February – Opposition groups, trade unions and Diaspora groups are preparing “Egypt-like” protests in Cameroon tomorrow, 23 February, to call for President Paul Biya to step down. The US Embassy warns of possible trouble.
“After Egypt; Cameroon next stop,” has been a message spreading throughout the internet during the last week, with some calling for “a popular pacific revolution,” some for a general strike and others for “Paul Biya to be sent to prison.”
The 23 February protest movement – with the date marking the third anniversary of demonstrations protesting high food prices – for now seems poorly organised and coordinated, with major opposition parties and civil society groups still not openly calling for mass protests.
