Through the analysis the perceptions and representation of the main players of the political game in Africa, this book reports on current and future successes and difficulties of civil society in its fight for the promotion of democracy on the continent. If alternation is the fundamental characteristics of democracy, the outgoing president who recognizes his defeat in the elections, congratulates his opponent and organizes the handover of power is ultimately the one who gives credit to this mode of goverment. The study of conflicts and power rivalries is complemented by an analysis of the ambiguous role of the international community. The advent of the third terms has fostered the emergence of a new component of African civil society within its diaspora in the West which vehemently denounces the connivance and inconsistencies of global governance. The author shows that leaders who marked the history of democracy and the hearts of young generations in Africa have only had four years of power.

Through a geographical approach, this work presents a historical overview of the main chiefdoms of the Bamileke region in western Cameroon. Beyond presenting the Bamileke people's role in the war of independence and their support for the Bassa people, the book focuses on the prominent Bamileke independence leader, Ouandie Ernest. The emergence of the Bamileke issue in Cameroonian politics was initially marked by repression. French Colonel Jean Lamberton is the one who theorized the Bamileke question. The dynamism of this people eventually made the opposing tribes feel inferior. The controversy between Mono Nzana and Sindjoun Pokam in the 1990s regarding monofascism and ethnofascism was just one example of this. The case of Bishop Tonye Bakot against Father Lado Ludovic regarding "e;the domination"e; of Bamileke students and teachers at the Catholic University of Central Africa falls within the same logic.
