"Maitre" Barrister Sitchui Kameni
In a very interesting research work, titled "Are Cameroon citizens squatters on their own land"? The authors go into great length to explain and debunk the fallacy "Inherited from the French Colonial Masters" that "All Land Belongs to the State". There is therefore no doubt that I share intoto their conclusion that "All Land SHOULD not Belong to the State". The French put in all these archaic provisions so that they can turn around and plunder our natural resources (as they are doing right now with impunity) and not be held liable while smiling their way to Paribas and BNP Banks. This is totally ridiculous. I am even surprised that in 2012, Cameroonians and other African friends are not outraged to hold the France accountable for these dastardly Crimes Against Humanity.
Read ercerpts here:
Rural and even cosmopolitan Cameroonians are deeply insecure in their land tenure. National law provides some security of occupancy for unregistered house plots and farms, but only to the extent that (limited) compensation is payable for loss of permanent crops or infrastructure when the government requires the land for other purposes.
These include the right to grant unregistered land (most of Cameroon's land area) in absolute title, lease or exclusive occupancy licenses to loggers, miners, ranchers, biofuel or food entrepreneurs, or to itself (in the form of State Forests).
The government may do this for two reasons: first, because the legal definition of public purpose is very loose, and second because Cameroonian law fails to acknowledge customary land-holding as amounting to real property interests, and therefore according the protection of private property, including paying
Customary owners the market value for lands which government appropriates for public purpose.
