L’ Epervier Not Serving Genuine Cameroon


Fellow Cameroonians especially patriots and our friends, get set! No one is spared as long as this one-man-show reigns in Cameroon. L’Epervier (‘Sparrow Hawk’) and other setups said to be fighting corruption done not constitutionally but by one man – President Biya appointment is serving ulterior purposes not the people of this country.
Biya’s appointed ministers, directors etc especially those who eye his presidential throne are picked up, incarcerated by L’Epervier.
 Biya will likely make up charges and use this very structure for knocking any one who points out the ills of his regime. He will knock out the veritable opposition – with the slightest fault. However Paul Biya’s crimes are sky-high: The killings and maiming of Cameroonians at the launch of the SDF party in Bamenda over 22 years ago. The carnage and hardship – orchestrated death and poverty caused by lack of access roads, portable water, and good health facilities etc yet we are rich in natural and human resources, the enslaving education given Cameroonians who upon graduation become beggars unable to employ themselves. These are heavy criminal offences that warrant lifetime jail sentences for the state’s leadership – yet Biya over three decades, continues, with impunity, lording it over Cameroonians. History is yet to portray any civilization that emerged from poverty using intrigues as Biya does. The president and his cohorts go for health care in the Diaspora. It’s only the down trodden that have no choice than visit Cameroon health services. Yet the regime has come up once more with another hollow slogan of emancipation by 2035? – No way!
This country will never develop when laws for electing people’s representatives are CPDM-inclined tailored. The make-believe obtained in Cameroon does not solve hunger and related issues. The modus operandi of the incumbent regime fuels eventual rebellion and destruction in this otherwise incident free land.
 L’Epervier put in place by Biya, not parliament or laws of the country (constitution), is a weapon to maintain Biya/CPDM in power, as long as possible. 
However obvious criminals are mixed with these to make the exercise look right.

SDF at 22:Dividends, Expectations of the SDF revolution

Felix Teche Nyamusa looking into the past for the future


  Forcefully launched 26th May 1990 despite the butchering of six militants by the Biya anti-democracy regime, the Social Democratic Front, SDF today stands at crossroads with the none-provision of a sound electoral code. She has however caused irreversible changes in Cameroon .
          Paul Biya, president of Cameroon (for over 30 years) cum the ruling CPDM party and fans argued vehemently prior the 1990s that Cameroon was not ripe for multiparty democracy. They marched on the country’s major streets denouncing plural party politics as called for by the opposition. Their absurd doctrine despite records and witnesses to the practice of multiparty by Cameroonians before and at independence in the 1960s!  However Cameroon opposition’s crusade for alteration and the strength of global pro-democracy wind of change disfavoring dictatorship triumphed and arm twisted the powers that be to accept multiparty. The dividends of plural party practice here are enormous:
          After the thorny insistent start of the SDF party by John Fru Ndi and Cameroonians thirsty for positive change, the regime yielded to multiparty practice but, in a bid to down play the importance of opposition parties, opened wide the gates for political parties’ registration. Consequently hundreds of political parties have been legalized in the country today. The registration conditions are no more as stringent as there were for the SDF.
          Following the launch of SDF and the accompany euphoria for change, the hitherto timid media landscape widened – many print and electronic media houses created – though many with substandard work tools and conditions. Civil society organizations have blossomed and continue to grow in strength and number.
          Competitive vibrant local government units or councils now exist unlike the laissez-faire that existed in the one party system .Today municipal and rural councils irrespective of political party affiliation compete in what they offer their respective constituents
          The SDF revolution pricked Cameroonians to question the depth of their freedom. Cameroonians on exile returned home and some even got involved in active politics.   
          Today we have many conventional universities unlike the prevalence of pale diploma awarding narrow content higher institutions whose qualification are not meant to be recognized beyond Cameroon .   These and more including the psyche of Cameroonians has changed significantly. This feat however was not achieved paying less than the maximum price -maiming, killing, starving etc. Informed by the seemingly unending opposition literature, the expectations of Cameroonians for good life rises by the day!
           Many were those who thought apartheid in South Africa was not to end: Mandela 27years incarceration. ANC revolution span above 100years. The Obama change came after years of civil rights struggle (especially the marginalized minorities) in the USA . Resistance in Cameroon against injustice and foreign domination predates the Balis in the North west region,the Doualas of littoral, and that of North Cameroon to mention just these few. The UPC struggle for independence prior the 1960s and of course the ongoing SDF revolution and that of other opposition parties as well as civil society organizations points to a potential freedom resolve in Cameroonians. The electoral code and constitutional change is what the SDF and goodwill Cameroonians are presently on now. Any other wrangling(s) will likely be diversion and deceit. After 22 years of struggle SDF remains resolute, with a wide gap above her adversaries, to bring real change to Cameroon . Her programs are sluggishly piecemeal adopted by the CPDM regime.
Judging from the prevailing political ambiance in the country and the globe, Cameroonians likely will not accept this snail-pace development posture of the regime in place.
