The dictatorial regime of Paul Biya wanted to shed the blood of revolutionaries
It a joint declaration signed by politicians such as Joshua Osih and Jean Michel Nintcheu (Vice-President and Regional President-Littoral SDF), and RM Abanda kPa but Ntondo (President and Secretary General of the presidential candidate), Dr. Samuel Mack-Kit (UPC President), Robert Simon (Vice-Chairman of w), and Dr. Victorian Hameni Bieleu (President UFDC), the organizers of Public events of February 23, 2011 are the balance sheet.
In this paper come to our writing, they accuse Paul Biya of blindness and autism politics. "The meeting was prevented military had yet been legally declared by MANIDEM Thursday, February 17, 2011 and the latter party has so far received no notification of ban on demonstrations. The authority has chosen to use methods of intimidation and punishment worthy of the colonial era to impede freedom of movement of opposition supporters. It is a state of emergency that dare not speak its name. The cities of Douala, Yaounde, Bafoussam, Bamenda and Nkongsamba are under siege. The authority has declared war on the people of Cameroon. "
Therefore they invite the people to resist. "The people of Cameroon who gave everything for freedom, sovereignty and democracy be intimidated by the repressive regime of the bay. Consequently, our youth in particular will continue to fight with the support of all until the final victory " .
This force calling itself the New Opposition Cameroon intends to build the people's victory over the reactionary forces. "The Patriots can not accept that only the CPDM and its brethren have the right to hold rallies in Cameroon. All the sacrifices made by freedom fighters can not be undone by the blindness of a system at bay. Without yielding to the deliberate provocations, we must continue to increase pressure on the dictatorial regime of Paul Biya. The law enforcement can not be a solution to resolve legitimate claims of Cameroonians. And invited the head of state to go out of business:
"We call on Mr Biya, in order to preserve peace and prevent our country's tragic scenarios that other people live, not to stand in the presidential election of 2011." While Jean-Michel Nintcheu peers and lick their wounds from batons of the soldiery, strategies to "fight" continues in the staffs.
Walk Convergence: Why not the claim has dragged
actors convergence are unanimous on the fact: the march on February 23 has not drained the great world. For this, several reasons are discussed. Essentially, the president of the Union of Democratic Forces of Cameroon Hameni Bieuleu understands that this failure is for the refusal of young people taking their destiny. However, according to Anicet Ekane presented for some time as an opinion leader and politician, hope is still required. An optimism that, the source said, is that "history of mankind has shown every time that repression keeps neither liberty nor revolution." Only history The march organized by the new dynamics of political parties of the opposition reveals a number of inconsistencies in the organization and the claims for this "new synergy."
The meeting held at the African Movement for New Independence and Democracy (MANIDEM), hours after walking "bloodily suppressed" (see The Messenger, 24 February 2011) has given to see the inconsistencies of this dynamic. The first shake-up of this day is referred to by the President of MANIDEM. Abanda Pkama suggests that the delay seen by the regional president of the Social Democratic Front (SDF) was a determining factor in the failure of the march. Whereas at a crossroads of Akwa district by his comrades, the Honourable Jean Michel Nintcheu has instead shifted to the roundabout Deido. A decision that would have forced other players to start walking. The result, according to Victorian Hameni Mbieuleu, "is that we went to the village hall where we were arrested," but it took on one of the main accused of this failure that makes his argument debate. The Honourable Jean Michel
Nintcheu hear her dissatisfaction with his comrades. "I am angry because your anticipation in action unsettled me." addition to the instructions that were not followed by the one and the other actors in the march of February 23, the blur is still on the real object of the claim. In this regard, the organizers of the march of February 23, 2011 do not agree. "Walk in memory of the martyrs of the riots of February 2008" for some. Reminder of the commitments of the Head of State for "fight against high prices" for others. And for the most part, claims to overthrow the regime. An approach modeled on the movement insiders for some time in Tunisia, Egypt, etc..
Week martyrs: the game and players
Behind Martyrs Week organized by the parties of convergence, there was as an option to mobilize people to undermine a regime that wanted unperturbed. This has left some panic reflected that speaks volumes about the mindset of the regime.
Indeed, the meeting which, in the opinion of the organizers had "lawfully declared by MANIDEM Thursday, February 17, 2011" met strong opposition, if not most, officers from law enforcement, intended to impede the movement of militants.
The flood of images from North Africa did she fantasize parts of the convergence, organizing the week of the martyrs, have believed that people idle and stunned by misery would follow them into a perilous adventure that uncertain Biya is to kick out? In any case, the effect of the Arab street has also been felt on the side of power which generated enormous resources to meet any eventuality. The announcement of the demonstrations had plunged the power of extreme nervousness in Yaounde.
In Douala, attempts to rally have been brutally dispersed by security forces. Police violence took place in Yaounde. No crowd movement is observed. "What we feared has not occurred. The policemen who took to the streets in anticipation of protests come away empty handed. "
Diplomatic missions had also opted for caution on this occasion. The Swiss embassy has asked its nationals "restrict their movements." Other embassies have sent messages urging caution. Observers have also seen the rise of dangers: the risk that social unrest escalates, will "depend on the political skill of those in power," said Mr. Nguini Owona. "If power is shown not only clumsy but also chilly (use of coercive measures), it is possible that the burning is more favorable," he said had.
All's well that ends well. Although some injuries were observed, There was no loss of life. But why these movements programmed Have not prospered? Some speak of monumental flop. Indeed, the context of the riots has changed. According bendskineur, "I can not associate myself with these stories. Although still expensive, the fuel has not experienced a rise since 2008, the road checks are finished. Why walk? I do not do politics. "
So there was as a lack of motivation of the population that refuses to be massacred for political stories, while the ratio force is not on his side. Moreover, says one observer, "since people know or understand that the regime clings to power by all means, they opted for survival, while resisting him passive and silent. Elecam case. Despite all the seductions, nobody is going to register ".
But this is only a postponement, saying the activists who have changed strategy "next time". expected ...
Movements Street
1/ les activistes
Depuis deux ans, à l’instigation de l’honorable Jean Michel Nintcheu, une semaine des martyrs est organisée à Douala le 23 février. Il s’agit de meetings à l’honneur de tous ceux qui ont été victimes des exactions des forces de l’ordre lors des manifestations à caractère politique.
Cette année, cet anniversaire a coïncidé avec les événements de l’Afrique du nord, ou l’on a vu deux ou trois dictateurs prendre la poudre d’escampette devant la colère de la rue. D’autres leaders ou activistes en ont donc profité pour lancer l’appel à manifester contre Paul Biya, little monitoring throughout the country. These include
of Mboua Massock that opponent and president of the nationalist New Dynamic (Nodyna), was called to enter "a revolution" against the regime of Paul Biya, Kah Walla, the candidate declared next presidential election was called on Cameroonians to put "all red" to say that Paul Biya "enough." "Too many rigged elections! Too many young unemployed! Too much hassle for resourceful! Too many broken promises outfits! " she said in her appeal.
In the Cameroonian capital, Abba Abubakar, the President of the United People's Revolution Cameroon (Rcpu), an opposition party, was arrested along with a dozen politicians and civil society.
Among these players, there is one that is considered the most dangerous thing to say Jean Michel Nintcheu. He has experience. For 20 years he was in the line of political demands. He has the voice now an MP, he can speak from the tribune official has troops: his party, the SDF has political activists incurred. It has already developed arguments at an oral question in the National Assembly: "February 14, 1998, over 250 people (official figure) were killed in what was called the disaster Nsam, a district of Yaounde. That day, two full tanks of fuel are parts of a railroad train. The people thought they could take advantage of the accident by sourcing free fuel that escaped and was caught in a raging fire. The victims of this fire were compensated when they were stealing fuel. Why power he ignores all those who died by saying no to the constitution, or in case of riots, claiming jobs " ?
This fight he wore in the street, while suggesting his comrades to create a support fund for victims of police brutality.
2/The troop
February 22, the eve of scheduled events for the week of the martyrs, the phone rings Nintcheu Hon. This is a senior Yaounde who informed that the government will make an announcement on the victims of abuses by security forces, which will be compensated by the state. Sunday, February 27, the eve of the anniversary of riots, journalists and opinion leaders receive a message on their phone: "President Biya will address the nation on February 28 to 20h. "
power has never spent so many means of communication to manipulate people. In one case as in the other, he was defusing the bomb in social development. At Mincom, even the village idiot was left to mumble his mediocrity, speaking of the President of the Republic : "when this man has 92 years, this country will be a great country." For his part, Jean-Baptiste Bokam, Secretary of State in charge of the gendarmerie echoed the panic of power "intelligence gathering occupies a central place. You need to trace the perpetrators of these calls to sedition. You also need to infiltrate their target groups to identify their intentions and prevent their actions. "
It is therefore clear. The power was shaken to its foundations. The mobilization of security forces to contain the rioters alleged speaks volumes. According to our sources, the special forces of the Bir had been recorded if the conventional forces of law and order would be overwhelmed ...
