Mr. President

Thank you for sentencing me to 25 years to jail for something that you know very well that l did not do. For the 25 years that you sentenced me to jail make sure that you leave to see every one of those years because for the time that l am going to be in jail l will make sure that you don’t  live in peace. I will be telling the people of all the things that you Mr. President have done for all these years that you have been in power. Let the Cameroon people be the judge for all the information that l will be putting out in the Press and Social Media.

You are the richest man in Cameroon net worth of more than $2.5 billion

Now how did you become the richest man in Cameroon without you or your family doing any business? A little bit of total recall on your path to become the richest man in Cameroon.  On March 16, 1983, Le Canard enchainé uncovered two presidential acquisitions in France: one on the Avenue Foch in paris; the other in Cagnes-sur-Mer on the Mediterranean.  In May 1984, L’Evenement du jeudi estimated the fortune of you and your family at close to 70 million euros, including chateaus in France and in Baden-Baden in Germany. On June 1988 you and your late wife Jeanne Irene bought a hospitile in Baden Germany for $150million at the time and later handed over the Hospital to very close family friend who is still listed as the CEO/owner of the Hospital.  In 1990, you had your son Frank Biya buys three apartment complexes in Rockville Maryland just off the capital Beltway I 495 where he was listed on the wall as the sole proprietor and he later removed his just before the 1992 Presidential election. In 1992 the then director of the SCB Bank Robert Messi Messi now on exile in Canada alleged You  and your late wife Jeanne Irene, had emptied the coffers of the bank to build a palace and a golf course in your village Mvomeka’a which  you have never publicly disclaimed this allegation. The Cameroon people have no knowledge of the revens from the oil refinery or SONARA  well you know well that 75% of the oil money goes to your bank accounts in France, Geneva where you have since became a distinguished and honorary citizen, Bermuda, Monaco, Singapore and Cayman Island. The U.S. imported $544 million worth of crude and fuel oil from Cameroon in 2008 and exported $59 million worth of drilling and oilfield equipment but still the citizens don’t see all this profit. In a 2009, the Catholic Committee against Hunger and for Development (CCFD) denounced you Mr. President as being among a list of leaders with ill-gotten wealth.

International communities have criticized you Mr. President

The American ambassador to Cameron says that you Mr. President spend the country’s funds like a personal bank account. In September 2009, you and your entourage spent 600 million CFA francs, occupying 43 rooms during a three week vacation at La Baule, in France at the cost of 60.000 dollars per night. According to a French online newspaper, Rue 89, your vacation was over the top more expensive than that of the American President. You were widely criticized for having rented a villa for 30,000 euros per day in August 2009. Our country as you know is one of the poorest countries in the world (with $2,257 GDP per capita as of 2011) with 48% of its population living below the poverty line.

Corruptions: During the 2006 trial of Ondo Ndong,-the Director of “ Feicom” it was revealed that your wife’s foundation and ancillary organization received a total of about 200 million CFA francs which was true and you did ok for the money to be given to her foundation. During the Elf Aquitaine affair, the convicted director of the company Loik Le Flock-Prigent revealed that you Mr. President, like most other leaders in oil producing Third world countries where Elf operates, receive a percentage of each barrel of oil exploited from Cameroon. Le Flock-Prigent explains that in 1992 you did received him in audience and requested 450 million CFA francs for your electoral campaign.

Cult

In 1999, a French inquiry into the activities of the high priest of the Amorc Raymond Bernard revealed that you had paid 3.6 million CFA francs to the cult from Cameroon’s oil revenues. Earlier in 1999 you had given the leader of the French cult (l’Ordre du Temple Solaire) a painting worth 5, 6 million CFA francs and another gift of 2 million CFA francs as well as a bank transfer of 20 million francs to the same cult. You gave the aforementioned sect a 99 year –interest free loan of 40 million francs. Because you are completely beholden to cults, there is a popular saying in Yaoundé that one had to be a Rosicrucian to become a member of your government. Your sects breed human sacrifices and demand human body parts like the heart, the brain and genitals for their esoteric practice.

Victims

Mr. President, you are a capricious schemer who methodically breeds discord in your entourage to reap dividends; you invariably fires a minister only to appoint his most implacable adversary, and encourages the new appointee, to layer allegations against his predecessor. You play musical chairs with your ministers, elbowing out those who are competent, hardworking and ambitious- William Eteki Mboumoua and Professor Joseph Owona, became victims of their own positive attributes, when France and many Cameroonians thought of them as competent enough to replace you. You use the alibi of “embezzlement” to clip the wings of your ministers who show overweening ambition. That is how Professor Titus Edzoa  Olangena Awono myself and Prime Minister Ephraim Inoni  were framed and jailed. Those who have been arrested ostensibly for corruption are only those who have threatened your position. The fawning sychophants like Mendo Ze, Fame Ndongo, Biyiti Bi Essam, and many others who are perpetuating corruption have remained free.

Politics of ethnicity

After the 1984 abortive coup d’etat, the Beti were lionized, and created a tribal war council “Essingan” headed by Joseph Owona, which systematically positioned Beti clansmen in all strategic positions in the government, the security forces, and the economy and in the clergy. In 1987 a flunky of your regime Professor Hubert Mono Ndzana accused the Bamileke of “ethno fascism” for supposedly attempting to control all strategic areas of the country. As sacrilegious as it may appear, the Beti clergy waded into the ethnic battles when in 1987, 50 Beti priests in the Douala diocese sent a letter to the Vatican protesting against the appointment of a Bamilike Bishop in their diocese, alleging that Bamileke priests where encouraging their tribesmen to monopolize the Catholic church, and to increase their birth rate so that by 2020, half of the country should be made up of Bamileke tribesman.

I will continue in my power to tell the Cameroon people everything that you have done over the last 27 plus years including the presidential results that you have change in the past even when l advice you not to do so in 1992 when you lost the election. So long as there is no separation of powers, and the judiciary is beholden to the whims and caprices of the president corruption at the highest level will continue.

Marafa. H. Yaya.

President Biya has received the report bearing the findings of the Philemon Yang Commission. The Commission of Inquiry was created on Tuesday, October 25th, 2016 by the head of state to investigate the cause of the Eseka train disaster and placed under the direct supervision of the Prime Minister and Head of Government, Philemon Yang. The commission had 30 days to complete its work.

Cameroun-info.net has reported that the Yang Philemon Commission respected its deadline and handed over its conclusion on Thursday, November 24, 2016 to the president of the republic. As expected the commission reportedly blamed the accident on the technical failures of the Intercity train 152. The report said the brakes of the train obviously did not work well when approaching Eseka station on that fateful day of the 21st October 2016.

As for the responsibility of the transport minister, Alain Egard Mebe Ngo’o and Public Works Minister, Emmanuel Nganou Djoumessi, the CPDM Commission revealed that they acted within their prerogatives to respond to the problems facing travelers. However, the Commission pointed out that there were dysfunctions in their respective reactions.

Anglophone trade unions have announced a continuation of the massive strike action after their meeting with the President Biya emissary failed to reach an agreement. Prime Minister Philemon Yang held intensive discussions with Barrister Bobga of the CCLL association, Tassang Wilfred of CATTU, Tameh Nfon Valentine of TAC including leaders of the motortaxi drivers union. But the conversations were not productive.

The Premier also met with traditional authorities, the clergy, the Vice Chancellor of the University of Bamenda, Prof. Nkuo Theresa Akenji and the leader of the Social Democratic Front, Ni John Fru Ndi.  Cameroon Intelligence Report gathered that the climax of the forum was the political discourse the Prime Minister initiated with the leaders of SYNES,TAC, CATTU, PEATTU, BATTUC, and CEWOTU represented respectively by Dr Abangma James,  Tameh Valentine, Tassang Wilfred, Afu Steve , Ayeah Emmanuel, Kimfon Michael and Tasi Ntang Lucas.

After three hours of deliberation, Yang Philemon and his CPDM team from Yaoundé that included some Francophones requested the teachers’ delegation to draw up a chronograph of their demands and to set up a timeline of activities which would involve what Philemon Yang called “institutional framework.” The Prime and his men also demanded that the trade unions should give the CPDM government a time frame to work and submit results and above all make a declaration that the strike has been called off.

The Anglophone leaders told the prime minister that the Southern Cameroons strike action cannot be called off on the basis of promises. A frustrated Yang Philemon and his predominantly Francophone delegation were disappointed. The debate on suspending the strike was frank, candid and thoughtful. The many Francophones who were part of the Philemon Yang delegation publicly opined that the Anglophone leaders should suspend the strike to save the Prime Minister. The Anglophone leaders observed that by refusing to suspend the strike they were protecting the Prime Minister from being a victim because they know he is powerless in the La Republique structure. The talks ended in fiasco but has however galvanized a wonderful solidarity between the lawyers and the teachers.

AN OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT PAUL BIYA

Mr. President,

As access to you is so difficult otherwise, we wish to avail ourselves of this means, the most easy open to us, to draw your attention to what your press secretary must have briefed you on already .

If it may please you to permit a little digression, Sir, we are all already aware of the dangerous role Radio Mille Collines played in inciting the terrible genocide in Rwanda. Next door, in Nigeria, similar incitement resulted in the pogrom that befell the Ibos in Northern Nigeria in the mid-sixties. Similar rumours in the era of modern telecommunication technology can set a country ablaze within seconds.

You are not without knowing, Mr. President, that Anglophones have been referred to in Cameroun as the Trojan Horse, and called upon to leave the country if they were dissatisfied with the way they are (mis)treated in Cameroun. With apparent official connivance, the ordinary Camerounese now considers the Anglophone as not belonging here.

When, therefore, Radio Balafon, as reported on the internet, spreads the rumour that Anglophones are chasing Francophones out of Bamenda where Anglophones are seen as mere squatters on their own native land, and your government seemingly connives at it all, no Anglophone feels safe anywhere in Cameroun, let alone, east of the Mungo.

Therefore are we demanding, in consequence, that an official statement be published on the Radio Balafon matter expeditiously so that Anglophones are put on their inquiry, please!

AYAH Paul ABINE

SUPREME COURT, YAOUNDE

PAP NATIONAL PRESIDENT

FOUNDER JUSTICE4ALL

On the instructions of the head of State, the Prime Minister Philemon Yang is meeting with representatives of teachers and lawyers today Friday 25 November 2016 at Ayaba Hotel in Bamenda.

No teacher should enter any school campus today on any one’s orders or instructions for whatsoever reason, staff meeting, class council or whatever.

The meeting with the PM will decide the way forward, including the fate of Principal Mbake of  GBHS MUEA who has been detained at the Central Police Station in Buea on the instructions of the Governor Okalia Bilai (a man who should have retired 4 years ago), on trumped up charges of belonging to the SCNC.

The STRIKE CONTINUES and no Regional, Divisional or sub divisional officer or agent of Government should give contrary orders until Anglophones establish in the meeting today that they are welcome in Cameroon.

All Anglophones should be vigilant and ensure that no one intimidates or tramples on their rights anymore. Any such cases should be made known immediately and those playing “the colonial master” will be shamed and ostracized from the Anglophone Community.

ALL ANGLOPHONE TEACHER UNIONS

While the public is awaiting the opening of a frank and thoughtful dialogue on the demands of the Cameroon Common Law Lawyers and those of the Anglophone teachers as requested by the opposition and the Cameroonian civil society, the Biya regime seems to have chosen the path of repression and hard-line.

Issa Tchiroma, the Minister of Communication fired the first salvo last night as he denounced British Southern Cameroonians and called them extremist and an insignificant minority.  The corrupt Francophone politician stated that a small group of demonstrators defied all the rules required for the preservation of public order and perpetrated acts of vandalism in the North West region.

The Minister of Communication who was a signatory to a document demanding that power be given back to the North noted that the demands of the Anglophones will have no favorable answer from the Biya Francophone Beti Ewondo regime.

Our chief political correspondent in Yaoundé who contributed to this report observed that the Biya regime has declared a war and let every Anglophone be ready with their matching song.
