How a Dictator Reacts to a Peaceful Call from Youths

This is a glaring case of police brutality against peaceful protesters for Change in Cameroon on FEBRUARY 23th ,2011. Biya the dictator has done it again, adding more scores to his already overloaded pile of crimes against unarmed citizens. This is not an analysis of the situation, this is an appeal, a call to action from the international community. This is unacceptable in a so called "democracy". Where is the FREEDOM of Speech? Where is the FREEDOM of expression? Is peaceful manifestation not permitted in the Cameroon Constitution? How will a group of peaceful protesters who sit in protest while airing out their disgust and requesting for genuine political change be treated as highway criminals? Beaten to the marrow by an unreasonable force of repression, trained to ACT and not THINK. Why should the world be silent to such acts? Who is the guarantor of security? Is the police supposed to protest peaceful protesters or take part in butchering their rights and freedom ?
This lady in the video who is treated as a miserable peanut vendor is a Political figure, a Presidential candidate to the upcoming 2011 elections - Ms Kah Walla. Her caliber and position was not enough, or rather, was meaningless to some illiterate police recruits who knew nothing but to ill-treat and pumped her with chemical water from the water tank. This is the true color of the Biya regime. Dictators know no reason, and feel no sentiment as long as their actions ascertains their grip on power. They don't understand the language of peace. All they want is power and at all cost. Change will come to Cameroon come rain come sun. This will not deter the youths from resisting to the scare and fear tactics. Change is at the doorsteps of Cameroon. Its time someone opens the doors and usher it in.

  1. Cameroon is one of the countries with the greatest freedom of speech. It seems you don’t follow current news. Go down across the streets and see what is written in news papers and listen to what is being said in radio stations, why are these not protested? Did you ask yourself that question? When you deal in illegality, tou ought to be sanctioned.
