Violence Against Unarmed Citizens: Maurice Kamto’s Warning

In his “Pensée MK” published on November 2, 2026, Maurice Kamto says that a police officer, gendarme or soldier who brutalizes an unarmed citizen has chosen the wrong profession. He argues that security forces should reassure the public and make it an ally rather than provoke its hostility. Kamto denounces “usurpers” who, he says, invoke the protection of the common good to justify terror and the seizure of collective resources. He reminds security personnel that they are part of the people and warns them not to forget it; no specific incident is cited.
