Albert Camus writes that to name things wrongly is to add to the misfortunes of the world. Defining the independence in Africa is still a big problem. As of today, the definition of that term is not settled. Hence battles over semantic control, agenda setting, legal and ideological hegemony are useful for the understanding of socio-economic and political organization and ways in which ordinary people sign up into laws that subjected them to authoritarian power where statehood is a biopolitical experiment of plantation system as nation-state where the independence are now considered transition in modes of subjection.
In this new modes of subjection, the president replaces the colonial master and rights, while universal, are actually restricted to an entitled few which is the president and his close allies. Within this context, special privileges are restricted to the few and the prison system turns into a plantation system where domestic terrorism is not a state crime because the plantation is a state of exception where the law is suspended and practices at the whim of the master and his legal despotic associates who treat any forms of dissent as criminal activities because of lack of constitutionally protected free speech and assembly. Hence, no constitutionally protected activities besides the ones allow by the state. Thus, the prison system is a site where the «bad negroes» are sent to languish.
Thus, how the political power, in the name of fighting corruption, stages and re-stages legal judicial spectacles to deprive legitimate political opponents from participating in political election.
If the plantation master, Paul Biya, is a real “democrat” as he pretends to be: why does not he free his opponents and take the risk of confronting his political “competitors” and internal “adversaries” designated in transparent ballot boxes? There is no need to sequester them arbitrarily.
The CL2P has the reluctant duty to lift the veil over the true dictatorial nature of a regime which presents itself to the face of the world as a model of “appeased democracy.” In practice, “appeased democracy” is a democracy as long as Paul Biya keep winning elections which he has done for the past 34 years through rigged elections and the imprisonment of the political competitors. In responses to these repeated electoral hold ups, it is important, consequently, to keep in mind the legal despotism Paul Biya uses to systematically incarcerate his potential rivals Designated as “prevaricators of the public wealth”.
The CL2P recognizes that it is not always an easy exercise to work for human rights under a blast of propaganda orchestrated by the Cameroonian regime that naturalizes, minimizes and desensitizes ordinary Cameroonians and the world to its old tricks, deprivation of ordinary Cameroonian’s human rights and vicious opportunism.
Hence the CL2P continues to fight for human rights because silence is the worst sentence for a prisoner of conscience. It plays an important part in the trivialization of political crime, particularly in Cameroon.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

The country of Cameroon is at a dangerous crossroads. It is time for moral clarity because old tricks won’t work tomorrow. As things stand today, Cameroon faces a darkening political future and the question of national unity is more pressing than never before. Paul Biya can help a lot by beginning to free political prisoners for a free and fair political competition.
