Résumé

Cameroon’s political landscape has been rocked by a major decision after Territorial Administration Minister Paul Atanga Nji suspended the Front for the Front for the National Salvation (FSNC), led by Issa Tchiroma Bakary, for three months. The suspension, announced in a ministerial order signed on October 27, 2026, prohibits the party from carrying out activities nationwide amid lingering post-election tensions. Authorities accuse the FSNC and its leaders of inciting insurrection, promoting violence, threatening national unity and sovereignty, and contributing to serious public disorder and the destruction of public and private property. The order also cites the foreign residence of one of the party’s statutory leaders. Regional governors, divisional officers and sub-divisional officers have been instructed to enforce the measure, with violators facing possible legal action. The decision comes as political parties prepare for Cameroon’s 2027 municipal and parliamentary elections, raising fresh questions about the FSNC’s political future and the country’s already tense political climate.
