Cameroon is a disaster waiting to happen
It was Lenin who advocated, in language worthy of Machiavelli, that one must embrace one’s enemy so as to easily suffocate him. The government’s pig-headed decision to arrest leaders of the Consortium after failing to reach a compromise with them at the negotiating table is an act of desperation, or worse still, a product of bad advice that serves no purpose, other than deliver the most embarrassing verdict on the government’s credibility and poor democratic credentials.
The gov’t should stop chasing shadows because you cannot conquer or defeat the quest for freedom with intimidation and brute force. The Consortium is a resilient spirit that is deeply embedded in the resolve by Anglophones to free themselves from the yoke of 55 years of Francophone bondage. Arresting Anglophone leaders is a meaningless show of crude power and a tragedy that raises fundamental questions about the President’s judgment and character. It is unacceptable and even less than honorable for the regime to resort to such executive lawlessness, which will do nothing, but close the door on dialogue and harden Anglophone resolve for independence.
The message must therefore be conveyed to Paul Biya in whatever language he understands, that Cameroon is a disaster waiting to happen and time is running out for the regime to figure out why the load on the head of a man with crooked legs remains permanently unbalanced. Mr. President, read my lips!
