Fabrice Lena Sounds Alarm on Cameroon’s Wounds, Calls for Civic Awakening and Change

In a stirring reflection on Cameroon’s political and social landscape, Fabrice Lena, Campaign Manager for Ateki Seta Caxton and leader of the Na Wa Future Movement, has called on citizens to confront the country’s persistent challenges and reclaim the promise of the republic.

Fabrice Lena’s message paints a vivid picture of a nation weighed down by historical legacies and systemic inequities. He describes the country as a land of “rising sun and weary hearts,” where citizens traverse long roads burdened by dashed hopes and promises that fade in political parades. “The past still lingers like colonial chains,” Lena notes, drawing attention to institutions that bend to invisible hands while justice often remains silent.

The presidential campaign manager of one of the youngest candidates criticizes the entrenched political culture, where power is bartered rather than exercised in the service of the people. “Actors play on a stage of endless strife…truth is buried, far from the light,” he writes, emphasizing how cycles of mismanagement and opportunism leave ordinary Cameroonians struggling to make ends meet.

Yet, Lena’s message is far from despairing. He highlights a growing awareness and activism among the populace, urging Cameroonians to rise above the inertia of past failures. 

“Voices are rising from valley to hill…The future demands a break from the past,” he asserts, framing the upcoming electoral period as a pivotal moment for justice, accountability, and national renewal.

Calling for leadership that serves rather than exploits, Lena implores the nation to safeguard the “harvest your children keep” and to build a Cameroon guided by both heart and action. His poetic appeal is a rallying cry for citizens to participate actively in shaping a transparent and accountable political future.

Fabrice Lena’s statements on Thursday, September 25, echoing both frustration and hope, underscore the Na Wa Future Movement’s vision for a Cameroon that moves decisively away from old patterns of governance toward a more equitable and just society.
