When Elysee was informed by agents of the DGSE (the emanation SEDEC) against the french espionage Friday afternoon, at 16: 04.44,of the collapse of a bridge in the locality of Mányai (Matomb district), 68 km from Yaounde, the Cameroon political capital,a bridge linking the cities of Yaounde and Douala, respectively political and economic capital.
The Quai d’Orsay advised, Jean-Marc Ayrault, head of French diplomacy takes presto illico contact with his predecessor, Laurent Fabius party to the Constitutional Council, which urged its active networks in Africa.
The former tenant of the Foreign Ministry of France was informed by Yvon OMNES, former french Ambassador to Cameroon from 1984 to 1993, which at the time settle at palace Etoudi as an all-powerful special adviser of president biya of Cameroon.
What Yvon OMNES Laurent Fabius said after the accident which occurred less than a quarter of an hour after the bridge collapse is absolutely uplifting.
“The DGSE men who arrived Kribi by helicopter, were able to speak with the driver who showed them a document committing them to cover it if something goes wrong”.
From Yaounde several comments and observations where already on the air :
1 – transport Minister, Alain Edgar Mebe Ngo, previously defense minister transferred to other duties for suspicion of corruption and illegal interest, would have used his influence to compel the Camrail management contrary to current practice, ordered additional carriages to be added without any consultation of an expert even though he was fully aware that new carriages all had poor brakes.
Moreover, these additional carriages made in China, acquired by the former director of the Camrail were known to be very bad by the public. They had been operating without problems despite their age.A few is also been usee by the Benin railways company.
A new acquisition plan, has been cleverly faked by the former director of Camrail with the complicity of the transport Minister, to harness Chinese carriages which both knew suffers brake failures.
Cameroonian through the Internet, realized the bias of this sinister minister in his sketches to frame explanations denying responsibility for this tragedy in the social network.
When Laurent Fabius hangs with Yvon OMNES, he does not remember his successor at the Quai d’Orsay Jean-Marc Ayrault as agreed, but looking directly join François Hollande who in defense of small board with “Elysium about Syria is retired to another room where he recalls Fabius from a secure, encrypted phone line. the two men talk for over an hour, and agreed at the end of this interview, that the former Foreign Minister should get in contact with Cameroon’s President to return. Fabius called Paul Biya on his laptop, but it was off. The call goes directly to voicemail. Several other attempts produce exactly the same effects.
Around midnight, Fabius made a call to the Ivorian President, Alassane Ouattara, who advised him to call a friend of his wife Chantal , who owns a beauty treatment center in Geneva,where the First Lady of Cameroon frequent assiduously during her stays in Swisss .
When Fabius finally contacted the lady who owns the beauty salon the next day, he was told that the presidential couple are on holiday in their Baden Baden property in Germany,with their daughter, Brenda who is undergoing detox treatment.
When François Hollande arrives late saturday afternoon , to meet with President Biya, thanks to the good care of the mayor, he realizes that biya is absolutely not informed of the events that occurred in his country the day before.
His advisers had probably been able to reach the first lady on the evening of Friday, but the information they sent her for her husband would obviously not penetrated to the latter.
The French president suggests to his counterpart to interrupt his stay, and return to Cameroon. Biya said he wanted to return home this weekend as originally planned.
Hanging up, Hollande immediately spoke to President Alassane Ouattara, who in turn manages to join the Cameroonian president on his laptop.
He urges a return home the same day, and even asked him to send his personal plane to pick him and Even pass through Abidjan, where he would accompany him in person.
The old “Lion” at the insistence of his wife “worked” upstream Dominique Ouattara, the wife of Ivorian President finally persuaded, and agrees that a French helicopter services accompanies them in their Swiss residence where they left the next day for Cameroon.
Meanwhile the Elysee had insisted to get the publication statement written by the French, that Paul Biya had announced his arrival in Cameroon for Sunday, October 23, 2016.
