Cameroon's elections: Are they viable?
Will Cameroon's elections be viable? But, with President Paul Biya, who has been in power for almost 30 years, seeking re-election, and some of the highest levels of corruption in the world, will these elections be any more credible than previous ones have been? Are you planning to vote in the Cameroonian elections? If so, do you have confidence in the electoral system? If not, why? For the first time Cameroonians in the diaspora are permitted to vote: if you are one of them get in touch and have your say.

Sometimes you have to look back and realize that you have done all you can and it is time to give someone else a chance. New leader, a new direction.

There is no Term Limit and once they are in Power thru the Barrel of the Gun they go out only in a Coffin. With the media as the spokes organ of leaaders and Government Branches serving the Ruler with out an Institution Election in Africa is only King making.
