Cameroon: WIKILEAKS reveals possible robbery targets.

 Famed whistleblower website WIKILEAKS has revealed damning confidential from the United States embassy in Yaounde, Cameroon. According to Wikileaks, the diplomatic cables cache it has is carefully parsed and sensitive information removed. That may not be the case in the highly confidential cables leaked from the US embassy in Yaounde, Cameroon. Thinking Cameroon is a backwater nation and the names mentioned in the diplomatic cables is not only naive of Wikileaks, but now places the lives of some well meaning officials and even some corrupt ones in real and immediate danger.

When foreigners like Dooh Collins are paid more than a million dollars for dubious purposes, and are allowed to do business and even represent the government of Cameroon in dealings with foreign governments, wheras, according to the minister of communication Issa Tchirma, he should not be eligible to even vote in Cameroon, we know that trouble is headed the way of many in power in Yaounde. Personal details of the said M. Dooh are made public by the cable.

Furthermore, the aforementioned M Dooh rightly predicted that Philemon Yang would become the next Prime Minister. This protege of Ahmadou Ali, the Vice-Prime minister of Justcie and Keeper of the Seals may have spilled the beans on who is actually running Cameroon. It looks like Ahmadou Ali is the one who is running the show behind the scenes, makes ministerial appointments and other high level decisions. Paul Biya who is supposed to be president of the republic is out of touch with the country he purportedly rules. Truly a sad state of affairs. The verbose M Ali will surely have his day of reckoning soon.


Remy Ze Meka, a former minister of defense turns up many times in the radar as a thieving bureaucrat who would not hesitate to eliminate the president Paul Biya. You could almost hear the fear in officials' voices as they speak of Ze Meka. He is depicted by Paul Biya as having amassed a fortune running arms in Central Africa.


By far the worst case is that of Polycarpe Abah Abah, former minister of economy and finance. He is know to have more than $100million in cash stashed in foreign accounts. Why they kept him in government for much longer is a mystery. Such people, even in jail could become the targets of robbers. Thieves know how much he weighs in dollars and in a country where more than 90% of the population survives on less than a dollar a day, these crooks exposed by wikileaks suddenly look so appealing to their fellow bandits.
