THE COALITION QUESTION: CAN CAMEROON’S OPPOSITION UNITE TO DEFEAT BIYA? Introduction For over four decades, Paul Biya has clung to power, ruling Cameroon with an iron grip and leaving the country in political stagnation, economic decay, and social despair. As the 2025 elections approach, one question dominates the minds of Cameroonians: can the opposition finally unite to end Biya’s reign? The Strength of Unity History shows that fragmented opposition plays directly into the hands of authoritarian regimes. Each party running on its own divides votes, weakens resistance, and strengthens Biya’s dominance. Unity, on the other hand, has the power to: Consolidate national support behind a single candidate. Mobilize resources more effectively against the ruling party’s machinery. Give citizens hope that genuine change is possible. Break regional and tribal barriers, forging a common vision for Cameroon’s future. The Obstacles to Coalition While unity sounds simple, in practice it has been el...

AFRISOCRACY VS. DEMOCRACY: WHY AFRICA NEEDS ITS OWN SYSTEM OF GOVERNANCE Introduction For more than six decades, Africa has been trapped in a borrowed political system—Western democracy. Imported during colonial rule and imposed after independence, this model has failed to deliver justice, development, or liberation for African people. Instead, it has produced weak institutions, puppet leaders, and endless cycles of corruption and poverty.

In reality: It empowers corrupt elites who serve foreign powers, not their people. It sustains neo-colonialism, where Western governments control African economies and policies through aid, debt, and manipulation. It divides nations along tribal and regional lines, breeding conflict rat...

WHY PAUL BIYA’S 8TH TERM IS A FRENCH PROJECT, NOT A CAMEROONIAN CHOICE Introduction Cameroon stands at a historic crossroads. After more than four decades in power, President Paul Biya’s pursuit of an eighth term has provoked outrage, skepticism, and despair among many Cameroonians. Yet, beneath the surface, this longevity in office is not simply the result of domestic politics or popular will. It is, above all, a French project—engineered, sustained, and imposed by France to maintain its neo-colonial grip on Cameroon. The Weight of French Interests in Cameroon France has never hidden its deep economic, political, and military interests in Cameroon. From oil and gas in the Bakassi Peninsula to timber, cocoa, and infrastructure contracts, French companies dominate key sectors of the economy. To safeguard these interests, Paris has consistently backed regimes that guarantee continuity rather than change. Paul Biya’s government has offered France exactly that—predictability and compliance...
