Electoral expert exposes systemic poverty as political weapon against youth

The political analyst Jean Paul Ntsengue paints a grim picture of Cameroon’s youth: starving and vulnerable to manipulation. He points fingers at irresponsible public fortune squanderers, corrupt politicians, and those driven by unchecked ambitions.

POVERTY AS A THREAT TO NATIONAL STABILITY

Manipulators and clientelists understand this all too well. Among them are irresponsible public fortune squanderers, corrupt politicians, and individuals consumed by unchecked ambitions.

These actors have worsened poverty conditions in Cameroon, pushing desperate youths into the streets. They peddle empty promises on social media, offering false hope in exchange for blind loyalty and political support. They’ve systematically blocked capable leaders from supporting President Paul Biya in his national duties, instead promoting mediocre figures loyal to their interests.

Fortunately, divine providence remains watchful. Spasmodic movements cannot heal deep wounds—they only delay the inevitable. President Biya, destined to enter history as the leader who brought democracy and prosperity to Cameroon, is a man favored by fate. He understands the path to a dignified legacy. Let us stand firmly by his side for the remainder of this historic journey.
