Thank you Mr Azore! We the members of the diaspora are watching events very closely and are in solidarity with the hardworking peace-loving people of cameroon. Your article leaves no point untouched and gives an unbeatable picture of this 'Animal Farm' of a regime. Yes, would you not be surprised to see(as George Orwell would say)pigs in charge even where lions dare!? Not to put too much maggi in an already scrumptious curry you have made, I would like to share my personal experiences for the one year i stayed in the country. ON TAX: I am a businessman and with all the prospects that Africa provides, the dream is to establish in my country. Alas! no more. The Biyem Assi branch of the Yaounde taxation is not a government office...no, it is a hide out for gangsters! it took me ages to get my patente out of there! in the end, i spent more than the document costs! Everyone was ready to go and get my documents for me if i gave a tip. In one occasion, i stood in the queue and as the woman was serving, a group of people came in and because they spoke ewondo, they had to be served first! after about half the day was gone without success, someone asked me to take them out for dinner. then she explained to me how the system worked. i had to see the 'big man'...that meant tipping him, then herself and her colleagues and then 20 percent of the total cost so they could speed up my documents!

ON FINANCE...LEGAL TENDER. There is no doubt that more than a quarter of cameroon currency is counterfeit! In the midst of such disorder, one would think the best place to visit is the Financial House opposite Hotel de Ville! When I was about to fly out, I went there to buy genuine dollars. The lady in charge was excellent in customer service. there was even tea and biscuit...wao was this cameroon? Little did I know that Carole Ouandji, was the keeper of fake dollars! She then sent everyone out of her office since the money i required was a 'large amount.' After signing papers, she then asked me to go out because it is company procedure not to take cash out in front of customers. After a few minutes, the door flun open and she pointed to an envelop of 100 dollar notes. The next time i opened that envelop was abroad trying to change some of the money in a bank. Man dollar after dollar was being rejected, as i sweated in dismay. If not of the rosary beads that my mum and aunt count everyday, I would have been in jail today! I sent someone there and Carole the thief refused to talk to me on the phone!

Now these are just two examples to show the chaotic nature of the country. no one cares, we have plunged into anarchy. Biya himself is at the head of all this...the man doesnt give a tosser, he just cant be bothered about what is going on in his countr. to him cameroon is the palace in which he is in now...that is if he is not in the Hotel Internationale in Switzerland! We got to kick this guy out! cheers
