Agendia Aloysius is a Cameroonian blogger who writes on politics, the economy as well as on other social issues. In his latest blog on http://agendia.jigsy.com/entries/cameroon/, Agendia Aloysius exposes President Biya's chat with US diplomat from wikileaks. The chat is focused on politics, security, and corruption and on the impact of economic crisis in Cameroon.
Agendia discloses that Mr. Biya was described to be tired, unfocused and virtually uninformed of happenings in his country by the U.S diplomat. According to the post, the president is seen as a tired leader whose relations with his top ranking officials cannot be guaranteed on trust. In the chat, Biya claims some aspects of government which Agendia tries to prove wrong. Though the post tries to bring out the ills of a government marred by corruption and ignorance, the blogger fails to suggest a way forward for the country.
On his part, Dibussi Tande, a Cameroonian resident in the United States, writes on Cameroon and Africa as a whole. In his website http://www.dibussi.com/2012/04/albatross-affair-profile-of- ephraim-inoni-and-hamidou-marafa-html#more/, Dibussi expounds the Albatross affair in what he titles 'Scribbles in the Den'. In the article, Peeking beneath the Veil of the Albatross, Tande tries to give an insight into the arrests and detention of former PM Inoni Ephraim and former Minister of Territorial Administration, Marafa Hamidou Yaya. Tande describes the arrests as a bombshell which in fact was not unexpected.
He outlines the events leading to the financial scandal that led to arrests pointing out to the fact that t5he arrests may have been far from a mere political affair. According to him, Marafa was ambitious; a fact which he says does not call for support but suspicion in Cameroonian politics.
His post is one that expresses a largess of information and political savvy. If writers write they should however try to give an insight to the future.
