Cameroon 2011: Bertin Kisob and Paul Biya, a love - hate relationship

Custom Search 

Even though he has been exposed as a crook and liar, Bertin Kisob still continues to rant on overthrowing the Biya regime through violent means.




When a lone gunman held up traffic on the Wouri bridge in Douala, headquarters of the Littoral region of Cameroon, the "rev: Bertin Kisob was quick to say he was behind the attack. Further investigation showed that he was unaware of the perpetrators and was just piggy-backing on the media attention of the incident.






Why does the obviously delusional Bertin Kisob think anyone would want to be his follower is a mystery. He claims he did studies in theology but cannot remember the dates and in what institutions, and he writes a poorly structured and violence-infused blog.


Cameroonians want change, but through democratic means. Paul Biya is responsible for creating an atmosphere where people are highly suspicious of one another and expect widespread violence after the October 9th election. It is on this fear of the unknown that the attention-seeking "rev." Bertin Kisob is riding.




Paul Biya can deny him the spotlight by simply stepping down and allowing another candidate to be president. A country has to renew itself every so often. By strengthening his grip on power and refusing to allow the youth to participate in nation-building, Mr Biya and his cronies have set up the perfect storm. They should take full responsibility for the cleaning up - even if it is from a cell in The Hague.
