| The socio-political scientist Eric Mathias Owona Nguini decrypts the events to commemorate the "martyrs' week".  Eric Mathias Owona Nguini Photo: © ESA Some opposition political parties and figures from civil society in the diaspora, have launched a series of events public on February 23, in line with what is called "Week of martyrs." What was the political significance of this commemoration? In considering commemorate the dramatic events related to the riots of 2008, these parties of the opposition and civil society held to celebrate the rioters killed on that occasion. To do this, they intended to celebrate the memory of those involved in protest riot promoted from the rank of "martyrs". The political meaning of this commemoration will refer to these networks of anti-government reignite the challenge social and political regime hated by them which Renewal President Biya is the central leader. events planned were eventually thwarted by the regime. The authority did he have reason to fear an outbreak of protest in February 2011? The central government of Cameroon Paul Biya ordered around actually had reason to fear a possible revival of the surge in protest in February 2011. Its dominant players are aware that one way or another that the severe and brutal repression of the military-police riot explosion February 2008 has left many grudges. Moreover, the Cameroonian government knows about that policy measures introduced after the riots of 2008 to curb the cost of living have not been conclusive or effective. Renewal regime also knows that his housekeeper longevity and widespread corruption - at least in part related to its governance - not only earned him sympathy. Of course, the situation of political unrest in North Africa and the overthrow of dinosaurs linked to presidential Ben Ali (Tunisia) and Mubarak (Egypt), were and are still a concern for the Cameroonian regime. How can we understand the outcry seen in the corridors of power? The outcry securocrats safe and seen in the corridors of power is related to the willingness of the central leader Biya and bureaucratic baronies and manorial invoice military or civilian accompanying him, not to be surprised again . This waiver is justified by the will of the central leader and presidential-barons of his training leader does not need to undergo the course of events as in February 2008, at the risk of being outflanked by the forces of agitation and protest. It also reflects the regime's determination to retain control of the state and to cling to power in the face of hostile opposition groups who intend to challenge its monopoly by governing and sovereign or quasi-insurgency efforts insurgency. The overall political situation is very different from that which formed part in the riots of February 2008. This data can explain the mobilization shy around the slogan of the opposition forces? Certainly, the combination of all political February 2008 is not the same as February 2011 but the elements, economic and cultural structure of political opportunities and so clever are not different (perpetual government usury of power, governance disastrous; struggles of elites leaders; gagging and fragmentation of opposition groups, widespread corruption, insecurity radical for most of the population, inflation etc ...) The slow mobilization around the slogan of opposition forces is justified by the nature always repressive and enforcement of the order governing that emphasizes use authoritarian laws and regulations liberal civil liberties in civil liberties (especially by rationing the effective exercise of the right to demonstrate and freedom of assembly). She also explained by the lack of trust in many sectors of the population vis-à-vis a political opposition to be considered, rightly or wrongly as fickle opportunist, crafty, greedy for bribes and undermined by internal divisions and Byzantine. This is explained at last by political apathy and cynicism amoral or immoral, which has won broad segments of the population paid devotion in a bawdy powerless or staggering. That said we are still, perhaps, in the nascent stage of a new wave of protest that seeks its brands and marks as well as support and support among popular forces largely fatalistic to the enduring longevity of the system and governing its supreme leader. Do you feel that each side has learned from the events of February 2008? We can not know because the dynamics in the experimental challenge to the regime of President Biya Renewal and still finding its way. The forces of power worried because of the political effervescent and incandescent North Africa that has debunked the long-term presidential hierarchs as central leader, work ideologically, politically and safely kill unrest in the bud. The networks already mobilized the opposition trying to opportunistically boost a challenge undermined by a power that tolerates the competition and has a real aversion to pluralism. The population itself remains largely stuck in the politico-mind always authoritarian rule where even the fear of death, not which can then cross the steep passage that leads to risk and land where freedom reigns rather the fear of death. She wants the honey but is afraid of bees. | |
