No continent has experienced half the political assassinations, coup d’états, internal and external wars, civil unrest, and economic upheaval s since the second half of the twentieth century that Africa suffered. Yet, hardly any serious pundit would say that the hands of foreign forces that are out to secure their “so-called interests” in the continent or that want to gain new ones, were not in most of these setbacks. That these external forces have roughly been succeeding with the help of Africans with the evil disposition or Africans ignorant of their game plan is true. Opposed to ...

This thoughtful account of Patrice Lumumba provides an insight into why the swift elimination of the legend from the geopolitical developments involving his country plunged Congo into turmoil that it is yet to recover from. Janvier T. Chando highlights Congo's deep trauma as the private possession of King Leopold of Belgium, later as a Belgian colony, and afterward, as a so-called independent state that got disarrayed by a tug-of-war between the cold war rivals. That resulted in the inhuman dictatorship of pro-Western Mobutu Sese Seko, in wars during which millions of Congolese died, in the...

The independence fervor that gripped African colonies in the 1940s and 1950s was supposed to give birth to a "New Africa" that was expected to play a major role in advancing world civilization. What happened to make Africa fail so abysmally? By the end of the 1980s, a culture of political monolithism, dictatorship, corruption, coup d’état, mismanagement, underdevelopment and violence was dominating the political leadership of most African countries, fuelled by leaders with the evil disposition and their foreign puppeteers keeping them in power. The era of Mikhail Gorbachev’s Glasnost ...

Paul Biya, the octogenarian second president of Cameroon has been power for forty-six years (ten years as Prime Minister, which is the second highest office of the land, and thirty-six years as the President ---the highest office of the land), making him Africa's and the world's longest-serving head of state who is a non-royal.

In a world where attitudes and behaviors that were taboo not long ago are now acceptable in a world where the future is frightening to many, we appear to be the helpless onlookers of a process we have no control over. So, finding out that there are underlying efforts by governments, the media, or private groups to influence particular attitudes and social behaviors on a large scale, for the purpose of producing desired results or certain characteristics in particular segments of the population, would be shocking to many people. It is even more shocking when the social engineers are ...

Cameroon is the only country in Africa where those who campaigned, fought and died for the country's freedom and independence from colonial rule have never made it to power, where the ideas and ideals of these union-nationalists are still being suppressed by the unpopular system the colonial master put in place in the country after defeating these civic-nationalists in a bloody war variously described as France’s genocidal war in Africa. This retarding French-imposed system keeps the country trapped in poverty, corruption, underdevelopment, dictatorship, despondence, and cynicism, thereby...

As a German colony from 1884-1916, Kamerun was called "The African Pearl" for its human and material potential, and for its strategic position in Africa. The defeat of Germany in the First World War and the partition of the colony into British Cameroons and French Cameroon did not diminish the area's outsize role in the political and economic evolution of the continent. So, the quest by the land's civic nationalists to reunite the British-controlled and French-controlled territories and make Cameroon independent, raised concerns among the colonialists in Britain and France, who planned to ...

For the first time, we get to understand how the country variously described as the “Microcosm of Africa” and “Africa in Miniature” is held...

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 ...
