Cameroonian Opposition Leader Faces Court Action Over Election Unrest, Authorities Declares
Cameroon's Interior Minister Paul Atanga Nji has declared that political opponent Tchiroma Bakary will be prosecuted over allegations that he instigated "aggressive election protests".
At least 4 demonstrators have been fatally wounded during clashes between security forces and demonstrators since the presidential election on 12 October, with President Paul Biya, aged 92 winning an eighth consecutive term.
Issa Tchiroma insists that he emerged victorious, a assertion disputed by the governing party, the CPDM.
Aggressive responses by police and security officers on protesters have alarmed the world leaders, with the United Nations, African Union and European Union urging moderation.
Minister's Allegations
Earlier this week, Nji charged the opposition figure of planning what he described as "unlawful" protests causing the loss of lives, and also rebuked him for claiming win in the electoral contest.
He further stated that Tchiroma Bakary's "accomplices behind an subversive plot" will also face legal action.
Poll Figures
Cameroon's leader, who assumed office in the early 80s and is now the oldest serving president, secured the October 12 vote with a majority of the vote, compared to a significant minority for Tchiroma Bakary, according to Cameroon's Constitutional Council.
Challenger's Position
Tchiroma Bakary is remains silent to the authorities' move to try him, but he had before stated that he rejected a stolen vote - and that he was undaunted of being taken into custody.
When results were announced, he said that gunmen opened fire on protesters assembled near his residence in the city of Garoua, killing at least two civilians.
Probe Announced
Recently, the interior minister disclosed that an inquiry would be initiated into unrest before and after the publication of the vote outcome.
"Throughout the violence, some of the perpetrators died," he commented, without providing a specific number of protesters who have been lost their lives in the clashes.
The minister further mentioned that multiple members of the law enforcement also sustained major harm.
Present Conditions
While the interior minister insisted the situation across the country was now under control, protesters are still demonstrating in various areas of the country, especially in Douala and Garoua, where protesters set up obstructions on that day, and ignited rubber on the roads.
Analysts warn that the political turmoil could plunge the nation into a governmental instability.
