University Professors In Cameroon Throw Weight Behind Paul Biya

About 1000 Professors of Cameroon's government-owned universities have sent a letter of "deference and profound gratitude" to Cameroon's president of about 30 years, Paul Biya. In the face of the upcoming presidential election in Cameroon, these professors want to assure Biya that he has their "unconditional support."

Many people have wondered why Paul Biya has maintained his autocratic regime in Cameroon for this long. Wonder no more. If university Professors who should know better throw their weight behind an autocratic government, how can ordinary people behave differently?

With such respected and educated members of society backing Paul Biya, what effect does this have on the efforts and protests to get him out of office?
