North East Nigeria And Northern Cameroun - Why Is Buhari Afraid Of Paul Biya? by FrenchBiafran: 6:31pm On Jul 29, 2015
Read between the lines. It is a google translation from French to English but the message should be clear.

Remember that Buhari visited Niger, Chad, Osunbade visited Sudan I think. They chose not to visit Cameroun. Buhari visited UK US before neighbours Cameroun, interesting.

If you read or know a bit of Northern history then you know the link between what is happening in North East Nigeria with the way Northern Cameroun is set up.
-----------------------------------------------
Nigerian President Wednesday makes his first official visit to Cameroon. The two countries have strained relations due to historical border disputes. However, the need for cooperation in the fight against the Islamic state group in West Africa (former Boko Haram) could bring these two countries have common interests.

The visit "aims to build a strong regional alliance to confront the Islamist group" according to the spokesman of the Nigerian presidency. Moreover, President Paul Biya came to power in 1983, the year in which Muhammadu Buhari made his coup and the two men already know. The question is whether the relationship between Paul Biya and Muhammadu Buhari will be less difficult than it was with Goodluck Jonathan last three years.

In 1984, Paul Biya escapes an attempted coup. Purging which then exerts against certain personalities in northern Cameroon displease the President of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari. Relations between the two men then bad. Since thirty years have passed. But Cameroon and Nigeria still maintain delicate relationship, if not difficult. A historical dispute, fed by several border disputes.


Also in this complex relationship, symbolic gestures are important. In Yaounde, we had become used for fifteen years that a president elected in Nigeria reserves its first external visit to Cameroon. Muhammadu Buhari has failed to the rule, causing some critics worried in Yaounde.

An expected strong decision


But now Paul Biya and Muhammadu Buhari are somehow doomed to agree. The fight against the former Boko Haram is the foundation and the challenge of this new alliance.

In Yaounde, one of the questions that must decide the two men is that of the mutual pursuit of law in the fight against the jihadists. The armies of the two countries do not apply. But a strong decision could be announced following the visit of Nigerian President, this is at least what qu'espèrent observers.

The two presidents are also expected to celebrate the entry into next function of the Joint Multinational Force. Nothing like a common enemy at the bottom to reconcile two cold friends.

■ The expectations of socio-political actors in Cameroon

The Cameroonians, who desolated to see a widening distance between the executive Yaounde and Abuja, at the same time profound differences that appeared in the fight against terrorism, hoping that this visit long overdue, will enable iron out different and the adoption of a common strategy.

The actors of the Cameroonian socio-political scene are unanimous. The axis Abuja-Yaounde is vital in the fight that the States of the region lead the organization against Islamic states in West Africa (formerly Boko Haram).

Eric Binjamin Lamere, is the spokesman of the group "United for Cameroon", in February organizer of a great patriotic march against jihadi nebula. "It will be difficult to overcome Boko Haram if the axis Yaounde Abuja does not. It is imperative that Yaounde and Abuja talk, understand, work hand in hand, "he says.

The first Biya head-to-head Buhari of Cameroon and Nigeria and carries all hopes for a final settlement of the conflict. "We hope that the suspicions observed so far will be lifted and that now we can have a real synergy of actions between Cameroon and Nigeria," says the spokesman of "United for Cameroon"

This visit, hopefully in Yaounde, should also refresh the economic cooperation between the two countries. Jean-Baptiste Atemengue CPDM ruling underlines the interest between the two neighbors that have often opposed various tensions

"There was Bakassi, but I believe that the peaceful resolution of the itnernational right rather served as an example to other conflicts of this type. As has signed a new framework agreement at the commercial level, we can use what is possible to operate in economic and exchange. And we can not do without Nigeria, we in Cameroon, and I think that Nigeria also needs the economic leader of Central Africa to export in this sub-region, "says Jean-Baptiste Atemengue.
