Cameroon: Land of Endurance and Resilience

This work attempts to show that Cameroonians have a weird way of exhibiting endurance and resilience in their daily activities. They do so in the form of indifference, tolerance, grumbles or complaints, etc. They do not act decisively, vehemently, collectively and rationally. They do not promptly set up collective, unified and organized groups to counter glaring excruciating, inhumane and degrading phenomena in their society. This situation is discernible as far as the following and other points are concerned: family life; gender issues; youth affairs; persons living with disabilities; the public service; the private sector; telephone companies; electricity issues; water issues; democratic considerations; health cases; transport matters; educational cases; social classes; the world of debts; armed institutions (the army, the police, gendarmerie, penitentiary units, etc) as well as the Anglophone Problem and Crisis. There is urgent need to review the said weirdness. Finally, the government should take judicious measures to pre-empt, as much as possible, situations of endurance and resilience, measures which substantially provide appropriate answers to crucial problems.
