Cameroonian President Paul Biya has once again reaffirmed his steadfast commitment to building a peaceful, democratic, and prosperous society, underlining his vision as the country approaches the 2025 presidential election.
“Violence is the unhappiness of the people. We do not want that in Cameroon.
Our goal remains the establishment of a peaceful, democratic, just, and prosperous society,” Biya declared, emphasizing his dedication to fostering stability, citizen participation, and social justice as the pillars of national development.
This renewed declaration comes amid ongoing socio-political tensions, particularly in the North West and South West regions, which have been entangled in the Anglophone crisis since 2016.
The protracted conflict has prompted calls from opposition groups and civil society for an inclusive national dialogue to bring lasting peace.
President Biya, who has been in power since 1982, seeks to reassure Cameroonians of his commitment to governance rooted in dialogue and justice.
While critics argue there remains a stark divide between official rhetoric and realities on the ground, others interpret his statement as an effort to refocus the national discourse on core republican values.
As he campaigns for another term, Biya’s message underscores the urgency of national unity and social equity in a country grappling with deep divisions.
The president’s emphasis on peace and justice highlights his intention to position himself as the architect of stability and progress in Cameroon’s complex political landscape.
With the election looming, the challenge remains whether these promises will translate into tangible change for the millions of Cameroonians yearning for peace and inclusive development.
