Says supreme court violated the law In this open letter addressed to Biya, Supreme Court President, Alexis Dipanda Mouelle and the Cameroon public,  Lapiro, who some refer to as the “people’s lawyer”, proves that one does not need to hold a long pencil to read the law. And the Biya regime, which thought they were getting good riddance of one of their most virulent critics by allowing Lapiro to go on exile to the US, are suddenly gnashing their teeth: since his exile, he has multiplied vitriolic attacks against Biya and his administration through the media. Read and find out for yourself. Gentlemen, Let me use this letter to inform you that, within the framework of the appeal I made to the supreme court of Cameroon on my case concerning the hunger riots that occurred over the national territory in February 25 to 29, 2008 and for which I was found guilty of complicity by the Nkongsamba high court in Mungo division (a sentence which was later confirmed by the Littoral court o...

CPDM baron and erstwhile Biya fan Ateba Eyene, has, in a thinly veiled rebellion against his party, tribe and region’s guru, indicted Biya’s governance for inaction against social ills plaguing the country. Although he, like several other progressive minded members of the ruling party, professes unconditional loyalty to the president, reading through his letter will leave you with a very different impression (The translation is mine). Dear Mr President, It is always an immense pleasure to share some reflections likely to draw your attention to some problems that can jeopardise the future of our country with your Excellency. You see, Mr President, during your interview with a western radio more than twenty years ago, you declared that you would like to be remembered as “the one who brought democracy and prosperity to his people.” Who can say better! However, in 2013, it appears that only part of your desires have been realised, this because the overall wealth of the country lies ...

Frederick Ambe Reading all the analyses and comments on thirty years and the voilent repression in Douala. One thing is sure. The temperature is rising. Thanks, friends for sharing these stories. They convince fence-sitters that those in power today are truly sons of Satan and it is our holy duty to say NO. It is said in French and I paraphrase that 'you cannot sell the skin of the bear until you have killed it' but I think these Prefects, etc. will need some special treatment one day in this country. A very special pardon maybe. The crimes they have committed are unspeakable. They who should be more reasonable than halfbook soldiers, gendarmes and policemen... is there a special diet in ENAM, EMIA, etc, a special brain poison? Common, man, don't these guys read history?! Or do they soon forget the guillotines and Intendants in the name of 'Commandement' , a misconception that makes them see their fellow citizens as inferior beings. Do they ev...

Meditating: How on this sad morning years ago calamity befell a nation. How a manmade night, a permanent eclipse was cast on the commonweal. How a floating island levitated from the S.E. Forests and pinioned over the state. How an era of unprecedented corruption and tribalism was ushered in by the 'peaceful revolution'. How the death warrant of progress, employment and happiness was signed. Oh Lord, to you I recourse! If a people get the government they deserve How have we deserved this who were born Thirty years ago and less? Certainly God is is with us in knowing No one ever deserved to rot under zombie king Eager to portray the semblance of life Than to lead his nation in the strive for wellbeing! I ponder over these and wonder: How is this nightmare going to end? Shall we, lambs of no living God But of a mere mortal, die on the Calvary Of vain labours and on our off-shoot Bequeath a harvest of another Faure or Ali? Or shall we at last see difference i...
