chimpanzees

Cameroon’s corrupt political system has a way of recognizing and its own – the pretenders, the fifth columnists and the devious ‘collabos’ who go through the motions of opposing but who are actually subtle regime couriers and supporters in the dark. In fact purported opposition hands who have mounted the soap box to pretend that they are fighting for the development of the North West while actually fighting for their own often vast stomachs are about the most vile sorts there are. These fellows deserve more than tar and feather. They ought to be decently tied to the stake and decently shot.
Narcissistic John Fru Ndi, for example. And his relative, the approximate Joseph Mbah Ndam. Mouths full to bursting at last. Today, without actually putting him on the government payroll, Mr. John of Ntarinkon, whose genealogy can be traced to neighbouring Babadjou, will always get a Biya ‘grant’ whenever he is taken ill or whenever the tale comes from the hills of lowly Baforchu that a Fru Ndi parent has checked out. The selfsame Mr. John would always bray: BOYCOTT FRENCH PRODUCTS but would always turn around to house the French gambling and horse-trading-concern PMUC once translated by this scribe as PARIS MUST USE CAMEROUN. And, you bet, the gambling concern PMUC is so lethal in these parts that this scribe spent time discussing his ‘viciousness’ with the local GESTAPO.
The current SDF Parliamentary Group Leader, Joseph Mbah Ndam in a way captures the quintessential SDF tragedy today. While the leader of the pack, Mr. John of Ntarinkon has now gone from a mere bookseller to a wealthy man; the SDF parliamentarians are today big belle contractors – gleaning contracts from the regime that they intend to deliver after some slipshod work or after no work at all. Others like Mbah Ndam and the now-ex irreverent Questor Andrew Akonteh believe sincerely in their simple minds that the battle was won the day they crawled from the woodwork to wine and dine with the likes of Cavaye Yeguie and to stand close to Mr. Biya in official events. To those villagers those events represented the pinnacle of power. A pity. Faulted in a recent press report that he grabs out-of station allowance of 250.000FCFA a night! And that he is only active when it comes to blackmailing (not arm-twisting) the government to extort money from the regime and to erect for himself a grand emporium in…Yaounde, the erstwhile Mbah Ndam, a little man from outback Moghamo, who unfortunately heads the SDF Group in parliament, retorted: you people ought to congratulate me for building a house. It should have been terrible if I never had a house. In Yaounde, of course. To put it crassly Mbah Ndam and the rest of the SDF parliamentarians are this day pretending to be representing and fighting to garner development projects for the North West masses. In reality these fellows are petty contractors kowtowing to every CPDM minister in quest of contracts that the do not intend to execute – self-development in a way.
Had Mr. Fru Ndi spent any time reading some of the books that he sold he would probably have landed on Chinua Achebe’s time-tested verdict (See The Trouble with Nigeria by Chinua Achebe) that whenever tribal and blood relationship take a head over competence and merit in the award of public office, the job suffers. Mbah Ndam only became Group Leader because of his close family ties to Mr. John of Ntarinkon. ‘Double-face, smug, careless-easy-going in the wrong sense. Clearly lacking in vision, originality and creativity…a vulgar parvenu’ is how Cameroon’s gadfly, Bate Besong, views this Mbah Ndam person (see The Post No (0569). Look closely at this Mbah Ndam fellow nowadays, his fat face would shimmer and Cavaye Yeguie’s vicious glint would appear in its stead.
A local newspaper, The Heron (No 0070) reports that beyond swiping money destined for the running of the SDF Parliamentary Group Secretariat and beyond putting himself on lucrative foreign missions Mbah Ndam pocketed some 289 Million FCFA bribe money to hold back the SDF deputies from marching upon Etoudi! Replacing baboons with chimpanzees indeed.

Economic Cleansing in Practice
The results of forty years of state-sponsored economic genocide are tangible all over the North West province today. The dearth of industries and factories in the province remains frightening. The absence of development is measured in the abandoned project Hotel des Finances still uncompleted since 1985 and still lording it like Banquo’s Ghost along the Ayaba Hotel Road. The Ayaba Road itself remains impassable today. One year ago, a mudslide cut through the Old Town Bend. One year later, the gully is still there unrepaired. Small wonder the SONAC Street Road has been used and overused. Traffic jams to Mankon Town proper begins at the Ngen Junction!
Economic genocide is not only registered by the fact that the Bamilekes are today buying over all priceless land and realty in Bamenda. It is not even registered by the sneering observation by one ‘Military Governor’ deployed to Bamenda to ‘restore the authority of the state’ that government is responsible for the cash crunch currently facing the province because ‘vous etes tous des opposants.’
Economic cleansing goes beyond this snide from a former Bamileke Governor of the North West province, Kouambo Adrien, that the Bamilekes are only using the Bamendaman to solve their economic crisis. It is more vicious than that. It is a policy sponsored by the neo-colonial state in Cameroon.
The outcome of economic cleansing and genocide goes very deep. Were all development to be ascribed to the materialistic (savage capitalistic) viewpoint of development as a ‘simplistic increase of material wealth’ then the tall buildings being erected by out-of-towners in Bamenda could be deceptive. Were development also ascribed to the number of giant emporiums, the mileage of tarred road, the number of posh cars and the general hustle and bustle evidence in Bamenda today then fanatics of the superficial and telescopic visions would ready Bamenda wrongly.
Because, to agree with Professor, Adebayo Adedeji, onetime Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Africa, development cannot be limited to accumulation through graft and Guizotism. Graftsmen, Feymen, spare part-sellers who abound in Bamenda today, do not constitute development poles. Rather all development paradigms that insist on a visible and tangible improvement of the ‘well-being’ of a people and the community have been adapted by the Economic Commission for Africa and the African Development bank and other refusiniks of savage capitalism and graft as solid evidential of the progress of a people.
The streets in Bamenda this day may be busier than usual; giant buildings may be rising, there may be many more cars but, take it from me, poverty, misery, aids abound. How many people die in the North West today for want of f basic drugs? How many go hungry, fall sick and even die because Junior in the USA has not sent the money through First Trust, Western Union and soon Savanna Cooperative Financing? Here is a province where, like Cameroon, less than 10% of the population owns 90% of the wealth? Here is a province since wallowing under a silent law that no finance institution should keep more than 50 Million FCFA in its account for 48Hours: Ship the money to Bafoussam! Here is a province where the headquarters of its main businesses are in Bafoussam! Here is a province whose population cannot feed itself, whose denizens live in hovels, whose children cannot go to school let alone pay fees. Here is a province whose youths have been identified as being responsible for 2/3 of all armed robbery in their own town and Douala. Here is a province made to pay through the nose for water that they have a surplus of and for electricity that can be produce and distributed almost for free locally. And so on.
We now shout, if we must, that any agenda, NOWEDEP, SDF, NEW DEALISM, Communal (MIS) Liberalism, Power-to-the Peoplelism, Social (MIS) Democratism, Green Revolutionism, Planned Liberalism, Frundism, Biyaism that does not actually uplift the lot of the people and facilitate man’s natural and eternal pursuit of happiness, belongs to the realm of empty rhetoric, sloganeering, generalized fraud and thievery.
And when such slogans are foisted on a people so that they carry banners and pitchforks while the ‘enlightened despot, Grand Camarades, charismatic leaders, petty traders and their cohorts’ line their very deep pockets then….

For Whom the Bell Tolls
To conclude this epistle when the exploited are exploited even further by the leadership of a political NGO, anchored on the seductive mantra of ‘CHANGE! POWER TO THE PEOPLE! but which, in reality are just wolves in sheep’s clothing, petty businessmen and traders; persons trying to graduate beyond book-selling and petty trading then exclusion and economic genocide tend to annihilation. If the pro-government soldiers of development have nothing but the resounding sound of failure to report, those in the neo-opposition front are guilty of an even greater betrayal. Years later, it is now clear that all that much ado was about nothing. It was a simple matter of an attempt to replace the heinous CPDM baboon with the even more noisome SDF chimpanzee. The onetime crusaders for change have now materialized into their real selves – wolves in wolves clothing.
Albert Mukong who initiated the movement and Daniel Awah Nangah who bankrolled the SDF (ironically North Westerners all of them) never wanted a political party to wrest power from the Francophones in Yaounde. Mukong’s perception of the SDF was that of a means to resolve the global Anglophone problem while Nangah wanted to get even with the Francophones who had used blackmail and Cameroon bank to deal a deathblow to his businesses. By the way, who told these Bamenda men that they had a divine mandate to change Cameroon? Did it not occur to these folks that the pigs across the state line might just be comfortable wallowing in their own muck of absolute corruption, base tyranny and under-development.
I would surmise that the subversion of hope, the shelving of ideals and the transformation of Power to the People to Power to the Stomach is treason most vile. Strangely the North West, which stood out and gave its blood to challenge the Power-to-the-Stomach hellcats in Yaounde, is now very complacent when the neo-hellcats brandishing the same slogan! After all these are its own people!
There is a price to pay and the North West will continue to pay the price. It is a sublime fact that when ‘reform first’ as a paradigm for ‘momentary political disequilibrium’ fails then those who survive the botched coup d’etat and still keep power go for the jugular of those who attempted the coup. The North West is today the inadvertent victim of persecution; persecution because, between 1989 and 1997, a certain FAMILY AFFAIR political NGO (Non-government organization) called the SDF came charging after the bone of political power in Cameroon and failed. Today, the SDF leadership is the neo ‘collabo’ – actually winning and dinning with Mr. Biya and, hilariously, standing in the way of who still think that the system must be challenged. SCNC hands pitching for a complete rupture with the system have to watch over their should lest SDF informants like Mbah Ndam are around and about: a sorry tale indeed.
At best, these fellows of little virtue and vision are plotting to tradeoff their ill-gotten position to some partners across the Mungo. What makes Fru Ndi think that a pure product of the neo-colonial state like Ndam Njoya can carry the baton of change? Why this feudal prince would only return to the status quo ante.
This maybe explains why persons like Dr Christopher Formunyoh, a Batibo man, and a North Westerner who, reportedly, has ambitious to unseat the old Lionman of Etoudi should think again before lurching out. Hasn’t the North West suffered enough from designed-to-fail schemes? Now before you start getting me wrong…listen. Dr Formunyoh is a friend, a good man, and probably one with a good heart and intent. The fact about the matter is that Mr. Biya’s fraud machinery as embodied in his administration is so entrenched that only the Howitzer, the Bazooka or the AK-47 can blow it apart. There comes a time when even democrats have to understand that democracy cannot be grafted upon a vile, corrupt and underachieving neocolonial state.
Clean the Augean stable first, Sir! With bazookas blazing.

heart and intent. The fact about this matter is that Mr. Bi ya fraud machinery as embodied in his administration is so entrenched that only the Howitzer, the Bazooka or the AK-47 can blow it apart.Let us start from his appointed S.D.Os all over this statocratic pays.

[Maggie]

I hope that Mr Bisong ntyui Thomason will indeed be in the frontline with his family when "the Howitzer, the Bazooka or the AK-47" start raining bullets.

And I really do hope no one very close to him gets appointed as one of those 'statocratic' SDOs.

We as Cameroonians are definitely not happy with the state of affairs in this country. But we as one of the most educated and enlightened peoples on our motherland 'Africa', should speak with a bit of knowledge - looking at what is happening all around us.

Having our families together, even in poverty is better than apart and in worse conditions than now. Did you sit to think about the consequences that come with those Bazookas. Like a dead parent, a raped sister or a maimed brother. What of orphans. No schools. No home to call yours. And with a failed state due to war....you'd finally have no country. I have worked with the Red Cross and seen CAR refugees in this country looking helpless and simply wanting to go home no matter the efforts made on their behalf.

I would like to ask you dear sir, if you have ever heard the sound of a gun shot next to you? If yes. Have you been shot at before? If No. I have and I can tell you its different from 'words'.

Even if you intend for us to attack those in authority because we are actually the government....remember these are peoples parents, sons and daughters, no matter our grievances with how things have turned out. The truth stands that once you pick up weapons, anything goes. People lose control of that which is human in them once they have these mighty weapons you seem so acquainted with. Kenya is a glaring example.

What amazes me is why a wounded man would see a healer and a waterfall and prefer to throw himself over the edge. Why can't we be the difference in Africa? Show both ourselves and the West that it is not a new trend (internal wars) for Africa. Why can't we be the pace setters?

Before resorting to arms, what other means have you sought to aid your people? Or is killing them the only solution? I guess you know the root causes of our problems? What are your strategies for dealing with them? Is there no other way to convince and awaken Cameroonians to "Mr. Biya fraud machinery" as you call it? Even if you say blood has to be spilt sometimes to get the end result. I don't deny this. I just believe, even then it should be done with a lot of deep thought and planning, so as not to involve the innocent. Come to think of it, with a country as diverse as ours...that will still spill over somehow.

Anyways, I'm not trying to stand in the way of anyones' beliefs. Just trying remind us that there is a time for everything and good things come with a lot of planning and adjustments. But if blood has to be spilt, i hope those who call for it will be in the country ready to give theirs at the first call. Not merely stand by as instigators.

Nice article thanks for sharing this!I like, I am the first time on this site and am really enthusiastic about and so many good articles. I think it’s just very good.
