Sanctions against Paul Biya's Regime for Electoral Fraud & Ill-treatment of US companies

The Issue

The upcoming Presidential Elections in Cameroon have raised widespread concerns, as President Paul Biya, who has been in power for over 43 years, is attempting to run for another seven-year term at the age of 92. He has systematically used his power to arrest, jail, and torture those who oppose his regime. This crackdown on opposition includes preventing the main opposition candidate from running in this October's election.

At 92, planning to remain in power until he is 99 years old is beyond unreasonable, especially in a country where 85% of the population is 25 years old or younger. This generational gap underscores the urgent need for new leadership and representation that reflects the aspirations and values of the young Cameroonian population.

The people of Cameroon are in desperate need of support from the international community and the United States in particular, to ensure fair elections and democracy. American businesses like Prime Potomac and AshtonBridge, have invested heavily in the country, with millions of dollars at stake but can't operate peacefully, further highlighting the urgent need for a stable and fair political environment in Cameroon.

To protect the democratic rights of Cameroonians and support American interests in the region, it is imperative to call on the US Congress to pass a Resolution, and for President Trump to sign an Executive Order, sanctioning Paul Biya and 47 members of his totalitarian regime. These sanctions would send a strong message against electoral fraud and human rights abuses.

Stand with the people of Cameroon in their fight for democracy and fair leadership. Sign this petition to urge the US government to take decisive action against Paul Biya's oppressive regime.
