In 2005/2006, during the Fru Ndi/Ngwasiri and Fru Ndi/Asongwani acrimony, I stated categorically that the SDF was beyond salvage. Here was Fru and Ngwasiri at each other’s throats when in 2002, they conspired to deprive the SDF of its soul (the Union Nationalists and Revolutionaries who never conciliated with the system and who put the general purpose of the struggle far above their personal considerations). I merely echoed my position of 1997 that SDF was committing political suicide and of 2002 that it had finally done so. The party one had put his life on hold for had become a walking corpse because its head (Fru Ndi and his mafia) was rotten. I stated that Fru Ndi’s open and disguised involvement with the French-imposed anachronistic system and the Biya regime steering the mafia in Cameroon, had become a symbiosis; because their phoney fight was actually helping each other and giving them a sense of relevance in Cameroon and abroad. Fru Ndi’s hijacked SDF was sustaining the French-imposed system and vice-versa.
The elections in October 2011, is another proof of my point. Today, all the international media showing some interest in Cameroon talk of incumbent Biya battling it out with veteran opposition leaders, the most prominent being Fru Ndi. And their line up tells the story. Ndam Njoya. Garga Harman etc. These are all the children of the system fooling Cameroonians again in another masquerade called elections. France would be there afterwards to congratulate Biya and he would later on pass the baton to another heir chosen by France, in the same manner that he got power from Ahidjo. That is France’s game plan in Cameroon that politicians compromised by the evil system are sustaining.
I see that some genuine advocates of change are still in denial; constrained by ethnic, linguistic, family, religious and friendly ties to these enemies of the people who are making a mockery of the dream of THE NEW CAMEROON. Some of us are still deluding ourselves that something good can come out of Biya, Fru Ndi, Ndam Njoya, etc. No! Nothing good is going to come out of the participants of the October 2011 masquerade called presidential elections.
But something good will come out for the struggling Cameroonian masses who want peace, prosperity, liberty, development , freedom and dignity. Something good will come out from the masquerade for the post-independence generations, especially the foot soldiers of the Third Phase of The Struggle in the 1990s and those still under their twenties. This is the opportunity for them to make a clean break with the compromised generation of their fathers, a generation that corrupted the Cameroonian soul.
New configurations will emerge after this masquerade. It would be led by Union Nationalists, tested advocates of change who rejected the system, the oppression of the mafia, the deception of Jacques Foccart’s establishments in Cameroon and Africa, De Gaulle’s concept of Africa and the anachronistic system as a whole.
As said a decade ago, the Fourth Phase of The Cameroonian Struggle will start in the second decade of the New Millennium. It will start with the severance of the post-independence generation’s umbilical cord to the evil system. It will start with an alliance between the under 30s and the 30s-50s age groups. The Parlement generation and those who never conciliated in the struggle will lead the struggle. The Diaspora with its virginal intentions and attachment to the free world will be the base from which a new dawn for Cameroon and Central Africa shall be launched. But only through an integrated alliance of all the progressive, advanced, united and democratic forces at home and abroad shall the new Cameroon, central Africa and Africa be realised. It would involve emancipating ourselves from the mental slavery that still sees us preferring to exist in the brainwashed world of the political mafia in place than live in a NEW ERA that makes us the masters of our own brains.
