Cavaye Yeguire Djibril Speaker of the lower house of parliament recently surprised Cameroonians by launching his own version of a national generosity campaign which he noted "is geared towards helping the Cameroon military" as they continue to wage the war against Boko Haram insurgence.  The veteran politician who hails from the Far North Region that has been under constant Boko Haram terrorists attacks, limited his “operation coup de Coeur” only to the honorable members of parliament.

In a soul-searching speech Cavaya Yeguire Djibril appealed to the 180 members of the National Assembly to make financial contributions to the Cameroon army. Cavaye told the MPS that he will channel whatever amount is collected to the Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization to procure the necessary amenities needed by military. It is not the first time a senior official in the ruling CPDM government is making such an appeal. During the 1994 FIFA World Cup in the USA, former Prime Minister Simon Achidi Achu carried out a similar measure. But all what the CPDM government did with the hundreds of millions collected ranged from plain fiction to the most absurd. Cameroon Concord intelligence officers in Yaounde are reporting that the country is broke and can no longer sustained the numerous wars along its borders. House Speaker made a clarion call for the MPS to put their hands “deep down their pockets” to support the men and women in uniform.

We of this publication stand shoulder to shoulder with the Speaker of the Lower House and we call on every Cameroonian in the Diaspora to support the Cameroon army. As they fight in the Far North Region against Boko Haram and in the East against rebels from the Central African Republic, they do not fight defending CPDM, SDF or UPC!!! And when they die under those Boko Haram rockets, they do not die serving President Biya and the CPDM. They die serving the Republic of Cameroon.
