As the unpopular regime of Cameroonian head of State Paul Biya cracks down on a popular protest by the people of the English-speaking regions of the country, the world wonders why a country that is Africa’s Number One Football (Soccer) Playing Nation, one that just won the continent’s most prestigious and most coveted sports trophy (The African Cup of Nations), and one that the powers that be would like to sell as the oasis of peace in a turbulent continent, would undermine the part of the country that realized its reunification. The area that was Südwesten Kamerun when the geopolitical entity that is Cameroon today was a German colony called Kamerun, the area that went on to become British Southern Cameroons from 1919-1961 following the partition of German Kamerun into British Cameroons and French Cameroon after Germany’s defeat in the First World War, and the area that became West Cameroon in the 1961-1972 Cameroon Federation following the reunification of British Southern Cameroons with the former French Cameroun (The Republic of Cameroun), is in turmoil today as the people there stand up for their rights against a French-imposed establishment that was put in place after France defeated Cameroon’s civic-nationalist who fought for the country’s reunification and independence. The 35-year French-puppet Biya regime, like its predecessor the Ahidjo regime that lasted for 24 years, has been pursuing the agenda of their masters---the political mafia in France--- and has denigrated the hopes, dreams and dignity of the people of Cameroon whose forebears fought/died or voted for reunification and independence with the idea of founding a free, democratic, prosperous, united and progressive country. Is this protest about to develop into a nation-wide uprising that would challenge the system that Cameroonians never opted for and have never supported? Can the Cameroonian people unshackle themselves from the suffocation of the Biya regime, the anachronistic French-imposed system, the establishment and the center of France’s political mafia that is keeping Francophone Africa in bondage, a system of control variously described as FrancAfrique?
