Fearing The Unknown, Peter Henry Barlerin Has Strengthened His Security! |
Why did the Americans make the decision to strengthen the safety of Peter Henry Barlerin? After his statements disapproved by supporters of Paul Biya’s 30-year regime, is the American ambassador’s life in danger?
The relations between Cameroon and the United States cloudless until recently, are no longer good with the arrival of Donald Trump in power. Peter Henry Barlirin’s recent controversial remarks about the ruling longevity of the Cameroonian president and the Cameroonian army engaged in a nearly two-year-long war against separatists in the English-speaking regions have worsened the situation.
As a reminder, the American ambassador made a communication on Friday, May 18, 2018 in which he accused the Cameroonian army of targeted killings during the war against secessionist terrorists in the English-speaking regions of South-West and North-West. On the other hand, the ambassador of the most powerful country in the world, received in audience Thursday, May 17, 2018 by the Cameroonian president, suggested to Paul Biya who has already spent 36 years in power, to no longer be a candidate for his own succession in the next presidential election.
