Biya
Last Friday in front of his hotel room in New York, protesters were chanting “Paul Biya must go”. This implies that Paul Biy’s longevity in power is at the centre of the Anglophone Problem. The current unrest is first of all a prove that his regime has been rejected. Thirty-five years in power! That’s too much!! When Biya came to power in 1982, the country controlled its borders and was equally united. Thirty-five years later, Paul Biya is ready to throw us into chaos. Our country is not only facing attacks but it is also on the brink of secession . In fact, Paul Biya governs only seven of the ten regions. The South West, North West and Far North have been destabilized. Worse still, the other parts of the nation are not safe from unrest. The East Region, for instance, is already facing attacks and occupation from some armed groups from the Central African Republic..
There is every indication Cameroon’s problem are Paul Biya and his bad regime.
With the current situation, there are only three things left for him to do in order to avoid chaos:
- Proclaim the calendar of his retirement from politics and public life. Paul Biya must decline to run for presidency. After negotiations, the state could, as the constitution(which he has twisted so well) stipulates, grant him the immunity and honour reserved for the head of state and his family.
- Sit at the negotiating table with all the components of the nation. It is high time Cameroonians sat at the negotiating table to discuss the future which they desire for this country. Thirty-five years in power has left many wounds. The people [of Cameroon] have been divided politically, ethnically and socially. The nation is in conflict with its diaspora. It is high time everybody was brought at the negotiating table to mend things.
- Undertake constitutional reform on the nature of the state. The current form of the state is no longer welcome. The centralized state has been useful only to a tiny minority. It is high time power was given back to the people through their elected representatives. Paul Biya must not continue to rule simply to live and die in power. It’s the future of this country and that of our children which are at stake.

"World financial institutions have so far been according us much confidence which is gradually helping us to attain our plan in terms of growth.
It is no doubt that we are facing falling prices of basic commodities of which fuel is not an exception, especially in the world market.
The sum of 667 million dollars, has been loaned to us by The International Monetary Fund. This collaboration is aimed at stabilising our economy and increasing job opportunities" the president explained.
According to him, much progress is being witnessed in Cameroon. He keeps on borrowing but we don't see what is being done with the money. It remains a wonder how it will be reimbursed to the lenders.

Meanwhile the leader of the gangster regime “papa” Paul Biya is being called upon by his followers from North to South, East to West, and even out of the country to present his candidature for the upcoming presidential elections next year, despite his over 30 years of arbitrary rule, others think enough is enough, including some of his close collaborators.
These close collaborators as analysed by Camer News, stand as a big obstacle to Biya in obtaining a sixth mandate for himself. Whether already in Kodengui or still moving around scot-free, they pose a big threat to Chantal’s husband given that they have foreign support which is making them stronger than he thinks.
Before the beginning of every of his mandates, according to Camer News, Biya always wanted a perfect government for himself and that is why he made sure he instructed the members of his government and their leader the Prime Minister, to leave no stone unturned to brilliantly transform the economic situation of the nation in terms of development, in order to improve the living conditions of the population.
All of these dreams have never been realised. Times without number, President Biya has signed documents authorising his so-called big projects which never end up being a reality. “I expect from this government, a new page as it engages in its specific duties, especially in those sectors where regular inactivity have set in. I equally demand of them manifestation of cohesion and solidarity in the exercising of their duties, which is a tenable asset of success”; those were His Excellency Biya Mvondo’s words during a council of Ministers which was held on the 03rd of July 2009. Four days after this, Philemon Yang was handed over the keys of the Star Building. In spite of all of this talking, Biya’s directives were never respected or executed.
Ministers, who are supposed to remain within the confines of their gruesome salaries, do not do so. They have big crocodile eyes that cannot stay of the contents of public coffers. They want to sweep everything away, not even accomplishing what they were appointed for.
Unfinished projects are now the order of the day. A good number of minister have been sent to languish behind bars in Kondengui, for swindling state funds, which were supposed to be used for State projects. These projects usually end up halfway or are not even started. There is the Bamenda ring road which is yet to be a full reality, as it is not yet complete. There are other domains of development, like the Lom Pangar hydro electric dam which Cameroonians wonder if they are eternal projects that don’t get terminated. This does not even move those in power to change their behaviour. They still keep on stealing money which does not belong to them.
If an investigation is done, it will be discovered that, all those who accuse others of embezzlement and secession, are the real secessionists themselves. They just want to hide behind and do their bad deeds.
At this point in time, even if Biya surrounds himself with the top body guards in the world, his security will still be at the mercy of some of his close collaborators who are just waiting for his downfall, not even for the good of Cameroon but for their own personal gains.

The Director of Civil at the Presidency, Martin Belinga Eboutou is reported to have been humiliated in Paris as he tried to negotiate for a tete a tete between Paul Biya and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.
The high level diplomat who is alleged to be on medical leave in France approached the French Elysie to begin procedures for the high level meeting . But instead of his fellow Director of Cabinet to appear for talks, Belinga Eboutou was received by an attache'e at the President. It still remains unclear whether both parties arrived at any concrete result.
The incident has left majority of Cameroonians smiling over the humiliation of one of Biya's closest disciples. It has also raised speculations as to how much money could have been mobilized for the trip. Since billions of tax payers effort is rumored to have been harnessed to bribe French officials to facilitate the meeting.
Paul Biya has been seeking for a chance to meet Emmanuel Macron since the dramatic election of the 39 year old into the Champs Elysee . He recently held talk with the French Ambassador to Cameroon, Gilles Thibaut who told CRTV reporters at the Unity Palace that a meeting between Biya and Macron is on the pipeline.
The reason behind Biya's desperate move is still unknown . But it's no secret that Macron wants a new order in France- Africa relations with Biya and other sit tight leaders scared of the unknown. The silence of the France's strong man over the Africa issue since his coming to power has unsettled most leaders including Biya who might want to use the meeting to size up how the French man sees him. The Anglophone crisis , the 2018 Presidential election and a potential Devaluation of the Franc CFA are some issues giving him sleepless nights and Macron's position on these files will enable Biya know where he is treading.
