Cameroon is lapsing into a political psychosis instrumentalised by an establishment elite, whose avowed aim is to disrespect the 1996 Constitution. Particularly, they want to modify Article 6.2 which limits Presidential mandates to two consecutive Seven year terms. We will be doomed if we let this happen. There is nothing this regime has to offer post 2011, which it could not do in the past 25 years. It will be unfortunate if this vibrant generation of ours is sacrificed (once more) on the alter of political gain. The recent legislative election was maneuvered to give one political party the opportunity to tailor OUR constitution to its private ends. Armed with this electoral obesity, a handful of Cameroonians (mostly CPDM, ex-convicts, felons and some with dual-nationalities) want to modify OUR constitution in OUR name. Overnight, OUR constitution may revert from an institution of sovereign allegiance to one of political oppression. Furthermore, we should not trust those who modified the 1961 Constitution in 1996 (and refused to apply it) to make another amendment today! As true as Communism is a street idea upheld by the elite, Democracy is an elite idea upheld by the street. Biya

The momentum is undeniable now. We are forcing them to acknowledge the growing demand for constitutional integrity.

Enough is enough. 25 years is already too long. We need change now for the youth.

They act like they own the country. They dont care about us or our future at all.

Everything is broken and the only thing they care about is staying in power. Its time for a new generation.
