Despite the fact that Senatorial elections are scheduled for March 25, 2018, Senate President, Niat Njifenji has gone ahead to convoke the upper legislative chamber to its first ordinary session beginning March 2, 2018; a session that is supposed to last for 30 days.
This begs the question: will these Sinators abandon the session to go on campaign since they are up for re-election? And if the 70 Sinators who are elected go on campaigns, what happens to the other 30 who are appointed by Biya? And come to think of it; the Sinators will be elected by an electoral college of Mayors and Councillors, whose initial mandate after the 1996 municipal elections expired for two years, hence their continuous stay in office that ended with the twin Legislative and Municipal elections in 2013 was illegal.
I think it was Lord Denning who said you cannot put something on nothing and then expect it to stand. An illegal electoral college can only elect an illegal Senate. Who says the impossible is not Cameroonian?

The speaker of the Cameroon's House of Assembly has summoned his circus clowns for another hand clapping session, so that government bills are rubber stamped into law. The main objective is the presentation of the eleven man bureau of the Constitutional council, recently appointed.
This body shall be in charge of the arbitration of the flaws and irregularities of the up coming Senatorial Election coming up March 25, 2018.. It's a routine of the National Assembly and the Senate to have their respective bureau renewed, but its not surprising that this wasn't a priority,since the CPDM has an overwhelming majority in both houses. Intervening in the context of the guerilla warfare used by the separatist in the North West and South West Regions, this time around the National Assembly shall discuss this taboo topic during this one month session.
Not forgetting that the once a taboo topic was brought to a poisoned session in December that was earmarked for the presentation of the state budget. The CPDM was vigorously opposed to this proposal from the Social Democratic Front, the main opposition party in Parliament, who were requesting that the topic be tabled Today the issues affecting the People whose cultural identity is Anglosaxon have become radicalized and hardened by the viciousness of the state militia in handling this crisis. This sociopolitical crisis has gone from bad to worse affecting national interest and the constitutional frame work.
However the people of Southern Cameroon's adamantly are asking which Constitutional frame work and legal justification are the Francophones buttressing? Where is the Federal Constitution and what instruments of legality were used to top due Article 47 of the Federal constitution. The peoples of Southern Cameroon's feel rightly that they have been short changed in a Union of equal status.
Francophones must be rudely reminded that there wasn't any Province or Region before 1977 except West Cameroon and East Cameroon. This falsehood of Francophones being majority and that the majority should swallow the minority was cooked up by French mechanism and today the results are here for all to see and behold. This poorly handled crisis, presumably as easy as anything that a military crack down was the magic wan.
The military even in the next one thousand years can't resolve this crisis. Ideological warfare can't be checked by an armed military.

During this meeting, Cavaye Yeguie Djibril reiterated his fervent appeal on the base for the support of the New Candidature of Paul Biya at helm of the state who has been President for 36 long years.
He went further by saying that much should be expected since the real campaigns shall begin next week, beginning with the campaigns for the Senatorial Elections programmed for the 25 th of March 2018.

The secessionists according to Dr. Frank Ebogo have moved from burning down state effigies, attacking structures like buildings and now have moved to s new gear, kidnapping of Administrative officers. This is an indication that they have grown in strength and stamina and their strategies aren't possible to be predicted any longer.
These declarations were made over the airwaves of Equinox Television channel. To have killed three Gendarmes officers and holding the Sub Divisional Officer of Batibo is a dangerous signal of more threatening attacks. Blames have now been apportioned on the Brigades Commander of Gendarmerie for Batibo.
This blame is just shifting of blames or a blame game. The assailants were supposed to have been neutralized by his elements if he was skilled and professional. The Strategist went further to say that even if it would have been somebody to be kidnapped, it won't have been Sub Divisional Officer, a symbol of state authority.
The brigade Commander would have requested for reinforcement since his area falls within a war zone. Taking into consideration that Batibo has a Gendarmerie Brigade and A Police Post, these two forces for the maintenance of Public order, would have been put to use. Then the most unanswered question that remains is " why didn't these forces pursue these assailants"?
