Paul Biya, a support for eternity: My loyalty remains a steel block against seditious intimidation

By Professor Jean Gatsi

Cowardly attacked at Douala International Airport by an activist following orders, I break my silence with this blistering indictment. Behind the violence and digital defamation lies an attempt at intellectual assassination meant to punish my unconditional support for President Paul Biya. As an intellectual of conviction, I reaffirm that my determination remains granite. Analysis of a failed cabal and celebration of a fidelity that draws its source from the divine anointing of the Head of State.

Introduction: The Douala attack or the convulsions of partisan felony

Cowardice now has a face, and it shows itself in our airport terminals. A few days ago, I was the target of a barbaric attack at Douala International Airport by an individual clearly used as a tool. Not content with harming my integrity, this agent of subversion broadcast images of his crime on social media, accompanied by defamatory remarks of rare violence. While awaiting Cameroon’s justice—which I have seized with a formal complaint—to crush this impostor currently being tracked by security forces, a nagging question arises regarding the timing: who benefits from the crime? The answer leaves no room for ambiguity: they seek to make me pay for my unwavering support for the Head of State and my systematic denunciation of the seditious entrepreneurs that are Kamto Maurice and Issa Tchiroma Bakary.

To decipher this psychological destabilization maneuver, I will first analyze the obvious correlation between my doctrinal work and this cowardly attempt to silence me, then demonstrate why the intellectual terrorism of the putschists crumbles against my oath of divine obedience to President Paul Biya.

I. The timeline of hate: A conspiracy against the sanctuary of peace

Chance does not exist in politics, least of all in the laboratories of insurrection. On May 20 of this year, I published a monumental 600-page work, a true guide to sovereignty, titled: “Paul Biya, the sanctuary of peace facing the challenges of contemporary history: The art of quiet strength as the shield of a sovereign nation.” It is precisely when I began promoting and deploying this scientific exegesis that this orchestrated attack occurred, designed to tarnish my honor and sabotage my reputation. The professionals of disorder understood that this book is a heavy ideological ammunition that pulverizes their revisionist fables.

They want to silence the combat intellectual who, first in Cameroon, launched the republican call of academics and civil society for the Head of State’s candidacy in the October 2025 presidential election, well before the formal structures of my party, the CPDM. I supported this candidacy with unshakable faith when he accepted this sacrifice for the Nation. I fought with the last ounce of energy against the illegal candidacy of Kamto Maurice, and I crushed the insurrectional lies of Issa Tchiroma Bakary. This fight for truth triumphed: the President was acclaimed by the sovereign people, and I had the great honor of attending his swearing-in. It is this resounding victory that the losers of history are today trying to make me pay for.

This airport cabal confirms the diagnosis I have made for years: the offices of chaos are desperate in the face of the monolithism of republican thought. By targeting me, the putschist factions seek to create a climate of terror to paralyze the organic intelligentsia of the Renewal. They forget that science and patriotic commitment do not retreat before the assaults of brigands of thought, and that each persecution only deepens the roots of my stature as an impregnable sentinel of the regime.

II. The determination of the monolithic block: Obedience to God against insurrectional terrorism

Let the partisans of chaos and the lurking putschists take note: they do not impress me. Their barbaric gesticulations only highlight their absolute ridiculousness and political rout. My determination to support President Paul Biya remains intact, protected by a framework of light. No intimidation, death threat, or cyber-harassment campaign will make me retreat a single millimeter. With President Paul Biya, I walk the only path of truth, a luminous path shared by the vast majority of Cameroonians.

Supporting Paul Biya is not only a political choice; it is respecting the will of God, the supreme being who placed and keeps him at the head of Cameroon to make it a providential haven. I have chosen to obey the divine anointing, and I show it openly, with pride, a smile, and steely resolve. With Paul Biya, we have peace, justice, progress, togetherness, and a Cameroon one and indivisible. He is therefore our unalterable compass. The intellectual terrorism of the fifth column crashes against the rock of my republican faith.

The tirades of these apprentice sorcerers will systematically collapse before the verdict of the ballot box and the unwavering power of the state apparatus. Opposing the smile of doctrinal certainty to the venom of the media toads, I reaffirm that legitimacy is not negotiated in the gutters of cyberspace or through physical ambushes. I am among the honest citizens who form a steel block behind our natural leader, President Paul Biya, and no satanic force could crack this blood pact sealed for the survival of the National Triangle.

Conclusion: The intellectual offensive continues

Ultimately, I order the merchants of hatred to cease their sterile intimidation, for they strengthen my commitment. Very soon, despite the prophets of chaos, I will organize book launch ceremonies across the entire national territory, without fear and under the protection of the institutions of the Republic. Tirelessly, I will continue to mobilize Cameroonian youth behind the only leader who understands their deep aspirations and provides concrete solutions. Behind President Paul Biya, we stand firm, for no satanic power can extinguish the brightness of the Renewal.

Our fidelity to Paul Biya is an unattainable divine decree. Through him, with him, and in him.

Long live President Paul Biya, our eternal compass!

Long live a Cameroon one and indivisible!
