"True democracy is a safety valve to let a youthful populace register their desire for change. The alternative is that they gravitate toward violence or even terrorism. Biya has found a way to stay on, but ... demographics mean that change is inevitable." washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

The situation in Cameroon is set to seriously escalate in the coming days. Either the government will start to crumble or repression will rapidly worsen. De-escalation seems far away.

I honestly can't wrap my head around this news. I spoke to Muhammed just two weeks ago. He was so kind, and so sure everything would be alright in the end. He had so much faith El Fasher would survive.

Anyone from Cameroon here? 🤣🤣

Breaking News: "We will not back down" - Issa Tchiroma Bakary #MMINews #Tchiroma

Most of the rest of the country acted like the anglophone crisis was not their problem. Now the same crisis has been used to keep the regime in place. It turns out it was all our problem.

Mass slaughter in Sudan, Jihadists are taking over the Sahel, Ethiopia on the brink of war, Mogadishu slowly getting surrounded, major uprising in Cameroon Europe continues to ignore the situation across Africa & can expect a refugee crisis that far exceeds 2015/16 because of it

Sen. Paul is right. These are murders.

So October 27 Cameroon’s election results will be formally announced. If I thought it would be an honest announcement I’d stay up all night - but based on history I’m not optimistic. God grant that I’m wrong and peace and justice will reign in that great nation.

Quand l’Internet ne fonctionne pas au Cameroun 🇨🇲 et on vous brandit le prétexte du câble sous-marin WACS qui est coupé, n’oubliez pas ceci: 1. C’est l’État du Cameroun qui a pris le contrôle de ce câble à son point d’arrimage à Limbe après l’accord signé entre MTN et le Minpostel de l’époque. 2. Le Cameroun a fait construire son propre câble SAIL qui part de Kribi. On a toujours une dette à la Chine de plus de $500 millions (280 milliards CFA) pour sa construction. Il a le double de la capacité de WACS. 3. On a trois autres câbles (ACE, SAT-3 et MainOne) en cas de défaillance d’un câble. 4. Tous les câbles sont sous le contrôle de l’État 🇨🇲 qui a donné l’exclusivité de l’exploitation à Camtel. 5. Seules les solutions satellitaires comme Starlink (qui n’est pas autorisé) échappent au contrôle de l’État. Yes vous comprenez alors… 6. Ensemble, ces câbles offrent plus de 70 Tbit/s de capacité Internet, mais le Cameroun n’en utilise même pas 15%. 7. Le gouvt a déjà utilisé la coupure internet contre sa population lorsqu’elle a privé le Sud-ouest et le Nord-ouest d’internet en 2017 pendant 93 jours. Donc please stop lying to us. We aren’t that stupid. #BringBackOurInternet

It’s confirmed: Cameroon 🇨🇲 government has cut off internet in certain localities and reduced internet capacity in others in an effort to maintain 92 yr old Biya in power, after he lost elections. #KeepitOn

Breaking News: US Congressman Jonathan Jackson has expressed concern about the ongoing political challenges in Cameroon and has called on political actors to exercise restraint, respect due process, and honor the will of the people. In a release addressed to the Foreign Affairs Committee on Africa on Tuesday, Jackson commended the people of Cameroon for their continued commitment to democracy, as demonstrated by their participation in the October 12 presidential election. “The United States' longstanding partnership [with Cameroon] is rooted in shared values, including respect for democratic governance, the rule of law, and human rights," he said. However, he stated he was concerned by reports indicating limited political freedom, restrictions on civil society and the media, voter disenfranchisement in conflict-affected regions, and other irregularities that could undermine confidence in the electoral process. “I urge the electoral commission, the judiciary, and the constitutional council to ensure full transparency and accountability in accordance with Cameroon's electoral code and to allow for the prompt and credible publication of results that reflect the will of the Cameroonian people,” he said. Jackson emphasized that violence or intimidation has no place in the democratic process. “I reaffirm my commitment to work with the Government of Cameroon, civil society, the African Union, and international partners to prevent conflict, support peaceful post-election dialogue, strengthen democratic institutions, promote good governance, and advance peace, stability, and respect for human rights for all Cameroonians.” His statement comes as Issa Tchiroma Bakary has claimed victory in the October 12 presidential election. #IssaTchiromaBakary #CameroonDecides #Election2025 #UnityForChange #CameroonProtests #VoiceOfThePeople #MMINews #StandTogether

Cameroon 🇨🇲 shut down the internet so the world wouldn’t see people marching to claim their victory, with security forces seemingly unable to contain. See the videos. #BringBackOurInternet #BiyaMustGo
