Since President Trump took office in the White House, the United States’ global policy has taken a 180º turn in order to fulfill the candidate Trump’s promise: “Make America Great Again”. It means fighting for U.S. interests first and making sure America’s security and relations with its closest allies, those who have always been on our side, are kept intact or stronger.
Unfortunately, sometimes the way the U.S. State Department works does not provide the best frame for Trump’s policy to develop, as it is closely guarded by a small army of Democrats that have infiltrated our foreign policy. Their goal is clear: implementing their own policy instead of the one that our President wants for our country. The difference is clear: on one hand, the Democrats didn’t win the 2016 elections and still want to decide, and on the other one, an elected President’s decisions are not applied not respected.
The case of Cameroon is somehow emblematic of the situation. For more than two years, our foreign policy has targeted this African country, despite any logic and the fact it has been one of our closest ally in West and Central Africa for decades. Not once has Cameroon missed an occasion to be on our side and stand with the USA. Still today, when China is literally buying the African continent, Cameroon is still on the United States’ side despite the fact that our Ambassador on the ground, Peter Barlerin, a well known Democrat activist, is been accused of supporting and organizing the opposition.

Fun fact: the US was the first country to congratulate Paul Biya when he was re-elected in last November.
But pressure and lobbying from some members of the Cameroonian diaspora on the Democrats are putting our relationship in danger, especially when it comes to fight terrorism. In the fight against global terrorism, Cameroon is also one of our closest as they are struggling against two enemies of different nature, but using the same means.
In the extreme-North region, the Cameroonian forces are fighting against the Islamic group Boko Haram who pledged allegiance to ISIS in 2015. With the help of the United States, an international task force has been in action to put down the terrorist organization. The war is still raging, especially in Nigeria, where the group is hiding, and using their territory as a base to launch deadly attacks. But with our support (financial and military), Boko Haram is now weak in Cameroon.
In the North-West and South-East region of Cameroon, the situation may look quite different. Cameroon is 80% French-speaking and has a strong anglophone population, that are mostly located in those two areas. The situation of this minority has not always been perfect and still needs improvements. The authorities have since launched a series of meeting to make sure this issue is being taken care of and satisfy the needs from the English-speaking Cameroonians. Still, this was used as a pretext by secessionists to launch a war against the Cameroonian authorities. Their weapon are ugly: human shield, child soldiers, rapes, decapitations, attacks of schools, economic boycott, and so on. The reason behind this can be found in the presence of oil and gas in those regions – managed by American companies.
Terrorist attacks against the population, in schools, on roads, in fields and cities have spread deaths and injuries. Bede Sheppard, from the Children’s Right department for Human Rights Watch, has stated that the method used by the secessionists are the same used by Boko Haram.
Still, the Democrats inside the U.S. Department of State are blind to this reality and their agenda is not taking into account this reality. They focus on the lack of democracy in Cameroon while supporting George Soros agenda and the opposition.
But how accurate is that statement?
During the last presidential elections in 2018 that were held in Cameroon, international observers insisted on the fact that no massive fraud that could question the results were found, and that during the campaign every voice were heard.
Even after the results were contested in front of the Supreme Court, all the debates were held publicly and broadcast live on national television: a first in Africa.
If President Biya’s main opponent, Maurice Kamto, is now prosecuted it’s for one reason: the calls for violence that emerged from his side, resulting in rampages by members of the diaspora of Cameroonian embassies in Paris, Berlin and Brussels. And when some soldiers are committing crimes, they are arrested and judged by the military court.
Moreover, the diplomatic situation in Africa for the U.S. is in danger. China is omnipresent and Russia is making a strong came back on the region as the situation in the Central African Republic shows. When the two main superpowers in the world that are challenging America by placing their forces in Africa, how could we, at the same time, put in danger our relationship with our strongest ally in the region
The U.S. State Department and it’s African Department must be freed from the negative influence of those Democrats that are preventing President Trump’s policy to go into action. 2020 will be an election year, that will show what the American population desires for our country, and how we need to treat our allies, with respect and consideration.

Back in the days of the Obama Administration, West African nations were threatened with loss of foreign aid from the United States if these nations did not embrace abortion and LGBTQ political systems and lifestyles.
Surprised? The holdovers in State from that era are still there, ready to pervert a God-fearing, Islam-opposing nation somewhere in Africa.

Most of the people in Sub-Saharan Africa are fairly pro-Western and predominantly Christian, many polls show they support Israel even more than most Westerners do, for example.
But I think their governments try to remain relatively non-aligned, although there are exceptions, I think Kenya and Ghana are close friends of the United States.

Any ally of the USA … is an enemy of the Demokkkratic Party.
Almost fits on a bumper sticker, but it covers all the salient points.

Well, there is nothing new about the fact that the democrats just want to destroy Trump, no matter what the cost to the Americans, no matter what the damage to international relations, They just want to get rid of him at all cost. They seem to be terribly afraid that their past and present crimes may get investigated one day and I do hope that that will happen. The first thing Trump should do is get rid of that Ambassador in Cameroon. He surely is already very valuable for the Chinese and the Russians.

It seems that the people who committed the crimes are the ones investigating. There are some new appointments since the 2018 election, but there is very little time for a real investigation.

The Anti-Trump movement is being coordinated and funded by US Embassies controlled by Marxists. If black Africans really care about their “brothers and sisters” then they would make America their biggest partner because the biggest black African population outside of Africa is America; there are hardly any black Africans living in Asia. It will be “suicidal” for Africa to partner with Asians (ChiComs and Russkis) because they are the biggest racists.

Jimmy Carter’s legacy lives on with Iran.
Trump’s push back on the Democrat Iranian policy infuriates the Democrats.
Now Jimmy Carter is blaming the Russians despite extensive investigations which concluded there was no evidence of it.

Actually, some Russians were involved. Think “golden shower” and “Steele Dossier” that was used as a pretext to spy on the Trump campaign. That Trump tower meeting was also a coordinated Clinton-Russian set-up bait-and-switch game.

Despite the fact that Pompeo is an unabashed Trump supporter and American patriot the State Department is riddled with and basically controlled by Obama era Marxists who are determined to undermine Pompeo and Trump at every step of the way. Pompeo must cleanout this next of Commiecrats and replace them with patriots. If they remain in place they will be saboteurs.They must be removed.

Fact is Trump needs to fire a large no of card carrying, registered Democrats who can’t be trusted in the federal government! In a perfect world we Republicans would gang up on the Dems who are dim-oc-RATS at all levels like they do us on every level all the time! That Dem Ambassador should have been ousted by 2017!
Cameroon is a country that should be 2 countries or the English speaking tribe which was influenced by the UK should have been kept as an overseas dept of the UK. Truthfully the globalists of the UN are to blame for much suffering in the world as there were many viable colonies of the European Powers that should and would have stayed so if it wasn’t for the globalists including those who used US power to enact their designs! Fact is the English speaking Cameroon regions are proof positive that multilingualism really doesn’t work most of the time!
At the time of the tragic, unsuccessful Biafran effort of Nigerian Igbo Christians to get out from under Nigerian Muslims belonging to another tribe, the English speaking Africans of Cameroon should have been leveraged as their allies in a Christian Confederation dominated by the Igbo! It would have made sense & been the right thing for nonMuslim countries to do if they couldn’t stay directly under the English which might have been the best option for these Africans!
It isn’t our job to play global police picking winners and losers without US interest. Cameroon is an ally which surprises me as the French aren’t and influence their African colonies still! As long as Jihadis don’t run the country and our oil interests are protected that is all that should matter to us as other countries are their own problem since we have plenty of their own!

The greatest mystery to me is why are these people still working at State? We voted in a new way of doing business, but these people are still doing to coup thing. They need investigated for un American activities and fired.

“But with our support (financial and military), Boko Haram is now weak in Cameroon.”
Making Bofo Haram “weak” in one particular place is of no use; even if we were to wipe out this Islamic terrorist organization to the last man, there are other Muslims always available who would be willing and able to take their place and such would be an endless process.
Furthermore, our country can NOT afford to support militarily, and certainly not financially, any foreign country, even an ally as we are the largest debtor nation IN THE WORLD and have become so deep in debt that we will never able to pay it off.
Continuing to pretend that we can afford to be, or that we should be, the police force of the world and a sugar daddy to every needy foreign nation is barking dog madness which will only end with our complete financial collapse……which has now become a mathematical certainty.

Yikes! Thank you, Pamela for exposing this situation. Something to mention to my Congressional delegation. [Rep. Rob Bishop, Senators Lee and Romney] BTW, the name for this stuff is Deep State; just another example of it.

Religious composition of the country is about 25 million Christians and about 8 million muslims. That explains most of the reasoning at the state dept. Too many Christians.
