Change is coming to Cameroon in 2011 and Ms. Kah Walla, leading presidential candidate seems to be the leader of the movement that will make it happen.
Cameroon has been too slow to react to current changes in the world. It is bogged down by an aging leadership which is a vestige of the colonial days.
Many other African nations are progressing at a fast clip. What is common in these countries is the turnover in leadership. Many African countries have had three or more different heads of state since independence. Those with the greatest number of leaders post independence also seem to have more robust democracies, and dynamic economies. Look at Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa, regional powerhouses that came of age when ancient leaders of Biya's generation and ilk were thrown out by the people.
However, the stagnant countries with aged leaders, clueless in today's high-tech world like Cameroon's Biya , Zimbabwe's Robert Mugabe and Equatorial Guinea's Obiang Nguema still lag behind.
What these strongmen have failed to do for their countries in decades will not be done in the next couple of years. They systematically introduce policies designed to keep the citizens impoverished, so that no one is well fed enough to complain about the poor state of roads, under equipped hospitals, or lack of schools. Survival is the purpose of their daily struggles.
Cameroon is ripe for a leader different from Biya, and the field is set for democratic change to occur. Kah Walla will make that happen in Cameroon in 2011.
Kah Walla, Cameroon needs you!
