About The Mistakes To Be Avoided in Building The New Cameroon
For a people that lost more than half a million lives in a liberation struggle for the independence and reunification of their country yet failed to shake off the oppressive external forces who allowed self-rule and reunification of British Cameroons and former French Cameroun but put their puppets in power in a so-called independent Cameroon, this country known as "Africa in Miniature" is an Orwellian reality. It is hard for a non-Cameroonian mind to imagine that there are tidy solutions or pithy fixes to the big challenges in overcoming the reactionary forces responsible for Cameroon's disarray, but the stoical Cameroonian people believe that they know of tools that would help them better navigate the perilous course to the change that would lead to the "NEW CAMEROON" which has been their dream for more than a century. In "The Mistakes to be Avoided in Building the New Cameroon", the author engages Cameroonians and his foreign readers in a plain-spoken, candid, and thought-provoking dialogue that compels his audience to wrestle with the difficult reality that is Cameroon today and be engaged in a solution for the country. This would be a path that would see Cameroonians overcoming their shackles and building an enduring and honest society that would draw strength and community from the internal differences that Cameroon's detractors have been using to make it look like a country that cannot amount to anything. Thus, the account dismantles feelings of helplessness, despondence, self-doubt, and futility brought about by the program of social engineering of the Cameroonian people, thus exposing the hope, faith, and grid that are the cornerstones of the Cameroonian Soul. This insightful work on psycho-social change for Cameroon provides the impetus for advocates of "THE NEW CAMEROON" to overcome fear, find strength in themselves and their communities, and overcome the retarding forces holding them down. It is an account that provides the platform for lovers of humanity to recognize their internal light use and it for the betterment of Cameroon and our tempestuous world.
