They believed that the Head of State is disconnected from the reality in the country when he argued that the Anti-terrorism Act is supported by the vast majority of Cameroonians.

Facing diplomatic corps and bodies who presented their new year wishes on the 8th of January 2015, the President of the Republic stated that the anti-terrorism Act recently adopted by the Parliament had the support of the vast majority of the Cameroonian.

This statement of the head of State has been challenged by social activists who continue to fight this law as they consider it repressive. For Philippe Nanga, Coordinator of the NGO "Future world", the Head of State is disconnected from the reality in the country. "If it is a collection of information published in newspapers, or that relayed by TVs and radios, the volume of the protests is largely above the volume of information to legitimize the Act", he argued.

For Y. Timba, another activist, this statement of the Head of State shows that he is far away from the people. "The text is bad, if the civil society find the text to be bad then it means that the Cameroonian have not accepted it.

The Cameroonian poses a question like; how can workers who go on strike be treated as terrorists, then it clearly means that they haven't accepted the texts. We are no longer on Earth, we are on another planet. " outraged civil society actor blurted out.
