While Cameroonians languish in poverty, a group of activists has recently discovered Paul Biya's mansion in Geneva, Switzerland. At the gate of the mansion the activists have put a placard written in French but translated into English, it reads: "Proof of ill-gotten wealth." In this video the pacard can be seen at 7:17. Paul Biya, the President of Cameroon, has always asked for proof whenever Cameroonians have pointed out that he is corrupt. This is another chance for him to come clean about the matter of this mansion.
In a related matter, mild protests have begun place in Cameroon as demonstrators call on Paul Biya to leave power. Some protesters were arrested and tortured. Biya's minister of communications denounced the demonstrations as day-dreaming - just like they all do before they fall.

I think it is a great thing that activists are pointing out how he wrongfully uses his money in order to show the general public and enlighten people on his selfish purchases. It will be very interesting to see how the protest in Cameroon unfolds especially in light of the other protests that have been happening in Africa. Also it will be interesting to see what country is next to lead their own protests in efforts to get rid of public officials
I think that the activists pointing out Biya's ill use of money is a noble cause and if somebody is going to protest in the first place I think that this is a good way to use your feelings in protest. As far as Paul Biya buying the mansion with his money in Switzerland is not a noble thing to do. I wish that he would see the true feelings of the people of Cameroon towards what is happening in Africa now, and I wish he would address what needs to be done with the country of Cameroon and not continue to use his money negatively.
