Mubarak of Egypt. Both were appointed Prime Minister in the mid -
seventies of their countries, then after the sudden opening of the top
slot in the land, became president.
President Anwar Sadat was assassinated, and Ahmadou Ahidjo resigned
reportedly after some bad advice.
The two men, both Prime Ministers, then ascended to the Presidency
without a popular mandate.
Another trait common between the two is the grooming of their sons to
take their seats once they left power, Gamal Mubarak in Egypt, and
Frank Biya in Cameroon.
Furthermore, the take their fellow citizens for immature and
uninformed fools. Mubarak spoke very patronizingly to his countrymen
less than 24 hours before theyouths pushed him out. In 2008, Paul Biya
characterized youths in Cameroon as wanna be sorcerers. The youths
didn't react but they didn't forget either.
As Mr Biya rushes to Geneva to add layers of protection and obfuscate
his ill-gotten wealth estimated independently in the Billions of
dollars and which is the object of at least one court battle in
France, the Cameroonian blogoshere is alight with calls for his
departure.
All elements are in place for a chase a la Mubarak, only, for Biya, he
will be more than happy to leave. He spends most of his time in
Switzerland and whenever he returns to the country, he has a permanent
sneer when talking to Cameroonians.
Him, his wife and entourage all carry foreign passports. His children
attend foreign schools as he deems Cameroonian schools inferior.
His healthcare needs are attended to in Europe, as no Cameroonian
hospital is up to the task. So we may ask, does Biya deserve to hold a
beautiful and glorious country hostage for 30 years?
Does Biya deserve to spend Cameroonian taxpayers money in chartering
planes to spend in Switzerland?
Check out Camerooninfo.net and judge for yourself.
As for me, the time has come for all Cameroonians to rise up as one
man and say "Biya Must Go"!
