Paul Kagame granted audience to barrister Akere Muna . Comparable with other factors of leadership that Biya lacks, Akere Muna who declared his candidacy for the post of the President of the Republic of Cameroon. It's on record that the candidacy for the President of African Lawyers association was heavily supported by the present Ghanian President Nana Akufo Addo.
The Ghanian President elect Nana Akufo Addo invited some twenty Head of States, including Barrister Akere Muna of Cameroon and asked him when shall it be his turn to be the President of Cameroon. President Paul Biya who is gradually sidelined by the International community wasn't invited to the installation of the Ghanian President.
The humiliation he suffered in New York when he last attended the last UN General Assembly. President Donald Trump of the United States of America didn't allow Biya to participate in the dinar party offered by him for African Head of States. Barrister Akere Muna has a lot of international recognition amongst the English speaking communities and is the Vice President of Amnesty International.
The building of a seemingly fruitful relationship with the Nigerian President, Buhari Muhammadu has become sour because of the influx of the Southern Cameroon's refugees that number close to 70.000 refugees displaced and resettled in Calabar, Nigeria. President Paul Biya has only attended three meetings at the African Union Headquarters for his thirty five years of ruler ship.
President Theodora Obian Nguima of Equatorial Guinea has ordered the closure of his borders with Cameroon. Other Countries of the CEMAC zone are partially having good working relationship with LA Republique Du Cameroun, except for the Chadian President Eno Idriss Derby who pays allegiance to Biya because the Chadian Petrol passes through Cameroon. The state of Cameroon has been ruined by the syndrome tagged as Biya Camerounese .

Camerounese have done and are doing everything to fuel Anglophone consciousness. In spite of numerous calls from moderate Anglophone leaders for the “two Camerouns” to sit at the table to introspect and chart the way forward, there has been the mistaken belief by some fascist Camerounese that brute violence would do the trick. Till date, some are still under the illusion that sadism and killings are the unique option. SORRY!
One should have liked to see the oneness and indivisibility of Cameroun pragmatically. But truth be told, we see the opposite on a daily basis. What is all the worse, even official rhetoric has not been any helpful.
And so do we hear about “froidement assassinés” these days. When war was declared against Boko Haram, soldiers were either “tués” or “égorgés”. In the case of a war against Anglophones, Camerounese are unanimous that soldiers killing Anglophones are assassinated on the battlefield pursuant to a war they declared.
No-one needs to teach even a first degree imbecile that war means killing; and that there are inevitably casualties on both sides in every war. Under those circumstances, the term assassination is inappropriate generally; much less can it apply to any one side. An elementary notion of warfare is that you kill or you are killed: “kill or be killed” is the military jargon.
Those irrational attitudes only do drive moderate Anglophones into radicalism. And the situation gets more and more exacerbated by the apparent tacit official approval of private unhelpful utterances; and all the worse by official echoing.
It is regrettable that God gave us a land flowing with milk and honey; but we have, through greed and linguistic divide, transformed it into a land flowing with blood and beer. Yet in the hopeless expectation of escaping God’s wrath! Where “Thou shall not kill” has been repealed by a constitutional amendment!

A group of students have made their desire known to protest at the Minister of Administrative reforms office this Monday 18 December 2017.
They were highly dissatisfied when the final results were published. They could not find their names on the list, after the performance the candidates said they had. "It is very inadmissible that we have very good marks in the oral part of the exam and not be able to find our names on the list. We are not that bad to be disposed of so shamefully. There are certainly some modifications done on the final list of this exam" the candidates lamented.
The students said this protest of theirs is meant to propel admission by merit and nothing more.
They flashed back to the first lists which were published and republished, as a result of annulment by the Minister of Administrative reform, who did it with the pretext that the right procedure was not followed before publication. According to the enraged gandidates, the manipulation of these results started from that point.

Soldiers embarking at Egbekaw River in Mamfe on the perilous trip to Akwaya via Agborkem German to go and kill Manyu people. It is indeed a shame that these are the kinds of boats the regime is using to send its soldiers to their death in a place they don't even know. After 56 years of failed unification, the only way to get to Akwaya by road is through Nigeria, which cannot allow foreign soldiers into its territory as this amounts to a declaration of war; so they have to travel by boat....Let them come; we are waiting...the resistance just began.

President Paul Biya has made two damaging declarations of war against Boko Haram insurgents and the second declaration against the people of British Southern Cameroon's.
Both wars have rocked and shaken this nation like a ship baffled by life threatening storms.
Wars aren't declared in a hurray or in s rush. Before any war us declared, the Generals and the President sit to asses the level of preparedness both financially, materially and level of preparedness of the soldiers and their equipment that can guarantee successes and victories in the battle field.
Wars must be sustainable if they are to be declared. The situation on the ground in Manyu that talks about absconding soldiers fleeing combat and the casualties makes observes to conclude that the declaration was a false pass that the regime is regretting and lamenting about such a hasty decision.
Wars are a wasteful way in resolving conflicts and disagreements. The dialogue table is the cheapest pattern of resolving conflicts and managing crisis of any magnitude.
Today the fall outs of this declaration of war by the head of State of LA Republique Du Cameroun shall forever haunt LA Republique Du Cameroun.
