Solomon, Thanks for bringing this reaction to our attention. Else where, a presidential address to the nation is widely debated in Parliament and among the citizenry. This reaction by Ni John Fru Ndi respects that tradition and is welcome. However, the main indicators of potential instability of the national institutions are self evident in Mr Paul Biya's speech. The incindiary and demeaning language he employs to discribe his adversaries and informed international public opinion and their largely concordant assessment that his political and economic record is "stagnant", betrays his acknowledgement at last that the peace he has consistently portrayed as the rationale for the egregious human rights violations is a mere facade. For him, a police state is a neccesary component or factor of political stability. His direct and veil attack on the international community, in particular the international financial confraternity, a key constituency that has sustained his 30 year misrule for its gloomy assessment of his economic record spelts doom for a regime that is short of new ideas on how to confront the aggravating so-cio political and economic consequences of failed economic policies and its effects on a volatile and disintegreting subregion. Within the polity, the intensification of motions of support to the President, is a constant reminder even to its proponents of the instability and uncertainty of national institutions and the life of the country. Let therefore a meaning debate start from this moment on how to salvage this sinking ship. Chief C.Taku --- On Wed, 1/2/13, solomon atanga <soloamabo@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:
