Maurice Kamto accuses: "Many African Academics Are Responsible for Our Misfortunes" - Lebledparle

Maurice Kamto criticizes the role of some African academics in politics, accusing them of supporting leaders who bypass constitutional principles. He condemns the advocacy of major constitutional revisions through parliamentary means instead of referendums and the justification of presidential dominance over popular sovereignty. Kamto states that there have been more constitutional coups than military coups in African countries over the past four decades. He believes that intellectual elites are as responsible as leaders for political and constitutional abuses in Africa.
