Operation Sparrowhawk: Chantal Biya Released By Her Relatives
The atmosphere within CERAC shows an association on the move. At the headquarters of the organization located at the former presidential palace in Yaounde, it is also far from thinking that some members are gone.
Only, we remember that in Paris on April 16, 2016, Lily, Faycal and Aïssatou, the three children of Marafa Hamidou Yaya (incarcerated for embezzlement of public funds) initiated a campaign aimed at putting pressure on the Yaoundé regime for the release of their father. The siblings distributed leaflets to passers-by, Place du Châtelet.
The documents (issued by thousands of presses from a printing press located at 67, Rue Dubois in Paris), dealt with the injustice suffered by their parent. One sentence in the text promised "an unvarnished unpacking" of their mother's approach to the founding president of the Circle of Friends of Cameroon (CERAC).
Two days later, Aïssatou (the second daughter of the former secretary general to the presidency of the Republic) thundered on the airwaves of a Parisian radio. "Our mother has, since April 16, 2012 (date of the presentation of Marafa Hamidou Yaya to an investigating judge of the Special Criminal Court of Yaounde) asked Chantal Biya to denounce the arbitrariness surrounding the arrest of my father.

Chantal Biya chose to move away from our mother's supplication. You understand why this last, disillusioned, came out of CERAC! She admits. Further, she lets go: "This silence of Chantal Biya has signed a call for the multiple silent resignations recorded in the CERAC! »
Pressures
To take the words and their meaning, the organization headed by the wife of the head of state did not play the "right role" in the judicial whirlwind that takes some dignitaries of the Republic. "Despite its weight, the CERAC can not articulate a convincing speech, in connection with the situations in which our husbands are ... This fuel is sorely lacking at CERAC! ", Said Jeannette Marafa, June 27, 2015 on the set of TV5 Africa.
Suddenly, the feeling is emerging that the departures noted Gladys Inoni (wife of the former Prime Minister Ephraïm Inoni), Marie-Brigitte Atangana Mebara (wife of the former Secretary General to the Presidency of the Republic), Rose Olanguena Awono (companion of the former Minister of Public Health), Germaine Mendo Ze (wife of the former director general of Cameroon Radio and Television and author of 'Mbamba Esaè' dedicated to Chantal Biya) insinuate the lack attractive offer of CERAC in relation to the torments of their husbands, current prisoners of the Sparrowhawk.

Many ended up painting a CERAC worked by a lack of support from "Madame". According to our information, the unsuccessful lobbying of these ladies with Chantal Biya pushed them voluntarily towards the exit door of CERAC.
In this regard, indiscretions point out that at least two of the latter have approached the first lady more than once both in Yaoundé and Mvomeka'a (birthplace of the Head of State). Each time, the wife of Paul Biya would have responded according to a classic axis: "The CERAC is not the antechamber of justice".

"It is the truth contained in this sentence, slip under anonymity a tutelary figure of CERAC in Yaounde, which fueled grudges, resentment and despair. There, one can believe that our comrades of yesterday are mistaken of anger by resigning. Even if we can understand them, it does not crack the nail of the union between those who remain ».
From a factual point of view, this "current defeated" does not leave the "club of the great ladies of the country" after deafening explosions. "CERAC takes you when you come and leaves when you decide to leave for one reason or another. A departure can not be registered on the pediment of a large association. That's what these comrades do not understand, "says a political woman from the capital. To understand here that within CERAC, the challenge is not to make noise on predictable departures.
"The carpet to the exit door is carefully rolled upstream by our texts," insists another member of the humanitarian organization. However, at one time or another, some executives whose husbands are now imprisoned have tried to mount a mobilization parallel to the circle.
According to one member, Operation Epervier was a great opportunity to crystallize an old debate that runs through CERAC every day. This debate, one learns, relates to the proximity or not of the association with the political sphere regard to the profile of its members (according to Beatrix Verhoeven, author of "Chantal Biya, the passion of the humanitarian, published in 2008 to the editions Khartala, "the CERAC is composed of privileged women: wives of diplomats accredited in Cameroon, women members of the government, wives of members of the government, general directors of public and parapublic companies, deputies, general secretaries of ministries, lawyers, doctors, educators, business woman").
"Many think it's a political springboard. This is precisely the origin of the shift between politics and justice, "assumes an influential member who brandishes the" apolitical character "of CERAC.
