Who wants to trap cameroon's Renaissance Movement? This is the question that can be asked after the circulation of a statement from this party to warn the authorities against any suspicion of destabilization of the nation.
What is it about? The statement below explains it to satiety.
DECLARATION / SOLEMN WARNING AGAINST FURTHER PROVOCATIONS BY THE REGIME
Since its launch in 2012, our party, the Movement for the Renaissance of Cameroon (MRC), has been the subject of all kinds of provocations and recurrent attacks by the regime in place in Cameroon. Already common before 2018, these attacks, based on crude montages, intensified after the historic presidential election of October 2018.
In addition to the arbitrary arrests, the systematic torture, both physical and moral, of our activists and sympathizers, their illegal detention that has become a political hostage, the CRM faces all kinds of criminal attacks orchestrated by the government. Among these attacks are false accusations, including those relating to arms purchases to destabilize the country.
Remember that to implement his criminal and unpatriotic project to prevent me from coming to the aid, through the humanitarian initiative Survie Cameroon Survival Initiative (SCSI), to the populations abandoned to themselves while Covid-19 was raging, the power had spread and shamelessly maintained that the money collected for this program was intended for the purchase of weapons on behalf of the MRC. Many representatives of power both in some traditional media and on social networks had abundantly relayed this state lie.
Let us also remember that an initiative of some Cameroonian activists gathered in Germany in 2019 and openly expressing their support for the secessionists was imputed to the CRM by the regime.
The public should know that for more than two years, a case that would concern the purchase of weapons via the Internet is pending before the Military Court of Yaoundé. In this case, the government is trying to make people confess that they would have been in contact with the CRM for an alleged arms purchase operation. On the other hand, even though we had duly informed the state security apparatus that individuals identified and handed over to the competent security services had contacted us in order to associate ourselves with a seizure of power by arms in the aftermath of the presidential election of October 2018, not only was this anti-republican and unpatriotic initiative never made public by the government, but the individuals in question have never been tried and convicted, to my knowledge! It is therefore a terrible tracker that had been handed to us. Although we did not fall into it, thanks to our visceral republican convictions and our deep attachment to change in peace and through the ballot box, the government has not been discouraged. He pursues his evil plan to persuade Cameroonians and the world that we want to take power by violence or by arms. He will never get there, because we love our country and are deeply democratic.
Indeed, several times, citizens have been forced, in vain, despite the atrocious torture in various police and gendarmerie services, to declare that they are involved in such cases of alleged arms purchase in connection with the MRC and myself.
It is for the same obsessive purpose that a video is currently circulating in which an individual speaking in the Fulfulde language, claims to have been contacted by the "people of KAMTO" to acquire weapons via the CAR in order to destabilize the northern part of our country, from Garoua Boulaï to go back to Meiganga and continue to Ngaoundéré, Garoua and Maroua
(see video [https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=4821154594562342&id=100000035479707] and attached transcript of what was said there).
Having failed in its plan to push the CRM underground, as the colonial power did at the UPC in the 1950s, and in its enterprise to break the formidable determination of the National Resistance, the black cabinet set up within the state apparatus did not resign itself.
Therefore, I would like to condemn in the strongest terms these practices of another age that resemble thugcracy, a practice unworthy of our country. I solemnly warn the one where those who, wishing to be in the good graces of the power in place, clumsily try to repeat operations conducted in the past on other targets with the failure that we know.
I formally ask that the sad character who, by staging himself in the video in question, has lent himself to this game both burlesque and sinister orchestrated by the power, be arrested immediately and brought to justice.

"In truth, there are people who want to destabilize Cameroon, and the Far North in particular. They went through me to bring in weapons from CAR and through Bamenda. And that we bring in rebels also from the CAR and through Bamenda to join and form an armed base in Garoua-Boulaï. [Their first actions] were to destroy the Customs offices, the Sub-prefecture and the Town Hall of Garoua-Boulaï; then they would carry out attacks aimed at destroying the cities of Meiganga, Ngaoundéré, Maroua and Garoua. But I told them I didn't want to be associated with their project. They are hardly extraordinary people, by God, they are the people of Maurice Kamto, they are the ones who wanted to associate with me so that we bring the weapons and the rebels to Garoua-Boulaï from the CAR and from Bamenda to make it a base (of operations) in order to destabilize the Far North.
By God, this is their project. What I am saying has been confirmed and consolidated by the Government of Cameroon. Because we intercepted [military] equipment?] intended to be used to destabilize Garoua-Boulaï, Meiganga and the cities that are beyond. I swear by God, it won't be with my help. That's why I stopped this fight, not because I received money from God. I stopped this fight because I understood the project of the people of Maurice Kamto to destabilize Cameroon and the Far North [especially] where even we fight for roads, electricity, water and infrastructure… while I am asked to participate in a project to destroy our achievements? By God it will never be with me. I am fully sensible. I will never associate with individuals to destroy Cameroon, I will never.
I will never associate myself with people who want to destroy the Far North that I defend for years. I will never join people to come and destroy the Customs offices, the Sub-prefecture, the Governor's office, the Customs offices of Ngaoundéré, Garoua and Maroua; by God I will not do it. The people of Maurice Kamto, they are the ungodly [vile villains], I swear by God. I thought it was Paul Biya the bad guy, that's what they put in my head, so they are the real godless.
The damage they want us to combine to orchestrate, paul Biya has never done so much. I never realized that Paul Biya was a great president; it was only in those days that I knew that he is a great man, a blessed man. It is nurturing major projects for Cameroon. Ask yourself why the French don't want Paul Biya anymore? Why are they drawing up plans to depose Paul Biya? Because when the agreements that [the French] had signed with Cameroon in order to squander our wealth expired, Paul Biya refused to renew [these agreements].
Paul Biya has decided not to sign any more contracts with the Whites. This is why the French made a pact with Maurice Kamto to destabilize Cameroon. And they wanted to go through people like me to destroy the Far North. Previously, they asked me to make videos so that in the next elections, Biya would no longer be re-elected; that's what I thought. But now they have changed plans, asking me to participate in the destruction of the Far North. If I let it happen, God will not leave me. What I am telling you here has been verified, and the senior officials [of this country] know it. If you don't know, senior officials know it. I thank God for allowing me to thwart the plans of Maurice Kamto's people to destroy the Far North.
I am grateful to you my Lord. Nothing will ever go through me, I swear. I thank all those who support me in this fight. But we stopped the [initial] fight; may those who love Cameroon and the Far North support Paul Biya. May the one who loves Cameroon and peace in the country and in the Far North support Paul Biya. Because Paul Biya has plans to build the Far North and Cameroon in general.
And because Paul Biya refused to renew the agreements once signed with the French, the latter then do everything to remove Paul Biya from power and to install their [military] base. in Cameroon in order to destroy the Far North. I swear it will never be with my participation.
"We are to God and it is to Him that we turn" (Qur'anic verse): I made a serious mistake in associating with such abject people who are the Bamileke, with the aim of destroying the Far North; but I didn't know, and I swear, that this was their project… and if I had known, I would never have accepted. But I beseech you, Paul Biya and the government, to forgive me, because I didn't know. I made a mistake and I will never commit a comparable until my death. I really had a misunderstanding of Paul Biya. While it is not so. I ask Paul Biya to forgive me, by the grace of God and the Prophet, also to the government and to all the ministers whom I have slandered, forgive me because I did not know that you are the true patriots in this country. And as of today, I strongly support Paul Biya and the CPDM. Whatever the circumstances, I will support them, I swear. Almighty God willing. Because Paul Biya loves us, and I had confirmation of this, he loves us, I swear by God. »
