Biya bashed over condolences to Airbus A320 crash victims

President Biya and the people of Cameroon seem to be at odds. This time, it is over the publication of a condolence message from President Biya to the families of the victims of the Airbus A320 crash operated by Germanwings.

President Biya posted a message on his official Facebook page saying, "I send my condolences following the crash of the Airbus A320...”

In response to this message of condolence, Cameroonian Facebook users reacted angrily demanding that their president address his condolences to the victims of Boko Haram atrocities in Fotokol and other parts of the country instead.

"Our brothers and sisters who died in the Far North, really deserve sympathy," one of them wrote.

"You're laughing at us Mr. CPDM Chairman. We want more jobs. Create job opportunities for the youth and stop informing us about unnecessary things", another visitor said.

Have you sent your condolences to the Cameroonians who died in an accident on the Ebolowa highway? " asked another.

However, others observed that the president has always sent condolences to all the unfortunate situations that occur in the world. To them, it is positive and real diplomacy.
