It is something constituted by military force. We are in an open war between two opposing entities. That is to say between a republican army and an army of insurgents who parade in military uniform. And from that moment on can a serous head of state prevent himself from taking consequent measures? "Continues the intellectual. Who is disappointed by the attitude of politicians.

"It's a declaration of war that should mobilize all politicians. I am surprised. When there was the Paris bombings you saw all the political class mobilized behind their president to fight a danger threatening the stability of the state, which threatens the pride of France. 

I am surprised that both of them have political calculations that the worst can happen in Cameroon because it is a president who is there. It is a solemn moment, important, so that all those who love Cameroon, can actually show it through a mobilization against a declared enemy of Cameroon. It is not a political problem. It's about the survival of the Republic. 

People will put their political ambitions first, " suggests the former teacher of the universities of Douala and Dschang. He denounced "an extremely serious political drift that indicates that political culture has done the trick."
