I am disgusted at All Africa for allowing this blatant propaganda to stand without interviewing a single dissenting voice.

The absolute truth is the organisers took advantage of the great poverty here in the North West and paid people from local villagers to attend - even laying on transport. That is fact - and yet you ignore this.

Why is All Africa promoting a president that is so widely accepted as corrupt and has been so damaging to Cameroon and it's people?

Why do you continue to reprint this propaganda? Why do you never check sources or speak to real people - instead you only believe what those who have a vested interest tell you.

How dare you tell your readers: "Show support for President Biya and march against the "Put him down" syndrome that has rocked the region in the past."

Why do you back this man and his murdering troops and his continued embezzlement of billions from this country?

You are complicit in this sham of a democracy. I would like to know why you are offering such unquestioning support to Biya.

Hi my brother. I read through the story with the same emotions as you. I am not surprised that the story was originally published by Cameroon Tribute, the Biya praise-singing newspaper.

I followed the march from planning to execution. I could not help asking myself these question: The organiser, Simon Nkwenti and his blokes claim that this is civil society, but where are the NGO? Where are the youths? How can village dance groups be said to be civil society. Why is 80% of the participants old, under-educated women from the villages? Why are most of the dance groups from Chomba, Simon Nkwenti's village? Is Chomba representative of the NW Region?

Each dance group was paid. I saw them giving out the money with my own eyes. Where did the money come from? Why would anyone pay people to participate "voluntarily" in a march? The Biya regime has infiltrated the civil society of the North West Region and the point of infiltration is called "Simon Nkwenti".

The internet can spread good things to millions of people in a second. Unfortunately, it can also do the same with bad things. I dont know why allAfrica published this story, but since I like asking questions, I am bound to ask: how do they choose which stories to publish. How much are they often paid to publish a story? How much did Cameroon Tribune pay them to spread this crap to unsuspecting readers worldwide? If anyone gives a damn to answer then these are enough questions to keep them busy for a while.
