CAMEROON, 88 YEARS OLD NIAT NJIFENJI RE-ELECTED AS PRESIDENT OF THE SENATE

By -

The Cameroonian Upper House of Representative has reinstated Marcel Niat Njifenji as president of the Senate on Monday the 27th of March 2023. He is a Cameroonian politician who was born on the 26th of October 1934, in Bangangte in the West Region of Cameroon. Marcel Niat was appointed as the first senate president and has held that position since it's creation in 2013.



He had seventy nine (79 ) votes out of Eighty two (82)votes. These decision has brought a lot of criticism from the Youths of the country questioning how can an 88 years old man be the president of that senate and how can he  hold a position for 11 years.

Prime Minister Ngute's Bamenda Visit: Political Theater Disguised as Development

By Edwin F -

The recent "working visit" of Prime Minister Joseph Dion Ngute to Bamenda was not a beacon of hope, but a stark reminder of the government's cynical approach to the Anglophone crisis.    Joseph Dion Ngute Far from a genuine engagement with the region's desperate need for development, this was a thinly veiled campaign event, meticulously staged to project an illusion of progress while delivering little more than recycled promises and insulting gestures. Let's be clear: the people of Bamenda are not blind. They see through the façade. The "Stadium" That Insults: The much-touted commissioning of the Bamenda "Proximity Stadium" with its paltry 350-capacity is perhaps the most glaring insult. While Yaoundé and Douala boast modern facilities like the 60,000-seat Olembé Stadium and the 50,000-seat Japoma Stadium, Bamenda is offered a glorified training ground. This isn't development; it's a condescending pat on the head, a symbolic offering t...

At 92, Biya Dismisses Youth Calls for Change: The Gerontocracy Tightens Its Grip

By Edwin F -

In a move that has become as predictable as sunrise, President Paul Biya has once again brushed aside mounting calls from Cameroon's youth for a younger leader, formally announcing his candidacy for the 2025 presidential elections.  At 92 years old, Biya's decision to seek an eighth consecutive term represents not just political stubbornness, but a fundamental disconnect from the aspirations of a nation where over 60% of the population is under 25. The Youth Cry Out, the Palace Turns Deaf For months, young Cameroonians have been increasingly vocal about their desire for generational change. Through social media campaigns, civil society organizations, and public demonstrations, they have articulated a simple but powerful message: it's time for fresh leadership that understands the challenges of the 21st century. These aren't just abstract political demands. Young Cameroonians face unemployment rates exceeding 30%, limited access to quality education, crumbling infrast...

Cameroon's 2025 Presidential Race: Empty Promises on the Anglophone Crisis

By Edwin F -

As Cameroon gears up for its October 2025 presidential election, a troubling pattern has emerged among opposition candidates that exposes the shallow nature of their campaigns and their disconnect from the country's most pressing humanitarian crisis. The Anglophone Crisis as Political Currency The Anglophone crisis, which has ravaged Cameroon's Northwest and Southwest regions since 2016, has suddenly become the centerpiece of every opposition candidate's platform. What was once a neglected issue in national political discourse is now being treated as a golden ticket to the presidency. Every aspiring leader is making bold proclamations about resolving this complex conflict that has claimed thousands of lives and displaced over a million people. The uniformity of their promises is both striking and concerning. Candidate after candidate confidently declares they will end the Anglophone crisis within their first 100 days in office. These sweeping guarantees sound impressive ...
