The real contest should have
started with registration, and then a new civic-nationalist force against the
CPDM and other parties of the system(the so-called opposition), which in the
case of the presidential election, it would have been the "New Cameroon"
that is out to dismantle the system versus candidates of the system---Biya, Kamto, Cabral etc. Cameroonian
civic-nationalism (union-nationalism) does not tolerate tribalism or other
forms of chauvinism. All the same, the Bamileke and Bassa political elites need
to breach their differences that arose from the traumas of the war against the
UPC. Both peoples suffered horrendously, but some of the elites from both camps
made it look like their camp was deserted
or left in the cold by the other in their greatest time of need (the
Franco-Ahidjo genocide against their populations), a distortion of historical
truth that benefits the system, France,
the global mafia, and the Ahidjo/Biya regimes, as it makes the job of rallying
the authentic forces more difficult. Ambazonia infantilism, especially the
insurrection, muddied the water, made an all-embracing movement impossible,
gave the regime the opportunity to wrap itself around the flag, made those not
out for systemic change look like liberators, and so gave the election
masquerade some credibility, making it possible for Biya to affront us all
again despite his overwhelming unpopularity.
