IN THE SHRIMP RIVER: THE JUNGLE

The Cameroonian political scene is like a jungle," says Blaise Takam, "where the law of the strongest reigns. Some fight to keep their privileges, others to have them. And in these rivalries, the most vulnerable are also the most manipulated, and it's the people who suffer, to the great satisfaction of the antagonistic camps.After the buzz created around the assassination of Martinez Zogo, Blaise Takam decided to come out of his silence to enlighten the masses "manipulated" by those who fight for privileges sometimes to their detriment. It's true that he relies on an empirical study, but a study supported by objective analyses. These analyses are then presented as a mirror that the author holds up to society, in order to shed light, raise awareness and alert us to the mechanisms of the jungle. Mr. Takam's mirror is intended to expose the meanders in which Cameroonian society as a whole is embroiled, thus inviting a readjustment to change this state of affairs, or to comfort oneself in a certain posture for those who are wise.
