Raid on Douala, Bamenda and Buea protesters raises fear army ready to hijack revolution in Cameroon

Underground demonstrators turn their anger against Cameroon`s heavily armed general and commanders after attack by security forces accusing them protecting a failed regime that doesn't care about his own people aspiration.

Cameroon`s deepening political and social crisis, which has followed the attack by security forces on streets where demonstrators were expressing their anger against Biya regime, took a dangerous new turn last week as unidentified soldiers armed with clubs and rifles stormed protesters` homes. Douala, Bamenda and Buea are considered as strong hold for opposition leaders and also protesters against Biya regime.

 At least it emerged that dozen of February 23 call of public anger demonstrators`leaders has been arrested in a pre-dawn raid and family member injured during the coordinated military operation. Cameroonians securities forces fired live ammunition to disperse hundreds of protesters in Douala, the main economic capital city of Cameroon as the country is facing an increasing underground anger against the ruling elite.

Unidentified organizers are calling from their bunker an organised monthly protests that could be a serious escalation in the protest movement. But the country has already been there in the earlier 1990 and 1992 and today a large majority are not longer kind to follow the same road for a call for regime changed said an identified source.

The demonstrators, angry at the slow progress of reform since the last presidential election where the winner Paul Biya promised to fight against corruption and poverty and push the country forward sustainable development policies by creating more jobs for young people and nothing has been done, had been demanding a total change or regime and also some demanding the trial of Biya and his close associates and an immediate transition from Biya regime to a total new regime with new faces in the country.

everywhere around the country there are reports about a growing number of underground protesters. They are underground because most of them work as civil servant and are not really happy by the way their own government that they work for doesn't do enough for them to relieve the poverty and also to fight against corruption.
 There are a growing and an increasing number angry people and also the intention revealed the increasing impatience and mistrust that many Cameroonians feel today and even since the last presidential election in 2007. Some protesters today are accusing the top army general commanders of protecting Biya and his close associates.

The military issued a statement covered by the government afterward blaming " outlaws" for rioting and violating the country law about street protests and also they stress that they will not tolerate any acts of rioting or any act that harms the interest of the country and the people.
