Politics
I can only express regrets over those Anglophones who want to continue being slaves to LRC. Anglophones are once again on the cross roads of marginalization with the creating of the Constitutional Council. This is where I join BEN MUNA to say that Anglophones must continue to fight, even if it takes 100 years to liberate themselves from such captivity.
FRANCIS WACHE mentioned in 1996 that the AJIDJO/BIYA regimes have kept prostituting with the constitutions over time to ensure that an Anglophone never becomes president and that is a truism.
When the PM was Anglophone (FONCHA) under AHIDJO, the constitution was amended to grant succession right to the speaker of the national assembly. When the speaker of national assembly was Anglophone (MUNA) the constitution was amended and the speaker had to ensure a smooth transition of power by conducting elections in which he (the Speaker) will not be a candidate, invoking the maxim of someone not judge and jury in your own case.
When Biya came he ensured that the speaker remained francophone and now that the Constitutional Council is set up, the pioneer chairman is a francophone, so either ways, power remains in the hands of the francophones.
The constitutional council president has accession rights to the throne in the event of vacancy of the throne.
So where does that leave the Anglophones?
President of the Republic- francophone
President of Constitutional Council - francophone
Secretary General at the Presidency- francophone
Director of Civil Cabinet - francophone
Head of Economic and Social Council- francophone
President of Senate -francophone
President of National Assembly -francophone
Finally, prime minister who is a toothless bull dog comes after how many places in State Protocol? Even the Secretary General at the Prime Ministers office possesses more powers than his boss as the former receives direct orders from the Presidency, to the utter dismay of his boss and this post has been reserved almost exclusively for the Anglophones.
Biya has put in place his rigging machinery to ensure an absolute victory in the next elections, regardless of the fact that people are dying on a daily basis in the Anglophone zone. They will tell you that the youths are the leaders of tomorrow but an appointment of this nature has its youngest member being above 70 years then I begin to doubt what the above adage means. Perhaps someone takes delight in celebrating senility here.
At the height of the Anglophone crisis, the Common Law entrance exam that was organized in ENAM had just 02 Anglophones featured out of the 20 admitted candidates. Biya once again reminds Anglophones that they are a captured people who are used as a trophy to brandish to the captors. . Biya has once again reminded Anglophones as it has been said in several quarters that an Anglophone will never be president, reason why we must continue to use all means to fight.

Party Politics: Alain Christian Mboena appointed the new Secretary General of The Alliance Party( PAL)by the President of that political party, Celestine Bedzigui. This appointment was done on the 7th of February 2018. Alain Christian Mboena was appointed to replace Denis Emilien Atangana, who had decamped to the party of the flame, the CPDM.Whenever elections are announced across Africa, there is usually a lot of carpet crossing and political maneuvering. This drama is usually characterized by nocturnal activities influenced by financial seductions as well as promises. Whether these promises become materialized or not is another ball game.

Following a presidential decree signed on the 7th of February, 2018, elections for the senate shall hold on the 25th of March. Convening the electoral college with the sociopolitical climate still so tense, is frightening. It means that the President does not see the havoc rained on the two English speaking Cameroon as anything substantially substantial. The senatorial election shall provide the second batch of senators to be elected to the upper house of Parliament. This breaking news was aired by CRTV indicating that the said elections as well as others will take place this year. Municipal councillors,members of the electoral college and elections Cameroon have been informed that the voting booths shall be made available at each Divisional Head Quarters. Polls shall open as from 8am and shall close at 6pm. The presidential decree falls in line with article 216 of the Cameroonian electoral code,which demands that Senatorial elections be conducted 40 days before the expiring date of the current mandate.

If the nation still has a concinence, this is not what you do when the country is burning and people are being killed in cold blood!
Decision to organize more Expensive SENATORIAL Elecions now as opposed to holding instantly, the more important national DIALOGUE over the Southern Cameroons question should simply tell all of you that the Biya regime lacks the political good will to resolve the ongoing Southern Cameroons crisis peacefully.
It should be clear to everyone by now that some regime barons must be making huge profits out of the ongoing bloody war (that is claiming mostly the lives of our youth both in the military and civilians).
Another better explanation for this bad judgemental decision could simply be that Yaounde is not only completely out of touch with Buea and Bamenda but equally out of sink with the actual situation that prevails in the entire country today.
If meaningful dialogue is not privileged over fake elections, ANYONE helping in the fulfilment of this diabolic plan will be guilty of aiding and abetting darkness over light in Cameroon.
When injustice and torture become law, rebellion and resistance becomes a rule!

Keeping them honest: Ambazonia-to kill or let die a clear and present danger
Ambazonia, the spirit which now symbolizes Anglophone independence aspirations, is a child of incest, fathered by the gang rape of Anglophones by Francophones. It cannot be killed by force; only Anglophones can let it die
