A CALL TO MOBILIZE
For A New Cameroon
Fellow Cameroonians,
To our dear citizens across the globe,
You are witnessing, just as I am, our home country’s downward spiral. Our homeland—the land of our roots, our Cameroon—is facing an unacceptable level of peril. In these opening weeks of 2026, the deep-seated flaws and serious failures that have built up over years have only grown worse.
On the economic front, every warning light has turned red. The State is technically bankrupt. As a chronic defaulter, it takes out endless loans every day, even selling off strategic resources to do so.
The people of Cameroon feel the daily toll of this in their very lives. Their future is being stalled: there are massive delays in road and equipment infrastructure; thousands of Cameroonians are dying because they cannot afford medical care; and the energy shortage remains constant. This is compounded by a profound crisis of leadership. Cameroon is no longer being governed. It has been hijacked by a trade in “high instructions.”
At the highest levels of the State, the government has vanished, replaced by a war between rival clans. Our Nation’s honor is being tarnished by a moral crisis: who wasn’t shocked by the scandalous glimpses into the President’s private life and the triumph of loose morals at the highest levels of the State? What kind of example does this set for our youth?
Repression is everywhere. Look no further than the victims of the post-election crackdown: the missing, the fifty dead, and more than 3,000 people arrested. Detainees of all ages are wasting away without trial in the prison cells of this barbaric state. They are starved and denied medical care, proper meals, and visits.
We cannot stand by while the ship sinks. We must stand tall against this usurping power that has taken our resilient nation hostage. A solution exists—it is the one you chose when you voted overwhelmingly for my transition program on October 12, 2025.
I first appeal to your generosity. Through your donations, we can provide aid and assistance, particularly to the children of the Republic who are victims of the regime’s bloody post-election repression and are locked away by the thousands in detention centers across the country. They need the support and comfort of every one of us.

I am also calling for your mobilization—you who live far from your birthplace but keep Cameroon in your hearts. You who, despite holding dual citizenship, work every day for Cameroon’s benefit. Whether you are engineers at NASA or in Silicon Valley, doctors, medical staff, researchers, teachers, executives, journalists, workers, entrepreneurs, or brilliant students around the world.
Together, we must move past our differences and contradictions for a common cause: the best interests of Cameroon. I therefore call on you to get involved in the ongoing battle for the Etoudi Palace. Shortly, my teams—who are currently setting up a Platform—will share the registration details. You will be able to contribute based on your own choice, skills, and talents.
I call you to stand by my side in this commitment to a NEW CAMEROON.
When a united people rises, nothing can stand in its way. When a nation, standing together as one, finally claims its place, it becomes unstoppable.
Long live the Cameroonian People. Long live Cameroon.
