Paul Biya, Cameroon's president for thirty years, has banned all protests in Cameroon. Those who are allowed to protest in Cameroon are those who do so in support of the ruling CPDM party or Paul Biya himself. That is why those who plan to demonstrate against Biya are summarily arrested and detained. With the forthcoming presidential election, Biya is making full use of the military dictatorship he has been presiding over for so long now.

That’s total nonsense. Cameroon is not a jungle where no laws should be respected. When protests are being banned it is because they are illegal and people do not follow the normal procedure before protesting. The forces of law and order are in their due right to stop illegal protests which can degenerate into population unrest and go out of control, they are not being used in any case by President Paul Biya but just doing their job.
