Britain in " secret " talks with opposition leaders in Cameroon

Britain led the way to negotiation  talks with opposition leaders in Cameroon ahead of the next presidential election to be held later this year.

But negotiation with people who have been inactive in the  opposition for a long period of time  can be very distasteful and also unproductive.

Prime Minister David Cameron and the Foreign secretary persuaded Obama`s administration and France that negotiations  were the right forward to help Cameroon not to fall into trouble and political and social instability after the results of the presidential election.

 One of the close advisors of the Foreign secretary William Hague admitted a deal could  mean swallowing "distasteful things" and risk outrage among army generals  and the families of those who have been abused by the current regime and also those who have benefited from it.

But the Foreign secretary entourage believes that the realistic and practical people of Britain will accept an end to the long standing regime of President Biya will be the best way to safeguard the unity and the stability of the country.

Officially no government minister has confirmed the information that Britain is in " secret" talks with opposition leaders based in the North and South West of Cameroon, representing the " British Cameroon"

There are words that the UK coalition government is connected to what happens in Cameroon and it will assist where it can and also strongly supportive of it.

People in Cameroon have a strong desire of change and they are ready to do whatever it takes to have that change and make it happens by using the democratic ways, that`s means the election, Britain has been in Cameroon for so many years because of the economic interest that links both country.

British people have a good strong sense about democracy, human rights, tolerance, change, alternative, reforms  and they want to see as much as the same happening in Cameroon where people are free to choose who they want and really want to me the next president of the country.

 The Cameroon government must also do more to provide answers to people desire and needs by reducing the extreme poverty and fighting against the corruption.

Britain`s clandestine action and effort is being run by specialist advisors over which the foreign secretary William Hague has overall control. No official speeches have been given about this action. Britain has worked hard behind the scenes and will continue to.

The real objectiveness here is to have all parties proposal about the future of the country after the election and also how to bring back those who have been put aside because of their views against the president of the government.

At the moment it is too far early to give any updates on the progress of these " secret talks". Opposition in Cameroon has suffered heavy losses, certainly in the last 15 years and  the work of British diplomats and development workers in the last 7 years according to service users in Cameroon is absolutely outstanding.
