GUIDING THEME OF THE 51th EDITION OF THE NATIONAL DAY
20 MAY 2023
Defense forces and Cameroonian people, in harmony to safe guard peace and National unity , bedrock of a strong and prosperous Cameroon
CONTEXT
A few more days and Cameroon will celebrate the national holiday in memory of the advent of the unitary state. This year, the national unity is 51 years old. At the beginning, on May 6, 1972, Cameroonians from both sides of the Moungo decided to unite their destinies by pronouncing themselves by an overwhelming majority in favor of the creation of a unitary state. The united republic of Cameroon, which was created by referendum, replaced the federal state, which, according to the leaders of the time, had become too heavy for a young state with limited resources. Since then, May 20 has been chosen as the country’s national holiday to celebrate the cherished achievement of unity. After two years of suspension due to the coronavirus pandemic, the public manifestations of this great celebration were reactivated last year with the effective presence of the President of the Republic, Paul Biya at the Boulevard du 20 mai to preside over the military parade and the civilian parade planned for the occasion.
The theme decided for the 51 edition is: “Defense Forces and Cameroonian people, in symbiosis for the safeguard of peace and national unity, the basis of a strong and prosperous Cameroon. This year, the event takes place in a context marked by a clear improvement in the health situation related to Covid-19, the World Health Organization (WHO) having declared that this disease is no longer a global health emergency. On the security front, the numerous efforts and energetic measures deployed by the Head of State for the return of peace in the North-West and South-West regions, which are plagued by secessionist tendencies, are proving fruitful. This lull is also noticeable in the Far North region where the exactions and incursions of armed groups have been stopped…
