Cameroon: The Haunted Heart of Africa Janvier Chouteu-Chando

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 oppressive French-imposed system keeps the country trapped in poverty, underdevelopment, corruption, dictatorship, despondence and cynicism; thereby making Cameroon the most mismanaged country in Africa, despite the dynamism of the Cameroonian people and the country's material resources. What is the way forward in dismantling the anachronistic system managed in Cameroon by the puppets of France's political mafia in Africa called FrancAfrique, a dynasty of marionettes who played no role whatsoever - whether as moderates of as radicals - in the cause for the reunification and independence of British Cameroons and French Cameroun?
