The Cameroonian patriots languished in defeat, but they never gave up the struggle. Today, a new generation of Cameroonian patriots variously described as the Kamerunists, union-nationalists and Cameroonian civic-nationalists picked up the baton dropped by the leaders of the country's historic UPC (Union of the Populations of the Cameroons) and the civic- nationalists who joined the SDF (Social Democratic Front) believing that its leadership was committed to the struggle to complete the liberation of Cameroon. This post-independence generations who are not compromised by the anachronistic French-imposed system, oppose not only the 33-year regime of Cameroon's current head of state Paul Biya, but also the foundations of the system that Gaullist France put in place before handing power to Paul Biya’s predecessor Ahmadou Ahidjo.
In these accounts, we see a struggle that is not blinded by emotions, a struggle that is grounded on humanism and social solidarity, a struggle that embraces the French people but reject the mafia that sustains the Cameroonian dictatorship against the choice and wishes of the Cameroonian people.
