The questions likely to be asked about such an exponent of change are:
Why is he doing it?
What is his purpose?
What is his conviction?
What values does he believe in?
Is he involved out of a blinding emotion, for self interest or for an ideal above himself that seeks to alleviate the misery of the majority of Cameroonians?
If the answers are in the negative, then we should be curious and try to go deeper. Because it is the responsibility of a believer in a cause to make sure that it does not get betrayed or tainted by self-seeking advocates, especially if the true believer or advocate is not less of a supporter than any of those brandishing it for their own ends.
It is easy to understand the pains from the mess that the political leaders have caused during mankind’s short history. That’s why I think it is advisable that when we write, we try to confront ourselves and the reality in order to: make better judgments, learn lessons and never repeat the wrong actions of those we believe or believed in before. This is especially so in a cause that is at a complicated junction; because as it is often the case, many of its militants, members, supporters and sympathizers tend to have difficulties identifying the true the enemies and might even make mistakes in engaging their true friends. And unless those identifications are made based on the virtues of a right cause; exponents of change risk being trapped forever.
