Re: [cameroon_politics] Multiparty Politics in Cameroon since 1992: A Critical Assessment

The cankerworms of the hybrid body politic known as Cameroons, Cameroon or Cameroun are colonialism, neo-colonialism and autocracy. Until this unholy alliance is disentangled, "the laborer labors in vain". A sinking ship cannot be saved by redesigning it. To do so is like treating leprosy by treating  the leper's wounds.

Its very daunting for Cameroon and critical thinking and strategizing should be incepted in our every day thoughts on how things could be changed around. I for one is happy that women who yesterday were thought of  as only kitchen managers are today at the limelight of politics. After 31 yrs of the Biya Regime we are full circle, back to a one party system. What can a handful of opposition Mps or Senators do without exetensive pressure on the system by other groups. Its time for Cameroonians to wake up or Mar it. We would be watching very crtically every move of both the Lower and upper Houses as law makers in this country, and as they get down to work..Emergence 2035???

Multiparty Politics in Cameroon since 1992: A Critical Assessment

The electoral system in Cameroon is greatly infected with the corruption virus that is ravaging all the sectors in the Cameroon society. From the political strategies put in place by the CPDM government since 1992, there is ample evidence that a political will is lacking for a true democratization of Cameroon. All what we observe in issues of democracy evolve around cosmetic designs put in place to give some impression that there is democracy. This certainly explains why the introduction of anything judged by the opposition as a possibility of ameliorating the electoral process in Cameroon goes unnoticed. The introduction of transparent boxes, ELECAM, and today biometry has not in any way ameliorated the electoral process.
Some persons think that henceforth the biometric technology should be extended to the polling station for identification of voters, but this may not be necessary as such a venture will certainly complicate the process due to the lack of seriousness that we observe in most operations in Cameroon. What remains to be done is for the opposition parties to sit up and develop common strategies capable of motivating the Cameroon electorate to their camp. Out of a potential voter population of 9 million persons, only 5.4 millions were registered by ELECAM in the September 2013 twin elections. One of the objectives should be to sensitize the voter's population. The present political environment is appealing to very few Cameroonians who are certainly benefiting in one way or the other. The vast majority of Cameroons need change, a true change which should actually give them the confidence needed to confront the present day realities.
