President Ahmadou Ahidjo et Paul Biya, Cameroun Cameroon 1982

In November 1982, President Ahmadou Ahidjo of Cameroon who had ruled the country since independence in 1960, abruptly resigned and handed over power to the Prime Minister Paul Biya. He remained the leader of the ruling Cameroon National Union (CNU) party, the only authorized political party in the country.

He soon fell out with his successor who turned out not to be pliable as Ahidjo had expected. He was sentened to death in absentia after a failed coup in April 1984. He died in exile in1989 in Senegal. Just like his predecessor, Paul Biya has clung on to power for more than a quarter century, raising fears about peace and stability when he leaves the presidency.

Mentioning Ahidjo's name was taboo after the 1984 coup, but with disillusionment over Biya's rule growing, more and more images and historic documents from the Ahidjo era are surfacing. Here is a rare video footage and sound archive documenting the historic transition from Ahmadou Ahidjo to Paul Biya in Cameroon.

People who come and praise Ahidjo here are either hypocrites or they don't really know much about Ahidjo and Cameroon history as far the former president is concern.To me, when Ahidjo lead Cameroon,it was a time of terror.

That people can even openly talk against Paul Biya in public shows that there's an improvement.

Le président Paul Biya est un vampire suçant le sang. Suivez notre canal et vous verrez des cadavres d'étudiants universitaires assassiné par ses forces armées pour avoir protesté contre un régime brutal. Voir la vidéo (en sang au Cameroun). voir la vidéo chirurgies africains. Paul Biya n'est pas Dieu, alors pourquoi devons-nous lui permettre de décider qui vivent ou meurent au Cameroun

President Paul Biya is a blood sucking vampire. Follow our channel and you will see dead bodies of university students murdered by his armed forces for protesting a corrupt regime. Watch the video (Blood in cameroon). Also watch African surgeries and you will witness Paul Biya's brutality on women and children. How can this President and his entourage visit France (september 2009) and spend more than 800,000 euros of cameroon money while our people are dieing from poor healthcare?
