| French President: Hollande |
The Bible in Proverbs is an excellent
source of wisdom regarding friends and truthful relationships. "A friend
loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity" says (Proverbs 17:17).
"A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who
sticks closer than a brother" (Proverbs 18:24). This
is so because in perturbation time, a friend like an iron can easily sharpen
another iron. At this point in time that Cameroon has launched a fierce war
against Boko Haram, it is important we sound alarm bells on the double edge
drama of France. Even though we have seen many of such sarcastic instances that
beg for answers such as the arms and munitions seized from Boko Haram insurgent
by Chadian soldiers which turn out to be French made, the publication of the
famous list by a French Catholic NGO, and the most recent publication by Le
Monde.fr (online) about the health of President Paul Biya, the question is why blow the
trumpet over nothing. The angst ignited by this infamous publication both from
opinion leaders and the common man in the street is indicative that Cameroon
has developed thick skin against French manipulation. Like a toad place in a
heating tube that keeps adapting to the changing temperatures, Cameroonians
have learned to be serene. In fact this issue brings forth many questions which
are begging for answers such as what do they want? I mean France.
Why is France making a storm in a tea
cup? Cameroon is not a country of scandals. Implicitly, President Biya should
have gone on tree tops to inform France that he wanted to go for medical
checkup if it were so. Naturally, President Biya is not a super human and could
fall sick as well.
Some people always believe that they
have ultimate wisdom and truth over us. Seemingly this has been the position of
France, but this time, they have mistaken a tree for a forest. Is La France
trying to play the ostrich? If that is their wish or plan, then they have
failed woefully. That is the reason why Cameroonians started questioning and
reflecting on the position of France, when French made guns surfaced in the
hands of Boko Haram insurgents. The question as to why French President
Francios Hollande has remained mute over this issue abound high. Of course, we
need not to go to TB Joshua to give us the answer.
A critical judgement analysis of the
relationship Sarkozy-Biya, Hollande-Biya, we do not need the services of a soothsayer
to mitigate the clear and present controversy. Now, they try to
hide this secret. They try to hide who they really are. They change tactics,
adopt out and try everything they can to keep their dirty little secret. But
watch the pattern stay the same. We are reminded of it everyday. It boils down
to this, in order for La France to maintain their privileged position of power,
the colonizer, God fathers; they are systemically an eye on Cameroon. Eeh
Longue Longue can tell it better. From a
critical point of view, is this not to arrest development, and this is their
area of expertise, the media. By now we should know who the enemy really is.
The disclaimer by Issa Tchiroma
Bakary, Minister of Communication speaks volumes. And
for once, Tchiroma spoke the minds of every Cameroonian. Public opinion in Cameroon however holds that this is an obnoxious plan to manipulate Cameroonians. Elvis Ngole Ngole is also of that opinion that it was a well calculated plan to distabilize Cameroon and it will not work. "This is a mercenary act" many have observed.
