English Crisis: Paul Biya Approaches SDF

RDPC political scientist and activist Pr. Messanga Nyamnding applauds the SDF's latest actions in the National Assembly. He likens them to a strategic victory.

Political scientist RDPC Pascal Charlemagne Messanga Nyamnding was seduced by the Social Democratic Front. On Radio Balafon, an antenna broadcasting from Douala on Monday, November 27, 2017, he welcomed the "blockade operation" initiated by Cameroon's main opposition party with the aim of compelling the CPDM majority in parliament to open the debate on the English crisis.

He placed the SDF act "under the sign of a striking political strategy". And explain that in politics there are strategies that allow you to bounce and deconstruct your opponent.

"When there was a return to parliament, remember, the SDF boycotted the assembly.
But I would like to politically and strategically congratulate the SDF parliamentarians who have made a strategic retreat because, you see, when they boycotted the parliamentary return, this act was so unpopular that the SDF technicians and political agents felt that something had to be done.

You know that the assembly is like the Agora, this high place of exchanges where people express themselves and say what they want. Do not forget that the SDF boycotting the return to parliament, did not boycott the salary and their benefits, "said this" rebel "member of the central committee of the CPDM.

For Messanga we can not believe that we can open the parliamentary session "not to mention this English-speaking affair". He argues that at the time the SDF "seized this weakness of the CPDM". He thinks that the SDF has scored "very big points and good points in the opinion". For him voluntarily or involuntarily, the SDF gives the opportunity to Paul Biya to see the position of English speakers.

He moves forward and assures that their problem is "even partly settled". He goes to the end of his interview, recalling that he had already announced the release of English-speaking prisoners on Radio Balafon before releasing what he calls "confidence", "exclusivity".

"I assure you that President Paul Biya since yesterday agrees with this position (...) The National President agrees with the posture displayed by the SDF. He thinks that we need to discuss and discuss the anglophone question. This is a national problem and on this point the SDF deputies played well. They are in their role, "he concludes.
