🇨🇲Cameroon's Third President? Samuel Eto’o “Mr President”, Mute on Cameroon’s Crisis | FECAFOOT FEUD

Samuel Eto’o walks into a TV studio and the first battle is not about football. It’s about titles. He wants “Monsieur le Président”. The journalist gives it to him. The crowd outside chants his name like a head of state. So the real question becomes: In a country bleeding after a disputed election, do we now have a “third president”? In this editorial, I take a balanced but uncompromising look at Samuel Eto’o’s big interview and what it reveals about Cameroon today: The “Mr President” moment What does it mean when the president of a federation demands presidential treatment on national TV, while the country is still arguing over who really won the 2025 election? A legend in a rotten system Eto’o arrived at FECAFOOT with legendary status and huge expectations, but inside a political environment designed by the Biya regime – bad governance, ministerial interference, and institutions captured by politics. Was he almost destined to fail? Yes. Did his own ego and choices make it worse? Also yes. The FECAFOOT–MINSEP war The feud with the Ministry of Sports is not just about one coach or one list of players. It’s a power struggle inside the regime: Who really runs Cameroonian football? Who decides? Who benefits? Mute on youth repression, loud for the regime Eto’o speaks freely when it’s time to back Paul Biya and the “re-election”. But when young Cameroonians are beaten, jailed or killed in the streets after 12 and 27 October, he stays silent. What does that say about the role of a public figure who commands the hearts of millions of youth? “Églisiens” vs “Hiboux” – football turned into factions Inside the sports community, labels and insults have replaced debate. If you criticise Eto’o, you’re tagged and attacked. If you support him, you’re in another camp. We unpack what these inner-joke labels hide about fear, division and self-censorship. A journalist unprepared for the moment This was the perfect chance to ask real questions on: FECAFOOT finances and ethics, Selection scandals, His relationship with the regime, His position on youth brutality. Instead, we saw hesitation and missed opportunities. When media becomes timid, power becomes arrogant. This is not a hit piece and not a fan-club video. It’s journalism: Eto’o is a hero on the pitch, but a flawed, political actor off it. Biya’s system created the crisis environment in which FECAFOOT is drowning. And we, the public, also have questions to answer about the way we idolise people while our country is in danger. 🗣️ Join the conversation Do you think Samuel Eto’o still has a positive role to play in Cameroonian football? Should someone with his influence stay neutral while youth face repression? Are Cameroonians ready to criticise their icons the way they criticise politicians?
