Cameroon`s opposition threatens million-strong protest to stop Biya`regime winning power

Secularists in power in Cameroon say they are not yet ready for a change in power and regime....

Cameroon activists are threatening to bring mass pro-real-democracy protests and call for a regime changed in Yaounde, with a million-strong occupation of " Rond-point de la Poste Centrale" in September unless the ruling coalition government and his " Fidelity and Honour " strong and heavily armed, army generals abandon their current " road map" to Cameroon future or a new vision for the country...

The coalition government is clearly ready for the elections now. The main political party in the coalition government is been ready for long time whereas the newcomers who have not participate in the political process under Biya`s regime are not and still looking to recruit voters and sympathisers around the country...
