Cameroon – The “katikas” want to upend the table: who would benefit from the fall of the state?

Cyrille Tchamba questions whether people who publicly claim to defend Cameroon’s regime may actually be helping destabilize the republic as the post-Biya period approaches. He likens the situation to a poker game in which the table is overturned when the cards are about to be revealed—or by the house itself. The article recalls that in 1998, Pius Njawé, founder of Le Messager, was sentenced after publishing information about a possible heart ailment affecting Paul Biya. Tchamba notes that questions about the president’s health and succession are now common street conversations.
