Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Cameroon, Zimbabwe, Governance, Human Rights, Ideas, Media & Journalism

In a commentary at Babilown (Fr), Eloi Goutchili compares Robert Mugabe [1] and Paul Biya [2], president of Cameroon for over 25 years, concluding that only real difference between them is the way they are treated in the Western press: “..the Western press, so harsh when it comes to a Mugabe and so concerned with democratic progress in Africa remains silent about the exploits of this hero of françafrique‘s [sham democracies, Biya]. For this self-righteous press, as for Whites, it's dictatorship only when their interests are endangered.”
