In addition to his personal propanda site that touts his achievements to foreigners, Biya is now on Facebook. Compared to the Facebook page of Barack Obama or Nickolas Sarkozy, for examples, Biya's page says nothing about important progress being made in Cameroon. It is rather filled with messages to or from foreign dignitaries meant to boost Biya's image. It would be nice if Biya could use his page to talk of the improvements that he is making to the lives of Cameroonians. Let him say how he has improved people's lives duing his almost thirty years in power. I challenge Biya to show his achievements on his Facebook page like other normal presidents do. Biya describes himself on his page as a politician. He should more accurately have described himself as an autocrat rather than a politician - there is a big difference between the two. An autocrat, like Biya, is answerable to no one; a politician is answerable to the people. Obama and Sarkozy are answerable to their people, that is why they use their Facebook pages to show how they are helping to improve the lives of their people. Biya, on the other hand, is not answerable to Cameroonias but imposes himself on them even as he has no achievement.
