How we Failed to Dismantle A System that in early 2016 Could not Logically Survive 2018

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.
