A succession or peaceful transition with regards to the head of the State in Cameroon is impossible. Many anticipate that governance must be clear, informed and realistic, and that is possible. Do not see this as an expression of an inevitable doom and gloom or a revelation of a fortune teller!

If succession or transition seems impossible and this is actually related to the institutional, organizational, decision-making and operational mechanism of the Cameroonian governing system which is actually structured around a monopolist lock with a Presidential padlock. In other words, the estate will be made confrontational because of the continuing systematic and strategic approaches in its governance; a some what autocratic state mechanism. This is set by the iron law of perpetual power.

"Indeed, the State still is run in an autocratic manner, despite its democratic and pluralistic trim which mainly is organised to display around the preponderance of the State-President", to quote of the late Ivorian and Beninese political scientist Tessy Bakary.

Because the Presidency dominates and structures all of the State machinery, various interest and pressure groups are caught in nets and nets of a company turned to a predatory communitarians rather than regulator, which will organize themselves into fierce factions wishing to conquer concessive purposes.

This situation strongly exposes Cameroon to the chaos of a real war of succession; a war of all against all for the preserved and the conquered -"Perpetual" power control
