In fewer than six months La République du Cameroun will have to hold “elections”. Things are falling apart as the centre can no longer hold.

It will be a chaotic event as Mr Biya is being “begged” to stand again as the “saviour”. That is not a surprise as there are no other contenders even within “his” RDPC ruling party. So how has it come to this, that at 92 and with failing health he is still being seriously even considered as a possible candidate?

Mr Biya has spent decades setting up and maintaining a tribalistic system where incompetence seems to be a requirement. Hence, the all the functionaries and “elites” of his party go out of their way to show how incompetent they are. They all state that they support the “natural” candidacy of Mr Biya, who is not well enough, and has not been well enough to run a bath. Mr Biya can be credited with insulating himself so well that non of the executive or rank and file of his RDPC dare point out the ever decreasing circle in which he finds himself. One brave member of the RDPC has pointed this out and remains at liberty, contrary to past form, where he would have been languishing in jail as soon as he dared…

From violating La République du Cameroun’s “laws” he has left himself outside the “statutes” of his own party which require him to have been “endorsed” in a congress. Of course that would have been a formality – so efficient is his insulation. The fact remains he is not healthy enough even to hold a congress in front of his captive audience! So how will he “run” La République du Cameroun when/if he wins the next “elections”? His “ministers” between filling their pockets and taking trips overseas for health care or to investigate “how embassies are using bilingualism” all insisting La République du Cameroun needs him to stand as the [violent and abusive] “father” of the nation.

While La République du Cameroun sleep walks towards chaos at the end of the year, their militias are still in Ambazonia committing with their usual impunity. For the last eight years they have gone from gleefully announcing the “neutralization of youths suspected of being separatist”, shooting toddlers on their way to kindergarten, murdering whole villages of pregnant women and children to, now maintaining a relative blackout on their continuing crimes.

There is slightly less intensity thanks to Ambazonian Restoration Forces’ self-defense efforts, which have come on leaps and bounds with experience.

As expected, other cracks are showing in Mr Biya’s regime and it is clearer and clearer that his time has passed. Mr Kamto returned from his rally in France [ yes France! why not?] and was only briefly obstructed before being allowed to go. This is contrary to previous practice when the regime broke limbs to dissuade. Mr Kamto even promised to “visit” the “Anglophone Regions” if elected president, as his first act to solve “the Anglophone Crisis”. Some might ask if the Ambazonian Liberation Struggle was so that we could benefit from a visit. The point is this would have been enough grounds to land Mr Kamto back in jail in the not-too-distant past, for “apologies for terrorism” or preaching “subversion”.

Earlier last week other oddities arose: Mr Bello Bouba Maigari, who has been a minister apparently since anyone can remember, and certainly since before the advent of Mr Biya, suddenly realized that the Biya regime has failed the people and is proposing to save La République du Cameroun – by running for the presidency himself. Better late than never! Thankfully he has not threatened to visit Ambazonia on being elected. Probably because he might be quite realistic about his chances.

Before Bello Bouba Maigari, Mr Issa Tchiroma did the unthinkable and said that he was leaving the coalition with thr RDPC “who had failed and harmed citizens in the forty-three years of Mr Biya”. To emphasize the point, he told his audience not to trust him, but instead consider him an enemy, if ever he came back to encourage them to vote for Mr Biya. It was akin to a famous Olympian saying “if you see me trying to row again, shoot me”. Just for the record, that Olympian came back, if memory does not fail, and won another medal. Thankfully everyone knew him enough not to take his word.

Should anyone take the word of Mr. Tchiroma. Afterall, he was the Communication Minister when La République du Cameroun propagandists thought it appropriate to make those “neutralization” announcements, making some of the “anti-anglophone” statements himself. Now, better late than never, he has even gone to the extent if stating that “anglophones”, as he mistakenly refers to Ambazonians, should have a voice to decide, including in a referendum! He even went out on a limb to rubbish the French proxy colonial “form of government”, namely a centralized dictatorship, of having failed and whose time had passed.

Chaos in coming to La République du Cameroun. Mr Tchiroma is still walking free! Mr Biya is not up to it!
