Continue reading "Losers and Winners – Biya’s new Government in Cameroon" »By Innocent Chia
The June 30, 2009 government shake-up by Cameroon’s President Paul Biya has come as a surprise to a few and not so to many others that have, since late last year in 2008, been anticipating the change. Of seismic importance to many is the appointment of Philemon Yang as Prime Minister; even as the former PM, Ephraim Inoni, gets the boot and unconfirmed rumors that his passport has been seized. In Biya’s banana republic, a personnel recycling represents reform, or change as is known in the common lingo. Cameroonians know, meantime, that the appointment of Yang (from the North West) over Inoni (from the South West) fuels the perpetual burning fire among Southern Cameroonians just the way some politicians want it to be.
