        Biya and others are the morons that give Africa a bad name. How long does he want to stay in power? He cannot even protect free speech.

        Hallmarks of dictatorial regimes in Africa. A revolution to change this trend just begun. Things will never be the same again.

        I am surprised when people take pride in that office they occupy but are not ready for the criticisms that comes with it.
