 CAMEROON-INFO.NET :: Will Anglophones benefit anything from the appointment of Inoni as PM?
Before him there were Simon Achidi Achu —1992-1996 and Peter Mafany Musonge-1996-2004.
This appointment is reminiscent of the 1992 appointment of Achidi Achu, which was made to counter the inroads that Fru Ndi and the SDF to which most Anglophones sympathise with, were making on Biya and the CPDM.
Many Southern Cameroonians see him simply as another blossom flower that will soon wither and fall to join the likes of Foncha, Muna, Fonca Shang (remember him?), Achidi Achu and Musonge, all of whom have had their day in the leadership of the Republic of Cameroon.

That like other Southern Cameroonians who have been La Republique du Cameroun’s Prime Ministers before you – Achidi Achu, Peter Mafany, you are, to say the least, merely an appointee of the Francophone dominated despotic regime of La Republique du Cameroun.
You are appointed solely and purely for the convenience of the Yaounde Francophone regime to hide the incontrovertible truth and deceive the world that there is one and only one indivisible la Camerounais Francaise.
From Achidi Achu to you, it must be registered, that it has been the issue of using Southern Cameroonian lackeys to complete the annexation, assimilation and integration of the Southern Cameroons into the so-called one and indivisible La Republique du Cameroun.

Economic cleansing and economic genocide are always dependent on the ‘brawn’ of the individual or group aggregates which manage to hijack the instruments of power, prestige and privilege (the state) and, which, like local Serbs, do everything to sustain the hegemony and preserve the status quo.
Francis Nkwain claims that the Bamenda-Fundong road, erected thanks to the efforts of a former German Ambassador is actually his handiwork while Pa Simon Achidi Achu is still beating his chest and claiming that the portions of the Bamenda-Nkambe road that show some ‘soupcons’ of tar got to that state because he was Prime Minister.
While the army of true defenders of the cause is known, the legion of the traitors, the pretenders and their offspring are also known.

In 1992 the North Westerner, Simon Achidi Achu, and the South Westerner, Ephraim Inoni were appointed respectively Prime Minister and Deputy-Secretary General at the Presidency of the Republic.
They, and other highly placed Anglophones, tend to be members of the Anglophone delegations which are regularly sent by Biya from Yaounde to the Anglophone provinces to contest the claims of the leadership of the Anglophone movements and to defend the unitary state.
For a critical commentary on the "politics of back-scratching" which former PM Simon Achidi Achu and his successor PM Peter Mafany Musonge sought to promote in their regions and elsewhere in appreciation of appointments by Biya, see Rotcod Gobata in Cameroon Post, 26 November - 2 December 1996, p.7.

We may re-call that the present SWELA is not what the patriotic and visionary Barrister A. Enaw and other progressive minded South Westerners of the ilk of Dr. Simon Munzu and Chief Charles Achaleke Taku envisaged.
Mol’s first collection of verse has been translated into Hindi while Bogini Z Mount Africa, subtitled “an autobiographical anthology of metaphysical love and mundane challenges” is dedicated to one of the greatest Polish poets, Julian Tuwim, anti-fascist, one-man pressure group on behalf of “the common man”.
Poetry of this colouration can be read as symbolic of the wider selfish political bitterness and acrimony that has been imposed on Cameroonian peoples by the emergent class of Jean Paul Sartre’s “white-washed lies”.

Mindful of these tensions, Biya has made efforts to increase his support in the English-speaking community.
His appointment of an Anglophone, Simon Achidi Achu, as prime minister in April 1992 failed to bolster support for Biya among the English speakers in Achidi Achu's Northwest region, where most people backed Fru Ndi's candidacy for the presidency in 1992.
The English-speaking region was the site of protest demonstrations against Biya in October 1993 and December 1994.

To pauperise, my English dictionary tells me, is, among other definitions, to reduce someone to a state of poverty.
This is what I believe has happened to the Cameroonian civil servant over the past several years when Paul Biya and his altar boy, Achidi Achu, his then prime minister, made two successive dramatic raids on civil servants’ salaries, slashing them in the process by well over 70%.
Elsewhere in Africa, the streets of the land would have been littered with debris of all sorts, including corpses, as civil servants tossed Molotov cocktails through their frustration and torched the land with their anger, from north to south and from east to west.
