As opposition party leaders in Cameroon and the Diaspora begin meeting in
Washington DC in the United States of America yesterday 10 July 2010, in what
observers described as a gamble on a last ditch strategy to bring change in the
leadership in Cameroon come 2011 presidential election, the chairman of the
Social Democratic Front, SDF, Ni John Fru Ndi, and Jean Jacques Ekindi of
Progressive Movement have said they will not attend, giving reasons why.

The meeting has been convened by a new political forced dubbed Cameroonian
Diaspora for Change, CAMDIAC.

Those in attendance include Ben Muna of the Alliance of Progressive Forces,
Adamu Ndam Njoya of the CDU, Celestin Bedzigui of Le Party de Furmi. Others in
attendance include Hameni Mbieleu, Guerandi Mbara, Mboua Massock, Christopher
Fomunyuh and the widow of the late President Amadou Ahidjo.

Contacted last night by phone on why he would not attend, the SDF Chairman, John


Fru Ndi, gave as reasons the fact that his officials in the US could not
identify the conveners of the meeting and that he has had enough of such futile
attempts to regroup and strategise on how to bring change.

Fru Ndi quoted his experience in the Coalition for Change in the 90s which hit
the rocks. He further noted that any such meeting must be held within the
country where the reality is and not in a foreign land.

Fru Ndi said he received an invitation quite alright, but was expecting his
party officials in Washington to properly identify the body that goes under the
name Cameroon Diaspora for Change.

Meanwhile, also talking to Eden by phone, Hon. Jean Jacques Ekindi of
Progressive Movement who is also not attending said he was invited for the
meeting but everybody has his strategy and his was not in line with the
conveners of the meeting.

According to Celestine Bedzigui of Le Party de Furmi, the objective of the
conference is to mobilise forces and bring new stimulating perspectives among
opposition parties in Cameroon in particular and progressive Cameroonians for
change in general.

“History has shown that when a people are oppressed to choking point, they are
always ready to join forces especially progressive ones to bail them out. This
is exactly the driving spirit behind the Washington conference”, he said.

Corroborating Bedzigui, Bernard Muna of the Alliance for Progressive Forces
pointed out to the press before his departure to the US that the opposition in
Cameroon and some right-thinking compatriots in the Diaspora were folding their
sleeves to begin high profile discussions for a united front to bring change in
the country.

Ben Muna who encouraged Cameroonians to register massively in preparation for
the 2011 election pointed out that “change can only come from the people”,
assuring that there was hope in the horizon.

Eden gathered that the conference that is bringing together thousands of
Cameroonians of all walks of life in the Diaspora and Cameroon is intended to
set a new agenda to bring effective change of leadership in the up-coming
presidential polls in 2011.

Also invited at the conference are Cameroonians in the Diaspora belonging to the


ruling CPDM like members of Code USA and CPDM USA, indicative, according to the
organisers, of the patriotic spirit behind the struggle for change in Cameroon.
Also present are some renowned University of Yaounde student leaders of the 90s
known as ‘student parliament’,
The organising committee of the Cameroon Diaspora for Change conference includes


Dr. Pierre Ade as Secretary General, Howard Njeck as Executive Director, Jean
Bosco Tanye as Director of Political Action, and George Tanya as Director of
Communication.

peit papa in south africa .that is a great question but even before we move on to a system of rule we need to difine the laws which will lead us to defining how we gorvern ourself.if we reflect a few centuries bihind for example when the impire of shongai exist .it was a decentralized system where all the traditional rulers will give report on thier work to the ruler of the impire .this means in a villadge for example not all villdgers will go on to dicide who rules the kindom in case of the shongai impire but today its president .the is what we call the quater head and the villadge head they seed dawn to have a wise chat on the chalenges of the villadge and dicide on what step to take same should be when it comes to chosing a president .it most be the responsibily of the chifes t elect who will rule the wole country .but for a system like this which realy is african to work the most be rules linked to our ancestors to keep fresh in the chifes mine he also stands for our values .come
