Unveiling Tomorrow's Cameroon Through Today's News

Breaking

Today Monday, 17 October 2016 marks the 32nd day that President  Paul Biya Biya  has been out of Cameroon, he left the country on September 16th for New York barely a few days after he returned from an overdue stay in Geneva-Switzerland.

Consequently, opponents of the Biya regime in Europe,have mobilized under a group calling itself the (CODE )the Collective of Democratic and Patriotic Organisations of Cameroonians in the Diaspora, to take brilliant actions, which have led to the escape of  the absentee President from his Geneva hotel to a  more calmer and private residence , located at distance from the Lake Leman in Geneva.

In a video that is making headlines on social media, an activist from the CODE dressed in military uniform with a headscarf in the colours of the Cameroonian flag, shouts out at Mr Biya from  the parking lodge of the Intercontinental hotel where the presidential couple and the 40 man delegation accompanying him, had been lodging.The individual demanded President Biya, calling a criminal to fly back home and take responsibility of Cameroon's daily affairs.

The actions of the CODE members who had promised to come back was so  loud to the discomfort of the other guests who were lodging at the Hotel, the exposure of the Cameroonian leader's presence there subsequently prompted him, to change location and take up residence in a more secluded castle, on the shores of Lake Leman in Geneva, which is one of the most expensive neighbourhoods in the world.

Members of the code, have vowed that Mr Biya will have no calm anywhere in Europe. They  have promised further actions.
 "We are watching carefully every movement around the castle acquired with money from the Cameroonian taxpayers, and we reserve the right to act at any time from the publication of this release into forcing him to return to Cameroon, "writes Jean Michel Nintcheu, a Cameroonian refugee  and a member of the CODE.

He continues, "the CODE will do everything possible to force Paul Biya  to go back home and  take care of Cameroonian affairs.They  will lead any action it deems necessary to achieve this. "

This is not the first time that officials of the Code, have disrupted the stay of the President of Cameroon in Switzerland.
A few years back, the same group, had disrupted the stay of the head of state, thereby urging "the absentee landlord" to shorten his stay.

Issa Tchiroma Bakary, Cameroon's  Minister of Communication and spokesman of the Biya regime, rebukes the activists of the Code as "some lost individuals," wandering in Europe, financed by Western lobbies who are interested to see a regime change in Cameroon for their own benefits.In Yaounde, the actions of the Code  are without effect and insignificant.
