Often times a dictator's strongest weapon is fear. When people fear the government they often refrain from participating in anti-government protests out of fear of retribution. Every dictator has used fear as a political tool; Hitler had the SS and the Gestapo, Stalin had the Gulags, and Saddam also used his secret police to have ultimate control of his people. Dictators will do anything to stay in power, violently silencing the voice of their own country is not something new.-AA
The police’s job is to maintain law and order and no uprisings or rots shall be tolerated, the law has to be respected in a country of rights like Cameroon. When they hunt down and arrest thieves and control road traffic, they are not President Biya’s police. The police is for the people.
