confirmed by a tweet from Internet service provider MTN Cameroon.
Bouba Kaele, a spokesman for MTN Cameroon said on a tweet on the 09th
of March 2011, that due to demands from authorities, his company was
blocking access to the popular Twitter Service.
Paul Biya, who leads the regime that has been in place since 29 years
displays the same characteristics as other regimes that have fallen in
the Maghreb.
There is widespread corruption, and Biya has no clear successor just
like Hosni Mubarak of Egypt.
Furthermore, the country's first female presidential candidate, Kah
Walla was brutalized by Biya sponsored thugs on the 23rd of February
2011.
Paul Biya has also been under scrutiny for investing millions of
dollars in foreign real estate especially in Geneva, Switzerland. A
pro Democracy group, CODE found one such residences and posted videos
on Youtube.
This latest move to ban access to Twitter all over Cameroon by Paul
and Chantal Biya just goes to prove once more the repression that
Cameroonians have had to endure for the last 29 years under Paul Biya.
