President Paul Biya and the Cameroon secret service have been told to comment on the allegations implicating them in the sudden disappearance of Dr. Captain Guerandi Mbara, the man who attempted to overthrow the Biya regime in 1984.
Jeune Afrique International Magazine with its very experience intelligence reporters revealed that the Biya regime with the complicity of President Blaise Campaore of Burkina Faso have kidnapped and killed Captain Guerandi in Ouagadougou.
Ever since the news was made public, the Cameroon government has maintain a kind of silence of the lambs with no word from Prime Minister Yang Philemon nor even the outspoken Minister of Communication Issa Tchiroma Bakary.
However, events seem to be taken a dramatic turn with members of the main opposition party, the Social Democratic Front getting involve in what is now being referred in Cameroon as the Guerandigate. Jean Michel Nintcheu, SDF parliamentarian for Wouri East in the Littoral region has today issued a strong statement denouncing the Biya regime's silence on the matter.
The SDF MP’s statement which was published only in French noted that Cameroon is no longer in the colonial years of the 60s and the 70s where Gestapo methods were used to eliminate political opponents.
Hon. Jean Michel Nintcheu echoed the Jeune Afrique position that Captain Guerandi Mbara has either been killed or being detained in a secret location in Yaounde.
The SDF deputy is now calling for an international commission of enquiry into the Captain Guerandi affair that should involve President Blaise Campaore of Burkina Faso. The Guerandigate has started a new political crisis in Cameroon.
Captain Guerandi Mabara is reported to have acted on Late President Ahidjo’s directives to overthrow the government of President Biya in a military coup that was staged on Friday the 6th 1984.
