MESSAGE OF THE NATIONAL PRESIDENT OF RDPF (KUMZSE), ENDING AND BEGINNING OF YEAR WISHES TO CAMERONIANS
MY DEAR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN,
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009!
IT IS A JOY AND PRIVILEGE TO ADDRESS THIS MESSAGE TO YOU, INDIVIDUALLY AND TO THE PEOPLE OF OUR NATION.
WE HEREBY SEND TO YOU OUR WARMEST WISHES AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS NEW YEAR.
ONE YEAR ENDS AND ANOTHER BEGINS, BRINGING WITH IT AN ASSESSMENT OF THE YEAR PAST: A PERSONAL ASSESSMENT, A FAMILY ASSESSMENT, A COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT AND A SOCIETAL ASSESSMENT.
WE ARE CONSCIOUS THAT EACH ONE HAS MADE HIS OWN APPRAISAL AND KNOWS WHAT THAT ENCOMPASSES. WE PONDER:
- HOW TO MAKE THIS NEW YEAR MORE PROFITABLE, ABUNDANT, MORE PROMISING THAN THE LAST?
- HOW TO EXPERIENCE MORE HAPPINESS AND JOY?
- HOW TO ALLOW FOR NEW AND BETTER POSSIBILITIES FOR EVERYONE?
- HOW TO FINISH OLD BUSINESS AND PUT AN END TO ALL THAT WE KNOW AS NEGATIVE?
- HOW TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITIES MORE GENEROUS, MORE INTERDEPENDENT AND MORE CONGENIAL?
- HOW TO CREATE GREATER SOCIAL JUSTICE?
SO MANY QUESTIONS ARISE AT THE END OF A YEAR AND THE BEGINNING OF ANOTHER!
WE LIVE IN AN ENVIRONMENT OF MODERNIZATION: DEVELOPMENT
IS NOT EFFORTLESS, NOTHING IS EASILY GRANTED, AND NOTHING IS GIVEN OFFHANDEDLY.
WE MUST DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO DESERVE WHAT WE RECEIVE; WE MUST WORK VERY HARD FOR OUR WAGES; WE MUST BE COMPETITIVE AND HONEST WITH OURSELVES IN ORDER TO KEEP THE RESPECT OF THOSE WHO DESIRE TO WORK WITH US.
WE CAME FOUR YEARS BEFORE THE ELECTIONS OF (2007-2011) TO GIVE PEOPLE TIME TO GET TO KNOW US, TO REDISCOVER
WE ARE AT THE BEDSIDE OF OUR COMPATRIOTS TO SAY THIS TO THEM:
“YOU ARE NO MORE ALONE, AND WE DO NOT FEEL ALONE IN YOUR COMPANY”.
FOR THE PAST TWENTY-NINE YEARS (1982-2011), THE PRESIDENT IN OFFICE HAS BEEN ATTEMPTING TO PROMOTE DEVELOPMENT AND WE ARE HERE TO TELL YOU THAT THERE IS ONLY ONE POSSIBLE WAY OUT. IT IS YOU WHO HAVE THE POWER TO MAKE THIS DECISION BECOME OUR SHARED REALITY.
“A NEW DEMOCRACY IS POSSIBLE IN
THE PREVIOUS ELECTIONS (1992, 1997, 2004, 2007 AND 2009) SHOWED THAT THE CAMEROUNIAN PEOPLE HAVE REACHED A POLITICAL MATURITY WHICH ENABLES THEM FROM NOW ON TO MAKE SUCH A CHOICE.
THE FELLED VICTORY ORGANIZED BY THE LEADER OF THE OPPOSITION LEFT CAMEROUNIANS WITH A PENCHANT FOR NEW LEADERSHIP. YES! ALL SAY
WE BELIEVE WE CAN ANSWER THIS CALL FOR NEW LEADERSHIP IN ALL HUMILITY.
IN 1997 I PARTICIPATED IN THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS TO MARK THIS COMMITMENT, AND AS AN OPPOSITION LEADER TO CREATE A NEW ERA OF DEMOCRACY IN OUR BELOVED COUNTRY.
WE COME TO SAY TO YOU THAT WE ARE READY TO SERVE. YOU DESERVE TO EXPERIENCE THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF CAMEROUN AS A LIGHT, A BEACON TO GUIDE US ALL.
