Analysis: Brenda Biya's Alleged Plan for International Protection

This elaborate plan, in the making for the past eight months, appears to be crafted with a deep understanding of the Geneva Convention on refugee protection.

1. **Establishing a Long-Term Narrative of Sexual Orientation**:
    - It was necessary to portray Brenda Biya as a lesbian since puberty (age 16). However, this is contradicted by evidence that she had a boyfriend less than a year ago.
   
2. **Portraying Isolation and Rejection**:
    - The narrative needed to show that upon the discovery of her sexual orientation, Brenda was isolated and rejected by her family. In her interview, she mentions her brother's (unspecified) anger and her parents' ignorance of her orientation. Given Paul Biya’s strong intelligence services, it is implausible that such a significant detail about his daughter would escape notice.

3. **Perceived Lack of Security**:
    - The plan necessitated proving that the three degrees of security—familial, social, and state—were no longer guaranteed for her. Familial rejection from her brother and parents, social rejection from homophobic organizations and insults, and state rejection due to Article 347-1, which existed before her father's presidency and under which she risks imprisonment for living openly as a lesbian.

4. **Militant Advocacy**:
    - To avoid subsidiary protection and aim for political refugee status, Brenda positions herself as an LGBTQIA+ ambassador, advocating for legal change. This added a layer of activism to her narrative.
   
5. **Prepared Responses**:
    - The intelligence and poise displayed in her interview responses suggest premeditated and well-prepared questions and answers.

6. **Official Reactions and Threats**:
    - Whistleblowers like Boris Bertolt suggest that Minat Atanga Nji has threatened to arrest Brenda if she returns to Cameroon. However, this seems unlikely given the precedent of Gaëlle Enganaouit, who was never arrested, raising doubts about the authenticity of such threats.

7. **Implications of Political Refugee Status**:
    - Securing refugee status would make Brenda untouchable, protecting her wealth and allowing her to apply for nationality in the host country within six months.

**Conclusion**:
- This narrative aims to demonstrate that the Biya family is attempting to secure their progeny and their assets amidst a succession battle within the government. Brenda's status as a political refugee would ostensibly protect her and her wealth from repercussions in Cameroon.
- However, critics argue that Brenda's life is not in danger in Cameroon, and she enjoys a privileged life there. The Cameroonian public, long exploited by the Biya family, sees this as a ploy to secure their future at the expense of the nation.
