George Bush’s Visit to Africa: WHY BIYA WOULDN’T WANT HIM IN CAMEROON

Paul Biya would not want George W. Bush to tell him outright to end his political fraud.
======================
Mid this month of February, George Bush will undertake a one-week trip to Africa during which his tentative programme include Benin, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ghana and Liberia.

Regrettably, Cameroon is not on his programme. It is not clear whether the non-inclusion of Cameroon was the initiative of his journey planners or that Paul Biya did not invite him or they rejected Cameroon’s invitation.
At this critical time in the political history of Cameroon with Paul Biya manipulating the political
system to stay in power, the Americans may have considered a Bush stopover in Yaounde as an
endorsement of this.

Yet pundits think that a brief airport stopover in Yaounde might have been a welcome opportunity for the American president to tell Biya in his face to stop his political fraud.
But it is not ruled out that he could in his speech at Rwanda. He might state the US government’s position on the political tragedy unfolding in Yaounde.

To the special credit of Paul Kagame, the president of Rwanda, George Bush has been invited to Kigali during his visit, where he would attend a genocide memorial ceremony.

On that occasion also, some of the world’s leaders would be present namely, Tony Blair, Bernard Kouchner, French foreign minister, Horst Keller, German president, Ban ki-Moon, the UN secretary general.

According to George Bush’s tentative programme, his visit will begin on 16 February, where he will have a two-hour airport stop over in Cotonou, where he will chat with President Yayi Boni.

He will then proceed to Tanzania, where he will visit Dar-es Salam and Arusha. On Tuesday, 19 February, he is at Kigali. From Rwanda he will return to West Africa where he will visit Ghana on the 20th and Monrovia Liberia on the 21st before returning to Washington.
