PAUL BIYA, A SUPPORT FOR ETERNITY: My loyalty remains a steel block against seditious intimidation
By Professor Jean Gatsi
Brutally attacked at the Douala International Airport by an activist following orders, I break my silence with this scathing indictment. Behind the violence and online defamation lies an attempt at intellectual assassination aimed at making me pay for my unconditional support for President Paul Biya. Against the chaos promoters, as an intellectual of conviction, I reaffirm that my determination is unwavering.
Analysis of a failed conspiracy and celebration of a loyalty that draws its source from the divine anointing of the Head of State.
Introduction: The Douala assault, or the convulsions of partisan betrayal
Cowardice now has a face, and it shows itself in our airport terminals. A few days ago, I became the target of a savage assault at the Douala International Airport by an individual clearly acting on orders. Not content with harming my integrity, this agent of subversion spread images of his crime on social media, along with defamatory remarks of rare violence. While I await the justice of my country—which I have seized through a formal complaint—to crush this impostor, now being sought by security forces, a burning question arises given the timing: who benefits from the crime? The answer is unambiguous: they are trying to make me pay for my unwavering support for the Head of State and my systematic denunciation of the seditious entrepreneurs Maurice Kamto 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 before my oath of divine obedience to President Paul Biya.
I. The timeline of hate: A plot against the sanctuary of peace
Chance does not exist in politics, especially not in the laboratories of insurrection. On May 20, I published a monumental 600-page work, a true viatique of sovereignty, titled: “Paul Biya, the sanctuary of peace facing the challenges of contemporary history: The art of quiet strength as a shield for a sovereign nation.” It is precisely as I launch the popularization and deployment of this scientific exegesis that this orchestrated assault takes place—staged to tarnish my honor and sabotage my reputation. The professionals of disorder have understood that this book is a heavy ideological munition 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 political party, the CPDM. I supported that candidacy with unshakable faith when he accepted this sacrifice for the Nation, I fought with the utmost energy against the illegal candidacy of Maurice Kamto, 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 signal honor to attend his swearing-in. It is this resounding victory that the losers of history now try to make me pay for.
This airport conspiracy confirms the diagnosis I have been making for years: the offices of chaos are cornered by 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 thought brigands, and that each persecution only roots more deeply my stature as the impregnable sentinel of the regime.
II. The determination of the monolithic block: Obedience to God against insurrectional terrorism
Let the chaos supporters and the ambushed putschists know this: they do not impress me. Their barbaric gesticulations only highlight their absolute ridiculousness and political defeat. My determination to support President Paul Biya remains intact, protected by an armor of light. No intimidation, no death threats, no cyber-harassment campaign will make me retreat one millimeter. With President Paul Biya, I walk on the only path of truth, a luminous path shared by the vast majority of Cameroonians.
Supporting Paul Biya is not just a political choice; it is respecting the will of God, the Supreme Being who placed him and kept him at the head of Cameroon to make it a providential haven. I have chosen to obey the divine anointing, and I express it openly, with pride, a smile, and a steel-like resolve. With Paul Biya, we have peace, justice, progress, living together, and a Cameroon that is one and indivisible. He alone is our unchanging compass. The intellectual terrorism of the fifth column crashes against the rock of my republican faith.
The invectives of these sorcerer’s apprentices will systematically crumble before the verdict of the ballot box and the unyielding power of the state apparatus. By opposing the smile of doctrinal certainty to the slime of media toads, I reaffirm that legitimacy is not negotiated in the gutters of cyberspace or through physical ambushes. I am among the honest people, those convinced citizens who form a steel block behind our natural leader, President Paul Biya, and no satanic force can crack this blood pact sealed for the survival of the National Triangle.
Conclusion: The intellectual offensive continues
In sum, I order the merchants of hate to cease their sterile intimidation, as it only strengthens my commitment. Very soon, regardless of the chaos prophets, I will organize across the entire national territory the dedication ceremonies of my book on the Head of State, fearlessly and under the protection of the Republic’s institutions. I will tirelessly continue to mobilize Cameroonian youth behind the only leader who understands their deep aspirations and brings concrete solutions. Behind President Paul Biya, let us remain standing, for no satanic force can extinguish the clarity of the Renewal.
Our faithfulness 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 Cameroon, one and indivisible!
