Bibou Nissack: Plainte Contre Henry Djoko Pour Trahison au MRC

• Bibou Nissack, from prison, filed a complaint against Henry Djoko with the MRC's National Mediation and Arbitration Committee.
• Nissack accuses Djoko of treason and calumny, citing a written message from Djoko dated October 27, 2026, as evidence.
• Djoko allegedly spread claims that Nissack insulted Maurice Kamto, allied with the regime, and turned against the MRC.
• Further accusations from "Canadian sources" suggest Nissack benefited from diaspora funding and negotiated with the Yaoundé regime.
• Nissack views these actions as a coordinated "perverse conspiracy" aimed at branding him a traitor.

Nissack draws a stark parallel between the methods employed in this alleged conspiracy and those he claims led to his own "arbitrary conviction" and the incarceration of other MRC political detainees.

Bibou Nissack, currently incarcerated at Yaoundé-Kondengui Central Prison, has formally lodged a complaint with the National Mediation and Arbitration Committee (CNMA) of the Mouvement pour la Renaissance du Cameroun (MRC). The complaint targets Henry Djoko, an MRC activist based in Strasbourg, France, accusing him of treason and persistent vilification. This action follows an initial summons delivered to Djoko by Professor Fogué Tedom, which aimed to compel him to cease what Nissack describes as a campaign of calumny.

Initially, Djoko reportedly denied the accusations to Professor Tedom. However, Nissack asserts that a subsequent written message, dated October 27, 2026, and sent from outside the prison, contains "overwhelming admissions" of treason. This message, which Nissack's wife printed and conveyed to him, forms a central piece of evidence in his complaint. Nissack claims Djoko has dedicated considerable effort and resources to discredit his reputation and question his commitment to the MRC and the National Peaceful Resistance movement.

Nissack details specific accusations allegedly propagated by Djoko, including claims that Nissack "insulted" the former party leader, Maurice Kamto, "allied with the regime," and "turned his back on the MRC." Furthermore, Djoko is accused of spreading rumors that Nissack is estranged from "all other MRC detainees" at Yaoundé Central Prison, refusing to speak with them. Nissack maintains he possesses incontestable proof that Djoko personally and unequivocally endorsed and disseminated these damaging statements via telephone.

The complaint to the Comité national de médiation et d’arbitrage MRC highlights a significant internal dispute within the Mouvement pour la Renaissance du Cameroun, invoking the party's regulatory instruments that severely penalize such acts of disloyalty. Nissack's filing suggests that Djoko's actions serve as a foundation for a wider network of false allegations originating from "Canadian sources" within the party. These additional calumnies include assertions that Nissack benefited from the construction of a house entirely funded by the Diaspora and that a named member of his in-laws, with strong regime connections, negotiated his acceptance into the Yaoundé regime with his consent.

Nissack characterizes these coordinated efforts, primarily emanating from Europe and Canada, as a "particularly perverse conspiracy." He argues that Djoko and his alleged accomplices are deliberately attempting to brand him as a traitor through denunciation and gossip, denying him the opportunity to defend himself and unjustly burdening him with guilt. This calomnie politique Cameroun, according to Nissack, is designed to place a target on his back.

The gravity of Bibou Nissack's complaint extends beyond a mere internal party disagreement, touching upon the integrity of political activism and the reputation of key figures within the Mouvement pour la Renaissance du Cameroun. Nissack draws a stark parallel between the methods employed in this alleged conspiracy and those he claims led to his own "arbitrary conviction" and the incarceration of other MRC political detainees. This comparison underscores his belief that the current campaign of vilification mirrors the tactics used by the regime he opposes.

The formal complaint to the MRC's CNMA signals a critical moment for the party's internal governance and its ability to manage high-profile disputes involving prominent members. The outcome of this mediation and arbitration process could significantly impact the political standing of both Bibou Nissack and Henry Djoko, as well as influence perceptions of unity and discipline within the MRC, especially concerning its leadership under Maurice Kamto and its broader resistance efforts.

This story highlights the internal dispute resolution processes within major political parties in Cameroon, specifically concerning allegations of disloyalty and defamation among members. Lawyers advising political clients or those with significant political exposure should note how such internal complaints are managed by party committees, as these processes can significantly impact reputation and political standing, potentially leading to broader legal or compliance challenges.
