Shakespeare talks of a tense silence that speaks on the eve of the battle of Agincourt. Soldiers anticipating death is a battle of nerves, listening to heart beat in the silence of each sentinel. There is a silence that questions”Who will be the next Cameroon ‘s president?” The presiding arrogance for the last 43 years was founded upon the satanic maxim that the incumbent must win in a do-or-die premise. The Islamic fatalism of the challenger states that dying for a cause is a Holy War, which Allah demands. Confronted by the fatalistic position of Islam that evil exists. must have existed, and the satanic hypothesis of the ruling government that the incumbent must win, Cameroonians are silent. This is the silence of the cemetery breeze or the silence of a sad couple contemplating divorce. Should the announcer of the results of the elections declare himself incompetent to declare the results, Cameroon as a nation may implode, not explode from tension within. Should the incumbent be declared a winner, Cameroon may witness a definition of chaos. Should the opposition win, the euphoria may break the bounds of reason. To save Cameroonians the embarrassment of a wasted journey after independence, President Biya should resign and save Cameroon from chaos. Let President Biya and the CPDM militants abandon the fight before the fight abandons them. Acceptance of defeat is not only courage but magnanimity. But for now, the tick-tock talking of the wall clock is a tense breaking of a tense silence that precedes a storm. Let God not abandon his beloved Dove call Cameroon to the hawk. Amen
