Charades Continue as Invisible Man continues bid for 8th Term – they are no longer pretending that he is “doing anything for himself”. His “supporters” are meeting him by proxy! He has had the seventh term by proxy and his proxies now think his invisibility is … invisible!
In La République du Cameroun they have a few gems they roll out to describe and lament their plight. Every time they[resigned lamentations] are deployed, they [the victim-citizens of La République du Cameroun] must think “We have heard this before! Think of something new!”.
Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun is the most apt encapsulation of the helplessness that encompasses the victims of LRC.
How is it that “the favourite to “win” the election” has not even been seen declaring his candidature? Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun.
Why are the bishops trooping to Etoudi to support a political venture against their “flocks”? Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun.
How did the bishops cope with the idea that they did not meet the person they went to meet and been seen supporting? le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun.
OK so men of God should be peace-loving but surely they are not just supposed to preach “turn the other chick” without any pretence of seeking justice! How can they preach that while rushing to be seen supporting the party slapping they chicks?
What about the rag-tag group of “North West Chiefs”? When did North West Chiefs become messengers to travel to another person palace and stand to deliver a message? How did they cope with the idea that they did not even get to see the person they went to support and be seen to support? Le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun.
As they persons insist on be referred to as North West Chiefs, they are not fooling anyone, least of all themselves. They know that North West Chiefs are servants of their people who guard their people’s dignity.
Since these persons were mute at home burnings, killings of their youth, killings of toddlers on their way to school and all the other indignities and harms, to which their people have been subject for such a long time, they know that are not North West Chiefs. Even if le Cameroun C’est le Cameroun, North West Chiefs have not become messengers and supplicants who turn up to worship an absent invisible bloke! Not in our name. As they have voluntarily made laughing stocks of themselves Le Cameroun c’est li Cameroun is not enough to save face even to themselves.
Now to the invisible man – how will the invisible man run for a new term without appearing? Well, as le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun, it is possible that the same coterie which has declared his candidature without him, will run his campaign without him [or the electorate] and declare his victory without him needing to appear. After all, le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun. When this victory to the invisible man is declared, will the French turn up to congratulate the invisible man in his absence? After all, la France c’est la France, right?
One thing is for sure, when this macabre charade ends in three months, Ambazonia will be blessed to have been separated from La République du Cameroun.
What Ambazonian Citizens should do.
Collaborate: On the ground, Ambazonian citizens should work with each other to take their destiny in hand. They should have the courage and dignity to ignore the occupation. The thugs blocking your paths are not better than you. If you work with the ARF+, their stay on your path will be short-lived as their impunity will be removed. le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun will not save them because Ambazonia is not in La République du Cameroun. If they are expecting to keep playing games of “deference” where, apparently Mr Biya The invisible is so above all the electorate that he does not need to appear to declare his own candidature, to address the electorate for his own term, or even do anything during his expiring term, apart from letting it be said that “things are done in his name”, they have lost it. There is nobody at home. There dam will burst soon – inevitably and we need to have the courage of our convictions and take charge of our country
The ARF+ need to collaborate with, and protect, all civilians to ensure that have a demonstrably better standard of life and livelihood compared to what they get from forceful occupier, La République du Cameroun. That should not be too onerous considering the absurdities that the occupier passes under the filter of le Cameroun c’est le Cameroun. It will also provide a safer environment for ARF+ when they and our citizens feel the dignity of our collective belonging and civilisation. It takes only a very small step and thankfully, Ambazonia is now at a juncture where everyone has learnt. We need to apply that learning in choosing who we go with for our long term future. With our civilians empowered to take charge of their socio-political development, life will be safer for all of us as they cannot intimidate an empowered free people who know the righteousness of their cause.
Our long term future does not sustain on any temporary fear of the brutality of La République occupation. Our dignity and sense of fair play does not, either as we cannot sustain the opposite of what we know to be right. That is what brought us out in 2017. Nothing since then has proved us wrong. Everything has proved our choice right and the only sustainable cause especially now we are emerging from the backlash of La République du Cameroun militias.
We must hold our nerve and ignore the strange charades going on. The bishops don’t represent us. Nor do the chiefs who would rush to Yaoundé to deliver a message and supplicate to an empty room. We may still respect our institutions but the individuals acting in these charades do not represent us. We know who we are and we now know who we can accept and trust.
We must be thankful that they, the stooges/clowns of this sad saga, helped to demonstrate that La République du Cameroun is on their last legs, compounding absurdity on absurdity in an “Emperor’s New Clothes” tragi-comedy designed to make-believe this final time…
Can they continue with the Invisible Candidate? You decide if you are a La République du Cameroun Citizen. If you are Ambazonian, thankfully you can only watch this tragedy and count the days until they leave, as they must, having legally seceded from the union that never was in 1984 [HCB/28/92] – and good riddance!
The most High God is always the Watchman of Our Nation – Ambazonia, risen never to fall!
