The Profile of the Main Opposition Candidate Is Issa Tchiroma Bakary a Distractor or a Liberator? By The Afrisocrat Political Desk | 2025 Presidential Election Special Early Life & Education Born on 10 September 1949 in Garoua, northern Cameroon, Issa Tchiroma Bakary grew up in a respected family where his father served as an advisor to the Lamido. This upbringing instilled in him deep values of responsibility, discipline, and service to the community. After early schooling in Douala, he pursued technical training in transport and materials engineering before traveling to Paris. At the University of Paris (Jussieu), he prepared for a PhD in mathematics before redirecting his focus to mechanical engineering at ISMCM, graduating as a railway engineer. Returning home, he worked at Regifercam in Douala, embodying the discipline and pragmatism of a technocrat committed to service. Imprisonment & Political Rise In...
WHO REALLY CONTROLS THE ANGLOPHONE REGIONS OF CAMEROON?
For nine solid years, the Anglophone crisis has dragged on like an unending nightmare. Nine years of bloodshed, economic ruin, and despair. Yet, the government of Cameroon beats its chest every month claiming that “normalcy has returned.”
Minister Atanga Nji swears peace has been restored. MKPD floods the internet with propaganda declaring victory. Ngoh Ngoh whispers to foreign partners that Yaoundé has crushed separatism. And Prime Minister Dion Ngute insists schools, businesses, and churches are thriving again.
But reality speaks louder than propaganda.
THE MOCKERY OF “NORMALCY”
If the government truly controls the Anglophone regions, why do lockdowns declared by Ambazonians still bring life to a standstill?
Schools close.
Churches are empty.
Markets are deserted.
Transporters ground their vehicles.
And all this happens not because Yaoundé says so, but because Ambazonian fighters snap their fingers and everyone obeys.
How can a state claim sovereignty when its own citizens are more afraid of “ghost town Mondays” than of government decrees? How can the government declare Ambazonian generals “all killed” when invisible commands still paralyze millions?
WHO IS REALLY IN CHARGE?
This is the billion-franc question. Between the Cameroon government and the Ambazonians, who truly governs the Anglophone regions?
The government claims victory, but the people’s behavior suggests otherwise.
Ambazonian fighters lack official legitimacy, yet they dictate the pace of daily life.
It is a shameful paradox: a government with soldiers, weapons, and billions in foreign support reduced to sharing control with ragtag fighters it claims to have eliminated.
STOP USING THE PEOPLE AS PAWNS
Both sides must stop exploiting the crisis to punish ordinary citizens. Mothers bury children. Fathers lose jobs. Youths are massacred or forced into exile. Communities are left in perpetual fear.
Cameroon’s leaders must swallow their pride, admit that propaganda cannot end a war, and go for genuine dialogue. Ambazonian leaders, too, must abandon the illusion that strangling their own people will create freedom.
Peace cannot be declared in press conferences; it must be negotiated in truth.
