Kah Walla and the Role of the Military in Cameroon

Kah Walla: Ready for the Presidency


As Kah Walla's campaign builds momentum, rolling with speed toward the official presidential residence, the Unity Palace in Etoudi, it is now time to examine the role of Cameroon's armed forces in the democratic process.

It is worth noting that apart from suppressing dissent in the 60s and a few border skirmishes with remote Nigerian border outposts, none in Cameroon's military has been in a real battle theatre fighting for the country. Some officers have participated in peace-keeping roles for the UN, and that is it.

General Pierre Semengue, still in service, and to whom the whole military apparatus was handed after independence is more of a patriarch than a post colonial military leader. He notably headed one of Yaounde's soccer teams for many years. Well respected in many circles, and after a very distinguished military career in which he has shown a lot of compassion to fellow Cameroonians, it is hard to see the general cum statesman tarnish his image by following any orders to quell dissent.

Paul Biya: Overshadowed by Kah Walla


We need look no further than Guinea to see the rather dim view the International community takes on such anti-democratic practices.

My Biya should see what is coming. It is bigger than anything in Cameroon's history. The people, starting with the Buyam-Sellam and unemployed Sauveteurs will line up behing Kah Walla, and she will certainly coast to victory in 2011.

Cameroon Nationalists heading to the Firing Squad: Kah Walla will restore them in the Nation's History!

    Hello,
    Great to endorse Kah Walla for President in 2011.
    As you rightly mentioned, Ms Walla will restore our sheroes and heroes in our Nation's History. Could you please use our national colors:Green, Red and Yellow on her poster, to reflect her love for Cameroon. Thank You.
    The Time indeed, is NOW!

  2. Kah Walla stands a chance of winning the election though a very slim one.
    1- she is relatively new on the political scene nationally less than 5 years some voters would be worried about experience.
    2- she does not have name/visual recognition since so many people in Cameroon who will vote may never have seen her on TV or read her name in a magazine
    3- she is a woman some people especially women out of jealousy will vote for any man instead of her
    4- ELECAM is not seen as free and fair, it has too many CPDM members who feel it is their duty to support a particular candidate
    5- The incumbents in Africa always win elections

    That said if she can overcome the odds then she will win
