700 Days of Protesting Paul Biya's Thirty-year Dictatorship in Cameroon

On November 6, 2013, Paul Biya, Cameroon's dictator, will be thirty-one years since France placed him at the helm of power in Cameroon. He came to power when Cameroon had a one-party system, resisted the idea of multi-party democracy until he could do so no more. Then he set up a sham multi-party system in which he has been rigging one election after the other since 1992. His latest exploits were the brazen rigging of the senatorial and municipal elections in Cameroon. Paul Biya has taught Cameroonians massive corruption, jailed his opponents on trumped up charges, ruined the economy of the country, and contributed to the early death of many young people of the country. Young people are fleeing the country in droves because Paul Biya has demonstrated that he cannot create a better future for the people of Cameroon. We here at FlourshingAfrica will continue to highlight Paul Biya's unholy grip on power in Cameroon until that monstrous regime is no more. We need people with fresh ideas to chart a better future for the people. Cameroon deserves much better.
