While the legal adviser of the party Hon. Joseph Mbah-Ndam says the bill does not impede on liberties, party's Chairman, Ni John Fru Ndi considers it a mockery of democracy.

The recently adopted bill on terrorism is still causing scare and raising goose pimples on the bodies of most Cameroonians. But in as much as they try to defuse this confusion, their determination to after all, master its contents have met a rock wall from a strange quarter; the leadership of Cameroons' number one opposition party, or so the claim, the Social Democratic Front SDF.

Cameroon's National Communications Council is in the news, again, and for exactly all the bad reasons!

Prof. Tazoacha Asonganyi here suggests what it may take for the head of government to succeed in his assignment.

Joseph McCarthy was one of the most corrupt politicians of his time. He exploited the scare about the prospect of communist subversion against the United States with the claim that he had a list of people in the State Department who were known members of the American Communist Party. He engaged in witch-hunts against innocent citizens he accused of being communist subversives.

The National Football Team is an effective form of political association; it is a team of individuals united in common purpose. Like every association, its members enjoy political expression. The refusal - in protest - of the Captain of the National Football Team to take the Cameroon flag from the Prime Minister was a supreme act of political expression.
