Paul Biya, the embattled Cameroon Head of State could resign before the middle of his third term in power after he agreed to form a new national unity government. Mr Biya will lead for a short period of time the new government which could be sworn in within the next couple of weeks before the end of the year.
According to the Cameroon constitution, the newly appointed Prime Minister will have the duty to form the new government and then will submit his first draft proposal to the Head of State for approval and then the President elected will have to officially confirm the new cabinet team. Philemon Yang,( photo down) was the mastermind of Paul Biya victory for October 9, 2011 presidential elections and there is no guaranteed information or a sign that he will keep his position in the cabinet as Prime Minister and the Head of the Government.
But in Cameroon, the " luckiest" man is chosen by a closed team of president`s advisors and then will be " forced" to work with a team of cabinet`members in which " he" has no real power of control on them except the " supervision" power of the daily government business. At the end it is Paul Biya who is the only " accountable" and " responsible" and the one to share and wear the blame of any government policy failure.
Last week in Yaounde, the capital city of Cameroon, Paul Biya, according to an insider sources, held secret crisis talks with some opposition leaders and they will meet again next week to discuss the finer details of the new national unity government.
There are new comers in politic that will join the cabinet and some old faces as well to help implement the new government agenda for the next 7 years.
Some will have to prepare the next year general elections. Acho Bernard Muna could be the next Justice secretary or the Justice minister to join the cabinet and Garga Haman , could make a come back in the government with a secret mandate to rebuild a strong union with the North and the Far North region of the country behind Paul Biya.

At the moment it is not clear how long the acting Prime Minister Philemon Yang will last as head of the government. A coalition of opposition parties represented in the Parliament is already in discussion to name his replacement. It sounds like a difficult task for them as they have no real power at all in the Parliament and could only " suggest" who could be the " best man" to lead the new national unity government.
It is believe that France, Us, Britain, China, Japan, Italy and Israel had given Paul Biya until the end of November 2011 to explain how it will form a unity government so it can receive the " financial support that is crucially needed to boost the national level of investment and create growth and wealth in Cameroon for at least the next 5 years..".
The new government could secure the social and political stability in the country and avoid any organised strike action from the unions and a new year of discontent in Cameroon.
This year will mark the end of British existing bilateral commitments in Cameroon,but the coalition government in Britain will continue to support Cameroon through the UK`s increasing share of the World Bank, the African Development Bank, the European Commission and other multilateral programming.
The UK still have all eyes on the country forestry sector as it is considered as " vitally" by the government and also for the future generations. Paul Biya insisted last week he has enough support to pass urgent reforms to fight off financial, political and social disaster the country could be heading to in the next couple of months.
In the Parliament, the Cameroon People Democratic Movement, Paul Biya`s party has the number to " push through measures he promises will rein in new encouraging and decisive initiative for the future of the country".
The crisis of corruption between members of the " Bureau Politique" and " Central Committee" of the party and the regime, the members of the previous governments, the police, and the Army has brought huge reverses for the entire regime in Cameroon...It is time to act now or there is a real risk that the whole country could be pulled into a social and financial storm.
