Frail Biya in a rare first hint of a successor

Cameroon`s President Paul Biya was due to return to the Research Foundation of Cardiology University of Geneva, department of Cardiology  couple weeks  ago as an outpatient for more scrutiny and an exploratory surgery to his heart about a recurrence of severe fatigue.

It is said that last week, sustaining a black out during a meeting with close senior government ministers led him to name a successor for the first time, in a sign that the disease may force and end his 30 year reign.

Fears Paul Biya is showing sign of serious and severe fatigue are growing inside his own inner circle of friends and close collaborators.

Biya had considerably reduced his public appearance and the message from the Prime Minister`s office is " comfortable and in good spirits" is the " boss" and " any unofficial statement about the state of the Head of State`s health would only as usual be a machiavellian rumour".

The entire government is under pressure to keep quiet about the " boss"`s health situation. It has always been the rule and millions of supporters have been kept without accurate information regarding his health, a matter of " high level of national security".....

Even though Biya on his private holidays most of the time in Geneva usually undergo routine tests about his heart condition and the level of his blood pressure, blood sugar, heartbeat and show signs of being in good spirits, nowadays he is getting actively reduced.

Unnamed relative last week revealed in a private conversation " our brother-in-law is showing signs of severe fatigue and has even reduced some family`s activities around the house.."

The 79 year old communist-liberal leader made what it looks like a surprised announcement to his inner circle of the army general`s council.from the Presidential Palace.

In the clearest indicator yet that health problems could spell and end his tumultuous 30 years in power, Mr Biya it is suggested, may have said that  party members and sympathisers should show their full support to the secretive and most reserved Ayang Luc,( pictured greeting President Paul Biya) the  incumbent President of the Social Affairs and Economics Council  , if a new election had to be held..

Cameroon: Biya expands global communication spy network

Biya`s administration is planning a major expansion of Cameroon`s international spy network, creating a new generation of undercover communication agents to get a better handle on critical issues such as corruption, violation of Human Rights, breach of the freedom of expression and the rising influence of activists against his regime in Africa, Europe and Us.

The country is to send hundreds of spies overseas as part of a plan to assemble an espionage network that rivals the civilian national central intelligence agency in size, marking a major expansion in Cameroon`s communication espionage network. The aim for this is to bring peace to the country. But the country is not a war.

According to Issa Tchiroma, "....lawlessness, breach of press ethics and corruption have robbed the country of peace and freedom and it is time to put things right and to bring back the good journalism, the responsible and accountable journalism..".  The real objectives for the conference here are to avoid the press to acting together in order to set up a system of robust regulation.

Corrupted publications are lining up to have their men being taken while the Cameroon national union of journalists is calling for a new press regulator without being compelled by legislation.  

According to an insider at the national conference on the state of the government`s communication policy being held in Yaounde until Friday, December 7, 2012, hundreds of editors have already spoken to Issa Tchiroma Bakary, who is the head of the communication department and leader of a political party without any representative at the National Assembly to agree to have their men in the network.

The expansion will change the complexion of the embassies` communication department body which is expected to end up with as many as over thousands intelligence communication collectors worldwide. The new recruits will follow and monitor critics in Ivory Coast, Nigeria, Tchad and many more in Africa, Belgium, Paris, London, Spain, Geneva in Europe, Ottawa, and others in Us. 

Biya`s administration is decided to have a grip on the communication and especially to those journalists who are critical to his regime. Paul Biya at 79 keeps going but those who fought by his side on April 4,5,6 1984 his closest associates in politics and his best friends pass on.
