Which may in upcoming days trigger widespread protest and calls for transition. Besides electoral campaigns and inflammatory discourse on the social media.'If the looming crisis over Biya's succession escalates to an all-out struggle for political and economic power, it could drive conflict from the periphery to the centre of the country. Existing ethnic tensions could breed violence,' the ICG statement read.The international NGO said the impending instability will lead to an increase in separatist activities from within and without from the Biafra militia on Bakassi. Causing a serious casualty on human life. The impacts, ICG added w ill also further hinder humanitarian activities and acquisition of basic human rights like education for the masses.Source : Cameroon News Agency
