In this magical account, Janvier T. Chando brilliantly establishes the threads that made the young Thomas Sankara one of Africa’s iconic leaders in the twentieth century, and the revolutionary changes he brought to Burkina Faso that transformed it into Sub-Saharan Africa’s most self-reliant country. The author leads the reader hand-in-hand to the path of the trail of the young Sankara’s catapult into the limelight of Burkina Faso’s politics, his travails, his rise to power as the head of state, and his lucid notion of his mission. Sankara comes across as one of those rare African ...

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 ...

In this succinct account, the author reveals the threads that weave the controversial legacy of the Egyptian military leader and head of state Anwar Al-Sadat, prying into his motivations that led him to war against Israel and that saw him shortly afterwards become an iconic leader for peace in the Middle East by stirring his country onto a path that not only began the transformation of Egypt into a modern state, but that equally alienated Egypt from the rest of the Arab world. The unequivocal nature of Janvier T. Chando’s account sheds a unique light into the legacy of one of Africa’s ...

In a Europe dominated by empires in the early years of the twentieth century, ethnic nationalism is challenging the status quo, threatening to throw the continent into an unfathomable turmoil. To hedge against this impending war, the different European leaders embarked on strengthening the alliances they had formed. Appearing the most vulnerable to this phenomenon is the multi-ethnic Austro-Hungarian Empire, which is situated at the heart of Europe and whose citizens come from Europe's three major language groups. But strangely enough, its emperor Franz Josef is loved by the majority of all...

The people of Burkina Faso have put a stop to a script devised in the Élysée Palace in Paris by the French political mafia where France's puppet presidents in Africa can change their country's constitutions at will to ensure that their children take over following their deaths (Omar Bongo/Ali Bongo of Gabon, Gnassingbé Eyadéma/Faure Gnassingbé of Togo etc), to ensure that they prolong their rule (Paul Biya of Cameroon, Idris Derby, Sassou Nguessou etc), and where these puppets can extend their autocratic rules through masquerades called elections that see them wining despite a more ...

In the multi-ethnic, multi-racial and multi-religious Central African state called Cameroon, the country's largest ethnic group that paid the highest price in the struggle for its reunification and independence has effectively been cast as the national enemy by the system made up of those who did not opt for reunification and independence and their French overlords who put them in power. It has been a six-decade old campaign that has robbed the Cameroonian people of their history, divided them and created stereotypes that would take generations to undo.

Three attempts have been made by Cameroonian patriots in the history of the land to change the status quo and usher in freedom, democracy, liberty, prosperity and the rule of law. Unfortunately, the Cameroonians patriots otherwise known as the Kamerunists or union-nationalists, never succeeded. Today, the Cameroonian struggle against the French-imposed system under the leadership of Paul Biya is in its fourth Phase, haunted by the lessons of: • The First Phase of the Struggle where the German colonial army defeated it and executed Marin Paul Samba, Rudolf Duala Manga Bell and the rest of ...

Este relato de un hombre que finalmente se distinguió del resto de las élites de su país como alguien que no aceptaría la ocupación de Nicaragua y que no haría el papel de perro faldero o títere, explica de una manera muy sencilla los matices en la evolución sociopolítica del país centroamericano que influyó mucho en otras luchas de América Latina. En Augusto C. Sandino vemos el desarrollo de una leyenda que surgió de orígenes humildes y cuyo sentido de la justicia lo guió en su épico viaje de resistencia a las fuerzas opresoras de su país. A pesar de que su traición y ...

En este breve relato, el autor revela los hilos que tejen el controvertido legado del líder militar egipcio y jefe de estado Anwar Al-Sadat, al proporcionar una idea de sus motivaciones que lo llevaron a la guerra contra Israel y que lo vieron poco después convertirse en un líder icónico para la paz en el Medio Oriente al impulsar a su país en un camino que comenzó la transformación de Egipto en un estado moderno, y que igualmente alejó a Egipto del resto del mundo árabe. La naturaleza inequívoca de la cuenta de Janvier T. Chando arroja una luz única sobre el legado de uno de los...

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...

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...

As other African nations forge ahead tapping on the resources of their Diaspora, the French-imposed minority system in Cameroon is unique in limiting the economic, political and social influence of its Diaspora, seeing it as a threat to the mafia dictatorship. Even though it is variously described as Africa's most educated Diaspora percentage wise, this resourceful Cameroonian Diaspora risks giving up on Cameroon as the nation slowly heads into abyss.

This insightful account serves as an effective guide in understanding the fundamental mentalities that abound in our world and in knowing the various ways that they combine in the regulation of activities in our different societies. We understand how the degree of our humanization and the influence that it has on our intellect and intuitive insight is determined by the conditional and unconditional instincts we develop.Imagine how judging from a man’s belief system, perception of the world around him, plans, actions and self-restraints, we can determine his propensity for good or evil, ...

For a people that lost more than half a million lives in a liberation struggle for the independence and reunification of their country yet failed to shake off the oppressive external forces who allowed self-rule and reunification of British Cameroons and former French Cameroun but put their puppets in power in a so-called independent Cameroon, this country known as “Africa in Miniature” is an Orwellian reality. It is hard for a non-Cameroonian mind to imagine that there are tidy solutions or pithy fixes to the big challenges in overcoming the reactionary forces responsible for ...

When it comes to Cameroon, there seems to be an international conspiracy of silence regarding the destiny of this land variously described as "Africa in Miniature" or "The Microcosm of Africa". It is as if it truly embodies the haunted existence of Africa. When talking about dictators, the media giants apparently fail to mention the world's longest-serving non-royal head of state---Paul Biya of Cameroon, as if there is something to hide or as if there is something shameful about the Biya story and the anachronistic system that France and its geopolitical allies imposed on Cameroon by using ...

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 ...

Cameroon lost its way when France pacified the intellectual, dynamic and patriotic forces of the land― the people who were engaged in the cause to reunite the former German Kamerun, lead it to independence and build a modern, progressive, democratic, free and liberal state. Cameroon found itself held in bondage after that when France went on to impose a mafia system in Cameroon, a system that has always been headed by its puppets. However, it was only during the 32-year rule of the fathom and the puppet Paul Biya that Cameroon got gripped by futility, despondence and cynicism. What is the...

Kamerun, Cameroun or Cameroon, a former German colony with a vibrant economy that Germany lost to Britain and France following its defeat in the First World War, a territory partitioned by Britain and France into British Cameroons (British Southern Cameroons and British Northern Cameroons) and French Cameroun, territories Kamerunian civic-nationalists sought to reunite and achieve independence for in a quest that was suppressed by French-led forces, resulting in the loss of half a million Cameroonian lives from 1956-1971. France’s clamp down on French Camerounian civic-nationalists ...

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 ...

In this account full of mind-blowing revelations, Janvier Tchouteu exposes the mechanism of election-rigging in a way that has not been seen before. It is a journey that takes us to the heart of voter fraud and election-rigging, revealing how they are not only the fundamental killers of civil rights, free and fair elections, and the rule of law, but how they also take countries down the path of autocracy, dictatorship and crime against humanity. For the first time, we get to understand how the country variously described as the “Microcosm of Africa” and “Africa in Miniature” is held...
