Cameroon, the forgotten repression

Violent repression of the protests organized by the Social-Democratic Front (SDF) against the dictator Paul Biya and his decisoion to modify the constitution in order to allow a third presidential mandate. At least 12 killed people. The French foreign ministry keeps the silence on the issue. No condamnation. When you have a look to their website, the last release on Cameroon was published on july, 07th 2006, "for a dinner in honor of the President of the Republic of Cameroon, Paul Biya".
