CAMEROUN : POURQUOI BIYA FILE EN SUISSE À QUELQUES JOURS DES ÉLECTONS, TCHIROMA EN EMBUSCADE

Join this channel to enjoy exclusive benefits:    / @decrypterlafrique   Cameroon is still in full political turmoil as the presidential election approaches. And a question is increasingly being asked: Is Paul Biya heading calmly into his eighth term as president? Perhaps so calmly that the Cameroonian president flew out on Sunday for a "short stay in Europe," according to the presidential statement. A trip to Switzerland... just one more, with the presidential election set to take place on October 12th. So is this overconfidence on the part of the presidential camp or simply a reaction to the video appearance of Brenda Biya, the head of state's daughter, who briefly appeared in the opposition last week? What is the meaning of this new trip? And what about the opposition, still prey to verbal jousting over the question of the famous "consensual candidate"? Should we take seriously the breakthrough of Issa Tchiroma Bakary, former minister of Paul Biya? Debate between Calixthe Beyala, writer, winner of the Grand Prix Littéraire de l'Afrique Noire and the Grand Prix du Roman de l'Académie Française, and Wilfried Ekanga, political activist, close to the Movement for the Renaissance of Cameroon, the party of the opponent Maurice Kamto.
