A wind of change is sweeping across Africa. Ancient battles that have
had generations of men in Europe and Asia fighting one another,
spilled once unto the New World, and today, is waged by proxy in
Africa.
Up for grabs are the rich and fertile lands currently inhabited by
poorly led native African peoples.
Apparently, US intelligence knew what the leaked memos contained, for
they preemptively installed radars on the Cameroonian coast,
officially to help Cameroonian merchant marine navigation. But
insiders will know that the 24 hour monitoring of Cameroon's coast
Activities in waters as far afield as in dictator, Obiang Nguema's
The next sign of the impending regime change is the decision by the
European Union's (EU) permanent representative to Cameroon's decision
to pay about 5 months advance salary to expatriate workers only about
a month before the presidential election is expected to be held . This
is a thinly veiled signal to these employees to get ready to leave the
country in a hurry if need be. The extra cash would go a long way in a
poor country like Cameroon and would take care of any contingencies if
need be.
As stated at the beginning of this article, the main revelation, aside
from the thievery of Ministers whom Paul Biya appointed to government,
is the indecisiveness of Mr Biya. This was quickly picked up by the US
Ambassador during a visit to M. Biya.
A leader who cannot make a single decision is doomed to lead the
country to economic and social ruin, elements of which are rampant in
Cameroon today. The Wikileaks leaked cables reveal that Cameroon is
ripe for regime change, and Paul Biya may not even have a clue, for
whenever he comes to a junction when a decision has to be made,
whether small or big, he is overwhelmed. Some wiser cabinet members
sensed this, and the thieving started - way back in the early eighties
of the twentieth century.
Johnnie Carson, the US Under - Secretary of State also paid a visit to
M. Paul Biya. That is to be expected. More telling would be those
invited to meet M. Carson during his stay in Cameroon, for it is from
amongst these chosen few that the person who will lead Cameroon to
Economic Prosperity and Political Stability shall arise.
Paul Biya's weak leadership and failure to develop the infrastructure
of the country he has ruled with an iron grip for almost half a
century may well be what gets him booted out of power.

The turn has come for Cameroon to take center stage, with presidential
elections to be held by the end of this year. To give a sense of the
kind of protagonists in this fight, WIKILEAKS, the online
whistle-blower website leaked a secret document on Cameroon a few
weeks ago.
Apparently, US intelligence knew what the leaked memos contained, for
they preemptively installed radars on the Cameroonian coast,
officially to help Cameroonian merchant marine navigation. But
insiders will know that the 24 hour monitoring of Cameroon's coast
gives the US a strategic military presence in the Gulf of Guinea.
Activities in waters as far afield as in dictator, Obiang Nguema's
Equatorial Guinea and Africa's economic powerhouse, Nigeria won't
escape surveillance.The American presence also denies the French any significant military
presence beyond the usual military advisers found in former French
colonies. It should be noted that France has well established military
bases in Gabon and four other African countries including Cote d'Ivoire. There is a strong contingent of troops deployed in Chad since the "Operation Epervier" was launched in 1986. Other long-term
military treaties ensure they have a strong footprint on the ground in Sub Saharan Africa.
The next sign of the impending regime change is the decision by the
European Union's (EU) permanent representative to Cameroon's decision
to pay about 5 months advance salary to expatriate workers only about
a month before the presidential election is expected to be held . This
