Biya`s 29 year reign under serious threat

President Paul Biya might have lost control of the streets and the agenda to determine Cameroon`s economic future. The social situation is tense at the moment. Tens of thousands have run out off their patience. People demands are not met and nothing in reality is done.

Ready to take their anger to the streets amid strong government`s presence of the repression and the police riot, people have been called to rise up again the oppression and take control of their future.

Could Chantal Biya open dialogue with anti-government protesters?

The country is under an explosive situation. There are unconfirmed news that the army is on a maximum alert and will be moving to stamp out any anti-government uprising inspired by events in Tunisia and Egypt.

The government in a state of emergency now will try to ban gatherings and will as usual deploy tanks if possible in some areas on the streets to crackdown on protesters.

 The British and the French government have been heavily criticised for allowing arms sales to Cameroon for over 35 years which have been always used to crack down on any pro-democracy protests.

There have been few pro-democracy protests in Cameroon in recent years. Many have been killed and some injured and others disappeared in demonstrations across the opposition regions, Douala, Bamenda, Bafoussam, Buea and Limbe.

 Pressure groups in the UK, France, US and Belgium accused ministers of propping up authoritarian regime in Cameroon. They wish to support open democratic society in Cameroon and at the same time are aiding authoritarian regime by providing tools for repression.

 The date of the 23 February has been confirmed by unofficial activists underground as a day of anger and a called  for a regime change in Cameroon. In the UK, the Foreign secretary William Hague yesterday said he will urge the government to begin a real and a proper dialogue with anti-government protesters and implement reforms needed in the country.
