Description

In 1991, a popular student movement arose in the grounds of Cameroon's sole university?The University of Yaoundé. The university students called this pro-democracy student movement "Parlement", the French word for Parliament. This fluid student united the ranks of Cameroon's different ethnic groups and brought together English-speaking and French-speaking Cameroonian students in a manner that had never been seen before. But besides it's across-the-board strength, it stood for something most pundits at the time considered altruistic?It called for the convening of a Sovereign National Conference to bring together Cameroon's civic society, the newly formed opposition parties and the Biya regime in order to work out a new constitution that would be the harbinger to free elections, the implantation of democracy in the country and an end to the anachronistic French-imposed system.

Many people also wondered why the students made the demand for the decentralization of the country's Higher Education secondary. The reason was because Parlement was the only body at the time that could rally the Cameroonian masses to bring down the system. And it almost did. Why did it fail? Why is there no genuine opposition in Cameroon today? Why is Paul Biya still in power twenty-five years after.

This recount provides some of the answers.
