USA Africa Dialogue Series - Re: Oh Cameroon. Picture of the Day - Marafa Yaya and Prof. Kofele-Kale

Romans, Friends and the International Community:

 

See picture below. There is no time to tell you the story and a thing called Albatross. But the story began when the President of Cameroon went rogue on the IMF/World to deceptively buy himself a plane. As a result, all the president's men are in a maximum prison called Kondengui. Biya, the maximum President who is in his third decade at the helm of the county, locked them up. And all of these men once had the  President's nose, eyes and ears. The inmates include the immediate  former Prime Minister, the immediate former Cameroon Ambassador to the US, and the tipped to be next president and immediate  former Minister of Territorial Administration. 

 

If I keep counting, there is a whole cabinet - former ministers in jail. As a psychological measure (pruriency), girls or women in uniforms see the male private parts of the former ministers who have to undress for searches and pat downs - as it happened against the failed protest of the former Prime Minister.

 

The country twirls in perplexing motion each time a former big man sings from jail to reveal state malfeasance  and criminality dished in a Marafaleak, Edjoaleak. Adding to the riveting mix, opposition parties and lawyers are supporting the former big men who dallied at the President's whims. You need to remember that in Cameroon there is no such humbug as a parliament consenting to any presidential appointment. Correct, the President rules through autocratic maxims.  In fact, the Senate exists only on paper; there are no senators.

 

In court today, the napped former Minister of Territorial Administration and a favorite among foreign connoisseurs to be the next president, arrived in court amidst applause and surrounded by an overwhelming presence of the military.  

 

Cameroon, once a beautiful country, is a shell of her better promise.  Even soccer suffers.

 

Take care,

My Mom's Daughter, MsJoe.
