Cameroon Transitional Council ( Opposition Leaders based abroad)

We are announcing the creation of the Cameroon Transitional Council or le Conseil de Transition du Cameroun, to tackle the Dictation-ship of Paul Biya & his entourage.
The council is the only legitimate opposition forces based abroad to chase the dictator Paul Biya in power since 1981.

Fru Ndi has stood the taste of time

Fru Ndi like Mandela and many other successful opposition leaders in Africa have something special to offer, and that is why they've stayed so long in the political scene. Despite visible efforts by the Biya regime to dismantle the SDF, the party and its leader has stood up. This is what we need, this is what we seek and this is what success entails. I believe in change, i believe in Fru ndi & the SDF, I believe in a better Cameroon.

Naive and unrealistic Cameroonians

Why should people expect Fru ndi to step down when the Fight is not over? The First thing i will challenge anyone blaming Fru Ndi is to ask what contributions He/She has made to the revolution. We are good at talking and complaining. We are always is a haste, wanting queen results from little input. It is a shame. I prefare the two devils we know, either Biya or Fru Ndi, because very few Cameroonians have proven to be credible. Other Countries have been in bloody revolutions for centuries without getting tired, and someone is complaining of being tired in a rather stable nation. It is true there is a lot of social injustice etc. My biggest plea. Let Cameroonians check themselves before checking their leaders, because we are all the same. It is a shame to we all. To those calling him dreamer, it speaks of its self. Because a great majority of us are not dreamers, that is why we are as stagnant as a prawn 'Cameroon'. For their in formation all great people that have walked the surface of this earth were dreamers, including present day Obama. Only Dreamers have persistence and non dreamers loose hope and get tired. Dream on Fru Ndi. WE may reject you along the way, but remember, a rejected stone becomes the corner stone. Your patience has prevented bloody war in this country. I hope for a fruitful Dialogue between you and President Paul Biya and I had a dream that the out come will earn both of you a Nobel Peace Price. Work it out, it wii work.
My Name is "THE PATRIOT"

SDF is the peace factor

The national ideology of this this party is really preventing Anglophones to completely remove themselves from that hell call La Republique , But Fru Ndi is a powerful and Popular Anglophone leader more powerful than the SCNC so to some extend he is right to say that the SDF is the consolidator of peace and not Biya.

about john fru ndi

fru ndi should stop dreaming of becoming the president of dercameroon,he is worser than president biya,why dont fru ndi step down as the leader of sdf

we are tired

chairman should know that change will never come if he wants to be the pope of cameroons peace , we should better invite God. and if God does it for us he should not come to head it as his servant.i think without this opposition, things could have changed more better than this

|o|

i respect chairman alot , but i think he should be dynamic with his political ideologist, buz the old one has not bear the fruits it needed to bear.he should know that you can never eat yoke without cracking the egg. even him, so we should hand it over to GOD. for the change to be devine

OMG

honestly, ths man is an embarrassment, imagine him as president!! Trouble oh! and since when does the peace of Cameroon lie in the hands of SDF? I guess this means the strike of 2008 was their idea then, apprentice sorcier!

shame

Fru Ndi is a disappointment. we donot need an opposition of that nature. Cameroon needs a real democratic opposition party

SDF

The only difference btw SDF and CPDM is France. Hihihihi. Thank You, Fru Ndi; i can sleeep well tonight.

SELL OUT

While Cameroonians are requesting FRANCE vacates the place, Fru Ndi goes to France to beg France to give him power. I am lost at this lunatic.

Bravo

Wish Fru Ndi the best and hope he makes it in the 2011 elections.

Dumb Dreamer!!

It is a waste of time for this dude to think that he can convince ALMIGHTY France to support his efforts to oust president BIYA of la Republique du Cameroun. When did a foreigner rule another a nation that is not his. This is the best example of a dumb Southern Cameroonian political begger.

can we really say?

i will just wish to ask if there is really indeed an opposition party in cameroon; that i think not. remember dear friends no developement without distruction.
