We are living in an age where the inflexible and radical ideologies of the left and the right have been discredited, when mankind's advancement can be guaranteed only in liberal societies that are democratic and protect the civil rights of its citizens. These societies should be against what is wrong and protect what is right. Exponents of change should strive for a humanist nation or society that can find a place in the 21st century amongst the community of progressive nations.
In the struggle to dismantle one of the bastions of kleptocracy, dictatorship and neo-colonialism in
Africa; we have to learn to be critical and self critical and to judge people's mind, ideas and actions; and not base our judgments on their ancestral origins, ethnicity, race, religion, region or country. For the detractors who have not made the psychosocial advancement into political humanists that would have to build the new
Cameroon that would play a positive role in the advancement of world civilization; you too can see that a humane society is to the interest of all within its borders. We might get a better picture of what our destiny should look like if we consider our nation as a block that has to fit in a big jigsaw puzzle that is the world.
