well there is time for every thing. there is a limit any government like that of biya can suppress people. let democracy in nigeria take proper root and biya will know that he can suppress no longer. people have been ignorant in the past but not now that the world is a global village.when more people are educated especially from nigeria then biya will see more problem. an old man who want to die in office. shameless fellow. biya is a shame to africa just like the old fool in zimbabwe

Yes…Coronation of Biya and everlasting immunity…that is the kind of political change we get when we FEAR to fight the fight to finish.
We have nothing to fear but FEAR itself…so said Barack Obama.

Karl Marx died waiting for the day peasants will rise up against the bourgeosie. It never happened in his lifetime. Populists borrowed the concept, from Lenin, Stalin, Mao to Castro, and today Communism is the most misinterpreted economic concept. However, the shadows of that is seen in western misinterpretation of African Affairs since the cold war. A little strike here by hungry peasants, looting there by dregs of society are now broadly misinterpreted by bloggers and pundits. Cameroon is the most poorly understood country, from its soccer to its politics, by outsiders and exiles alike.

Hi Swesha. Thank for your clarifying comment. That should read worst violence in fifteen years.

I would like to correct something in this article, this is not ” the worst violence in two decades”, the worst violence was in 1990 with the “villes mortes” and coups braisés. I hope that it does not reach that level.
